That is approximately how long it has been since I bought a CD. I really hadn't heard anything that compelled me to buy one. I listened to the radio, shoutcast stations, etc. But when I heard Trivium (Ascendency the song actually) I just had to go get that album, got the special edition one. Just wanted to post and let the guys know how much I appreciate their music and that they have re-awakend the desire for music in me. In fact, at 34, I have decided to fulfill a lifelong dream that pretty much waned in this time to learn to play the guitar. I am learning on my wifes old Strat, and when I am sure I am going to stick with it, I am going to get a new Dean (ML Noir XT is the one I have my eye on).
I can't wait for the new album in October. Thanks again for the great music guys!

It's never too late to start playing guitar
I have a Dean ML Noir XT myself and I can easily say it's one of the best guitars I've ever played on, it's worth like twice as much as it costs IMO

Did you but Ember to Inferno aswell as Ascendancy.. ?

Wow, good for you man

I was in a similar situation except it was a over a year ago when Ascendancy first came out. I almost lost faith in metal. Metallica didn't really play metal anymore and there was nothing out there that was in the same calibre as classic Metallica. There were a few bands that had a song or 2 that were good but nothing like Trivium. Trivium's songwriting is just CONSISTENTLY good, much like early metallica. Ascendancy has like 12 songs and I love all but maybe 1 song. There are VERY few albums where I can say I love 95% of the songs on the album, I can only think of 5 albums like that at the moment. I too am dying to hear The Crusade and I will be buying it the first day it comes out then going to their headlining show the day after that...can't fuckin wait!
