311 Bassist Aaron “P-Nut” Wills: “Trump Is Evil, Always Has Been”
311’s Aaron “P-Nut” Wills has taken to social media to blast U.S. president Donald Trump. The bassist says “Trump is evil [and] always has been.”
Wills said the following:
“I just wanted to just, just like, get it out there, that within a week — yeah, I’m going to talk politics so you can get the fuck out of here if you don’t want to hear me talk politics. But within a week, this president, that some of you support still, which is fucking incredible and weird. Within a week, this president has threatened to destroy a civilization, right? Wipe out a people. And within the same week, he has put up a post depicting himself as Christ, ‘healing’ someone. I’m an atheist. I don’t believe in that shit. But if you do, and you know your scripture, right? That’s something the Antichrist would do, right? That’s anti-Christ material.
So get your shit together, people. He is not looking out for your best interests. Trump is evil, always has been. He’s looking out for himself. The only time he’s done anything good is to ingratiate himself, okay? Get it through your heads.
Threaten to destroy a civilization? An ancient civilization. One of the pillars of humanity, Iran is so smart. We have no idea. Their literacy rate is miles and miles ahead of us, okay?
This is easy. This is an easy decision. Okay? You don’t have to be right or left. Just stop supporting Trump, please.”

Suffocation Deny Allegations Made By Ex-Drummer Eric Morotti
Suffocation have commented on the departure of Eric Morotti. The drummer previously claimed he left the group after refusing to “work with toxic, abusive drug addicts.” However, the band have since denied those accusations, while also claiming he was fired.
Suffocation said the following:
“To address Eric Morotti’s false claims made in his social media posts on April 10th and to the news outlets who picked it up, Suffocation would like to take a moment to set the record straight.
Last week, the decision was made by Suffocation to part ways with Eric Morotti due to his conflicting schedule with Sanguisugabogg, which affected Suffocation‘s schedule for the year. Eric was notified of his termination on April 8 by email, which is released with this statement. It is unfortunate that Eric decided to falsify claims and take this to a negative place forcing us to make this statement.
Regardless, we wish him nothing but the best of luck on his future endeavors.”
They also shared an email that guitarist Terrance Hobbs sent to Morotti:
“After a lot of communication with the band and all involved .,,,Eric,suffocation has made the decision to let you go from the band due to scheduling differences and touring obligations…it’s unfortunate as we had a good run last decade!!! So with that being said ,best of luck to you and your music career as well as your up and coming gigs !!!!! If you want you can have wes perhaps come and grab your gear here as i’d like to make space here in the garage before we start our next tours and gigs..”
