Advantages: Metal Masterpiece

Disadvantages: Long songs

Possibly Trivium's best album to date? Maybe. Ascendancy is probably their best in most people's opinion but I think this one is their best. The album starts with the track Kirisute Gomen which starts with an acoustic solo which then adds some drums then the guitars and bass come in with a powerful riff. What an amazing start to an album. The 1st single off this album was Down From The Sky which has a great guitar intro. Track 4 is Into The Mouth of Hell We March which is yet another great song from the album. Shogun is full of pure metal. Matt Heafy singing his 2 different vocal styles.

The album ends with the title track, Shogun. This song just shows how musically talented Trivium are. With heavy riffs and acoustic guitars. Just all parts of metal put into one great song. Even though it's a long song, you won't notice how long it is.

The tracklisting is as followed:
1. Kirisute Gomen
2. Torn Between Scylla And Charybdis
3. Down From The Sky
4. Into The Mouth of Hell We March
5. Throes Of Perdition
6. Insurrection
7. The Calamity
8. He Who Spawned The Furies
9. Of Prometheus And The Crucifix
10. Like Callisto To A Star In Heaven
11. Shogun

There is also a Limited Edition version of the album which includes a Making Of documentry and a few B sides includinng an Iron Maiden cover and songs that could have made it to the album.

Summary: Trivium's best to date
