Trivium - Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr
(Note: It's 12am now so 'today' in this entry is referred to Saturday.)

I'm a happy man! Bought Trivium's Ascendancy album today instead of Norma Jean since I already have their two albums on my comp. I SWEAR, TRIVIUM IS A KICKASS BAND. Blah, right now you'd probably go like "Ah heck,Daryl says that about every band he comes across" but whoa seriously, if you're looking for real kickass Metalcore with alot of Melody..Trivium is the right band! Their album is splendid!

Here's a quick review, Starting from the very soft melodious introduction filled with pianos and stuff(the end of everything), The next song comes in unexpectedly,the whole album then goes uphill as Trivium gives you heavy melodic metalcore right in your face with powermetal like guitar riffs in between..and guitar solos by both Heafy and Beaulieu. The thunderous boomy bass sound of Paolo Gregoletto,and of course not to forget, Travis Smith's superhuman double-pedalling extremely technical drumming. Songs you MUST check out on the album are 'Pull Harder On The Strings Of Your Martyr','Ascendancy','A Gunshot To The Head Of Trepidation','Like Light To The Flies','Departure' and 'Declaration'.

Indeed, one of the best albums I currently own. I'd give it a 8.5/10. The reason why I didnt give it a 10 is because I found the guitar riffs kind of monotonous on afew tracks, and Heafy's vocals on some tracks really irritated my ears as it didnt sound any different from what it had sounded earlier. BUT OVERALL, A GREAT JOB. For all metalheads, you have to get this album..

Onto my own life, Nothing much happened today, a normal day, spent the night at David's with Hakim who is now BOTAK/BALD/SHAVEN/SKINHEAD. Hakim,you seriously look like Reek now. Oh, It's also Siva's birthday so HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY MY KELENG BROTHER. UR OFFICIALLY LEGAL TO DO EVERYTHING AND WELL ANYTHING. Muaha..
