Biography

VENOMIN JAMES is a Doom Metal band based out of Kirtland, Ohio USA, formed in 2006. The band released their first album “Left Hand Man” in Sept. 2007 on their own label, Kultland Recordings.

The release of “Left Hand Man” caught the interest of Cleveland metal legend Bill Peters in 2008, President of Cleveland Ohio independant label AUBURN RECORDS and legendary DJ of the world famous “Metal on Metal” radio show, which started broadcasting in 1983. Peters signed the band and released their sophomore album “Crowe Valley Blues” in Sept. 2010.

Tragedy struck the band in June 2010, with the death of drummer Jared Koston from cancer. Eric Matthews (Pro-Pain, The Spudmonsters, Red Giant, The Alter Boys) has since stepped in as drummer.

VENOMIN JAMES was invited to perform at the prestigious Wacken Open Air 2011 festival in Wacken, Germany on August 06, 2011. Playing to a crowd of 8500+ as a direct warm-up to the Swedish band GHOST, the band gained new fans and opened new doors to returning to Europe.

December 2012, the band parted ways with vocalist Jim Meador, and have remained an instrumental band while seeking his replacement.

The band’s third album, “Unholy Mountain”, which will be released spring 2013 on Auburn Records, followed shortly after by the release of a remixed and remastered “Left Hand Man”, and an EP of new material.

Since 2006, Venomin James has shared the stage with a wide variety of respected acts, including: Karma To Burn, Saint Vitus, Sourvein, Weedeater, Witch Mountain, Lo-Pan, Elder, Trouble

    Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. I saw hundreds of people getting into our set. Too bad if your experience was different. To each their own.

    Thanks for your input JIMJIMJIM. Venomin James is always receptive to constructive criticism, unfortunately your statement is completely baseless. There is plenty of pro-shot video of our performance which completely contradicts your observation....maybe you were a victim of heat exhaustion. PS: You are a douchebag.
