About Trivium

Ember to Inferno

Thrash metal quartet Trivium are one of the youngest, and undoubtedly most promising metal acts of the modern day scene. It was not by mere luck, but by the constant struggle of the members of the band to bring fresh meat to the hungry metalheads.

The American band formed about 2000 in Florida. However, the true story of the band begins when, in early 2003, Trivium went into the recording studio to record their first high-quality demo disc (self-financed). A copy of the demo was heard by German label Lifeforce Records, who signed Trivium. Then, the band entered a studio to record their debut album, "Ember to Inferno."
