JAKARTA - Shocking news came from the heavy metal band from the US, Trivium. Less than a month before starting the North American tour, the drummer, Alex Bent, officially announced his resignation.

Meanwhile, this announcement was made by Bent himself through a statement uploaded on his personal social media account. He said nine years together with Trivium gave many things.

"I am very grateful for the nine extraordinary years with Trivium full of unforgettable moments, music and friendship that I will always bring," Bent wrote, citing his statement on Instagram, Sunday, October 5.

The 32-year-old drummer stated that feelings of pride are always felt in every recording and tour that is shared with the band.

"I know the Trivium will continue to dominate the world. They will always have my support," he added.

Although the round with Trivium is over, Bent insists that his musical journey has not stopped. "Even though this round is over, it is not at all the end of my path as a musician," said the drummer.

"I am enthusiastic about welcoming this new chapter, and I hope to continue to create, perform, and share music in new ways," he added.

He also did not forget to thank all those who have supported him, because their encouragement was very meaningful.

Trivium itself responded to Bent's departure by providing support. Trivium wishes @alexbentdrums success in its future business as he leaves the band."
