Ember to Inferno

This album is the final release by the band with former bassist Brent Young. Frontman Matt Heafy was 17 years old when the album was written and recorded.

Corey Beaulieu toured in support of the album, but did not play on the album according to the re-release booklet.

The 2004 reissue of the album includes early versions of "The Deceived" and "Blinding Tears Will Break the Skies". Both songs were re-recorded for Ascendancy, with the latter appearing only on the 2006 special edition. "Demon" is taken from the Trivium "blue demo" EP.

"Inception the Bleeding Skies" is "A View of Burning Empires" played in reverse.

On December 2, 2014 it was announced by Matt Heafy on Twitter that Ember to Inferno will be re-released again with new artwork along with the band's early demo EPs.^[1] The re-release was officially revealed on 14 October 2016, via Trivium's Facebook page. It is currently scheduled to be released on 2 December 2016, two years after the initial announcement by Heafy. The Re-Release is dubbed: "Ab Initio", Latin for "In The Beginning".
