Rev3rent are currently facing backlash for accepting an opening slot on Slaughter To Prevail’s upcoming tour. The controversy stems from the latter band’s frontman Alex Terrible, who was previously accused of Nazism and homophobia. As such, Terrible has now issued a statement claiming he doesn’t “want to hurt anyone’s reputation.”
Terrible said the following:
“We just announced our U.S. tour for this fall, and we’ll be announcing a Latin American tour soon as well.
I remember there was a time when we toured by ourselves, and people kept complaining that we didn’t have an opening band. So we started inviting support acts, and every single time the same thing happens. Fans of those bands start calling us Nazis and say they don’t want to see their favorite bands touring with us.
That’s why, personally, it’s much easier for me to tour alone, without any support acts, so they don’t have to deal with the backlash or damage to their reputation.
I don’t . So if @rev3rent_ decides not to be part of this tour, I’ll completely understand and wish them nothing but the best. I genuinely like their music, and I believe they have a bright future ahead of them.
As for us—a band from Russia with a bad reputation—we’ll keep walking our own difficult path. At least it’s never boring.”
