Greyson Nekrutman

Greyson Nekrutman (born June 13, 2002) is an American musician who is the current drummer of Brazilian heavy metal band Sepultura since 2024 and former drummer of crossover thrash band Suicidal Tendencies between 2023 and 2024.[edit]

Greyson Nekrutman commands a focused, growing sphere of attention within the global heavy metal community, though his profile remains distinct from the ubiquitous saturation enjoyed by legacy icons. As of August 2026, iFANN's Global Fame Engine has evaluated this person, but they do not currently hold a placement in the published rankings (Global Top 1,000 or a Top-100 scope list). This absence signals a career in active ascent rather than stagnation; he is building momentum through high-profile transitions between major acts like Sepultura and Trivium without yet crossing the threshold into the world's most visible tier. His audience consists primarily of dedicated metal fans who follow the lineage of these historic bands rather than a broad celebrity following. The fanbase has no formal name documented in available records. While social media platforms host vibrant discussions around his drumming, there are no organized independent campaigns, named sub-communities, or ritualized behaviors attributed solely to Nekrutman that distinguish him from the wider collective of Sepultura supporters.[edit]

Born on June 13, 2002, Greyson Nekrutman rose rapidly through the ranks of the metal scene before securing the drum throne for Brazilian legends Sepultura in early 2024. His tenure is marked by a unique professional pivot in October 2025 when he was announced as the new drummer for American thrash band Trivium, replacing Alex Bent. This move sparked immediate speculation regarding his future with Sepultura, prompting both groups to issue clarifying statements that confirmed Nekrutman would temporarily fill the role at Trivium before returning to lead Sepultura's rhythm section for their scheduled "Farewell Tour" in 2026. Nekrutman described accepting the opportunity to join Sepultura for this final cycle as an effortless decision, citing the band's immense legacy as the deciding factor. Despite his rapid ascent to playing for such a historically significant group, his time with the lineup remains defined by professional milestones rather than viral folklore or extraordinary crowd reactions. No documented incidents exist of fans shutting down streets or staging spontaneous celebrations specifically for his performances. The narrative surrounding him is one of steady integration into the metal pantheon, focusing on establishing his place within the lineup rather than generating standalone legendary anecdotes.[edit]
