Nick Augusto has replaced Travis Smith as Trivium drummer.
The band have already put the new boy´s skills to the test by recording a couple of new tracks - ‘Shattering The Skies Above´ and a cover of Sepultura´s ‘Slave New World´.
Trivium frontman Matt Heafy was full of good words about the new recruit.
He beamed: “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.”
Augusto filled in for Smith during the band´s Into The Mouth Of Hell We Tour worldwide jaunt.
Smith had been behind Trivium´s breathtaking drum sound since their 1999 inception.
