It’s Official. Trivium’s New CD Title Was Stolen From A Movie
June 25, 2008 by Scott
No, it’s not Debbie Does Dallas. It’s Shogun. At least most people know of the movie title as opposed to the Japanese meaning of it. Shogun actually means “Commander” or “General”. What’s this have to do with Trivium’s music? How the hell should I know? What the hell does magnets have to do with Metallica’s new record? Guess we’ll have to wait and see. Anyway, Trivium have released the following info for those that want to read it and don’t think “Trivium sucks”. But you know you haters are going to read it all the way through anyway, just so you can find a reason to leave some sh*tty comment…we all do that.
Trivium, are proud to announce the release of Shogun 将軍, their third album for Roadrunner Records. Shogun will be released on September 30
Trivium have changed it up yet again on Shogun, choosing not to record in the familiar environs of their home state of Florida. Instead the band headed to Nashville, Tennessee to work with producer Nick Raskulinecz (Rush, Foo Fighters, Stone Sour). The result is a monolithic album that crystallizes the band’s sound and showcases Trivium’s finest elements. Vocalist/guitarist Matt Heafy is thrilled with the album, saying, “We made a cohesive, epic metal album that combines all of the ingredients of everything we feel we have ever done ‘right’ musically, while adding a new direction that the music called for.
We had so much fun creating this album and hope our fans feel that energy when they listen.
I honestly don’t know what to expect or think of this upcoming record. From what Matt has been saying, it has me kind of worried if I’ll like it. I’m one of those people that liked The Crusade for the fact that it didn’t have that wierd scream/sucking sound to it. I liked the vocals and I liked the whole damn album. Like I said…we’ll have to wait and see.

Trivium sucks.
Listen to real metal, pussies.
…and what is “Real Metal” to you? And please have an answer better than “Not Trivium!”
probably fallout boy lol
the retard
trivium own
You idiot its just a name. Do you suppose they stole the crusade from somewhere too? As for the guy listening to real metal, you can have your Judas Priest and Black Sabbath (which is defined at pure metal). Artist tone down all their shit when they take voice lessons, look at A7X for example.
Jim…I know it’s just a name as well as the movie was “Just a name”. I wasn’t really knocking the band for naming the album that, I was just playing on words. This is an old post and since the album has been released soon after and is a great album, vocals and all. And AX7 sucks. They are not metal, they never were metal and they never will be metal. Hard rock at best, but not metal.
there’s a book called shogun too.
The album’s cool. Am glad that heafy brought back the screams. With that being said I have never heard Trivium sound so psychotic.
well da only reason why he stopped with the screams is becuase he fucked up his voice on the first two albums and had to take some lessons that’s why.
the brand “Warrior” has a hockey stick called the Shogun. but i love this album.
This Trivium at their best!!!!! No other album compares to Shogun!!!
Looking back, I could have come up with a much less stupid title for this post.
Anyway, this album doesn’t get nearly enough spin time on my iPod. I’m going to have to give it a good listen today.
the singer is asian so he uses an asian word. end of discussion
Yeah, “End of discussion” because you say so, rich.
look guys trivium is a great metal band and for me its the best so fuck u all shits pooosyy
Trivium……one word……..SICK! \m/ (^.^) \m/
real metal would be the founders of metal black sabbath
