Last night, metalcore band Hatebreed’s lead singer Jamey Jasta tweeted his discontent with the lineup order for the Día de los Deftones festival in San Diego.

“Who is churches with a v and why the fuck are they playing over Gojira get tha fuuuuuck outtta here,” Jasta wrote in reference to the fact that CHVRCHES was listed above French death metal band Gojira. “Have you ever heard The Heaviest Matter In The Universe you’re gonna get embarrassed off the stage lol no offense. God the music industry suckkkkks sometimes”

Jasta then clarified that this was not intended as a personal attack, but rather a commentary on the music industry in general.  “I’m sure they’re lovely people and a popular group,” he said.

He then continued to explain his disdain, explaining that metal genres should be higher up on the industry totem pole and does not receive enough respect. “If anyone is butt hurt about my opinion wait til you hear the podcast! Metal needs to be shown more respect. Longer career, legacy, more albums, bill em higher.”

I’m sure they’re lovely people and a popular group, I don’t agree with the line up order, same w/ other festivals, if anyone is butt hurt about my opinion wait til you hear the podcast! Metal needs to be shown more respect. Longer career, legacy, more albums, bill em higher 🤘🏻✌🏻

The comment was nevertheless not received well by electro-pop band CHVRCHES whose lead singer Lauren Mayberry responded to the tweet saying that Deftones curated the lineup and that they should avoid reinforcing rigid barriers between genres.

“I think it’s important and powerful that they promote the idea of a diverse community and try to bridge gaps instead of being guided by limiting, antiquated ideas about genre,” wrote Mayberry.

Deftones curated the lineup so I don’t know how that speaks to problems with The Music Industry. I think it’s important and powerful that they promote the idea of a diverse community and try to bridge gaps instead of being guided by limiting, antiquated ideas about genre. https://t.co/3AR1NvpKPe

She followed up by saying that she herself was a fan of both Gojira and Deftones alongside a gif of Rihanna rolling her eyes and rolling up the window of her limo.

I saw Gojira in Glasgow years ago and have seen Deftones three times so was excited when we got asked to be on the bill. Just because someone plays or listens to “pop music” doesn’t mean they don’t understand or appreciate other things. pic.twitter.com/NXlIQyXu3I

In a rare turn of events – at least by Twitter feud standards – Jasta seemed to resolve the situation by admitting he jumped the gun on judging the band. “It’s cool you like heavy bands, my mistake, he said. “Now I feel bad,” followed by a frowny face and peace sign emoji.

Oh damnnnnn, just saw this, the Rihanna eye roll?! Cold! It’s cool you like heavy bands, my mistake, when I googled you I saw bunch of crap you got from Chris brown & his fans, now I feel bad 😕✌🏻
