We Regret To Inform You, The Deathcore Bands Are At It Again

It seems like every few months, another deathcore band is issuing some sort of statement about a member — typically the frontman — being accused of sex crimes. The latest trend seems to be: band gets new singer and immediately has to fire them after horrific allegations surface.

One of the more recent examples was Vulvodynia dismissing Zion Bittenbender this past November. Now, on the cusp of releasing the first album with new frontman Josh Davies, Ingested have fired him after issuing a brief statement:

Effective immediately, Josh Davies is no longer a member of Ingested. Adam Mercer will be handling vocal duties on the upcoming Bodysnatcher tour.

Davies has yet to issue a statement on the matter. The dismissal comes following a TikTok video detailing the allegations against him.

I'm wondering if the band will re-record the vocals for the forthcoming new album, or if things are too far along in the release cycle for that to be an option.
