Trivium - Suffocating Sight (guitar cover)

This is a great thrash metal song from Trivium's "Ascendancy" album. (Yes, I'm calling it THRASH metal. ;-) Apparently it pisses certain people off when any song written by Trivium is labeled as "thrash", even though most of these riffs would fit perfectly into songs by bands that thrash metal fans claim to like. It irritates these people so much that they organize coordinated commenting sprees on my videos chock full of name-calling and other behavior typical of musical elitists. I find this extremely amusing, so I'm only going to increase my efforts to promote certain Trivium songs as "thrash metal".) The picking in this song is pretty crazy, but I think I managed to get it close enough. The solo also requires some very fast finger movement (a bit more than I can handle), so it's a bit sloppy. I hope you enjoy!

I'm playing a Washburn X50 Pro FE guitar through a POD 2.0.

I have posted the tab for this version on my website:

@ssjdustin Well yeaah Trivium has a lot of influences from Pantera. And Matt was influenced a lot by Phill's screams.

[ssjdustin]

@FassaertS I know right? Pantera had screamed vocals, and they weren't metalcore. They were fucking METAL.

@BfmvMetalDemon Metalcore is a combination of Metal and Hardcore and Trivium have allways been metalkids , they were never into Hardcoremusic so it pisses them off that people call them Metalcore. What I'm saying is a Matt Heafy quote :p

[BfmvMetalDemon]

@FassaertS why don't trivium like core music? :D

[ThrashMetalTrivum]
