Trivium - Shogun part 1 (High quality) + Lyrics

[xxxBlackSnowxx]

@Metalhead6781 It's about fucking awesomeness

[Metalhead6781]

I'm new trivium, so what is this song about?

[Brock71B]

Love the song, but I was slightly disappointed by the title of this entry. For some reason, I expected the lyrics to be IN the video instead of the description.

[10strein]

best band ever no one comes close. I dont care what anyone says but I listen to lots of metalcore and trivium is one of the only bands that have such a original sound.

[demonof90]

@10strein get out their and explore. way more original bands than trivium... dream theater, opeth, symphony x, between the buried and me shit the list goes on

[Xallia621]

@demonof90 Some damn good bands you've listed there. Haven't listened to much Between the Buried and Me, though. Dream Theater and Symphony X are my favorite bands, and even when bands try to replicate their styles, they don't even come close. Hopefully both those bands have a lot more in them :D

[seanyboy212]

the most epic song EVER. only completely amazing musicians can write a 12 minute epic.

[clem070605]

4:36 sounds like James Hetfield singing.

[Cakkeroni]

Why the hell does everyone keep complaining about it ending in the middle of the solo, go listen to part 2 and you'll hear the rest of it you idiots. Or better yet, go get the album and listen to it in full. God damn.

[PrinceOfSand538]

their new drummer made them sound alot heavyier to me

[Calibur43]

@PrinceOfSand538 I think it was for the best.

[PrinceOfSand538]

@Calibur43 i think so too but we'll see how much more they'll evolve with their new guy hopefully it'll get better and better

[4g63gen1]

this song is epic

[bananaman643]

thier new drummer sucks.... :)

[98RamMagnum]

@bananaman643 he doesn't suck, he's just not Trivium

[bananaman643]

@98RamMagnum exactly

[Calibur43]

@bananaman643 Nick brought a MASSIVE alteration to Trivium's sound, and the band fully agrees with it. He's giving them new life.

[XxTheMichellexX]

Okay so I know I'm not crazy.. but starting at 00:31.. listen to the guitar.

Where else have you heard that? I've heard it somewhere else but I can't remember where.

[skullz10779]

@XxTheMichellexX

Trivium often use sounds they have heard in their songs

[XxTheMichellexX]

@skullz10779 yus i know. I'm a HUGE trivium fan.. but that bothers me. Not that they used the same sounds but the fact that I can't remember what the song is called. =/

[skullz10779]

@XxTheMichellexX

i am too:)

yeah sorry i cant help you there :/

[Calibur43]

@XxTheMichellexX Well the clean guitar in Kirisute Gomen is the same as Shogun's chorus but........idk about 0:31.

[yngwiefangirl08]

guitar = eargasm xD

[Diluted99]

Anybody knows the meaning of the word shogun?

( Cool song btw, fucking love it )

[TheBadgerslayer]

@Diluted99

I dont know what it means, but it was an anchient Japanese warrior. Someone was telling Matt Heafy about them and he thought it was the coolest thing ever, so named the album after it.

[ShadySamurai]

@Diluted99 A shogun was the chief samurai of Japan. He was granted the emperor's authority, and his power was absolute. However, because of multiple noble families feuding for this rank, it was rarely ever obtained. You should read Shogun by James Clavell

[BaffledOrange]

shogun was the equivalent of general in japan to be a shogun you had to unite japan under your rule and be a member of the minnamoto(probs spelt hat wrong) family if you weren't you only recieved the title of daimyo and mtt heafy named this album shogun because he's half Japanese not because he liked what someone told him about it

[BaffledOrange]

ok hope that clears things up you can search shogun on wikipedia if you want to know more btw thats why thers a song called kirisute gomen on the album (it means i apologize for killing you)cuz the album is a tribute to heafy's japanese heritage ok?

[meharag]

@BaffledOrange Err... Kirisute Gomen does not mean "I apologize for killing you". It means "To cut and leave"

>.>

[BaffledOrange]

yes while that is true it was also said by samurai before they killed as an apologie if they respected that person etc

[Grokitach]

@Diluted99 Go buy a dictionnary -_- ... Or a culture ?

[tiggers4ever]

i think i just listened to an orgasm. i love this song so much

[sharisnail03]

this is sooo Metallica!

[cyanideandhappiness7]

@sharisnail03 no, not at all. this is 1000X better. this is original.

[sharisnail03]

@cyanideandhappiness7 How can it be original when Metallica were around first! It is clear they have been strongly influenced by them :)

[kolorofynup]

Awesome song ;> Could u tell me which songs are as awesome as that?:D

[xShadowNovax]

One of their best songs to date.

[travis0903]

Brutal! ends right in the middle of one of the most beautiful guitar solos ever... not impressed.. But the sound quality is awesome!

[aapril88]

[SE3I1]

[spongeCrab29]

a right song to be fitted with in a wounded soul

[headbagger63]

dude this sounds like old metallica

[MetalTillIDie461]

Musical Pornography

[RideTheRainbowTV]

@MetalTillIDie461 but "pornography" has no artistic merit, maybe like a masterpiece painting OF porn!?!? hahaha

[RagingChaos27]

Trivium is the next Metallica, I say this with Metallica as one of my favorite bands.

[JayRocka0617]

@RagingChaos27 There can never be another Metallica, in terms of how big they got and how good their music was. Trivium and Metallica are my 2 fav bands, out of everything I listen to... but yeah, if only you were right ;p

[bradyhasguitarskills]

@JayRocka0617 I think if Trivium keeps gaining as much ground as they are, In a few years they will be the Metallica of our (well atleast my) Generation.

[Xertex666]

Hell right, because both Tristram from Diablo and Shogun by Trivium are masterpieces! ;D

[SeldoonNemar]

The bit starting at 3:58 really reminds me of music from Tristram in Diablo 2- badass.

[sewergoat]

@SeldoonNemar hell yeah amazing game

[darkcuddles]

vraiment un trés trés bon album,certainement mn preferer ac tt les otres mé un pti plus pr celui la vive trivium kan est ce kil vienne en france putain?????

[niljake666]

lol

[BUNJEE321]

that song kinda sucks.

this one is waaay better

[paulyboy911]

no...i mean...i can ALMOST see what you mean. but it's quite a stretch. it doesn't sound enough like it that anyone would ever make that connection.

[KingGerudo]

wtf?

Enter the Sandman?

Not even close....

[paulyboy911]

the part at 5:07 actually reminds me a bit of a Dream Theater song. I just can't remember which one it is

[AngryBob4213]

Would it be "The Best of Times"?

[paulyboy911]

Nope, it's "Misunderstood" off of Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence that it reminds me of

[masonwrestler3]

@paulyboy911

are u thhinking of sacrificed sons??

[paulyboy911]

No. I'm thinking of Misunderstood. Listen to the part at 5:05 and then listen to the intro to Misunderstood. This reminded me of that

[pantera6747]

this is a great song

[xBlacklotusx666]

genius

[xBlacklotusx666]

one of the best songs ive ever heard... genius
