Hyper Potions. They split due to the other member being involved in pedophilia and rape, which shocked me when I heard about it.

I really liked this band called Issues but the band simply disbanded after some allegations of the lead singer grooming teenagers when him he was 18 surfaced. He didn't denied it and gave some very stupid apologies claiming that it was his fault for being too accessible to fans. Like, I get that he was 18 at the time but that is a very shitty excuse. I really miss them making new music, they were amazing.
Man I just discovered Issues a couple of weeks ago and loved their djent and r&b fusion style especially in Beautiful Oblivion. Then I looked them up and saw the lead singer’s issues (pun intended). It sucks because it’s his singing style that puts the r&b into their music, and they probably won’t sound the same. Glad the band kicked him out without a fuss though, so they can move on and hopefully make more of that style of music.

Cheb Khaled, one of my favorite singers since I was a kid, fleed from France to Morocco after France legalized LGBTQ marriage.

Lead singer of sonsombre is a card carrying member of the sons of the Confederacy.
Red House Painters, specifically Mark Kozelek. I think the things he was accused of were from his Sun Kil Moon days, but it still sucks. Those first couple of albums I have listened to dozens of times.
Crystal Castles and Sweet Trip also have intraband sexual assault allegations, which really sucks because then I'm a fan of both the victim and the predator.
Mellowed out over time. They all do it and it makes me sad.
Oh hey I know what this hardcore three piece needs, a symphony backed album. A rock ballad. A mandolin solo. Interpretive drums. Take something pure and water it down until it is no longer recognizable.
Give me loud riffs, simple drums, and boss lyrics pls.

I quite enjoyed The Orion Experience, until there were allegations of the guy being creepy with underage fans.
