A thank you to the band for helping me through the dark stuff
Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a bit of a personal win.
I’ve been dealing with a depression diagnosis and a lot of heavy life stuff lately. For a long time, I was feeding that headspace with music that, while great for short-term validation, was honestly just keeping me stuck in a victim mindset. It felt good to be heard, but it didn't help me move.
Then I came back to Trivium, and the switch was flipped.
The sheer epicness and the complexity of the riffs demand a different kind of energy. Listening to the dual-guitar harmonies and the technicality of their songs doesn't leave room for me to feel small.
Songs like "Ascendancy", "Into the Mouth of Hell We March", "Shogun", they make me feel like a warrior, not a bitch.
And ITCOTD feels like an epic soundtrack for the gear I’m grinding through right now. The music moved me from "why is this happening" to "Bring that shit on."
Just wanted to put some appreciation out there for the band. They didn't just write some songs. They helped me change my perspective on how to handle the dark stuff.
Thank you, Trivium
