Tommy Vext

Tommy Vext is an American heavy metal singer and songwriter known for his powerful vocals and extensive career in the music industry, transitioning from a challenging early life to a focused career that includes fronting major bands and advocating for sobriety. After being invited to sing with Corey Taylor of Slipknot at Roadrunner Records’ 25th-anniversary show in 2005, Tommy Vext went on to establish a formidable presence in the heavy metal scene. He began his musical journey forming Maniacal Disciple in 1996, which evolved into the band Vext, and performed at iconic local venues like CBGB, opening for established acts such as Biohazard and Candiria. His talent quickly led to broader recognition, and in 2006, he was recruited by Dino Cazares of Fear Factory to front Divine Heresy.

After his departure from Bad Wolves in January 2021, Vext embarked on a solo career, launching a successful GoFundMe campaign to fund his independent projects. Vext has since released several solo projects, including the albums ‘Grand Theft Audio,’ ‘Uncovered, Vol. 1,’ and ‘Uncovered, Vol. 2,’ all in 2022.

Demonstrating his ongoing commitment to advocacy, Vext founded a non-profit organization in 2014 dedicated to assisting individuals struggling with addiction, an effort recognized with the Rock to Recovery 3 Service Award in 2018. His latest solo album, ‘Antarctica,’ was released in 2024, and he further expanded his touring commitments in 2024 as a touring vocalist for Ill Niño.
