In a recent social media announcement, BulletBoys have confirmed the return of their original bassist and co-founder, Lonnie Vencent, marking his fifth stint with the band since its inception in 1987. Vencent, now 60, has been part of BulletBoys during various periods (1987–2000, 2006, 2009–2014, 2019–2022). The current announcement brings him back into the fold as they start recording their tenth studio album.
Marq Torien, the lead singer and the only continuous member throughout BulletBoys' nearly four-decade history, shared the news on Instagram on December 7, 2024. The post, which also features drummer Fred Aching, celebrates the reunion with enthusiasm, stating, “3 Real Badass Mothertruckers!!! ... So it begins!!! 1st day of tracking for our New Album!!! It’s was a completely magical day!! So stoked to have the man who started this Band with me!!! Let me reintroduce you to .. Mr. LONNIE VENCENT!!!” Torien's message hints at exciting new music on the horizon, encouraging fans to get ready for "a whirlwind of Badassery."
This announcement comes after the departure of guitarist Ira Black and bassist Brad Lang from the band's most recent lineup, which also included Torien and Aching. The band's history has been marked by a revolving door of musicians with Torien at the helm, maintaining BulletBoys' identity through the years.
BulletBoys first gained fame with their self-titled debut album in 1988, released under Warner Brothers Records, which included the hit single "Smooth Up In Ya." This track helped the album achieve Gold certification by the RIAA. Over the years, BulletBoys have released nine studio albums, with this new project set to be their tenth, adding to their discography which includes albums like "Freakshow" (1991), "Za-Za" (1993), and "From Out of the Skies" (2018).
This reunion not only brings back a key original member but also signifies a new chapter for BulletBoys as they continue to create music and engage with their fanbase.
This whole interview will be released on Christmas Day, but wanted to share a piece with you guys now. Mark Farner gets it... at least in my eyes.
Seriously, one of the top 5 interviews I've ever done.

In a recent interview with Heavy Consequence, Rob Halford of Judas Priest discussed the band's upcoming "Shield Of Pain" tour in 2025, celebrating the 35th anniversary of their landmark album "Painkiller." The tour, described as a "rare" and "unique set," promises to include "beloved classics" and aims to offer fans a "truly memorable experience" across Europe. Halford revealed that while the entire "Painkiller" album won't be played in sequence, they are considering various formats for integrating its songs into the setlist, emphasizing the once-in-a-lifetime nature of the performance.
Halford also reflected on the creation of "Painkiller," which was recorded in the isolated setting of Miraval Studios in France. This environment, unlike the more social recording sessions in Ibiza for previous albums, allowed the band to focus intensely on crafting what they intended to be their heaviest and most energized album to date. The result was a full-on metal experience, with only a slight pause in...
