After we reported it just a couple days ago, metalcore band Dead Crown have dropped off their current tour with Attila and Jynx, due to intense and direct backlash against the band’s new song, “No Remorse”.
Notably, the band appears to have shuttered all social media accounts, outside of their Instagram account, where they shared a statement below. The backlash stems from the band’s song “No Remorse”, which Dying Wish vocalist Emma Boster (among other notable names in the scene) called out publicly – denouncing their tone-deaf response to lyrics that appear to be directed at Dead Crown’s drummer. As you may remember, he was accused of domestic violence in 2020, with more than one woman coming forward with stories.

The band’s issued statement reads as follows:
“To all Dead Crown fans/family across the world.
“It is absolutely heartbreaking for us to announce that we made a group decision to drop off the Day Drinking Tour with Attila and Jynx.
“Over the last few nights, we have received countless death threats, threats on our van/trailer and belongings, phone calls to our day jobs attempting to get us fired, and spammed calls to venues/promoters attempting to get us removed from the shows. These isolated but targeted attacks have been brought forth by the misinterpretation of our song’s lyrics on a social media platform.
“While these comments may have been bluffs, we decided to the risk wasn’t worth the additional stress on tour of touring itself.
“The safety and experience of our fans is our first priority, and second to that comes our own safety and mental health. This was a horrifying decision to have to make for us, as we’ve worked extremely hard to get this point to just to have to back out.
“As it stands right now, we will be gathering ourselves at home and decompressing. We truly hope you understand this decision, and apologize to all of you who wanted to see us perform. Thank you for your ongoing support of Dead Crown.”
