"Another dime a dozen Ohio grind dude who caped progressive politics while treating women like sh*t."
The man who killed nine and injured 27 in a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, was the lead singer of a "pornogrind" metal band, a genre defined by its explicit subject matter and themes of gore and violence, specifically sexual violence and necrophilia, BuzzFeed News has learned.
The gunman, identified as 24-year-old Connor Betts, was a member of Menstrual Munchies, a three-person band that performed regularly in the Midwest death metal scene, recently appearing as one of the bands at the Summer Massacre 2 concert in Chicago on June 29.
Pornogrind is a subgenre of a fast and extreme kind of heavy metal called grindcore, which is known for its mostly dark, satirical themes of sexual violence and gore delivered for shock value.
The band's song titles are explicitly sexually violent, such as "Preteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter" and "Cunt Stuffed With Medical Waste - Sexual Abuse Of A Teenage Corpse." The album art is equally explicit. One album cover shows a woman consuming feces, while another shows an illustration of a young woman's headless body chained to a bed, covered in blood, as a man puts his pants back on.
Musicians in this genre posted messages online saying they were disgusted by Betts's actions.
The band's Facebook page, which had nearly 1,700 likes, and YouTube accounts appear to have been deleted in the wake of the shootings, according to cached versions of the Google search results page.
The Menstrual Munchies' Bandcamp page, where the group released and sold its music, was, according to the Google cache, online on Saturday, the day before the shootings. It has now been taken down. BuzzFeed News has reached out to Bandcamp for clarification on its disappearance from site.
Before its deletion, the page advertising the band's discography featured, as its background images, maggots and a woman with sperm covering her face and in her mouth.
On Sunday night, the account of the "black metal antifascist" band Neckbeard Deathcamp tweeted that Connor Betts was a member of the band — but then the account later clarified that no one in the band personally knew him.
ETC...
He was a Beto bot. Wearing dresses. Clubbing women. Sex with corpses. Yeah man. That is Beto-bot territory.
RAP is all about abusing women too. You cannot imagine the crap that male RAP fans will say about women.
Or, their brains are like a stopped-up toilet at a rest stop.
And the media says being crazy had nothing to do with the shootings.
LOL, even when we know he told his girlfriend about his mental illness...
I had no idea what ‘pornogrind’ music was. I am glad there was a sentence in the article explaining it. I don’t think I would have like the results of a google search.
