Drummer Alex Bent has parted ways with Trivium after nine years – and just hours before they were due to perform at Aftershock Festival in California. I’m so proud of every record and tour we created together, and I know Trivium will continue to dominate the world. I’m excited for this new chapter, and I look forward to continuing to create, perform, and share music in new ways. Trivium frontman Matt Heafy replied to the post, saying: "Wishing you and your family nothing but the best." Trivium are due to launch their 32-date Struck Dead Tour with Jinjer and Heriot on October 31.
