== Firing of Joseph Schafer ==
In June of 2022, bassist Owen Holmes released a lengthy Instagram story, revealing backstage drama and the many controversies of vocalist Joseph Schafer. Owen accused Joseph of antisemitism, sexual assault, and acting recklessly under the influence. Ayala and Jeremy accused Joseph of refusing the COVID-19 vaccine, being racist towards police officers of color, and defending the January 6th insurrection. All members posted video, image, and audio proof of Joseph's actions, which prompted Jeremy and Owen to fire the vocalist. On July 1st, Jeremy Row joined OOUT radio's "Rockin to the Weekend" broadcast, to announce Joseph's firing."We fired Joseph Schafer the morning before this interview. We've been fed up with his crap since 2020, and it's not ethical nor safe for us to let him keep performing in a band striving for diversity within the rock and metal community. We're currently searching for a new vocalist, and we'll make an announcement in the coming months." - Jeremy
