Departure of Jeff "Mantas" Dunn

"Greetings my friends,

The last few months have been incredibly difficult on every level and to cap it all, only a few days ago one of my most beloved cats, Spooky, passed away in front of me after a short but very aggressive illness. I was with him every step of the way.

After I suffered the second heart attack, the outpouring of love and concern from you all via a multitude of messages and calls has been overwhelming, and a simple thank you seems so insignificant.

So my friends, it is now time to address the situation.

I wish to inform you all that I will not be returning to Venom Inc.

Obviously, my health and wellbeing are of paramount importance to myself and my family; however, there are also more personal issues which have influenced my decision.

To be absolutely clear, I will not be appearing at any advertised shows.

On a far more positive note, there is new music and a return to social activity on its way.

As I have said so many times, music is my therapy, my release and my connection with all of you who have supported me over the years, and for that I am eternally grateful.

So here's to Cats and Heavy Metal.

I will see you all soon my friends,
Much love and respect,
Jeff."
