Falling In Reverse's Ronnie Radke Slams Spiritbox's "Garbage" New Album "Tsunami Sea"

Falling In Reverse vocalist Ronnie Radke has taken to furthering his feuds with several fellow alternative metal musicians recently on social media, though the primary target of his latest volley of barbs were directed once again at Spiritbox. To a far lesser degree, Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes also got roped into Radke‘s latest onslaught.

Radke has been particularly savage towards Spiritbox in recent days, with his long-running beef with the band dating back to a 2023 tour that Spiritbox had planned to embark upon with Falling In Reverse. As it went, Spiritbox faced backlash online from their fans for agreeing to hit the road with the ever-controversial Radke and went on to drop off the bill in response.

Radke took issue with the matter, and has held a vendetta against the band since. In a conversation conducted in the spring of 2024, he explained his lingering issues with the band last year, while also outlining his problems with Chris Motionless of Motionless In White.

Across a series of posts on X shared over the past day or so, Radke began to unload again, offering:

“2013 all yall
Motherfuckers wanted to talk shit on me for being different and not like your retarded ass metal scene where all your bands sound exactly the same. Flash forward to now and most your bands can’t sell more than 500 tix a night and wanna act like we’re buddies. Yall are all cheating on your wives (the big big bands too) and some of yall were fucking underage girls but wanna act perfect online. I’m here to remind you that I know everything since I’ve been around for so long. and your times are all coming.”

Radke further went in on Spiritbox‘s newly released album “Tsunami Sea“, after responding to an individual on social media regarding the production of that album. For context, Spiritbox vocalist Courtney LaPlante told Rock Sound of her band’s aforementioned new full-length:

“I think a lot of people are fed up with the perfect crystal production that is found in metalcore music right now. We love big pristine production but the physical human performance in there provided by us isn’t super edited or quantized this time around.”

Replying to a fan who stated that “Tsunami Sea” was excessively polished with ‘over the top production’, Radke fired back:

“That shit is not polished. Album is fucking unlistenable mixed horribly and song writting is terrible. yall nominating that shit for a Grammy is unacceptable. Straight up fucking garbage. gloves are off oli Sykes is lying to all of you saying it’s good I promise you none of these clowns are ever being honest to the fans I’m tired of the lies.”

The mention of Bring Me The Horizon vocalist Oli Sykes stems from a post Sykes shared on his Instagram stories last week. That post found him relaying the following of “Tsunami Sea” ahead of its release this past Friday, March 07th:

“M8 this album. Had the pleasure of hearing it in full early & all I’ll say is when so many bands these days seem content chasing trends n doing same old shite it’s refreshing to hear a band dare to redefine what a metal album can be. Make sure you check it out This Friday.”

When another individual on X stated that “calling [‘Tsunami Sea‘] garbage is insane”, Radke responded:

“I spent my entire life writing hit fucking songs and mixing. This shit is fucking garbage. Objectively bad. Mix is terrible. Period plain and simple. Song writing is awful terrible Melodies. my opinion is the truth. None of these people will ever admit it. but in my DM’s they all agree.”

Radke then launched into the following series of posts:

When later asked today, March 12th, what bands he doesn’t have a problem with, Radke responded:
