Venom Inc. welcome Curran Murphy as their new guitarist

Venom Inc. have added Curran “Beleth” Murphy as their new lead guitarist in the wake of Jeff “Mantas” Dunn exiting the group. Earlier this month, Dunn announced he would not be returning to the veteran heavy metal outfit, citing both health and personal issues.

It would appear that the decision was made without much discussion with his now former bandmates, as they claim to have found out about the lineup change online like everyone else. A newly issued statement from Venom Inc. on this latest lineup development reads as follows:

“Venom Inc. is proud to announce that Curran ‘Beleth’ Murphy has officially joined Demolition Man and JXN as the band’s new lead guitarist!

Beleth already covered for Jeff ‘Mantas’ Dunn after he suffered his second heart attack. December 1st, 2024, Mantas announced he was stepping down permanently because of health and personal reasons.

Fans will be able to witness Beleth’s incredibly energetic stage presence during the coming Beyond the Black tour.

Venom Inc. and Warheads wish Mantas all the best and warmly welcome Beleth!”
