David Richard Ingram (born 25 January 1969) is adeath metal vocalist fromBirmingham, England. He began his career replacingMark "Barney" Greenway in death metal bandBenediction when Greenway decided to focus solely onNapalm Death. Ingram stayed with Benediction until March 1998, when he joinedBolt Thrower, officially replacingMartin van Drunen after having handled vocals temporarily for the band during a show on 4 July 1997 inZwickau Germany.
In 2004, Ingram left Bolt Thrower due to health problems, just prior to the recording ofThose Once Loyal. He later performed vocals on an album by Warlord UK and sang in his own band Downlord until the band disbanded in 2008. Later that same year, he began Metal Breakfast Radio, an online metal show that reviews new music from underground bands in a unique and somewhat humorous manner. Ingram's own website can be found at www.darksentinel.dk (not active as of 21/April/2025)
In a departure from his metal roots, Ingram launched abig band jazz andswing themed online streaming radio program calledLambert's Basement.[1] The title of the show is a tribute to his father Lawrence Albert Lambert Ingram.[2]
The post-Downlord period saw Ingram involved in a number of other bands and projects. His collaboration with Rogga Johansson lead to the bands Down Among The Dead Men and Echelon.
In late 2015, Ingram was announced as the new vocalist for Dutch death metal bandHail of Bullets in anticipation of their appearance atMaryland Deathfest in May 2016.[3] At the conclusion of the band's set, Hail of Bullets guitaristStephan Gebédi announced Ingram had joined the band on a permanent basis. (In an odd coincidence, Ingram was again replacing van Drunen). The band announced their disbandment in March 2017.[4]
In July 2019,Benediction announced Ingram had rejoined the band, following Dave Hunt's departure. The first album with Ingram,Scriptures, was released 16 October 2020.[citation needed]
