Last month, the grave of Pantera guitarist Dimebag Darrell was vandalised by the lead singer of obscure metal band Nuclear Hellfrost. The singer has now offered an apology and claims the other band members were not involved.
Reece Eber took to Facebook to apologise for the incident, stating it was "the dumbest possible delinquent act" and insisted his fellow band mates played no part. The singer went on to say "My friends and I have received death threats and multiple insults over the past day or so, I've made the …news, and all I can say to sum it all up is I'm deeply sorry".
The original Instagram photo (below) - posted to Pantera's Facebook page on 28 February - states "we paid douchebag darrell a visit" and goes on to say that the band vandalised the grave with the word "FAG".
Nuclear Hellfroft have now distanced themselves from Eber and deny any connection to the incident - claming that the posts about them are "a complete suprise" while insisting there is nothing carved into the grave "the only thing that exists is a photo of a piece of paper posted by the former member" they explained.
They went on to say "Anything having to do with grave desecration was entirely a hoax put on by our former lead singer completely disconnected from the other members of the band".
Eber concluded his apology by saying "The fact of the matter is I feel awful and guilty and this will stick with me forever, just like the Seinfeld guy using the N word."
Dimebag Darrell died in 2004 after being shot dead while performing on stage in Ohio.
