Well, it looks like "The Crusade" experiment is over (even though I liked that album). Trivium have gone back to their Ascendency/Ember To Inferno sound. Matt Heafy has really matured as a vocalist. That great scream is back, and the slower vocals are much cleaner than on "The Crusade". He's also developed a death metal growl that wouldn't sound out of place on an Opeth album. Great riffs, solos, and a combination of thrash, doom, and even a sprinkling of prog rock make this their best yet IMO. If you like Trivium, buy or "acquire" this NOW!
