Steel and hardcore reveals can generally get fucking loopy, as individuals mosh, crowd surf, and in any other case trigger a ruckus to point out their assist of the band on stage. It’s only a reality of life at this level and also you’d suppose safety personnel would know that reality and both have insurance policies carried out to cease that kind of factor or put together themselves for the onslaught forward.

But apparently that wasn’t the case final Friday on the Ridglea Theater in Fort Value, Texas. Whereas on tour with The Black Dahlia Homicide, hardcore band Terror have been performing their set when a safety guard determined to insert himself into the present. The incident occurred when the guard, who’d been seen all night time pushing followers away from the stage, grabbed the mic and shouted “I don’t suppose so” earlier than handing it again to Terror vocalist Scott Vogel after he tossed it into the group to share it with followers. This kind of factor is a typical prevalence for Terror (and albeit for many hardcore reveals), however the guard wasn’t having any of it.

It was such a shitty state of affairs for the band that Terror took to Twitter to roast the venue:

Video of the incident circulated on-line, prompting musicians and followers alike to lambast the venue and the safety guard. Some bands even determined to again out of a present there and transfer their gig to a special location all collectively.

In response to feedback on a Lambgoat Instagram submit, the theater’s president Gerald “Jerry” Shults stated Terror was banned from ever taking part in the venue once more and that there have been issues being made as to whether or not they would do the identical for all hardcore acts.

“Sure we’re banning terror, and possibly all hardcore. Don’t know of a venue in dfw that may permit stage diving, punching, kicking and crowd killing, all of the whereas bitching about the whole lot.”

Shults then later held the ethical excessive floor by calling Terror the “worst excuse for a band I’ve seen in 20 years” earlier than saying Vogel “sucks.” He additionally argued that metallic and hardcore “don’t combine,” which is categorically not true.

“Principally mixing metallic and hardcore on the identical lineup simply invitations catastrophe. Steel needs to mosh, core needs to kick, punch, stage dive and crowd kill. They don’t combine.”

All of this appears like a clusterfuck that’s going to ultimately value this theater greater than it should Terror. In any case, Terror’s nonetheless on tour with The Black Dahlia Homicide, Frozen Soul, Fuming Mouth, and Phobophilic, whereas the Ridglea Theater could have simply misplaced a complete lot of potential concertgoers.
