Trivium – Silence In The Snow [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

A winter classic where the ferocity and beauty of heavy metal merge.

It’s the title track from Trivium’s album “Silence in the Snow,” released in October 2015, and it stands as a symbol of the band’s musical evolution.

By setting aside their usual screams and emphasizing clean vocals, the song takes on a melodious quality that evokes classic metal influences.

The lyrics blend beauty and coldness—symbolizing the silence and solemnity of snow—while exploring themes of inner struggle and self-overcoming.

Its dynamic, epic melodies make it perfect for listening while gazing at a snowy landscape.

It’s a powerful track that inspires the courage to face adversity.

Cold Rain And SnowGrateful Dead

Grateful Dead – Cold Rain And Snow (Orchard Park, NY 7/4/89) (Official Live Video)

While the Grateful Dead—central figures of hippie culture—are often associated with songs that evoke summer sunlight and open wilderness, they actually left behind many works that use motifs like rain and snow.

The snow described in this song is both literal and, at the same time, some kind of metaphor for a painful marital relationship.

It’s closer to the world of enka: snow as a cold, harsh landscape that torments the protagonist.

Rain and snow used as tragic stage props are usually paired with words like “cold” or “cool,” so try to keep that nuance in mind as you listen to the performance and the melody of the vocals.
