Former SLIPKNOT drummer Jay Weinberg has announced his departure from SUICIDAL TENDENCIES after an almost two-year run with the California crossover thrash/hardcore punk legends.

Weinberg took to his Instagram to share nearly two dozen photos from his time with SUICIDAL TENDENCIES, and he included the following message: "As an exciting and busy 2026 takes shape, I'd like to thank @suicidaltendencies for bringing me onboard for an incredible year and a half of shows! What an absolute blast.

"With @chloweinberg's & my first child on the way, I've been dedicating time to passion projects like @portraitsofanapparition, a growing series of collaborations, finally building a proper at-home creative space, and some new in-the-works projects that I can't quite announce just yet. Although there's a lot of work left to complete over the next five months, it's been a joy to commit to finally getting these things across their artistic finish lines before my focus naturally shifts to becoming a first-time father.

"Though I won't be jamming with the fellas, I can't possibly overstate the love and respect I have for them, the SUICIDAL Army and extended family, and all the cyco fans I've met across six continents playing shows with one of my favorite bands!
