Drummer Alex Bent has decided to continue his musical career without Trivium. The band shared a post on social media, wishing him all the best for the future, while Alex added a personal message to thank fans for his time with the band and emphasize that he will continue to pursue music.
In his words:
“I am beyond grateful for the incredible past 9 years with Trivium—filled with unforgettable moments, music, and friendships that I’ll always carry with me. I’m so proud of every record and tour we created together, and I know Trivium will continue to dominate the world; they’ll always have my support. While this chapter has come to a close, this is by no means the end of my path as a musician. I’m excited for this new chapter, and I look forward to continuing to create, perform, and share music in new ways. Thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Your encouragement means the world.”
New Drummer: Greyson Nekrutman
Shortly after, Trivium shared another post introducing their new drummer. From now on, they’ll be joined by Greyson Nekrutman behind the kit, known for his time with Suicidal Tendencies and more recently with Sepultura. His own journey with Trivium now begins, and we’re excited to see what’s next — from both musicians!
