Post Reply - Trivium compared to Mastodon

My best friends listen to Trivium a lot and frankly I don't get the incredible hype they get. To me it's generic metalcore riff after generic metalcore riff with a vocalist trying to imitate James Hetfield while still sounding like your average whining metalcore vocalist. I will give them credit for avoiding breakdown-itis for the most part that plagues the metalcore scene all too much.
