Trivium

Nick Augusto, Trivium’s ex drum tech, has been revealed as the replacement for the band’s ex-drummer Travis Smith.

In a recent statement on their website through lead vocalist Matt Heafy, the band have said, “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.”

Smith left Trivium officially on 4th February this year, sighting the need to spend more time with his wife and family.
