Доп. информация:

The Crusade is the third studio album by metal band Trivium.

According to frontman Matt Heafy, "There's 11 ridiculously technical songs. 
It's a solo insanity CD, but in a good way." Bassist Paolo Gregoletto referred 
to the album as "small" and that it doesn't "kick peoples asses right in the face.
" Before the album was released, three songs off the album were released on the 
band's MySpace – "Detonation", "Anthem (We are the Fire)", and 
"Entrance of the Conflagration". Music videos for "Entrance of the Conflagration", 
"Anthem (We are the Fire)","The Rising", "To the Rats", and "Becoming the Dragon" 
were produced and released on Roadrunner's Web site. In the United Kingdom the 
album was released on October 9, and was certified silver in for sales in excess 
of 60,000 copies. The album peaked at number 7 in the UK and at number 25 on the 
US Billboard 200. The track "Detonation" is available on the Xbox 360 release of 
the video game, Guitar Hero II as downloadable content.

The album represents a drastic change in style from their previous album, Ascendancy, 
adopting an almost Metallica-esque thrash metal sound, with Heafy using a vocal 
style similar to James Hetfield. Lyrical themes on the album include famous killings. 
"Entrance of the Conflagration" is about Andrea Yates's murder of her five children, 
"Unrepentant" is about Nazir Ahmad's's murder of his three daughters and stepdaughter, 
"Contempt Breeds Contamination" is about the death of Amadou Diallo, and 
"And Sadness Will Sear" is based upon the murder of Matthew Shepard.
