About The Crusade
Product Description THE CRUSADE is the third album by thrash metal band Trivium. Singer Matt Heavy uses a low singing voice similar to that of Metallica's James Hetfield, and the Metalcore scream that dominated the band's first two albums is rarely heard on THE CRUSADE. About the Artist Formed in Orlando, Florida at the dawn of the 21st century, Trivium was soon picked up by small independent label Lifeforce Records, which released their debut album Ember To Inferno in 2003. One track from this album appeared on a magazine compilation CD, which fell into the lap of Roadrunner Records Senior VP of A&R Monte Conner (Slipknot, Sepultura) who immediately heard the potential in the band. It felt like fate because every time I turned on the radio or the TV, there was a Roadrunner band playing. It felt like some kind of omen.Â" In March 2005 the band released Ascendancy; a bold and dynamic statement of intent that confirmed the potency of these young menÂs precocious talents and charisma. The album garnered a large number of frothing, ultra-positive reviews throughout the music press around the world, including the NY Times, Stuff Magazine, Revolver, Decibel and Metal Hammer, Rock Sound and Kerrang in the UK, who declared Ascendancy 2005Âs album of the year. Trivium soon graced the covers of a lot of these magazines and picked up a fistful of coveted awards in the UK, including ÂBest International Newcomer at the 2005 Kerrang! Awards ceremony and several Metal Hammer Golden God statuettes. Suddenly it seemed that the sky was the limit! Â"The UK just rocked, right off the bat,Â" smiles Heafy. Â"It all happened so quickly. The first show we had in Wolverhampton, we were the first of three bands. We took the stage to this huge Trivium chant, something we never experienced before. When we finished our set the whole room cleared out and people were running out to get our signatures. It was an amazing feeling. The next thing we know, we were given the offer to play at Download.Â" Globally renowned, the Download Festival takes place on the hallowed turf at Donington Park - one-time home of the legendary ÂMonsters Of Rock festival. Trivium were eager to make their mark in front of such a huge audience... Â"We were booked to play on the third stage, playing to maybe two or three thousand people,Â" recalls Heafy. Â"Then they swapped us to the main stage. We were all really stoked, but I remember that at 10:59am there was no one there at all. 30 seconds after that, 40,000 people came swarming across the hill towards the stage. We were thinking ÂWhat do we do now? The next thing I know weÂve played the biggest show of our lives.Â"
