Drummer Jeramie Kling has left Venom Inc. after serving as their drummer from 2018 to 2023, replacing original sticksman Abbadon. Venom Inc. features for Venom members, Demolition Man and Mantas. No replacement for Kling has been announced by Venom Inc. yet. Kling has cited “logistical reasons” as the reason for his departure.
Kling states:
“This has been an incredible journey that has taken me around the world! I have seen countries I had never been too, met wonderful friends and had a blast doing it!
I am proud of what we created on “There’s Only Black” as well as the countless shows we have played over the years. Very special thanks to all of the Venom fans that have accepted and welcomed me into the legacy. I will forever cherish your support.”
Kling first appeared on Venom Inc.’s second record, There’s Only Black, released in 2022. He’s a member of bands FORE, Ribspreader, Goregäng, and Necromancing The Stone. He was briefly affiliated with Massacre, which led to the formation of his own death metal band, Inhuman Condition, featuring Terry Butler (ex-Death) and Taylor Nordberg. Kling was also a founding member of The Absence, having played on four of their albums. In addition to being a drummer, Kling is also a recording engineer, producer, and live sound engineer.
