Ep 666 Venom INC has new music coming, BLS tour and more planned in 2026

Venom Inc. are entering a new chapter with a refreshed lineup, new energy, and new music in the works. This is not just about looking back at the history of Venom or replaying the past. The band is focused on what comes next.Led by Tony “Demolition Man” Dolan, Venom Inc. continue to carry the blackened, aggressive, old-school metal sound that helped define generations of extreme music. The current lineup features Tony Dolan on bass and vocals, Curran “Beleth” Murphy on guitar, and Marc “JXN” Jackson on drums. The band’s last studio album, There’s Only Black, was released in 2022, and Dolan has confirmed that writing has been underway for the follow-up. He described the next phase as feeling like “a new beginning,” with demos, artwork, production plans, and new material already being worked on.  The focus now is on the current band standing on its own. Venom Inc. still brings the fire, speed, darkness, and raw attitude fans expect, but the new material is about moving forward with this lineup as a real working band. Dolan has also spoken about wanting to record the current three-piece as a band, which gives the next release a different kind of importance: it will represent where Venom Inc. are now, not just where they came from.  Fans can expect the classic Venom Inc. ingredients: heavy riffs, blackened atmosphere, punk-edged aggression, speed-metal attack, and that dirty, dangerous feeling that made the name matter in the first place. But this new era is also about proving that the band still has something fresh to say.In this episode, we talk about the new lineup, upcoming music, writing plans, touring, the band’s legacy, and what fans can expect from Venom Inc. going forward.
