Tony Bray was born in Tyne & Wear in 1960. He was one of the founding members (along with Jeffrey "Mantas" Dunn) of Venom in 1979.
He left Venom in 1987 and reformed them in 1988/89 with Mantas and a new bassist/vocalist Tony "The Demolition Man" Dolan , this lineup lasted until c-1995 when the classic lineup of Abaddon, Mantas and Cronos reunited. Bray departed in 1999 and after various projects, and his solo album "I Am Legion" (2000) & management , he disappeared from the music scene altogether.
He resurfaced in 2015 when he was asked to play a short Venom set along with Mantas and Tony Dolan (after their M-Pire Of Evil set) at the Keep It True festival in Germany. This lineup reformed not long after this due to demands from promoters around the world. This incarnation of Venom is known as Venom Inc.- Iron & Steel. They have since toured the world and released the album "Ave" in 2017 !
He has also become a father again , in March 2018.
