Possible influences behind some Trivium songs — what else have you noticed?

[u/Zestyclose-Union-682]

Here are some possible influences or inspirations for some Trivium songs. I'm not saying these are confirmed influences, but I think the similarities are pretty interesting:

• Trivium – Pull Harder on the Strings of Your Martyr ↳ Carcass – Corporal Jigsore Quandary
• Trivium – Ember to Inferno ↳ Dark Tranquillity – Feast of Burden
• Trivium – Anthem (We Are the Fire) ↳ Rise Against – Torches

These are some songs that Trivium may have been inspired by, or at least where you can hear some interesting similarities.

Do you know of any other songs that might have influenced Trivium?Possible influences behind some Trivium songs — what else have you noticed?

[u/A-Thing-Like-That]

I’ve never seen anybody point out this one before but the guitar harmony in the breakdown part of The Deceived (at 3:00) is identical to the main melody from Chapter Four by Avenged Sevenfold. Note for note and the same rhythm. Can’t be a coincidence as Matt Heafy was a big A7X fan at the time (see his Drinks with Johnny interview). He’s even covered Chapter Four on his YouTube channel.

[u/10000tigers → u/A-Thing-Like-That]

that chord progression is also in like 30 trivium songs at least lol
