It looks like the long running dispute between Bad Wolves and their former singer Tommy Vext is still going strong. Guitarist Doc Coyle recently expressed his disdain for the frontman’s comments, saying “people hate [on the band] just for existing based on LIES and [he’s] sick of it.”

Vext recently spurred the latest tensions after claiming that Bad Wolves vocalist D.L. Laskiewicz wants to see his fans perish. Laskiewicz said the following in a clip shared by Vext:

“I’m the singer of this band, cry about it. And if you’re gonna cry about it, you might as well fucking die about it. So, we liked it man. We came up with that in like a locker room in Europe and it stuck.”

Vext then posted a response to that statement:

“After years of giving anti-suicide & mental health awareness speeches on stage with BW I am absolutely disgusted by this piece of shit of a person who is now telling my fans they can go to “die” for simply preferring the old songs over you mid garbage vocals.

This dude should have stayed on guitar in TAS. I can’t believe a record label who were so concerned about moral high ground during the 2020 election would allow such a low life scum bag pos to detail and ruin the band we built. Sad shit #badwolves #edgelord #coward”

Shortly after that, Coyle took a shot at Vext and his recent arrest in Arizona. The guitarist shared an article about the situation and simply wrote “Ouch.” However, Vext later claimed his “girlfriend was assaulted by her childhood abuser & [he] was falsely arrested.” Amid his statement, he also fired back at Coyle:

“Lambgoat posted my mug shot. I’m laughing at it. Everyone is like, ‘This is ridiculous.’ And they realized something is really wrong, the stories are not adding up. So basically, I went into a cell for an hour and a half, and I watched a movie, and then I came out, spoke to the judge, and they were like, ‘Oh, you got a misdemeanor. You just got to come back and plea not guilty, and we’ll see you in two weeks.’

That’s what the situation is. I know that I’m sure Doc and them, people are trying to blow this out of proportion or make it like, oh, I did something. They’re desperately trying to save their careers by defaming me. But the reality is that my girlfriend was violently assaulted, and I showed up, and I did all the right things. I’m 15 years sober. Don’t need the drama. She doesn’t need this. I’m really… I’m sad for her kids. Luckily, they’re safe with their father, who’s a good man. All this stuff is going to get sorted out. But it’s not okay for families to act like this, especially around small children.”

This led Coyle to take even more shots:
