    This thread is a prime example of why I don’t research artists whos music I like. If I purged everything from my library that was made by assholes, I wouldn’t have any music left.

      Ignorance is bliss. I was a big Iced Earth fan about 20 years ago (basically until Glorious Burden came out). At the time it was “Barlow left, new album is jingoistic tripe, bye.” Barely gave them a thought until I read that Schaffer got locked up for not just participating in the 1/6 insurrection, but he was a founding member of the Oath Keepers to boot. He’s out now on pardon of course. But I can’t really listen to IE or Demons and Wizards anymore.
