crazy how the world can work out. I saw this dude slaying w Arkaik in a hole in the wall bar back in the day (which was incredible) and now dudes playing stadiums and shit like it's nothing. Always been super stoked for your continued success Alex, you are a crazy hard worker and earned your way in the world. Cheers dude!
I first saw/heard of Alex on a Rain drum cover. I used to watch his video to learn/practice with. Then one day it was gone. Sad. THEN about an hour later it was announced he was the newest addition to TRIVIUM. BEST DAY EVER!
When they openned up for Lamb of God and Megadeath in 2021 in Boston, I went there just to witness greatness and see Alex Bent perform. I did not stay for the other bands and that was a memorable night I will never forget.
Ending their sets with this song is the perfect punctuation mark, just like it is on the album. Well, really it's more like a series of punctuation marks, something to the tune of !!!!!!...!!!...
The audio being audience perspective but the video being of Alex confused the hell out of me for a hot minute especially when it got to Matt's solo. Solid as a rock drumming, never ever disappoinnts.
Heck yeah Alex! Would love to hear your in-ear mix (including click) for any song, at some point. Just so I can be even more impressed with how tight you are and how cleanly you play! Keep up the good work. Big up from the UK!
I've always wondered which Travis Smith song was your favorite to play. When I figured out it was my favorite battle cross drummer joining trivium I knew it was going to be epic.
Trust me, nobody wanted to be sitting. When the venue got moved, tonnes of people got allocated them with no opportunity to switch, even if they had previously bought standing.
