Editorial Reviews

Trivium stormed onto the metal scene in 2005 with their critically acclaimed debut album Ascendency and continued their dominance with the follow-up The Crusade. Now the band has unleashed their most cohesive and mature effort, Shogun. The band is poised to continue to knock the metal and hard rock community on its ass with what will definitely be hailed as the metal album of the year by critics and fans alike! This Special Edition includes three bonus tracks and a DVD with a 45-minute making of the album documentary as well as 'how to play' clips teaching fans how to play songs from the new album on guitar and bass.

5.0 out of 5 stars By far the best CD of the Year (2008), December 14, 2008

I have to say, I thought that with their earlier CD 'The Crusade' Trivium had sort of lost a little of their power and awe inspiring drive that was so evident in 'Ascendancy'. But with 'Shogun' Trivium have served up a combination of both earlier works and engineered the most mind blowing masterpiece i have heard in a long time.

If their was ever a CD that has created such a phenomenal comeback, it has to be Shogun. I honestly can't stop listening to it. Mat's vocals are so powerful, the lyrics and the singing are by far the biggest hit with me. Not just that though. These riffs that Trivium have created just blow the mind - Kirisute Gomen - unbeatable!! Trivium have also created this air of mystique on Shogun that is so very rare in music these days.

I have to say, i was pleasantly suprised, and so glad i was blown away when i bought this CD. You will be too. A perfect 10/10.

I'm speechless - I had the opportunity to meet these guys in Corpus Christi - and they're awesome - down to earth and fun guys. I can honestly say that the music they have created in shogun will blow you away - the riffs, solos, choruses - everything has been put together perfectly...It's by far Trivium's best sounding album ever - it's an in your face sound that simply makes you tap your foot or bang your head. Into the mouth of hell we march with Trivium and their masterpiece - Shogun.

Matt - Corey - Travis - Paolo = the best musicianship ever!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Metal Albums of 2008, October 4, 2008

Personally, I gotta give it to these guys: this album really kicks balls and was well worth the wait. Literally from start to finish a killer modern metal album. I purchased release day and it's been spinning ever since. These guys are truly underrated and this stuff is deeper and more technical than they're given credit for. It's definitely an upgrade compared to "FROM EMBER TO INFERNO" (meh) , "ASCENDANCY" (which I really dug) and "THE CRUSADE" (which was ok), much darker and more epic.

If you're a fan of they're older material you'll absolutely love this one. As Heafy himself said, "SHOGUN is the past, present, and future of TRIVIUM". Pick it up!!!
