EXCLUSIVE: Dayton Shooter Was In a "Pornogrind" Band That Released Songs About Raping and Killing Wo

Source: Vice

Before he killed nine people in a mass shooting in Dayton, Ohio, early Sunday, Connor Betts was deeply involved in the misogynistic, male-dominated “goregrind” or “pornogrind” hardcore music scene. It has a regional following in the Midwest and is known for sexually violent, death-obsessed lyrics and dehumanizing imagery depicting women.

Over the past year, the 24-year-old shooter occasionally performed live vocals in the band Menstrual Munchies, which released albums titled “6 Ways of Female Butchery” and “Preeteen Daughter Pu$$y Slaughter,” with cover art showing the rape and massacre of female bodies. He also performed with a group called Putrid Liquid.

Now one of Betts’ bandmates, Jesse Creekbaum, 25, is taking the recordings down. He says he’s removing them out of fear the vulgar music he produced will make a cult hero out of the murderer, who was killed by police at the scene. He’s also received death threats online because of his association with Betts.

Creekbaum, who has been writing and recording music under the name Menstrual Munchies for more than five years, says he did it mostly as a joke and now is sickened that Betts apparently took it all seriously.

Now I need a shower. There are thousands of people who are fans of this genre of "music"...maybe people I stand in line next to at the grocery store or my even my neighbors. Sick and twisted doesn't begin to cover it.

Actually, I think I'll go live in a cave in the woods where I can get away from people, since they (we) seem to be able to find so many ways to be completely awful.

Didn't know about this extreme music trend. That's all we need at this point...

The bandmate thought it was a joke? Ok then.

Google 'cannibal corpse song titles' and check the titles and the years ...

Titles from their 1992 cult classic Tomb of the Mutilated album include 'Necropedophilia' and, well, one that, let's say, implies the removal of a young woman's internal organs ... and I'm not even going to say anymore. It's in the google list there.

TBH the genre is so incredibly over the top that I have a hard time taking it seriously ... but I'm sure at least some fans take it all very seriously.

I wonder if this sicko had made advances towards his sister and she rejected him? He obviously had animosity towards her.
