Josh Miller, affectionately known as Baby J has announced his departure from U.S. heavyweights SPITE. Australian deathcore aficionados were lucky enough to get a glimpse of the band playing tracks off their latest record Dedicated To Flesh in January this year when they toured the county with Thy Art Is Murder, Whitechapel and Chelsea Grin for the Decade of Hate tour.

The tour was a dream for best mates Baby J and Chelsea Grin's Tom Barber to hang out downunder after winning 2022 on the Darko (US) front.

Baby J delivered some absolutely menacing drums on SPITE's latest album and has visibly been enjoying touring the world with the band, however in an Instagram post announcing his departure, the wholehearted reason is to focus on Darko with Barber. Read the full post below. The announcement comes less than two years after Baby J left Emmure to join SPITE.

Darko released second LP Oni last year, followed by sophomore EP Dethmask Pt. 2 just before the new year struck. It seems like there might even be more Darko tunes in the works and on the cusp of release too, judging by the post above.
