Kyle Rittenhouse booking at Florida metal music festival prompts headliner, other bands to quit — and founder to blast them as ‘frauds’

The headliner of a heavy metal music festival in Florida — and seven other bands — dropped out of the show to protest that acquitted Kenosha killer Kyle Rittenhouse would be on the bill as a “special guest,” according to reports. Rockers Evergreen Terrace pulled out of Shell Shock II in Orlando, saying it refuses “to align with an event promoting murderers” — prompting the festival’s founder to slam them as woke phonies.

Seven other bands including Southpaw, Let Me Bleed and American Hollow followed suit and quit the festival, saying they didn’t want to get political, according to the festival’s founder Tyler Hoover.

“The most punk move you can **** do is stay on a bill that everyone hates. That’s being covered by the media. What happened to punk? What happened to rock? What happened to finger in the air?” Hoover said, according to Outkick.

The festival, which raises money to help veterans with PTSD, will now feature a Slipknot cover band as its headliner and is still scheduled for Oct. 19, according to the music site Loudwire. It wasn’t immediately clear what Rittenhouse’s role as a “special guest” at the festival would be.

That’s a name you don’t want to be remembered as - Kenosha Killer Kyle - although it might make for a good rock band name!

Maybe the Killer Kyles or Killer Kyle and the Patriotic Misfits.

They might do a cover of the song, “Kill a Commie for Mommy.”

Calling him a murderer opens them up to slander suits.

Apparently those hardcore metal bands that canceled are against defending yourself from pedophiles trying to kill you over an excuse to riot over some BLM virtual signaling.

True metalheads only riot due to their intolerance of non-metal music being played.

The bands/personnel mentioned in the article are just everyday faggots that like to diddle little kids and appease the powers that be’s social du jour while trying to make a living.
