Trivium - Catastrophist - What The Dead Men Say

[Manvir B]

Me and the boys waiting for the new Trivium album !

Catastrophist is soooo goood :

 

[Daniel Sobota]

Oh you know, it's just the best band in the world being the best band in the world, nothing special really...

April 24th CANNOT come earlier!

 

[Dominik Gräber]

Maybe wasn't in the mood when I first heard it. But I think it sounded a little generic for Trivium standards. Also, 10 song album and no special edition / cd bundles. Hoped for more.

Still excited though, the song wasn't bad and the artwork is killer. Also, can't Matt just release his new signature guitar already?

 

[Ed Seith]

Agree, Dominik. While my expectations for Trivium are possibly unfairly high, this was underwhelming and generic sounding for them. Hopefully, that's just why they chose it as a leading single.

Back in the late 80s, the lead single was usually the most generic and sometimes worst song on the record, because it had to pander to non-fans, too. The rest of the record was usually more daring and sometimes completely different tonally.

I hope that's the case here, as well.

 

[Dominik Gräber]

Hope so. The Sin and The Sentence really showed what that album was about. Then again, I love that song. So cool when bands do that singing with background screaming.

 

[Daniel Sobota]

Man, I completely disagree with you two on this haha. The song is a rager.

Actually it was so soft I needed some Nickelback right after!

I do miss the ascendancy/shogun era , but bands move on and i guess time will tell what's in store.

Same with me missing WTF/COE era with A7X haha.

Matt was playing live now on twitch, really cool live guitar tone and vocals were on point, I need to listen again to the song, I think I like it more the more I listen to it!

 

[Donovan Etue]

I'm in the same boat as you guys. I've only really got into Trivium in the last 6 months and really enjoyed what I had heard so far from Shogun, Sin and the Sentence, and Ascendancy. But this seems pretty generic by Trivium's standards. I enjoy the song but it doesn't feel all that special or different. I'm hoping it's like Ed said and that this is the lead single because it's a bit more generic.

 

[Manvir B]

Listening to it more and more really it really reminds me of silence in the snow.

 

[Dominik Gräber]

I feel Like my alter Egos Chad and Corey really have different opinions on "catastrophist"
When I woke up this morning I thought about the Song and my inner Chad of course went "that Chorus is so popy, it's Not heavy enough" while Corey Said "It's catchy though"

 

[Manvir B]

As long as they are happy making music they wanna make l will listen to the ones I like.

 

[Ed Seith]

Listening to it more and more really it really reminds me of silence in the snow.

And THAT is a BIG problem for me.

 

[Daniel Sobota]

And THAT is a BIG problem for me.

Where do you hear SITS?

To me the song feels like a logical continuation of TSATS with some old Trivium mixed in in the heavy bridge.
