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 hes 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. Hes 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.

The bandmate thought it was a joke? Ok then.

(33,643 posts)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.
