It is sooo amazing to me how Matt can just casually produce wicked solos while reading chat while singing and also probably thinking about what he's going to eat while also thinking about what Corey is doing at the moment while also thinking about Killswitch Engage's new music as he's also probably watching a video game trailer for Elden Ring's next expansion. 🤘🤘
For our own defense, he has been playing this song non stop for the last two decade, the harder part is the start of the solo, which is corey's, and for his own part, you can see he does not speak nor look at the chat but looks at his guitar 😁
@ I have noticed that as well. His abilities are outstanding regardless and I am forever grateful to Matt, Trivium (and other talented metal artists) for creating a lot of great music to listen to.
Hi @matthewkheafy, just got back into Ascendency this past couple of weeks, revisiting some of my favourites with my sons (5 y/o and 18 months). I take through various tracks to get their opinion (well, the 5 year old's mainly - he loves a good "rocking song") and this has been a particular favourite of their's evidenced by their headbanging, particularly from the bridge onwards. Thanks from a small village in the UK for a couple of decades of brilliant music, really appreciate it. All the best to you.
In my early teens when these songs were relatively new, i think the crusade had just came out I hated bands with screaming. I only liked 80s stuff and a buddy of mine was like "hey dude check this shit out you'll love the guitars and the singer plays too." it took a few listens but i was definitely hooked after i went back and listened to this track. You might be one of the few vocalists that has truly practiced their vocals and its only gotten better with age.
Now that I hearing Matt playing with the styles I begin to think there must be a sweet spot between both harsh vocal styles that will sound almost as the record version :') Incredible performance as always!
The man who makes an everyday video shot to make our minds trepidate.... Love you Matt! Love and admire your steadiness and effort on being better still every day... And your passion for music!!
Matt you will smash it on Saturday... i booked a ticket after seeing you in 2014. Loved it saw you with killswitch engage. Since then i have gotten a music degree, bought your signature guitar and teach 14 students a week. So thanks for everything. Some funny memories of sitting at school watching videos of amber to inferno 2009 behind the teachers back 😂
This was a good song for me on guitar to warm up to when I started playing, and Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse😂You guys inspired me a lot with your music🤘🏻and the riffs are just great and fun to play.
Lmao the only thing I learned here is how much Matt performs in absolute chaos lol happy birthday crew oh man thank you bring you green hat phrygian dominant 3 harmonic leads yeah man should I scream like thing or sing high notes I can't hit lol what's this A sharp. Not that I ain't entertained 😂😂
Saw your Instagram post about working hard like an athlete and i think that's amazing, what i would suggest is to scream the incorrect original way for the ascendancy poison tour, just like boxers put their life on the line every time they fight for their fans you got to put that throat on the line :D and go out with a BANG!
I got kicked out of I think it was the theater of living arts in PA after punching some asshole that was spitting on Paolo during this song probably about 20yrs ago… you guys were great every time I got to see you
Hey @matthewkheafy, have you been to an ENT to check if you've done any permanent damage to your vocal chords or have any polyps? I assume yes, also It would be amazing if you'd do a collab with Elizabeth from @TheCharismaticVoice, she's part of the research team for harsh vocals and different healthy screaming techniques, you both could learn something valuable probably

He’s an alien

Hearing your dirty vocals are coming back is the best news I've heard all year.
Crazy this album is about to turn 20

Dude these screams you do at 2:30 (and also at other points) are so sick, they sound like the original album screams 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I'd give anything for a return to their roots album 🙏
dude i am so fucking excited to hear your OG vox back. you have one of the greatest metal voice distortions ever lol quite possibly the best

Gunshot to the head of trepidation has always been one of my favorite Trivium songs to play on guitar 🎸
I'm finally buying one of your guitars in two weeks. Getting the white origins 7. I'm so stoked.
Happy birthday Matt!
The man who makes an everyday video shot to make our minds trepidate....
Love you Matt!
Love and admire your steadiness and effort on being better still every day...
And your passion for music!!

Wow my fav song
God damn Matt, you sound fantastic. Stoked to see you and bullet in a couple months! Last time I saw Trivium was The Sin and The Sentence tour!!
I love Trivium you guys rock
bro the vocals are sounding SICK
Matt the legend❤
Thank you
@TheCharismaticVoice needs to see this.
Vocals sounding slick as hell Matt. Thanks for this, got back into guitar recently so will have a go at this one
Hands down the best drop.D album and this was the first song I learned of trivium all those years ago
The first trivium song I heard was Like Light to Flies (from the sims 2), this was the second trivium song I discovered. Been a big fan for years man
matt looks like the rock if he never started doing weights
Dude put all his stat points into shredding and singing, gotta say I prefer this version of the character.
This guys good, I think he's gonna go places.
Happy Birthday Matt, from the future. Have a good one mate. Rock on! \m/
4:01 Trivium but is Brian Johnson
lol that was funny!
Exactly
So fucking talented
Amazing… man I wish I could make it to a show this tour. Both for you and for Bullet. Indiana next time!
This was a good song for me on guitar to warm up to when I started playing, and Hammer Smashed Face by Cannibal Corpse😂You guys inspired me a lot with your music🤘🏻and the riffs are just great and fun to play.
Hey Matt, happy Birthday bro 🎉
oh my
And meanwhile I can’t even sing ‘For whom the bell tolls’ and play at the same time 😂
Same 😂
Oowwyeahhhhhh
Now that's a guitar cover.
This is just impossible. Matt is either an alien or a robot 🤣
🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Pero que god, aun recuerdo la primera vez que escuche esta canción en el ozzfest del 2005
You should totally do full playthroughs with Corey, no vox just guitars🤌🏻
The old vocals are back
🤘🤘🤘
See you Tuesday dude 🤟
I can't wait till thursday
Lmao the only thing I learned here is how much Matt performs in absolute chaos lol happy birthday crew oh man thank you bring you green hat phrygian dominant 3 harmonic leads yeah man should I scream like thing or sing high notes I can't hit lol what's this A sharp.
Not that I ain't entertained 😂😂
4.10 bacckkkk in black
whait yesterday he must be in tour?
Where he is streaming ?
Can you please ask Corey to do a lead son on the solo in the pre-chorus? Ive heard so few correct covers
5:05
A remaster of an ascendancy album would be sick.
9/10 rage bait
It´s like you can really seperate your brain in halfs lol. This is crazy
1st of febbbbbb

Pull harder strings of your mártir ❤😊
Bb idk why this triggered me haha.
How the hell is he multitasking like this.. Men are usually sinlge-processor which is I guess why metal geniuses who can sing are so rare.
Twenty years of practice? Dude has twins, double whammy
Awesome, but damn, you talked way too much.
