In Memoriam: Brent Young
More sad news to share: Former Trivium bassist Brent Young has died of undisclosed causes. He was 37 years old. The news was shared on the band’s Facebook page.
“We have just been given word on the passing of one of the early members of Trivium, Brent Young,” they wrote. “We did our first USA tour and a mini European run together along with the Blue Demo and ‘Ember to Inferno’. Nothing but amazing memories. Our hearts and condolences go out to all of Brent’s family and friends. RIP Brent.”
Young was in Trivium from 2001 to 2004 and was replaced by the group’s current bassist, Paolo Gregoletto. In recent years, he had joined his former Trivium drummer Travis Smith to form BlackNova.

In his time with No Treble, Kevin has met hundreds of amazing bassists and interviewed icons like Jack Casady, Victor Wooten, Les Claypool, Marcus Miller, and more. He's a gigging bassist performing jazz in Northern Virginia and bluegrass with The Plate Scrapers up and down the East Coast. Kevin appreciates all genres of music, from R&B to metal and everything in between. Connect with Kevin on Facebook and check his performance schedule on his website.
Suck a loss at that age. Should have had many more years of personal and artistic life left. RIP.
