A couple of years ago they made a statement trivium has parted ways with Alex and I left a very long angry message...turns out it was April fools day and I had to delete it 😆 🤣...I was so mad 😆 🤣
5:24 to the end is just perfect, the build up, the technique, the guitars, vocals and lyrics all work so well together. What’s more amazing is that Alex is doing his thing as if he’s reading the morning news paper and playing so effortlessly while I’m in my living room resisting the urge to flip the coffee table and bounce off the walls. Flawless as always
He's among my Big 4 of drummers. Danny Carey - the guy is an octopus Neal Peart - nothing even needs to be said here Austin Archey - that man beats those drums like they owe him money Alex Bent - this guy has taken Trivium, a long time favorite of mine, and elevated them to a whole new level, Trivium has always been a damn good band, but their last 3 albums are cemented as some of the most amazingly badass metal out there, I'd hold these records next to Reign In Blood, Master of Puppets, Far Beyond Driven, Rust in Peace. On a personal note - Alex, I missed the hell out of these playthroughs, you did the entire album for TSATS, but I didn't see them for WTDMS or ITCOTD, this is the first one I've seen, if you have time, please post the rest whenever you get a chance, you can see the talent from listening, but actually watching you work like this is mind-melting.
I can't say that Alex is my favorite as I have so many I hold in very high regard but I can say that he's right there at the top with all of them! What a phenomenal drummer/percussionist! Truly amazing! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Just perfect!! Since 2017 Trivium's got a glow up and part of it is thanks to Alex Bent, but also I love the job they do together Paolo, Corey and Matt hail Trivium 🤘🏽
Trivium early years - "Damn this drummer is pretty sick" - Middle years - "This guy is pretty freakin good too!" - Now - "What in the absolute fuck? Alex elevated this band from legendary to gods......"
Alex and heafy Have made this band literally imo the best band in the world.... as far as I'm concerned there is not a band who can touch them, even old trivium was amazing to hear but these guys have really given trivium such an amazing new sound!!!... it's like the harmony has progressed so far forward even bands like IN Flames and gojira still can't touch these guys now.... although I do think IN FLAMES new album foregone is a new start into a future of music as fantastic as Trivium!!!!!....
Another awesome video. Can you please at some point do a drum cover of my favourite song off this album No Way Back Just Through, and I would also love to see you showcase how you would play songs like Caustic are the Ties that Bind, Black, Watch The World Burn, In Waves, and Built to Fall. Keep up the amazing work .
@@punxsutawneyphil3944They are both very good extreme metal drummers. Eloy is more of traditional grove drumming thrash metal drummer while Alex has more progressive Hogland Richard-Christy flavor. Both Kick ass
Is that some kind of swivel technique that he does from 6:25 to the end?(Edited Yes it's knee swivel technique I'm just going to call it that I don't think it's thing but it is now!)
I’ve been following this dude since his time in Arkaik. I saw them open for Cannibal back in like 2012. Alex was such a beast back then. I wish he’d get back into technical death metal!!
@@judgeshred66 nice one dude! That was 2006 with God forbid! I saw that one in Manchester, God forbid was incredible and always underrated👌 hope your well my man
Saw then at the Philmont in NC on Halloween 2022. Awesome show. Tight as usually. Amazing band they were the headliner. Would definitely see them again for sure
In Alex, Trivium found a guy who was just as incredible on the drums as they are on their instruments. Absolute powerhouse drummer. Alex plays like he's a part of the kit. And I mean that with no disrespect to the previous drummers. Congrats again on the Tama endorsement. 👏🏼
Trivium Setlist Challenge 1/2 personal favourite songs from each album I’ll go first Ember / Pillars Declaration / Suffocating Sight Rats / Anthem Shogun / Hell Caustic / Inception The End is Nigh / To Believe Blind / Rise Above the Tides Thrown / Sin Defiant / The Ones Left Behind Phalanx / Damocles Encore
I love how apart from playing on a level many drummers can only dream of he does it with zero showing off/useless tricks and movements... Frankly he looks as if he is bored doing it 😄
This was sick! I really love this videos, hope Alex keeps making them. I kept waiting for some songs from WtDMS but at least we are getting some from Court of the Dragon.
Best thing to happen to Trivium.
The chosen one
Agree
@@alyssonerlandsson the ice cream one
He completes them

I don't know anything about drums, but Alex's drum playthroughs are so incredibly fascinating. I can't stop watching them. :D
How has Alex Bent not been on Drumeo yet??
Imagine the perfection when they give him a song he's never heard with a drumless track 🥵🥵🥵
I want Trivium played at my funeral. BEST. BAND. EVER.
Same here
❤❤❤❤
Killswitch Engage with Howard Jones. Fight me bro, I will die on this hill. 😤
I'll see what I can do, when would you like the funeral?
@@Hollyucinogen Trivium and Killswitch are 1 and 2 for me 🤘

Alex looks so in the zone when he's playing. So relaxed and focused, completely in his element. Absolutely sublime to watch.
Bro used to play for Arkaik, Brain drill heheh this is an easy gig for him
Alex Bent is a freaking beast on the drums!!!! I’ve been a fan of his drumming since he first joined Trivium!!!
ive been a fan since arkaik haha
and touring with decrepit birth of course
@@TheSadistNat1ondude I saw him live with them opening for Cannibal in like 2012. I totally wish he’d get back into technical death metal!!!
A true legend! He became one of my biggest influences along with Gene Hoglan, Dave Lombardo, Nick Menza (RIP) and many others! A beast of drums! 😈🤘🏽🥁
He's among my Big 4 of drummers.
Danny Carey - the guy is an octopus
Neal Peart - nothing even needs to be said here

Could I mention Sebastian Abildsten of BAEST if you haven't seen him play..... enjoy ua-cam.com/video/XvLK5vr_bz0/v-deo.html
The Phalanx is my favourite Trivium song, I saw them last year and they didn't play it so I'm really glad to see a live drum playthrough.
The part that starts at 3:16 blows my mind literally every time. Absolutely amazing!
How the fuck does Alex make it look so god damn easy, the timing, consistency and intricate techniques are next level 😮
Alex, you will forever be one of our generation’s greatest drummers in my opinion. You’re my hero, dude!
I’ve loved the past drummers of the band but Alex is by far my top favorite drummer for trivium! One of the greatest bands out there!
Mesmerizing and delicately mind-boggling. Super song, great drummer.
Just absolutely amazing!!! Incredible and the best band on the planet!
Alex is so mesmerizing to watch to playthroughs. Amazing.
One of my favorite songs. Absolutely epic. Alex is a monster.
I think this is the first time I can *feel* a drum line in modern metal. Thank you, Alex.
I can't say that Alex is my favorite as I have so many I hold in very high regard but I can say that he's right there at the top with all of them! What a phenomenal drummer/percussionist! Truly amazing!
🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼
Well done Alex, i was shocked when you didn't get drummer of the year. What a masterpiece
Just perfect!! Since 2017 Trivium's got a glow up and part of it is thanks to Alex Bent, but also I love the job they do together Paolo, Corey and Matt hail Trivium 🤘🏽
Absolute monster that makes this looks so effortless it’s just sick in the best way possible 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻🔥
My favorite drummer of all time!
I didn't appreciate how good the finish to the song was until you see it live. Phenomenal.
I really enjoy watching these playthroughs. Trivium's songs are definitely on my wedding playlist.
Watching This is just a treat. How smooth and effortless he makes this look. So calm an serene. Like just amazes me.
Alex and Mario (Gojira), most interesting drummers in metal imo
They are my foavorite but + sean reinert gene hoglan thomas heake

Yes KORN! This song is heavy! But don't compete against korn !
At least korn kept the band original we even had joey jordison step in when David the drummer had to take time away 🤟🖤
@jakewilshire2137 I'm a korn fan don't get me wrong but literally trivium has been better then korn since trivium was created!!!
A True Master At His Craft! All Hail!
I honestly started to tear up….. AMAZING!
Trivium are on top of their game since Alex joined 🔥 🐲🤘🏻
I don't even play drums and I love these videos!
never let him out of the band! dont even think about it!! musical genious!
The best band 🖤🤘🏻
THIS IS THE GUY WE WANT IN OUR BAND.........BIG INFLUENCE
Alex does it again. He never ceases to amaze.

Alex : I want 9
Sales Assistant : size 9?
Alex : no, 9 pairs of Nike Cortez pls...
this guy is the diamond in the rough. what an absolutely insane drummer
Alex is a beast. I can't name better thrash metal drummer
Eloy. Sorry. 😅
@@punxsutawneyphil3944They are both very good extreme metal drummers. Eloy is more of traditional grove drumming thrash metal drummer while Alex has more progressive Hogland Richard-Christy flavor. Both Kick ass

Amazing Alex. What an honor to watch...
Alex, !un maestro en la batería!.
Shit is unreal man hands down these guys are amazing. Alex is a beast.
I’ve been following this dude since his time in Arkaik. I saw them open for Cannibal back in like 2012. Alex was such a beast back then. I wish he’d get back into technical death metal!!
rhythm in your vein! keep on going!
Alex is amazing, we all know this. But I’m freaking out about this backing mix, Paolo and Matt sound WAY better here than on the album.
Alex, the best! So much creativity!
Yeah that was beautiful ! So clean and creatively brilliant ! What an amazing drummer
A beast with his eyes closed. Absolutely the MAN 👏
Just MASTERPIECE, as always... Love from Turkey!!!!
I swear to God Alex is the best drummer in the world!!!!
Such a underapreciated drumer, Alex has one hell of a Groove! Brazil when? haha
How dare you be so good at life. My 1st gig 2005 ascendancy tour in Wolverhampton UK, anyone else there?
I was at Exeter, same tour though I think? God Forbid supporting?
@@judgeshred66 nice one dude! That was 2006 with God forbid! I saw that one in Manchester, God forbid was incredible and always underrated👌 hope your well my man
Ah yeah I forgot the year! Great gig though. Agreed God Forbid were great.
Dude is so good
Such a bad ass kit perfection at best!
Stunning talent epic song brilliant my man 👏👏👏🤜🤛
Saw then at the Philmont in NC on Halloween 2022. Awesome show. Tight as usually. Amazing band they were the headliner. Would definitely see them again for sure
I took this song after hearing it as one of the easier drum tracks on the album...oh how I was wrong...holy shit Alex...this dude is insane!!!
Mr. Bent doing it beastmode!🤘
Oooof! Around the half-way mark, the drums get reeeeeeeeally interesting! Nice.... 🤘🙂👍
Such a great drummer! 🔥
For me, this is what artful metal drumming is all about - so tasty and awesome!
I enjoy watching this professional percussionist kick some major ass🤘🪖🪖🔥🥁🥁🪖🪖
Alex’s cymbal work is insane!
I cant play drum, but see alex play drum so awesome and make me want to play it although never know how long for me to play like alex 😂
You should do some covers off of shogun or ascendency
I'd like to see him add some of his personal spice to the classics
That little shuffle beat at 4:56 was interesting!! I didn't even realize he was playing that beat!! That's so sick!!
Keep these videos coming!!! I want to see drum playthroughs from, "What the Dead Men Say" and other albums too!
You need to do an appearance/collab with Drumeo!
In Alex, Trivium found a guy who was just as incredible on the drums as they are on their instruments. Absolute powerhouse drummer.
Alex plays like he's a part of the kit. And I mean that with no disrespect to the previous drummers. Congrats again on the Tama endorsement. 👏🏼
Que grande pelao Trivium!!!
Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱
So this is where they have been uploading these playthroughs. At first it was on Alex's channel and now it's Trivium's. I wonder what happened.

Fantastic, Alex Bent 👏🤟
I love how apart from playing on a level many drummers can only dream of he does it with zero showing off/useless tricks and movements... Frankly he looks as if he is bored doing it 😄
Very thoughtful work
Please never lose him🙏
He's the calmest looking drummer I've ever seen. But his wife throws in crazy shit while he's working at Home...so fun!
Creative! Dude’s not afraid to try some funky shit, works great
THE GREATEST DRUMER IN THE WORLD
This was sick! I really love this videos, hope Alex keeps making them. I kept waiting for some songs from WtDMS but at least we are getting some from Court of the Dragon.
