Once more, FALLING IN REVERSE frontman Ronnie Radke finds himself embroiled in a public dispute, this time levelling accusations against death metal artists. Just a month ago, the vocalist clashed with Devin Swank, frontman of SANGUISUGABOGG. In his latest altercation, Radke asserted that SANGUISUGABOGG targeted him and evaded confrontation by retreating to their tour bus.
Radke tagged SANGUISUGABOGG and wrote on X: “Hey guys why won’t you come off your bus I want to talk to you why are you threatening to call the police I thought you were a trained fighter I just wanna talk. Devin why are you hiding?”
After receiving no response from Swank, Radke posted a series of tweets, writing: “Like I said, y’all death metal dudes are soft as s**t. Stop playing with me.”
In other tweet, he wrote: “Devin stop posting on instagram like you are tough, you aren’t downstairs with the rest of your band right now as we speak. you can FaceTime me and apologize or when you come back to the USA I’ll be waiting for you. I’m trying to be nice. you threatened to kill…”
And another one: “Devin come downstairs, your band wants you to apologize to me on FaceTime @sanguisugabogg if you apologize to me I will let it go, you talked about my dead brother I will not stop until you apologize.”
Everything started when Radke came to Machine Gun Kelly‘s defense over criticism of MGK‘s new guitar design shaped like a razor blade. Responding to Metalbirb‘s critique, Radke tweeted, “My guy I’m not jumping on any sides here but come on, have we gotten so lost we are now complaining about a razor blade guitar cuz it might trigger people to self harm? But you turn around and give my video of me murdering people with guns a thumbs up? I like you bro, Let the man live.”
In a parallel thread, STABBED guitarist Mark Valentino mocked MGK‘s guitar, stating, “If I see anyone with this guitar, I will beat them with it.” Radke fired back, threatening to confront Valentino at his show, dismissing deathcore metal musicians as “soft” and challenging Valentino‘s toughness.
SANGUISUGABOGG joined the fray, ridiculing Radke with memes and taunting comments. Radke retaliated by mocking SANGUISUGABOGG‘s band lineup. The exchange escalated with insults and challenges exchanged publicly and privately, leading to attempts to settle scores in person.
