The Trivium Retrospective: Episode 2 - Ascendancy - Renegade Jukebox #52

March 15, 2025 by Michael Kaye in Music, Renegade Jukebox

Today’s new Jukebox episode is a special one guys, Ascendancy by Trivium is 20 years old now. As horrifying a fact as that is, Nick & Mike as part of their Trivium retrospective decided to give it the full podcast treatment. And the only spoiler we’ll give? It holds up spectacularly well! Listen to it and help us celebrate one of the best metal albums ever made.

Samples used: "The End of Everything," "Ascendancy," "Like Light to the Flies" "Rocky Theme"

What’s going on, everyone? This is your Captain speaking, alongside my esteemed co-host, the Super Saiyan Death Metal God! Today is officially the 20th anniversary of this album’s release, and it is the very reason we chose to cover the band’s entire discography in 2025. Without any further ado, please tune into the podcast, and join us in celebrating this incredible milestone!



That’ll do it for this episode! Thank you all for joining us! We have provided a link to several GoFundMe pages in support of those affected by the 2025 Wildfires in LA. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10gvOxituYvxxknoY9IQa-YEqfK8WvCjcLBcg4hsmME4/edit?pli=1&gid=0#gid=0

New decade. New rules. New Trivium, figuratively and literally. In Waves is a huge turning point in the band's catalog, one the band insisted was a necessary step to them continuing. Is the album a shower or a grower? Or would we not see what they were going for on later albums? Listen and find out.

Uh oh, Nick & Mike are entering controversial territory on this Jukebox episode. This time on The Trivium Retrospective, we look at the first Trivium album worth defending. The Crusade is a widely debated album. Is it just copying Metallica or is there legitimate merit to these songs? Or is it just people making shit up to hate on a band that got popular off a landmark classic album? Listen and find out.
