Oh god yes. I can't wait to hear that 8-10 minute instrumental. Hell. I can't wait to hear that whole thing. This'll be that one album that truely makes Trivium, proving if they're here to stay or not.
Sounds awesome...and long I dunno if they can beat Ascendancy though, I'd be surprised if they could even match it...
The only downside to this album is that critics are going to claim they're copying off Avenged Sevenfold by way of vocals. Heafy said there were going to be less brutal vocals and more Hetfield-esque vocals. That's more or less the same direction Avenged took, so critics are going to say they're doing that because they want to tailor to the mainstream.
