Later in 2007 the band received their first Gold Record in the UK for more than 100,000 Sales. Allmusic reviewer Johnny Loftus stated on Ascendancy, Trivium are a "ridiculously tight quartet, unleashing thrilling dual guitar passages and pummeling kick drum gallops as surely as they do melodic breaks and vicious throat screams" and Rod Smith of Decibel magazine praised "Smith’s impeccably articulated beats, bassist Paolo Gregoletto’s contained thunder, and, especially, Heafy and guitarist Corey Beaulieu’s liquid twin leads." The album was also recognized as the "Album of the Year" by Kerrang! magazine. The album debuted at #151 on the Billboard 200 and at #4 on the Top Heatseekers chart. Produced by Heafy and Jason Suecof, the album was released in March 2005. In 2004, Trivium recorded its second album, Ascendancy, in Audiohammer Studios and Morrisound Recording in Florida. They then began writing songs for their major label debut. The album Ember to Inferno managed to garner the interest of Roadrunner Records representatives, who later signed Trivium to a record deal. In 2004, Paolo Gregoletto joined as the band's bassist to replace Brent Young, before a tour with Machine Head. The band entered a studio to record its debut album, Ember to Inferno. A copy of the demo was heard by German label Lifeforce, who signed Trivium. In early 2003, Trivium went into the recording studio to record its first high-quality demo disc. After several shows at bars and local clubs, Lewter quit the band and Heafy took over his position as vocalist. Impressed with Heafy's performance, they accepted him into the band known as Trivium.

At his Lake Brantley High School talent show, frontman Matt Heafy performed a cover version of "Self Esteem" by The Offspring. Trivium has stated that in general they are influenced by musical groups such as Metallica, Machine Head, and Iron Maiden.
