Corey and Matt from Trivium stopped by the Guitar World studio to play along to their new single "The Sin and the Sentence" from their brand new album of the same name. Check it out!
HellianTV I've legitimately had moments where I've imagined if some of history greatest composers heard this sort of guitar work. Honestly think they'd love it. Just reading how Beethoven seemed posessed with energy composing (including others) has me convinced that if him and others were alive today they'd be metal heads.
Its amazing to me how, even with as intricate and technical their guitar playing and writing is in this song, the fact remains that Alex still manages to overshadow them by so much with his drum play! This band is now just an embarrassment of riches in terms of overall talent, with every single member among the very best there is at their respective positions in the band. I mean, like or dislike Trivium all you want, there is still no doubt that this remains among the very most talented group of metal musicians out there, and its been that way for a long time (though Alex's abilities really shoot that musicianship through the stratosphere).
I thought these guys were an amazing duo 10 years ago when they were still practically kids. I am blown away by how much they've improved in not only songwriting and performing but more importantly playing off each other. I cannot think of many better pairs of guitarists in the genre now that are a couple decades if not more through their careers. This album is going to absolutely destroy!!
There has been some epic metal guitar duos over the years Glen Tipton and kk downing, James Hetfield and Kirk Hammet, Adrian Smith and Dave Murray but Matt Heafy and Corey Beaulieu are among those elite company they are a modern day powerhouse
Thanks GW! That was pretty cool. I have been rewatching through some of their early tutorials/playthroughs back when Ascendancy was released. It's nice to see them doing this sort of thing again because they've been absent from it a while, and wondered the other day whether they would do another one anytime soon for the new album. Cool stuff!
Ever since this song came out I'm constantly listening the solo part, it truly is masterpiece 3:28 . This album is enormous improvement in comparison with silence in the snow.
This was very entertaining to watch, and I love the new album! I cant wait to see you guys the 29th.... BTW I was one of the whiners about the last time you guys were at Glenn Helen... thanks for the great music thru the years even though Ive been a cry baby about some of the stuff haha
matt is amazing he didnt even need to tune. as a guitarist i understand but its the effort and the perfection that he wanted thats even more amazing look back knowing that your awsome bro
Really wish they would have played with just the bass and drum tracks. It was kind of distracting with the guitars from the track. Really killer stuff and the album isn't half bad. Can't wait to see them in LA.
Are you sure Corey isn't Mick Thomson lost son?
2:05 tuning the guitar while playing like a boss
Honestly one of the best guitar duos in modern metal. Both amazing guitarist and musicians.
"Let me just quickly tune my guitar in this 4 bar break" Hahaha! Also solid downpicking.
That down pick technique looks better than mine.
I have to use my elbow for aggressive down picks.
listen to like light to the flies if you havent
Dao Yang It's all about the wrist. Same with Drumming.
These guys make me want to play my guitar and throw it away at the same time.
Pitdog360
If you can get over feeling envy and the grind you can be as good or better than these guys
Wish I could play metal for a living.
Fuck yes
Sial
TheLast Dragon Work at it dude practice everyday and find other people to play with.
matt heafy just created a new tuning called drop half step aft every bar
I never noticed how technical Corey's Pre-chorus parts are! Sheeeeez
Wasn't expecting them to go Vivaldi in the middle there
Loved Matt tuning while playing. Bet anyone else would have stopped the recording and started over ha
Axl Rose would have cancelled the tour.
I love their neo-classical side.

Meğer o da Triviumcuymuş :D Selam dostum. Harita hikayelerine devam güzel seri (Y)
matt said on the last album he was learning classical guitar to improve his playing and holy hell did it work.
Whata?
Just one of their fingers has more talent than me playing with both hands
God bless Heafy’s vibrato, ouch.
WHAT? Guitarworld video with decent tones, blasphemy
These guys still got, best thing they've put out in years!

that snapback is hanging on for dear life!!!!
Matt's trem picking riff at the end was sick

One of the best guitar duos in metal \m/
if you like guitar duos in metal, there's no way around Mark and Will from Lamb of God
What about Zacky and Syn? (a7x)
RazeD syn is great but the other guy.... meh
Or Adrian and Davey?
Bill and Brent from Mastodon, can't forget those dudes
Fuck. Yes. All that hidden neo-classical and black metal rhythm is fun to see here. Didn't catch some of it on the audio.
Trevor Smith
Really? The breakdown is straight black metal. Haha
theres a shitload of hidden and nuanced inspiration thrown in here. its like they used every genre except metalcore to make an epic metalcore song.
Guys, when you're mixing the old school syle riffs with some modern shit... something amazing comes out!

They work so well together. Can tell they’ve been around together for a long time.

The Jebdude haha surprise seeing you here
This album is going to be amazing.
I fcking love how Corey is playing 1:1 his solo to the backing track.
Have never really listened to this band but this is a great song and the guitar playing is great. I’ll start listening more to your stuff
I WANNA SEE ONE OF BETRAYER
5:47 Now I can understand the sound of alternating picking.
Can’t wait for the new record
Didn't know Steven Seagul transitioned into metal! I hope he makes his sensei proud...

Excellent job!! I'm glad to tell Trivium is one of the bands that inspired me as musician
the riff from the chorus is devastating and also the one from the pre chorus
Masters....I love how they interact each other...!
Can you guys at guitar world see if Corey and Matt will come back and do a playthrough for In The Fire from the Roadrunner United thing?
Excited as hell for the new album, can't wait!
Cant wait to hear the whole album!

Really wish they would have played with just the bass and drum tracks. It was kind of distracting with the guitars from the track. Really killer stuff and the album isn't half bad. Can't wait to see them in LA.
