Florida metal titans Trivium<\/strong> have officially parted ways with drummer Alex Bent<\/strong>, ending a nine-year run that saw the band release some of their most acclaimed modern records.<\/p>\n In a statement shared via Trivium<\/strong>‘s official social media today (October 3), Bent<\/strong> confirmed his departure: “I am beyond grateful for the incredible past nine years with Trivium<\/strong> \u2014 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<\/strong> will continue to dominate the world; they’ll always have my support.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n Trivium<\/strong> have yet to announce a replacement behind the kit. Bent<\/strong>, who joined the band in 2016, played on The Sin and the Sentence<\/em>, What the Dead Men Say<\/em>, and In the Court of the Dragon<\/em> \u2014 records widely hailed for their mix of technical ferocity and soaring hooks. Trivium<\/strong> are scheduled to play Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, California tomorrow (October 4), though it remains unclear who will be drumming for the performance.\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Enter your information below to get a daily update with all of our headlines and receive The Orchard Metal newsletter.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\t\tWant More Metal?
