BENEDICTION Announces Kam Lee as New Frontman

British death metal band BENEDICTION has officially appointed Kam Lee as its new lead vocalist. The announcement follows the departure of longtime vocalist Dave Ingram, who stepped down due to worsening arthritis-related pain. Ingram confirmed his exit in a statement, citing the increasing discomfort and frustration it caused, and expressed gratitude for fans who have supported the band over the years.

He will perform select shows in 2026 as a farewell gesture. Kam Lee, who previously performed in early versions of DEATH and the pre-DEATH band MANTAS, joined BENEDICTION in May 2026 as a temporary vocalist. His appointment has now been confirmed as permanent.

The band stated that Lee will take sole responsibility for vocals and that work has already begun on the follow-up to their 2025 album 'Ravage Of Empires'. The ninth full-length release, 'Ravage Of Empires', was released in April 2025 via Nuclear Blast Records. BENEDICTION last toured Ireland, Latin America, and returned to the Damnation festival in Manchester.

The group emphasized that Lee’s role is not a replacement for Ingram but an extension of the band’s established style and musical integrity. The band will continue touring as part of their next chapter, with full details of upcoming dates to be announced.
