Tommy Vext has officially revealed the musicians joining him in his newly launched project With A Vengeance, assembling a lineup that includes familiar names from the modern hard rock and metal scene.
The former Bad Wolves frontman initially pursued regaining the rights to his previous band in what he claimed was a seven-figure deal. According to Vext, negotiations with founding drummer John Boecklin ultimately collapsed, leading him to move forward with a fresh project instead.
Joining Vext in With A Vengeance is fellow Bad Wolves alumnus Chris Cain on guitar, alongside acclaimed shred guitarist Angel Vivaldi, who has collaborated with Vext in the past.
The rhythm section will feature drummer Austin D’Amond, known for his work with Chimaira, Bleed The Sky, and ex-DevilDriver, while Xander Raymond Charles has been tapped for bass duties. Charles had previously been linked to Ill Niño earlier this year before that arrangement fell apart.
The reveal marks the latest chapter in Vext’s long-running split from Bad Wolves, which led to public disputes and legal clashes following his 2021 departure. Last summer, Vext and Cain were already auditioning musicians through Bad Wolves cover performances — a move that now appears to have been early groundwork for With A Vengeance.
With the lineup now public, attention turns to when fans will hear the band’s first official music.

I give them a year before he’s kicked out of the band for being a colossal douchebag. The dudes going to be known for being kicked out of every band he’s ever been a part of haha
Let’s see which trend he jumps on with a vengeance
Reaux Junior what trend did he jump on before?
Angel and Austin give me more hope for this
Josh Galica have you never heard of Divine Heresy?
Dallas J. Hunt I know who Tommy is and have followed him since 2000, last few efforts have been kinda disappointing. Just saying
Josh Galica thats fair, but in this day and age if we sont have hope what else do we really got? Lol
What’s the over-under on how long before he quits this band?
Rob Allyn he was FIRED for his VIEWS in Bad Wolves. You must be new here
Eric Sellers Sorry, quit or get fired from. My bad. Also, fired from Divine Heresy, quit Snot, quit Westfield Massacre.
Dude is the biggest douchebag
Now that’s a line up.
Ok
Get your Affliction shirts out!
I can’t wait to watch him get fired for being a primadonna from a third band.
Another band that he’ll have a horrible breakup with and itll be all their fault im sure
Sounds like a whole bunch of agreements fell apart so they all agreed to do this. 👍🏻

Just do some Nu Metal stuff, that soft singing he does is cringe.
