Trivium have officially confirmed that Alex Bent (Dragonlord, ex-Battlecross, etc.) will be handling the drumming duties on their European/UK tour. It is unknown if his role in the band is permanent. Bassist Paolo Gregoletto said the following:
“So as to who is playing for us in the UK/EU… Alex sent us this video two days after being put in touch with him. We also had a few weeks of rehearsal together in November. 💯”

This news comes after Matt Heafy previously revealed that the group’s last three drummers were just “session” members.
