Scott's Metal Track of the Day - Thrown Into the Fire by Trivium

Forgive them Father, for they not know!

Now THIS is the Trivium I fell in love with and never thought I would hear again. After Matt blew his voice out a few years back he had to switch to all clean vocals. It just wasn't the same. It was missing that edge, that heaviness that you could feel when it kicked you in the gut. This is the closing track off of their album The Sin and the Sentence which just came out last week and boy is it a doozy. The whole album is great but this track is one of the best I've ever heard from them. It destroys \m/

This is Thrown Into the Fire

Be careful, I'm pretty sure they hit the infamous brown note in the intro.
