OAKLAND BASED SPEED METAL BAND TRENCHER CONFIRMED FOR NAZIS
Oakland Speed Metal Band Trencher has played in punk/DIY spaces and been in community with punks. But they are racist, violent, Nazi Trump supporters.
I am a non-binary individual in Oakland who hosts punk and metal shows at my house. Trencher once played at my house. But the scene needs to be alerted that they are Nazis and need to be cancelled.
During a show at the Audio Nerd in Rocklin last night, Oakland based early Sodom/early Destruction/early Celtic Frost riff stealers Trencher played. Their vocalist, Marcus Kirchen (who admits he is a Nazi) urged the audience to "kill n****rs" (using hard R) and dropped homophobic slurs between songs. While it was not caught on video to my knowledge, there are multiple witnesses. They need to be cancelled and kicked out of our scene.
Furthermore, their guitarist Oscar Valenzuela was very supportive of his girlfriend, Lauryn Stockert, assaulting a Black musician during a pit at the Coroner show at the Cornerstone.
In addition, bassist Mikey Herrera, who is also in majority Latinx death metal band Mortal, is a well known Trump supporter, he supported him in 2024 because he made more money back during Trump's first presidency.
Their new drummer, Kendrick Hines (aka Grimes) is also a well known assaulter who slashed a person's face for no reason back in Guam. He also beats his girlfriend and says anti-Black,and anti-gay crap. Their former drummer was the one good person in that band, and he left because of the toxicity.
Also, their merch person, Robert "Bobby Big Balls" Langer is a very young edgelord who also runs a company called Bloodstone Patches. He told me at Hells Heroes that he rubs his patches on his genitals before he sells them to give battle jackets that "metal man musk", but that's not the worst thing. He likes to use racist, homophobic, transphobic, and ableist slurs as well.
I dunno much about the Sacramento scene, but here in Oakland, we don't play around. I ban people from my house for being too black metal, even though I LOVE Dark Funeral. We do not tolerate even sketchy bands here, and I will make damn certain they never play the East Bay again (They can always try San Francisco, they seem to tolerate more shit).
