Formed in Orlando, Florida USA, at the dawn of the 21st century, Trivium
was soon picked up by small independent label Lifeforce Records. By this
time comprising only singer+guitarist Matt Heafy, bassist Brent Young
and drummer Travis Smith, the threesome started playing covers of Alternative-Metal,
Thrash-Metal songs.
Their debut full-length disc, "Ember To Inferno", was released
in October 2003 and one track from this album appeared on a magazine compilation
CD, which fell into the lap of longtime Roadrunner Records A&R man
Monte Conner, who immediately heard the potential in the band.
In March 2005, following the replacement of Young with bass player Paolo
Gregoletto and the recruitment of guitarist Corey Beaulieu, the band released
"Ascendancy", a bold and dynamic statement of intent that confirmed
the potency of these young men's talents and charisma. The album garnered
a large number of frothing, positive reviews throughout the music press
around the world, hitting #4 on the U.S. Top Heatseekers chart and became
their first Billboard Top 200 entry at #141.
Trivium returned in October 2006 with their second Roadrunner Records
release, "The Crusade", which includes the singles "Entrance
Of The Conflagration" and "Anthem (We Are The Fire)".
