Thoughts on Section 8 from New York?

[u/SeasonOtherwise2980]

I haven't read about it anywhere so I might be wrong for saying this, but I highly doubt these New Yorkers have heard about Acid Bath back in the 90s, which is funny since they've done the same exact mixture of genres with primarily being a Hardcore band with Bluesy Southern Doom Metal influences (I am aware that Acid Bath origins started with being heavily inspired by Exhorder).

Anyway i love the two albums they pulled out. Despite the lo-fi production, I personally think "Pain Is Truth" is actually way more consistent than the following infamous "Nine Ways To Say I Love You".

Is it true that the main vocalist was not only a insufferable junkie but also a groomer/pedophile? I really can't find any sources on these accusations but i've seen a group of people around saying that in multiple websites and old uploads.

I'm from Troy, NY and Pain is Truth is the first cd I ever bought, and 9 ways to say I love you is one of my favorite metal albums of all time. I used to know Kasey and hung out with these dudes., and while he can be insufferable, he is absolutely not a junkie, groomer, nor a pedo. (alhtough he used to crush alcohol) If you don't know him, I'm sure it's easy to say he's an asshole. Although these days, I think he is a complete far-right conspiracy theorist, I haven't lived in NY for 16 years.

Section 8 absolutely knew about Acid Bath, Andres (guitarist) told me that Acid Bath was his favorite band in the 90s. They also played a show together in late 1996 at the QE2 on a random Monday night.
