Why Did Jeremy Spencer Leave Five Finger Death Punch? Truth Unfolds

Drummer Jeremy Spencer offered a more in-depth reason as to why he decided to leave Five Finger Death Punch.

Spencer joined other bands after the drummer left Five Finger Death Punch in 2018 due to issues with the physical requirements of his drumming. He revealed at that time that he could no longer perform the way he could make himself proud.

Why Jeremy Spencer Left Five Finger Death Punch Revealed

After his stint with Five Finger Death Punch, Spencer launched his own group Psychosexual, which was later called Psycho Synner, and became its vocalist known for a devil costume. He soon fronted Semi-Rotted, where he still serves as the frontman.

In an interview with Blabbermouth on July 17, the drummer was asked whether he misses playing with Five Finger Death Punch, to which he honestly said he "still does." Spencer said he particularly misses doing big festivals since he has not done it in 2018; still, he clarified that he does not want to go through it all again.

Hinting at the reason he left Five Finger Death Punch, Spencer explained he would not want to go back to it again after doing the thing with the band once.

"[Five Finger Death Punch] is a runaway freight train of a business," he said. "So many people relied on us; we had 30 crew guys. It's a big business. It's a lot of pressure; you got to keep going. Everyone is like, 'When's the next record?' I'm like, 'F**k you. You write a record.' It's not easy."

According to Spencer, he told his then-bandmates he would leave if they would not take a break at the end of that year, and the members opted not to stop.

Jeremy Spencer's Statement After Leaving Five Finger Death Punch

Spencer officially departed from Five Finger Death Punch in December 2018 after announcing his break from the band's co-headlining tour with Breaking Benjamin amid his second back surgery recovery.

At that time, he expressed how the band would need someone who could offer fire and energy while offering the best performance that the fans deserve to see. Following his exit, Scale the Summit drummer Charlie Engen filed in for him for the band's tour.
