I've seen Trivett now four times with his band (The Sword) and read anything I can on him and he is fast becoming one of my favorite current living drummers.

Raised on the likes Bonham, Moon, Ward and Paice; he really has that heavy foot and pocket feel that these guys had.

On "Age of Winters" two of my favorite tracks are 'Iron Swan' and "Freya". On the newer record; "Gods of Earth", 'Maiden Mother and Crone' and 'The White Sea' are great.

He yields that triplet/shuffly feel Bonham had and is just as heavy. And the group themselves are supertight and the music just melds together, check him out if you haven't, here's a couple links to some of his stuff.

The Sword at a show I saw where they finished with Freya with a little break/jam of Zep's 'Bring It On Home' (absolutely amazing):

This is Ebethron from the first album, it has a real Bonham-esque solo midway through.

FYI, I have a short youtube video of them from Rev Hall in Troy, NY when my band played with them and Year Long Disaster a couple months ago. Check it:

Be sure to watch it in HD.

Just heard that Trivett has left The Sword. Just checked their website: www.swordofdoom.com and it's confirmed there.

The band is back in Austin, TX to regroup.

Read about this the other day. This is really too bad. They're a great band & I was looking forward to seeing them live again sometime.
