Trivium - The Making Of: The Sin And The Sentence (Ep. 1)

[@godhemusic]

I'm pretty sure the band will be able to survive with that beast behind the kit. #keepalex

[@swiat_wg_igora]

Godhe we will see...

[@LarsUlrichIsMe]

They already said straight from the get go this guy was only a fill in, Although it does look like they may have changed their mind. Still, with Trivium anything could happen.

[@tivus]

LarsUlrichIsMe more than 100 shows and he's still going , I hope they will keep him

[@neonblack211]

They would be really silly to let him go TBH, the very first thing I noticed on these albums was how badass the drumming was

[@surfingthedarkness]

How right you were

[@caden0622]

Alex was fired 10 minutes after this interview. When asked, Matt Heafy quoted, "DON'T GET ATTACHED TO OUR DRUMMER. The fans need to understand that."

[@user-fj6yi5cw9y]

"WHAT PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND..."

[@xXAscendingPhoenixXx]

You people get offended easily huh?

[@caden0622]

What do you mean YOU people? LOL

[@user-fj6yi5cw9y]

xXAscendingPhoenixXx it's a joke you nard

[@flyingshadow69]

I think he was just making a joke. Or did his joke offend you?

[@zachsmithey6894]

1:03 Matt and Corey are back there like “You’ve passed the 1st test, but we shall see... we shall see.”

[@mikieb77]

That’s what I was thinking too😂😂

[@matheworr7504]

Alex seems like such a good dude, very professional and super humble. Fingers crossed he can find a home in Trivium!

[@TomK6505]

3 years on, he's still here and is still cool!

[@xanniieeyy]

3rd album with Alex and now they already talk about the 11th :) seems like tge future for Alex is really bright and now he's officially a part of the Triv fams 👌🏻

[@matheworr7504]

@@xanniieeyy Stoked! Loving their new album!

[@surfingthedarkness]

He is indeed home ❤

[@MetalBreakdown]

First of all, A7x found their new beast behind the kit: Brooks Wackerman! Then Trivium did the same with Alex Bent! Wow can't fucking wait for the new album!

[@alonsoperez461]

I can tell you that he will be out of the band a few time after the new release, if Trivium doesn't change drummers they wouldn't be Trivium

[@bananapiece]

They didnt change drummer for the first 9 years, werent they trivium back then?

[@philsmith3019]

Speakin of Brooks, love how Paolos rockin the Bad Religion shirt, two of my all time fav bands inconsequencially linked haha.

[@MetalBreakdown]

Loren P => First of all, I'm pretty sure a lot of people care about A7X... Matt Heafy himself cares a lot about them since M Shadows is the one that helped him recover his voice after he blew it out (He is talking about it in the interview he did with Alternative Press in August 2016)... So the reason you still have a new album coming out in October is in some part because of A7X. Corey Beaulieu even said that he would love to tour with A7x (Interview he did with Music Feed in March 2016) so stop with your non sense.

[@raginghobbit3018]

[@citizenerased174]

Best drummer since Travis in my opinion. I dont know why people used to hate on him. He was a beast drummer for Trivium and fit their style perfectly.

[@dannyc.2571]

Krondo 17 I feel very much the same. I have appreciated and respected the strengths of each drummer, but I feel Alex brings a certain energy that I feel has been lacking since Travis.

[@splatbats]

Krondo 17 Travis was pretty sloppy live towards the end of his tenure with the band

[@ancientmariner6042]

EQ-smoove haha they wish

[@TheRozzleNozzle]

Sorry dude but, Travis is no where near on the level of Alex

[@alexanderhegelund1905]

Francesco Paoli is an amazing drummer, but if you think that's the only proper way to play (or that there is such a thing), you're incredibly ignorant when it comes to drumming. Probably just ignorant in general, if you see X and reply that it's shit because it's not Y.

[@metfan4l]

I'm gonna listen the shit out of this album next month I can already tell.

[@gasoline4605]

metfan4l good to see you here, I'm super excited

[@benhemsworth8555]

Oh man, I guess you really did. Did it exceed your expectations?

[@herbivore7108]

Fuck yeah, so proud of you Alex. I remember back in 2006 when we were all kids chilling at Rob's house listening to you guys practice for TSOM, we all knew back then how much of a bad ass drummer you were. Props man, living the dream

[@queensinthesky]

I'm still quite put out by the turnover rate of drummers, but I'm really glad how open and forthright the band is being about their perspective on the issue. Matt is being brutally honest and it's refreshing to hear Paolo say "we thought maybe this time it'd actually work out with this guy". They're not acting like it's all 100% perfect and how it's supposed to be but they're making the best of it. Alex is fantastic anyway and seems chill so hopefully he'll settle and be able to stick around for a long time.

[@rocknrolloutlaw7261]

Daniel Murphy Just remember this....Its all about the money....once the new member realizes that hes pretty much touring "help" and he doesn't get anything off the merch, ticket sales. Hes set on a shitty salary...and that's about it. Once he starts getting a name for himself, they abandon him like a adolescent stray cat!!!!

[@Darkdayzz]

What's kinda bullshit here is that Matt says: "Me, Corey and Paolo are Trivium" While nowadays the guy claims the audience is Trivium. I get perspectives change, but ... it rubbed me the wrong way.

[@mr.sidecomments9278]

I don't think "stick around for a long time" is enough. I hope Alex stays "until the end"

[@queensinthesky]

@@Darkdayzz Yeah I felt that was a bit disrespectful to what Travis contributed to the band's early sound. Even if he didn't write a single riff or harmony or lyric, his drum parts are honestly legendary to me at least. Pull Harder intro, countless parts off Shogun, iconic parts of Trivium's sound.

[@valentino0343]

@@queensinthesky not to mention he was the one who threw matt to be the vocalist and was technically the founding member of the band :/ even if they left on shitty terms he still is technically a part of trivium wether they like it or not

[@joshuasalgado4694]

This guy is hands down the best drummer trivium has had. I hope he sticks.

[@l1nk987]

So glad they acknowledged Travis's work in the first few albums at around 4:06

[@gui.andrademeira]

That moment when you squeeze the earphone in your ear and try to extract every single part from the new songs.

[@MrTrackday1]

I'm most excited for the riffs at 0:40. Fast and head banging worthy.

With Alex, it's his hands too! The boy is fast as shit, and makes everything he plays look like he's been playing it forever. He's one of those people who just "has it".

[@DanyTheWarrior100]

Saw Trivium with this guy live a couple days ago. This current constellation blew my mind and was the best live experience in my life! Thank you for that! And btw: The two new songs are amazing! Keep it up. Greetings from Germany :)

[@plaguebearermetal]

I'm glad they finally said Travis is a beast, because he was fucking awesome. IMO he had so much more in terms of a unique drumming style than anyone else Trivium have had up until this point.

[@dannyc.2571]

Michael Reynolds I will always miss his drumming. Truly good work.

[@rudy4626]

Lovin Corey and Matt listening to classical music in the background. Been a Trivium fan since the beginning and will be till the end of me!💯🎸 SO STOKED!

I understand Trivium is just Paolo, Matt and Corey but you need to realize talent is in front of your faces with Alex Bent. This guy rips and I'm happy to have him on a Trivium album. I can't wait.

[@seanpulatie4951]

I've been listening to metal for twenty years. Alex is by far one of the best drummers I've ever heard. I'm stoked to see just how far he can take this.

That song at the end sounds so sick!

[@LoneWolf14981]

Marvin Blue Its me or that riff is not on the album?

[@bloogalooga]

Maybe it'll be on a Special Edition of the album, I don't recall it on the album either, unless it's just covered up by vocals.

[@samuelvela2708]

I think that riff at the end is the backing track for the solo section of Betrayer. I could be wrong, though

[@LoneWolf14981]

Now we know that song is Drowning in the sound

After hearing the drums on the new album I just had to google “trivium drummer”. Glad this vid came up and I’m honestly just blown away by this dude

Alex is a master! I love Trivium's music and I listened and enjoyed every album! Even so, first time I heard The sin and the sentence, i got shocked at the very first seconds because of the drumming! really hope they''ll keep alex! See you in november guys! big love from montreal Canada!

Alex is phenomenal. This is honestly the first trivium record I love front to back,and I credit to his playing. I took a few lessons with him a few years ago,and he's an absolute monster player.

[@MisterBolticus]

This is really starting to feel like the best time to be a Trivium fan since Shogun, everything about this album has my excitement levels through the roof... Especially Alex, finally a drummer that has the technicality and measure on par if not superior to Travis, able to compliment everyone else's musicianship perfectly. And Matt, stay safe out there in Florida dude! \../

[@hewhomustnotbenamed2470]

The studio sessions already sound legit, excited for this!

[@YourAnimeOtaku]

Alex has amazing talent. He understands trivium and even beyond what it should be and its taking it to a whole new level. Every other drummer in Trivium in the past had great history and skill levels, but personally, i would definately keep alex due to his skill level, understanding, easily able to do a trivium song in 1 to 2 takes, able to play 15 songs in a week, he is amazing. He even planned on what type of beats he wanted to do without hesitation for their songs. He thought ahead and he is really outstanding. Keep him in and make trivium better. I cant wait for the new album. #thesinandthesentence2017

[@ghanimerciles1029]

very good choice guys we are waiting the ALbum here in Algeria yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@Calibur43]

Travis Smith was the bedrock of my influence as a drummer and musician growing up, I think Alex is the next chapter for the first real time in Trivium in 9+ years where that might happen again. There is something about the drumming on Shogun that will never be touched, unique drummers aren't just "around," keep Alex Bent.

[@sickjoystick6]

Yhea i love dis people because they look like they where my group of friends, just like people that exactly share youre aspirations, lifestyle, and ways of seeing life. Matt and Alex just changed my hole life, they make me be who i am a little bit more

Alex is the best thing that has happened to Trivium since Travis.

[@guitarist4life00]

STOKED FOR THIS ALBUM

[@prestonspicer]

It suddenly makes so much sense. They want a drummer who shares their vision of the band and that has the grit to make it happen. As a fan, it's been rough to see them have so much trouble, but it seems to be leading in the right direction. Hats off to the band, and I can't wait to hear the new record.

[@IndieActFilms]

No offence I've never heard of this drummer... but dam.... he is so good! About 15 seconds into the sin and I was mind blown... I haven't heard a drummer like him before. Perfect fit.

[@TonyNguyenFR]

Drummers have got it rough man. Next to vocals, I would say that it is the most criticized aspect of metal music. People expect them to be perfect live. I'm not a drummer, but it sure seems hard. Good on you Alex. You're a beast dude.
