Jeremy Spencer
Jeremy Spencer (Jeremy Spencer Heyde) was born on January 8th, 1973 and is currently 53 years old. Jeremy Spencer was born in Oakland City, Indiana, USA.
Jeremy Spencer is the ex-drummer of Five Finger Death Punch, a band that he co-founded. He is the lead singer of Semi-Rotted, a groove/death metal band.
When he was 9 years old, he started playing drums on a set that his grandma bought for him at Sears. Growing up in Boonville, Indiana, he was a member of numerous local bands, one of which (called Cornucopia of Death) opened in Indianapolis for Pantera, when he was just 17 years old.
After finishing high school, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Mick Sweda, BulletBoys guitarist. While in LA, he met Jason Hook, future Five Finger Death Punch guitar player.
He played in a number of bands with the usual frustration of unreleased material and shelved projects, as he worked numerous odd jobs, including recording some tracks with WASP, a heavy metal band.
Jeremy formed Five Finger Death Punch with Zoltan Bathory (former bassist of UPO), with singer Ivan Moody, Caleb Bingham (a guitarist) and Matt Snell (a bass player).
They recorded their first album in 2006, and signed a record deal with Firm Music. They released an EP called “Pre-Emptive Strike” from their first album called “The Way of the Fist”, which was certified gold and spawned 3 Top 10 singles.
He was named Golden Gods’ Best Drummer by
Revolver Magazine, and got voted the Best Drummer of 2015 by Loudwire. At the 5th Annual Loudwire Music Awards, he was also voted Best Drummer.
Death Punchd is a fascinating inside account from the co-founder of Five Finger Death Punch, one of the most successful heavy metal bands of the past decade, and a revealing personal journey through the wild highs and horrifying lows of the rock and roll lifestyle, a rollicking and wry story of addiction, recovery, and music.
Jeremy takes us behind the scenes and onstage, on tour and into the studio in order to tell the band’s story, and his own.
This is a detailed and in depth account of the group’s influences and origins, and the infighting and tensions, that, when they’re channeled properly, result in music that their fans love. It’s also the hard-charging and laugh-out-loud story about how a mischievous boy rose from small town Indiana to rock royalty, and how he almost destroyed it all for a good time.
Told in his self-deprecating and unique voice, full of humorous and twisted take on living the drugs, sex, and rock n roll dream turned nightmare, and including dozens of pictures, this is a no-holds-barred, lively, and inspiring cautionary story which offers lessons to us all.
