Connor Betts, the shooter who killed nine people Saturday in Dayton, Ohio was a member of a  metal band that sang about rape, gore, pedophilia and necrophilia and has been described as antifascist by another metal group.

Betts, 24, was a member of the band Menstrual Munchies. The group played a genre of metal known as pornogrind or goregrind which is obsessed with rape and mutilation of the female body.

Menstrual Munchies has also been described as antifascist according to tweets from Neckbeard Deathcamp, another metal group known for its hatred of those it sees as fascists. Betts also issued many of his own violent and pro-antifa statements on his now-suspended Twitter.

On Sunday, one day after the shooting, Neckbeard Deathcamp tweeted that Betts and the other members of Menstrual Munchies are “ANTIFASCIST SURE. BUT NOT GREAT WITH WOMEN,” according to Vice News.

Betts and his band Menstrual Munchies used to perform songs with titles like “C*nt Stuffed With Medical Waste – Sexual Abuse Of A Teenage Corpse,” “6 Ways of Female Butchery” and “Non Consensual Incest Prior 2 Vaginal Evisceration.”

The album art associated with these songs features horrific scenes. One shows a nude, decapitated woman chained to a bed while a man puts his pants back on in the foreground. (RELATED: Ohio Politician Blames Gun Violence On Social Liberalism)

Jesse Creekbaum, 25, is a member of Menstrual Munchies who is shocked that Betts actually endorsed the gruesome message of the band’s songs.

“I know, like, whereas I saw it as a joke — like, ‘Let’s play this and we’ll shock some people,’ and then the people that we know laugh — he didn’t see it as a joke. He was like, ‘F*ck, yeah. We’re gonna do this,'” Creekbaum said in an interview with Vice News.

“It’s like, Jesus Christ, how much of this was like real life for him?” Creekbaum wonders.

In addition to perpetrating the Dayton shooting, Betts got kicked out of school for maintaining and sharing a “rape list,” according to the Washington Post.

Betts’ rape list contained the names of “girls and all of these really pretty vile things that he was going to do to them,” says a former classmate of his whose name was on the list.

Menstrual Munchies is now working to remove as much of its content from the internet as possible in the wake of the Dayton shooting.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
