TRIVIUM drummer Alex Bent has announced that he is leaving the band, sharing the following statement via social media:

“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.”

TRIVIUM recently announced the release of their forthcoming, three-song EP, “Struck Dead”. It arrives on October 31 via longtime label Roadrunner Records.
