Venom Inc.

Emerging in the United Kingdom in 2015, Venom Inc. initially brought together Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan, Jeff “Mantas” Dunn and Antony “Abaddon” Bray — three musicians tied to Venom’s history — as a continuation of M-Pire of Evil and the lineup active between 1989 and 1992. The project quickly took on its own identity as a heavy metal trio at the crossroads of speed, thrash and black metal, characterized by dry riffs, often fast tempos and straightforward songwriting rooted in a dark, abrasive aesthetic. After a notable return to live activity on European, American and Asian metal circuits, Venom Inc. released Avé in 2017 and There’s Only Black in 2022. The second album was the first to feature drummer Jeramie Kling, who joined in 2018 following Abaddon’s departure. Throughout tours and festivals, Venom Inc. alternated its material with a repertoire drawn from Dolan’s years in Venom and the associated classics. Since 2024, Venom Inc. has continued with Tony Dolan on vocals and bass, Curran “Beleth” Murphy on guitar and Marc “JXN” Jackson on drums.
