FALLING IN REVERSE frontman Ronnie Radke has caused a stir by calling for a boycott of the metal band THY ART IS MURDER.
This came following the dismissal of THY ART IS MURDER‘s vocalist, CJ McMahon, who faced a backlash for a post viewed as transphobic. Although McMahon apologized, his actions triggered internal issues within the band, leading to his firing. Radke expressed his support for McMahon, criticizing the music scene for their fear of standing up for each other.
Radke wrote on social media: “It’s time to stand the f**k up and boycott this s**t boycott THY ART IS MURDER. I will send $20,000 to CJ right now tired of these spineless cowards bending to this s**t ruining peoples lives. F*k you. Why is everyone in this music scene so scared to stand up for each other? Grow some balls, or is that transphobic too?”
He further labeled THY ART IS MURDER as a “satanic murderous evil band.”
McMahon also commented on his dismissal from the band, adding that he only found out about it through their social media post.
“I just woke up and saw the news,” CJ wrote. “Yes this is how I found out. And yes it’s not the whole story. I’ll be going live tomorrow at 5PM Sydney, Australia time,” McMahon wrote, ending the post with, “Burn everyone to death.”
