The former Trivium drummer, Paul Wandtke, reflects on his time with the band, sharing a controversial story that has left him with a memorable experience. In a recent social media post, Wandtke reveals the band's attempt to steal his drum set and their refusal to provide a requested monetary bonus. He also mentions being asked to sign a non-disclosure agreement, which he politely declined due to his belief in freedom of speech.
Wandtke joined Trivium in 2015 but left a year later, citing challenges with his double bass playing, which gradually worsened due to the demanding touring schedule. He expresses his love for singing grunge-inspired music with his projects, Dead Original, and hopes for a resurgence of grunge in America and worldwide.
Despite the challenges, Wandtke fondly remembers his time with the band, praising the band members' coolness and camaraderie. He wishes the band members the best and encourages fans to stay metal, leaving a lasting impression of his unique journey in the metal music scene.
