96 Bitter Beings

96 Bitter Beings is the heavy rock project founded in 2016 by former CKY frontman Deron Miller. Their crowdfunded debut Camp Pain (2018) set the tone, followed by Synergy Restored (2022, Nuclear Blast), which expanded the sound with heavier grooves and sharper intensity. In 2023, the band launched the Infiltrate•Destroy•Rebuild Tour, performing CKY’s 2002 album in full alongside 96BB originals. Momentum continued with Return to Hellview (2024), a reimagined set of CKY classics. Most recently, in July 2025, they released 96 Quite Bitter Beings 2025 via Distant Recordings, featuring Miller with Cameron Dewald (bass), Tuomas Vuorio (drums), and Matt Sheehan (synths). Today, 96BB blends nostalgia with new creative fire, resonating with longtime CKY fans while forging a distinct identity of its own. The current lineup is Deron Miller, Cameron Dewald, and Tuomas Vuorio.
