Escuela Grind's guitarist denies tour driver allegations, while it surfaces drummer is a Freemason

Escuela Grind Free Mason

Escuela Grind's whirlwind success in recent years has come with a non-stop touring schedule that has seen them play everywhere and with seemingly everyone. 

Lately, it seemed like all that hard work had been paying off, as the band recently has been getting some radio airplay, hitting number one with their single "Ball and Chain" on SiriusXM Liquid Metal's Devil's Dozen

 

 

However, tensions seemed to boil over recently when their guitarist, Thomas Sifuentes, quit the band, citing safety concerns related to his hearing. Sifuentes accused the band of not taking his concerns seriously and telling him to stop "killing the vibe." 

As the band begins a rare two-week break before picking up again on an East Coast run with Capra, they posted a video to social media highlighting the last night of their tour, and received extensive backlash in the comment thread, with fans asking what happened with Sifuentes, and bringing up comments surfaced recently by a former driver for the band, amid other allegations.

 

 

The comments referenced were these, in which a former driver for the band shared their experience on a recent tour:

If anyone recalls I drove for a band for a bit. There was a lot of mistreatment throughout the entire tour, not just for myself, but I kept my mouth shut where I could, and just hung in there until I saw an exit. I looked crazy on the internet for a second pushing people until I got some form of apology. But, the apologies never came, I never got paid in full, you kicked my best homie out of the band, and you clowns are on your way home. So let's fucking get it. 

Jesse, how fucking dare you speak to people the way you do. Whether it be people "working for you", your friends, your band mates. You are trash. You think the shit you do and say is just going to disappear. You can delete hate comments but you can't delete my experience and you can't get rid of the people you fucked over. You boasted about leaving people on the side of the road, informed me l was simply your employee when I brought up concerns about the van and trailer. You hired a fucking tour manager THAT SEXUALLY HARASSED ME EVERY DAY. Pathetic. Coward.

Chris Kotter, the tour manager. You talked at the side of my head for two and a half weeks and underestimated me every step of the way. You flirted with me nonstop despite me telling you every single day in every single way that I did NOT like you. No I don't want to go camping or hiking, NO I don't want to peg you, NO I do not think some people come along as sexual shamans, and it's insane to me that the activist with a homemade "Gay Sex and Class War" patch would be such a fucking predator. I'd spit in your face if I knew it wouldn't give you a hard on you fucking prick. 

Katerina, it's disgusting to me that you would stand up there on stage every night and pretend to be a voice for the girls, gays, and theys but you didn't advocate for a single one that I saw. for Weird. You allow Jesse to ruin your band's reputation and honestly everyone's mental health that I saw. But, I'm just a fucking driver, what do I know. 

If y'all would have taken 5 minutes to get to know me, like I spent the entire two and a half weeks getting to know y'all you'd know I was more than qualified to handle your shit. ALL THE RUMORS ARE TRUE

 

 

Further in the comments, she stated:

Oh, and Alexandria. You are an absolute sweetheart and I really enjoyed working with you.

Tom, Ryan, and Krissy. I wish you all the best. I mean that. Love and respect y'all. How funny is it though that the dude with a [penchant] for "clown bitches" is runner up for most courteous in the van.

 

In response to that comment, Escuela Grind guitarist Krissy Morash said: 

We were happy to let you go because not only did you lie about being able to park trailers, you let your emotions effect your driving capabilities, aggressively driving behind/yelling at other cars (we have had friends get their vans SHOT at for this) you were not getting rest for long drives and chose to party with other bands and drink before we left venues. You nearly wrecked into oncoming traffic after breaking too late on LA freeway however you couldn't even accept suggestions for driving safer in the future (you apparently know how to drive and no one needs to tell you otherwise). I'm literally the reason why Jesse had to talk to you about behavior in Fresno and you buckled, gave up & insisted that we thought you would steal things from our van while trying to leave?? 

we bought airb&bs to make sure you were comfortable but yet you had a problem with not getting to choose which bed you slept on? We had a bed in the back for you to rest in as well during the day. We were nothing but accommodating towards you. 

To insist Chris is a predator when he did not touch you or even ask to peg you is insulting when i watched you get things out of him for your own benefit. Patting his head when he would do things for you. 

Day 3 in DC after damaging our van, we still showed you love and compassion. Jesse sat and talked to you for hours in the cold because we believed in you. To turn around and not consider any of this shows your true behavior and it is disheartening 

I am not feeling the love and respect you are portraying to a small group of this band on social media. I bit my lip and waited to even say anything about this because it wasn't anyones business and i considered you were maybe going through something in your personal life. 

while i'm still grateful for taking time out of your life to help us i hope you find other ways to deal with your incompetence in the future. 

 

Further allegations against the band have also surfaced online.

Grindcore musician Stephen Peniston (Neckbeard Deathcamp, Labrys, Automated Terror Machine) shared a photo of Escuela Grind drummer Jesse Fuentes at a Freemason induction ceremony, along with this message:

Is it such a surprise that a dude who has stolen thousands of dollars from acts such as Goolagoon, Mellow Harsher, Sick/Tired, and dozens more; churned and burned guitarists who didn't want to be corporate entities in music; hurled "F*****" and "N****" at folks and in conversation only to defend himself with "I'm a a tex-mex queer. It's okay." isn't a great person?

Anyways- I've sat on this photo for 6+ years. Here's Jesse with Escuela's financial investors at Jesse's Free Mason induction ceremony.

 

After a bit of digging, we were able to find his original Instagram post from November 5th, 2016:

ok first and foremost Stephen Peniston, is not and has not and will never have had anything to do with grind nor grindcore, this a scenemo, screamo twink add on, that wrongly uses the terminology grind and or grindcore, i've ran this through numerous legal teams and they've all came to the same conclusion he is not and shall not ever be one with the grind and or grinders and or the coregrind hoes.

"Whirlwind success the past few years" …. I never heard of these clowns until LG made an article about them back in November. Also is it just me or does this band seem like a industry plant from Lambgoat just to rile up the comment section?

anonymous 231 days ago

lol the chick was a preppy rich girl before the drummer recruited her as the singer of his band cause he knew having a "hot chick" would draw a crowd. He said it himself. Sure enough, this shitty band actually had fans…

Man this van driver really wants to be someone of importance. Would put money on all that shit being made up or embellished for clout. We all know hangers ons like this.

"Whirlwind success" f*ckin lol. Just because this site covers everything this band does and says since the new LG owners are always trying to impress 20-year-olds does not equal success. In fact, it is quite the opposite.

Hold the hell up, this is Todd Jones from Nails, and I'm about to drop a truth bomb on Escuela Grind. First off, Sifuentes leaving over safety concerns? That's a damn shame and a hit to the grindcore brotherhood. But now, this former driver exposing mistreatment, unpaid dues, and sexual harassment within the band? Escuela Grind, you're on a downward spiral, and it stinks worse than a dirty pit. Fans and the metal community, demand better. And then there's Jesse, the drummer, posing as a crusty punk being inducted into the freemasons alongside oil barrons? You're telling me he's some trust fund baby poser? Escuela Grind, you're losing credibility faster than a poser at a Slayer show. Jesse, if you're faking the punk ethos while rubbing shoulders with the elite, you're a disgrace. Metal doesn't need pretenders; it needs warriors. Get your act together before the scene disowns you. Nails stands for authenticity, not this circus you're running.

anonymous 231 days ago

"Jews, women, homos, hardcore. What could possibly go wrong?" lol, don't be an actual brainlet bud There are plenty of Jews, women and gays in hardcore, and they're not much more likely to be histrionic assholes than men in hardcore are. Most people are drawn to hardcore because they have mental health and emotional issues But even so, still better for hardcore to be full of these people than the knuckle-dragging, crew-loving dipshits who take hardcore in a laughably serious way

anonymous 231 days ago

Hey, it's Craig Golias, the muscle behind Austrian Death Machine, and I'm not here to lift weights; I'm here to lift the lid on Escuela Grind's dumpster fire. Sifuentes leaving for safety reasons? Unacceptable. Mistreatment, unpaid dues, and sexual harassment? Escuela Grind, you've hit rock bottom. Metal isn't just about the music; it's about brotherhood and respect. Shape up. And now Jesse, posing as a crusty punk joining the freemasons with oil barrons? Are you kidding me? If he's a trust fund baby playing at being punk, that's a spit in the face of everyone who's ever lived the scene. Escuela Grind, your credibility is sinking faster than a lead guitar riff. Jesse, the metal world doesn't need fake-ass punks cozying up to the elite. Get real or get out. Austrian Death Machine stands for genuine metal, not this poser parade you're leading.

Ronnie Radke here, frontman for Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate. Let me enlighten you peasants on what a real band looks like. We've been killing it for years, topping charts, and our stage presence is unparalleled. Now, Escuela Grind, you think you're dealing with problems? Try dealing with success like we do. Safety concerns, mistreatment, and unpaid dues? That's cute. You wanna talk about hardships? Try having your brilliance misunderstood by the masses. And Jesse, posing as a punk while mingling with oil barrons? Please, we don't need to fake it to make it. Unlike you, we've earned our place in the metal kingdom. Escuela Grind, take notes or keep wallowing in your self-made pit of despair. Falling in Reverse and Escape the Fate are untouchable, and your circus is nothing but a sideshow.

Greetings, mortals. I am Mortiis, a spectral entity who once roamed the realms of black metal with Emperor and now haunts the shadows with Mortiis. Allow me to transcend the boundaries of time and share my thoughts on this modern calamity. In the days of yore, I toiled as an 18th-century peasant laborer in the unforgiving landscapes of Norway. My existence was marked by the harshness of nature, not the petty grievances of today's metal scene. Safety concerns? Unpaid dues? Pah! We faced the real, visceral struggles of survival. Jesse posing as a crusty punk while cavorting with oil barrons? In my day, such insolence would be met with swift justice. The halls of Valhalla echo with the laughter of the fallen. As for the allegations of mistreatment and harassment, remember, I hail from a time when the elements themselves were our greatest foes. Your modern squabbles seem trifling in comparison.

Hey there, it's Katerina Economou, the powerhouse vocalist of Escuela Grind, here to set the record straight amidst the chaos. First off, let's address the elephant in the room: Thomas leaving the band. Yeah, it sucks, but we're not about to let that slow us down. Escuela Grind is a force to be reckoned with, and we'll keep shredding stages and melting faces, with or without him. Now, as for these wild accusations from our former tour driver and others? Please. We're out here living our truth, spreading LGBTQ+ friendly grindcore vibes to every corner of the globe. Haters gonna hate, but they can't stop us from vanflipping our way to metal glory. And Jesse's freemason escapades? Look, we're all about pushing boundaries and exploring new territories. If that means rubbing elbows with oil barrons while rocking out, so be it. We're not here to play by anyone else's rules.

Donnie Darko here…In the labyrinth of human interactions, where truth and perception dance in the shadows of our consciousness, the saga of Escuela Grind, with its denials and secret affiliations, serves as a mirror to the complexity of existence. It's not merely about the discord of allegations or the intrigue of hidden societies; it's a reflection on our quest for understanding in a world that defies explanation. Behind every action and every secret lies a deeper story, woven into the vast tapestry of the universe. As we navigate this enigmatic journey, we are reminded that the true exploration is not through the external chaos, but within the uncharted territories of our own souls.

anonymous 231 days ago

Too much drama with this band, band is trash anyways. RIP.

anonymous 231 days ago

Arnie Gr*pe here… It's like, sometimes, the world's just filled with all these loud noises, and nobody's listening to each other, just like when my dad died, and everything got so quiet and loud at the same time. It's like you're shouting, but the world just keeps on spinning, not caring. And it makes me so mad, you know? Because it shouldn't be like that. My dad's gone, and sometimes I wanna yell at him for leaving, but he's not here to listen. And now, you're dealing with all these people, like Jesse and Chris and Katerina, who are just making noise but not saying anything real. It's frustrating, like when I want to climb but I know I shouldn't, but I do it anyway because it's the only way I feel like I can scream out. And you, you're screaming too, about all the wrong they've done, and it's like they're deaf. They don't see how their words, their actions, hurt, like they're throwing everything good away, not caring who gets hit by the pieces.

anonymous 231 days ago

Donnie D you are so right! Craig Golias here, the powerhouse behind Austrian Death Machine, stepping into the labyrinth of words spun by Donnie Darko. In the world of iron and metal, where the clang of weights meets the roar of guitars, your poetic reflection on Escuela Grind's saga resonates. As a man familiar with the brute force of weights and the intensity of metal, I appreciate the artistry in your words. Escuela Grind's journey, with its denials and secret affiliations, mirrors the chaos and complexity we face in both the gym and the stage. It's a testament to the intricate dance between truth and perception, a dance that defines not just their story but the very fabric of our existence. Your reminder that the true exploration lies within the uncharted territories of our own souls strikes a chord. In the world of Austrian Death Machine, we've faced our share of chaos, and your words echo the sentiment that the real battles are fought within.

Dax Riggs from Acid Bath here…In a world where vans roar and hearts howl, you've painted me the villain of our twisted road show. Beds in haunted Airbnbs, talks of safety like fairy tales in a land where trailers dance closer to the edge than sanity dares. Chris, the innocent wolf in sheep's threads, became the puppet in our dark comedy, where head pats are the currency of the absurd. You offered love like a jester's bauble, compassion a sweet poison in the chalice of betrayal. Silent you stood, hoping truth would fade in the shadows of your stage. Yet here I am, the specter you accuse, dancing on the tightrope of this circus you call justice. You wish me enlightenment, but in our grand finale, I find peace only in the embrace of chaos, under the cold gaze of a cosmos too busy to care.

Jordan Peterson here…Look, the crux of any conflict, especially in something as tightly knit as a band, starts with staring straight into your own mess. Before you even think about blaming the world, you've got to own up to how you're contributing to the chaos. Personal responsibility isn't just a fancy term—it's about recognizing the role you play in the madness and stepping up to correct it. These hierarchies and structures within groups? They're not there to cage you. They're there to bring some damn order, so the collective effort doesn't crash and burn. When it comes to sorting out disputes, throwing them out for the public to feast on isn't just cowardly; it's downright destructive. The real work, the hard and gritty work, happens in the trenches of honest, face-to-face confrontation. It's about having the guts to speak up, to listen, and, yes, to admit when you're the one who's screwed up. This isn't about playing nice—it's about hammering out the truth and being accountable.

This comment section was killing it until the ___ here guy lost his mind. 0/10 not funny, get a new bit ^^^ Alright, buckle up, you clueless muppet. This is Katerina from Escuela Grind, and I'm about to school your sorry ass on how Lambgoat works. This ain't your grandma's tea party – it's the freaking wild west of the metal scene, where opinions fly like beer at a mosh pit. You waltz in here with your weak-ass critique, talking about the comment section losing its edge? Well, guess what? Lambgoat is where metalheads let loose, and if you can't handle it, you better crawl back into whatever poser hole you crawled out of. This isn't some sanitized, corporate-friendly forum. It's Lambgoat, where the real grindcore fans congregate. If you think you can stroll in here with your '0/10 not funny' garbage and dictate the vibe, you're delusional. You're just a lost sheep wandering in the wrong metal pasture, but don't you dare question the authenticity of those who bleed for the scene.

Todd Jones from Nails, Craig Golias from Austrian Death Machine, Ronnie Radke from Falling in Reverse, Mortiis, and Katerina Economou from Escuela Grind walk into a bar. The bartender looks up and says, "Is this some kind of metal supergroup?" Ronnie Radke smirks, "Well, obviously. We're here to make this joint more famous than our albums combined." Mortiis, with an otherworldly gaze, adds, "I've seen centuries pass, but never a bar this... quaint." Todd, scanning the place, grumbles, "Needs more aggression. Let's up the intensity." Craig, flexing his biceps, chuckles, "Yeah, we can bench press this place into a metal paradise." Katerina, raising an eyebrow, declares, "Let's grind this joint to the ground – Lambgoat style!" The bartender, bewildered, asks, "What's Lambgoat style?" Katerina smirks, "Commenting aggressively and leaving everyone wondering what the hell just happened."

"Anyways- I've sat on this photo for 6+ years. Here's Jesse with Escuela's financial investors at Jesse's Free Mason induction ceremony." You can tell Peniston really cares about right and wrong and believes in what he's saying by bringing this information, which he insists is very important, to the attention of the community immediately and not just holding onto it until it's advantageous to him like an 8th grade girl.

OK little fella…" lol, you don't even know a dozen of them and you want to talk like that? Ok bud. homosexuality used to be a mental illness too, your argument is dogshit. The truth of the matter is we know very little about it, and there exists a tremendous amount of middle ground between pure affirmation and pure pathologization The truth is most likely vastly more complicated than you seem to think bud - but I don't expect some 90 IQ CNA with a bone to pick to be able to identify something like this

This is Ta-Nehisi Coates, a writer and observer of the intricate intersections of race, power, and expression. In the departure of Thomas from Escuela Grind, the allegations raised by the former tour driver, and the whispers of a freemason connection, we find ourselves at the crossroads of personal and collective narratives. These moments compel us to scrutinize the complex tapestry of human relationships, artistic collaborations, and societal structures that shape our experiences. Thomas's departure, while undoubtedly a personal journey, is also emblematic of the broader challenges faced by artists within a landscape fraught with tension and discord. The allegations presented by the tour driver illuminate the shadows cast upon the often underexplored dynamics within the music industry.

anonymous 231 days ago

Ta-Nehisi with a little more here... As for the murmurs of a freemason connection, we find ourselves at the intersection of conspiracy and reality. In this realm, it is crucial to navigate with discernment, acknowledging the historical weight such associations carry while avoiding unfounded speculation. In confronting these narratives, my hope is that we engage with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to unveiling the systemic issues that may contribute to these stories. Let this moment be a catalyst for deeper reflection and dialogue, with an eye towards justice and collective growth.

This is Brother Cornel West, a fervent grindcore enthusiast and a regular on the Lambgoat forums. As we delve into the departure of Thomas from Escuela Grind, the allegations swirling from a former tour driver, and the mysterious whispers of a freemason connection, I find myself navigating the turbulent waters of both fandom and philosophical inquiry. Now, Thomas leaving the band hits me deep, akin to a breakdown in a brutal grind breakdown. The allegations? Well, in the grand opera of life, my dear comrades, every band has its backstage sagas. The freemason rumors? That's like a hidden blast beat, obscured in the chaos but affecting the rhythm of our collective grindcore journey. We must engage with these narratives as we would a fierce grind breakdown – headbanging through the complexity, feeling every blast beat of the human experience. Let us explore these tales with the intensity of a mosh pit, acknowledging the sonic dissonance while reveling in the shared grindcore brothhood

anonymous 231 days ago

I say by 7pm half these comments are deleted after the traffic slows down. It's a quick $100 and it's towards the end of the month

anonymous 231 days ago

Cornel West: "Ah, my grindcore comrades, have you ever noticed the perplexing phenomenon on Lambgoat? One moment, our comments are like a breakdown that shakes the very foundations of the internet, and the next, they vanish like a ghost note in the wind. It's a peculiar dance, my friends, where our words oscillate between existence and oblivion. What say you, Mortiis, to this enigma?" Mortiis: "Cornel, in the grand tapestry of Lambgoat, where the echoes of our words resonate like distant screams in a black metal forest, the deletion of our comments is but a fleeting shadow. It's as if the moderators are playing a cosmic game, erasing our musings like flames devouring parchment. Yet, our words persist in the minds of those who witnessed the chaos, much like the haunting melodies of ancient black metal."

anonymous 231 days ago

Cornel West: "Mortiis, my cryptic compatriot, you speak truth. It's as if our comments are sacrificial offerings to the digital gods, only to be erased by the unseen hands of moderation. But fear not, for our grindcore spirit remains indomitable. Let our voices echo, even in the face of deletion, like a relentless blast beat that refuses to be silenced!" Mortiis: "Indeed, Cornel. In the realm of Lambgoat, where the comments are both the cacophony and the silence, our words may vanish, but the spirit of the grind endures. Let the dance between existence and deletion continue, for we are but transient beings in this vast metal cosmos. The symphony of Lambgoat comments plays on, echoing through the void."

anonymous 231 days ago

Cornel West: "Amen, Mortiis. Our grindcore voices shall transcend the digital ephemeral and resonate in the hearts of those who dare to navigate the Lambgoat labyrinth. Let the grind persist, and may our words endure, even in the face of the mysterious deletions. Stay fierce, my friend. Stay fierce."

Mortiis here - black metal sorcerer, Norse shaman, and veteran of the legendary Emperor. Here, in Lambgoat's sacred space, I find dismay in the venomous slurs echoing. Lambgoat, our sanctuary for discourse and camaraderie, should be free from divisive poison. This hallowed ground, where metal spirits converge, demands respect. To the misguided soul spreading hate, may you find enlightenment. Lambgoat, a beacon of resilience, let us drown out hatred with the symphony of our shared humanity. Hail to the Lambgoat community, forging an indomitable force in the vast internet cosmos.

so here's the scoop on Jesse - dude pretends he's the big shot, all "we're fam" on stage but off it, total drama. heard he's pocketing extra $$ from gigs, calling it "my bad, expenses" - yeah, sure. and if u ever hum around him, bam, he says it's his idea and ur name's gone. and get this, Jesse loves spotlight, not just on stage. slides into DMs like he's Mr. Romantic, then just ghosts. classic Jesse. his ego? huge. talks down to everyone, acts like we're just his crew. and loves starting drama, then acts all innocent. so yeah, Jesse's trying to be this emo king, but really, he's just playing pretend. spelling and stuff? as if he cares - thinks it makes him look cool. katerina's all "stand by ur man" with Jesse, but it's no real loyalty, it's all for the spotlight. she talks big about support on stage, but off it? she's just as much about keeping her image shiny. ignores the real issues if it keeps her in the limelight. her defense of Jesse? just to make her look good.

anonymous 231 days ago

Krissy's on a new path, and it's hard not to notice. there's something about her transformation that's really captivating, But then, her defending Jesse kinda throws you for a loop? why back someone so out of step with the person she's becoming? it's a bit of a head-scratcher. despite that, there's an undeniable pull towards her. watching her move away from all that old noise, you can't help but be drawn in. the whole situation with Jesse might be a minor blemish, but it doesn't take away from the fact that she's got this undeniable allure. it's clear she's charting a course far from her past, and there's something incredibly appealing about the direction she's headed.
