And the disagreements that led to the division are behind them as they gear up for the launch of follow-up Venom. Frontman Matt Tuck and drummer Michael 'Moose' Thomas flew to Thailand to create the 2013 album, leaving Padge and then-bassist Jason 'Jay' James behind.

Padge tells Metal Hammer's Merlin Alderslade: "It really pissed me off, to be honest. Being told over email that you're not going to record an album with your band. I'm sure it would piss anyone off. I was f***ing confused, hurt - and I just didn't understand it."

Temper Temper received a lukewarm reception when it was released. Padge says: "Do I think it was for the best in the long run? No, I don't, because our momentum kind of levelled off."
