After months of uncertainty it’s now official, Trivium have parted ways with long time drummer Travis Smith. His permanent replacement Nick Augusto was announced today. Augusto has been filling in for Smith on Trivium’s recent US tour and recorded 2 new tracks including ‘Shattering The Skies Above’ with the band.
Matt Heafy, vocalist and guitarist commented: “We’re really happy to have our good friend and fellow Floridian Nick Augusto join the Trivium family. Nick’s drumming is very technical and diverse and he brings a real intense energy to the band and we can’t wait for everyone to hear the new song, ‘Shattering the Skies Above,” that we just recorded with Nick. I think it’s the best Trivium recording we’ve ever done; it’s raw, full of energy and I think Nick’s drumming really pushed us to a new level.”
Travis “temporarily” left the band during the US tour for reasons still wholly unexplained which led to much speculation about his future in Trivium. Now, those rumours are cast aside as the new line up embarks on a European tour next month and recording a new record.
