Trivium (!!) – Violence Breeds Violence
Trivium (!!) – Violence Breeds Violence
Roasted by Rob Sutton
Never in my wildest dreams did I think when I started these roasts would I have the honour of roasting Trivium, but here we are! Now Trivium has been one of those bands I have grown up with, (like many of you reading this) but I am afraid to say that they have really dropped the ball with this song Violence Breeds Violence. First off I was sure they were signed with some big record label such as Roadrunner or some other big time label but now they’re signed with some UK based bottom feeder management called Unearthed? I mean who? Clearly Trivium has taken a step backwards and that is obvious by their attempt to infuse Killswitch Engage into their sound, it’s not even nostalgic, it’s just bland. Onto the growls on this song, now Heafy has never been known to be that strong in this department but these are really not great, they sound even more strained than me at a gym, which really isn’t a pretty sight. The cleans aren’t bad mind you. The solos here also seem to have lost the complexity of previous albums and have been replaced with mediocre trash solos and a vague attempt to be groovy, but in the end just sounds like a crap breakdown. I mean let’s take the video, Trivium are known for their big budget narrative based videos but here we have a performance based piece where it looks like the lot of them have just crawled out of a prostitute’s vagina while she is on shark week, not a good look at all! What happened Trivium, you’re breaking my heart! Honestly I can’t see why anyone would want to buy their upcoming album with this shite!
***Edit***
Fuck I have just noticed I wasn’t listening to Trivium and in fact it’s a band called Beyond Your Design! For fuck sake, which donkey decided it was a good idea to so blatantly copy Trivium and then give them a Killswitch name, the creativity here is just insane… Don’t get me wrong I like both of the bands as I explained but what the actual fuck? It honestly is like they have downloaded both bands discography and mashed them together to make a song. Did they not get Rick Rolled? This is becoming a common trend with Unearthed bands reliving the MySpace era of metal and doing it badly. So far I have had Budget Carnifex and now we have Charity Shop Trivium, Unearthed this is a call to you, send me something original please! Also, I just went on Beyond Your Design’s Facebook page and it says ‘genre: Melodic Death Metal’ GET FUCKED this as far away from Melodic Death Metal as these guys are to getting to the final of M2TM!
To sum Beyond Someone Else’s Design up, it’s a shitty copycat version of bands everyone loves that really has no place within the current scene but yet they still seem to think it is relevant, I mean it is kind of relevant but only when done by professionals, not a group of amateurs soaked in fanny blood!
***Disclaimer***
None of what I have said above represent my thoughts towards Beyond Your Design nor Unearthed and both have given me permission to roast them in this review (though still Unearthed can volunteer more of their bands if they want).
Who am I kidding; I still love the name Beyond Someone Else’s Design!
