| Release Date: March 15, 2005 on Roadrunner Records |
Trivium along with their label, Roadrunner release "Ascendancy " on March 15 of this year. Hailing from Orlando Florida this heavy, yet melodic band releases their own kind of Metal sound that is unique in nature when compared to other metal acts.
