Trivium Drummer To Sit Out Tour

Florida metallers Trivium have issued the following update:

"We have a bit of news to announce as we gear up to start the second leg of our headline North American 'Shogun' tour 'Into The Mouth Of Hell'.

"Travis Smith [drums] will not be joining us on this leg and is home taking care of some personal business. Filling in on drums for the tour will be south Florida's Nick Augusto. Nick is a former Trivium drum tech and is a member of the band Maruta (Willowtip Records)."

For a list of dates, go to this location.

Trivium recently finished writing and recording a new song for God of War III, the next installment in the God of War series, currently in development for the PlayStation 3. The game was announced at E3 2008 and is due for release in March 2010. It is the fifth chapter in the series chronologically, after God of War: Chains of Olympu, God of War, God of War: Betrayal and God of War II.

Trivium's participation in the game was revealed on October 20 during guitarist/vocalist Matt Heafy's interview with Kidd Christoff of Baltimore's 98Rock radio station.

Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

im not a huge fan but i know a few guys that would go to see them just for the drummer so kinda sucks for whoever has tickets. love god of war though not too sure how much of a place metal has on the game though i like the classical orchestral stuff better tbh but i guess it could work well.

Who else thinks this was just a way to advertise the new God Of War?

Sounds like he's going to quit the band. This just seems like the kind of thing that happens prebreak-up

Well the band Job for a Cowboy if you're familiar with them, had recently cancelled the rest of the tour that they were doing with Lamb of God and GWAR because they were "at home dealing with personal business" and my first thought was that they're gonna have a line-up change but now they're back on the tour after everything settled so maybe Trivium will be the same after Travis gets his shit together
