Awesome video, awesome reaction. I've heard the song a hundred times; never had the lyrics in front of me. Was great taking that journey with you. I felt the connection to your current political climate that you touched on. Be safe brother. Their latest work (an amazing album altogether) touches directly on some of it. For relevance to the current situation check out Catastrophist, Among the Shadows and the Stones or possibly The Ones We Leave Behind. Although two of my favorites off the new one are What The Dead Men Say (possibly relevant) and Sickness Unto You (about his Matt Heafy's dog).
I don't see anyone commenting about it. But the Samurai in the video are very relevant. It's very much a song about death, and war, and life. "Behold the loathesome demons, send them into the hell they made" is clearly saying what everyone in war says about the other side: "They're views are wrong, they're the demons. They've created this hellish war we're now a part of." Or later, "the pulse is now quickening, softly, it's painstaking. Look within to calm the storm..." This warrior needs to take a deep breath and steady himself for the war that's about to come. He's standing there, afraid, yet defiant, ready to die for what he believes in. He's accepted death, as is obvious by his attempt to calm his emotions. He's steadying himself, knowing he may not make it home. Absolutely beautiful meaning and an incredible song. (Edit) You can almost see the first 4 minutes, before the gentle part as the justification for why "this man" in the lyrics (who isn't directly spoken about, but I feel he's there) believes in going to war and dying for his country and brothers. In the gentle, second part, you can hear him steadying himself for the battle to come, and in the final part, the chaos, the heavy, epic sounding ambience symbolizes war - crazy, horrible, terrible war. Absolutely magnificent how they can covey the full circle of life in a song.
Dude just sayin. I watch a lot of reaction creators because I love seeing people react to the music I love. I can honestly tell you yours have been some of my favorite yet! Keep it up man you have my sub for sure !
So awesome!! Thank you so much for checking out my request, I'm about to start it now, I hope you enjoy it!! (Edit) I'm so glad you enjoyed it!! If you want a song that makes you feel exactly what is talking about, rain and despair and hopelessness all wrapped up in one, truly another song with beautiful meaning, then PLEASE check out "Into The Mouth Of Hell We March - Trivium". I saw someone request it and I completely agree. Thank you!!
I like your curiosity and hunger to understand my friend also your respect for the talent and appreciation for the lyrics and work put in. Trivium is amazing. Welcome home 🤘🖤🤘 Btw react to Coheed and Cambria "In keeping secrets of silent earth 3" thank me later. Coheed is a journey. Cheers
I hear that Shogun is one of the best albums. I will keep Cease all fire in mind and likely react to it. Thanks man for watching and commenting I appreciate you!!
@@NTN_Lex Never thought I'd see a recommendation of Cease all your fire. This is my favourite song on the project. While some may not like it as its 'different' from their original sound, I loved the album Silence in the Snow and I think its an amazing body of work, along side every other Trivium album. Would love to see this reaction man. I'm a native rap/uk rap listener and have recently gotten into metal myself and absolutely love Trivium
React to Trivium - Entrance of the Conflagration it's based on a real life story about a mother drowning her own children by the order of Satan. This did happen back in 2001 and Matt did a great job analyzing this story. You'll love it
Epic Song! Epic honest reaction! And EPIC fan made video. Damn. Every bit of it. Check this. Trivium dropped their first album when they were 17 years old. There was a time people hated on them because they were so meticulous about their playing and practicing.
I remember an interview in a magazine when they first came out they said they wanted to be the next Metallica and people laugh. Well look whose laughing now
the depth of the lyrics is what has drawn me all this time to trivium. they paint a picture. it may be up to you to interpret the message. but its so so much more than just angry screams like most people think.
I know I am late in commenting, but I see no one breaking down the title. Shogun in those times, was a title for a military dictator in Japan. They were rulers, highest (or one of the highest) in the hierarchy. The title is the key to the song, and everything makes sense, even the association to the samurai. But yes, there are political overtones, because it was so in those days in Japan, and is something we get to see quite often now and then in our present world.
You reacted very well to one of the modern Metal Marvel's of th 21st century and kudos to you, you understand the lyrics very well. You should also react to Halo by Machine Head.... That's some epic shit too...
First track I ever heard from Trivium years back before I seen them with Slipknot hands down this song bangs...🔥🔥🔥🔥 Should really check out Down from the Sky by Trivium..🤘🤘
I loved your reaction video, thank you for uploading it. You have more than earned my sub. I would like to recommend another Trivium song for you off their new album: Amongst The Shadows and The Stones
The singer Matt has often said that the lyrics come from a certain aspect or story/theme but that the listener can interpret them in their own way. They're kind of relatable on a general level but as you said man, sometimes your mind will attach or assign it to a certain thing, which is pretty cool honestly. On a side note if you want a real deep metal song that'll give you some food for thought then check out Architects "These Colour's Don't Run". It has a neat lyric video too. Bit of a different vibe from Trivium though as Trivium is more toward traditional heavy metal where as Architects are seen as "modern metalcore" maybe you could call it.
I have to mention before I upload the Architects...i thought in my video recording that they might be from the UK or something...i Googled and there was a band from KC MO WITH THE SAME NAME!!! THEN I watched a couple more videos and they appear to be from the UK!! i should have left my first narrative in there but I didn't bro.. you tell me.. are these guys from the UK?
Because your handle is so funny to me, I probably will..i might start like Trivium Tuesdays until I get their songs all reacted too 😆 thanks for watching!
Well you are perfectly right to associate the song with Samurai. During the age of Samurai in Japan the Emperor was the figurehead of the state but held no real power. The real power was the Shogun, who was the military leader of the nation. Samurai answered to their local lords (Diamyo) and the Diamyo answered to the Shogun.
Little bit of Metal Education for you: That changeup in the middle isn't a breakdown lol a breakdown is when it drops heavy af after building up, so basically the opposite 😂 love this song though, great reaction

GOD dude but Bending The Arc To Fear has straight up death metal riffs all over it. Absolute BANGER song.
MASTERPIECE

Trivium - Cease all your fire, if you like epic sound. Also everything else on Shogun album.

@@Deepak-uk4cf one of the best songs on SITS
Amazing reaction man. This is by far Trivium’s best song and possibly album.
React to Trivium - Entrance of the Conflagration it's based on a real life story about a mother drowning her own children by the order of Satan. This did happen back in 2001 and Matt did a great job analyzing this story. You'll love it
you should ask him on his channel :D he is very open guy to talk to

And such cool f'ing guys too.

ouuuuuu good request man Halo is my fav Machine head song

Trivium - Becoming The Dragon
I loved your reaction video, thank you for uploading it. You have more than earned my sub.
I would like to recommend another Trivium song for you off their new album: Amongst The Shadows and The Stones
Hey thanks man, glad you enjoyed it! There is surely more Trivium and other metal coming soon. Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!
I'm with you man! I would love to hangout with Matt and the whole band. Just for an hour lol I can get enough answers in that amount of time 🤣🙏🤞
Departure by Trivium is a masterpiece. I think you'd really like it.
The singer Matt has often said that the lyrics come from a certain aspect or story/theme but that the listener can interpret them in their own way. They're kind of relatable on a general level but as you said man, sometimes your mind will attach or assign it to a certain thing, which is pretty cool honestly.
On a side note if you want a real deep metal song that'll give you some food for thought then check out Architects "These Colour's Don't Run". It has a neat lyric video too. Bit of a different vibe from Trivium though as Trivium is more toward traditional heavy metal where as Architects are seen as "modern metalcore" maybe you could call it.
I appreciate that man. Of course now I will have to check that out, because I am curious what modern metalcore entails. Thanks for watching!!
I have to mention before I upload the Architects...i thought in my video recording that they might be from the UK or something...i Googled and there was a band from KC MO WITH THE SAME NAME!!! THEN I watched a couple more videos and they appear to be from the UK!! i should have left my first narrative in there but I didn't bro.. you tell me.. are these guys from the UK?
@@NTN_Lex yeh man the UK band Architects I meant dude :)
nice plants at the back
Check out Departure by Trivium or Like light to flies! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Check out "The Defiant" off of Triviums new album. You'll like this one too if you have the same perspective with Shogun. Its a banger.
You should also react to Throes Of Perdition by Trivium....
It's dope..
Because your handle is so funny to me, I probably will..i might start like Trivium Tuesdays until I get their songs all reacted too 😆 thanks for watching!
@@NTN_Lex Hahahaha, Trivium is one hell of band, worth following!!
My girlfriends cousin was the drummer on this album
Nice🤘🏽
One of 17
Travis Smith was the man
Please react to “The Defiant” from their new album as well “What the dead men Say”
I'm keeping all of these songs on a list for reaction! Thanks for the sub and thanks for watching!
"Metal Poetry"
this song is like the master of puppets of trivium, if you never heard master of puppets by metallica, you have to listen to this song
I have heard it... But I've never HEARD it.. If that makes sense 😉
@@NTN_Lex hehe i got you bro
Check out into the mouth of hell we march by trivium!
Oh my God YES. This has one of Trivium's best guitar solos EVER written.
More people should see your channel... try Brave this storm or blinding tears will break the skies by trivium. Or signal fire by killswitch engage
you have to listen to orphan and solway firth from Slipknot
