Trivium to rock God of War III with exclusive tune
by David Hinkle 
{ Oct 21st 2009 at 7:45PM }
The news was revealed by Trivium guitarist/vocalist, Matt Heafy, during an interview with Baltimore rock station 98Rock's Kid Christoff. It's definitely an "original song," Heafy said -- don't expect a tune lifted from one of the band's previous albums. If you're looking for a sneak preview, we suggest you crank this and watch this.

You could have picked a better trivium song to introduce people to them. ie a gunshot to the head of trepidation or pull harder on the strings of you martyr. either way glad to see that this game is going to have a good soundtrack so i dont play on mute with trivium on in the background anyway.

and yes I agree not the best song to introduce people to the band

Wait..... There are good Trivium songs!?!?! If you are into generic crap metal, possibly. If you have good taste in music, your ears will bleed if you listen to this garbage!

FUUUUUUUUCK. Words cannot describe how awful Trivium is. Couldn't they have gotten a real metal band to make them a song?
Matt @ Oct 22nd 2009 3:42AM
Seriously.
This could be a game ruiner for me. I know that sounds stupid, but I really can't stand this band . . .
Shoulda put some old Burzum on the soundtrack hahahahaha

Sry for double post but just wanted to say I saw them live a few weeks ago in Fargo, ND and they put on a great show.
muir666 @ Oct 21st 2009 8:51PM
Seen them 4 times. manchester 06 download 06 manchester 08 and download 09. they get better everytime. and @ richie tozier who do you think they should have gotten to write a song for it?
Richie_Tozier @ Oct 21st 2009 11:00PM
Someone like Megadeth, Forbidden or Holy Moses. You know, someone who's actually metal although i'd prefer the soundtrack to be completely done by an orchestra like in the other games.
Chex Ranger @ Oct 21st 2009 9:40PM

Trivium fits GOW perfectly in my opinion.
dmd @ Oct 21st 2009 10:01PM
Don't get me wrong, I f****** love metal, but to have a metal song IN game in God of War...? I don't like this a bit. They should keep the soundtrack to the orchestra alone.
Richie_Tozier @ Oct 21st 2009 10:08PM
Well, Trivium's not real metal so that should quell your worries.
jc @ Oct 21st 2009 10:08PM
Ughhhh, saw these guys live back in 04 or 05, they destroyed master of puppets in a very very very bad way. Wanted to skin my own penis than ever hear them again.
However, their misheard lyrics thing on youtube is hilarious, BOAT RUDDER, STRANGE MOUNTAIN.

I am here to ride bike!
It's just the way you PISS!
I could be mistaken & thinking of the Job For A Cowboy interpretive lyrics vid.

I wonder if they've finally stopped milking dimebag's death? everytime I'd see them open for a band they would play a bit of Domination and Walk and talk about dimebag just for some easy cheers.
oh and they ruined those songs and would stop just before the solos
xbox420king @ Oct 21st 2009 10:58PM
Why do people dress like that?
Trep @ Oct 21st 2009 11:18PM
I was listening to their song Insurrection, and thought it would be a perfect God of War song, probably should've just used that one. It fit the series perfectly.
DKiller79 @ Oct 22nd 2009 2:00AM
Hey the song better be very sick and very Brutal
gotjf @ Oct 22nd 2009 2:16AM
If they put it in a soundtrack on seperate disc, fine, I dont have to hear it. But dont put it in the game, PLEASE !!! Keep the music like the first two. I love Devil May Cry, but the metal techno music was annoying
Matt @ Oct 22nd 2009 3:44AM
They shoulda just got some brutal Norwegian Black Metal to do the whole soundtrack, like Burzum hahaha.
Lookhappy @ Oct 22nd 2009 4:07AM
Hopefully it'll be more like their earlier stuff - matt's vocals have just got worse and worse with each album
Ferdasyn @ Oct 22nd 2009 7:55AM
Nice one. Love Trivium. Seen them 5 times so far, couldn't think of a better band to write a song for God of War. It's pathetic that people are judging the photo of them, it's over four years old.
Trivium's not real metal? Pathetic.
shadowhowl1900 @ Oct 22nd 2009 8:23AM
uhh, who?
Jim @ Oct 22nd 2009 9:37AM
who the hell is Trivium? They look like something off American Idol
Otsego_Undead @ Oct 22nd 2009 3:29PM
Bad. A$$. Trivium is the new Metallica, and I could't think of a better band to go hand in hand with God of War.
The instrumental Song "The Crusade" I could totally see during a epic boss battle, "A view of Burning Empires" in a cutscene, and "Pull Harder on the Strings of a Martyr" in some sort of chase scene.
Awesome cant friggin wait!
We are fire!!!
