Ascendancy [CD], Trivium, CD

ASCENDANCY, the new album from Trivium, is filled with carefully crafted songs that surge with energy, passion and originality. Trivium incorporates aspects of melodic death metal, prog-rock, twin guitar harmonies and point/ counterpoint dynamics twisting around vocals that alternate from melodic and pained to caustic and full of rage to create an album that will appeal to not just hard rockers but everyone. First single is "Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr."
