Skeletal Remains’ Chris Monroy Under Fire for Alleged Misconduct on 70K Tons of Metal, Officials Issue Statement

There’s been a lot of chatter online lately regarding allegations that Skeletal Remains’ frontman Chris Monroy got far too drunk and sexually assaulted a number of women while aboard this year’s 70,000 Tons of Metal Cruise. Eyewitness accounts from attendees and cruise staff alike share very similar details regarding incidents that allegedly left Monroy banned from the cruise and confined to his quarters or thrown in the ship’s brig for the duration of the trip.

And while many accounts suggest Monroy was punished for his alleged actions, the metal cruise’s organizers told MetalSucks that the matter was addressed at the time and “no further action was warranted on board”.

“Our security team was made aware of a situation during the cruise and promptly interviewed all parties involved to defuse the matter. After reviewing the information available at the time, no further action was warranted.

“70000TONS OF METAL is a very friendly and inclusive environment, and we take the safety and well-being of our guests, crew, and artists extremely seriously. We also have a clear code of conduct that we hold everyone on board to, including guests and musicians alike.”

Word of Monroy’s alleged misdeeds began spreading last week on the unofficial 70,000 Tons of Metal Facebook group when two users, one of which opted to remain anonymous, posted their alleged experiences with the band’s frontman. Those posts were then shared on social media and Reddit, where even more people shared similar stories of Monroy allegedly being a massive creep.

“I’d like to give a big sarcastic shout out to the guitar player of Skeletal Remains for being a total drunk piece of shit who was groping women on the boat. Learn some consent before we ass fuck you next time you come around. Fuck you and your band.”

In another instance, a woman named Maddy Raymond posted a quick ‘fuck you’ to Monroy on Facebook, while another user on Reddit claimed that they were the one to report Monroy while on the ship. In their comments, they said Monroy wouldn’t leave them alone, constantly touching them after being told to “fuck off multiple times.”

“Posting here bc privacy versus other social media outlets. I was the one who reported him on the ship. He would not leave me alone after I got off of my volunteer shift and went to the casino bar with one of my best friends. Chris continued to approach me and grab me by the waist on my bare skin. I told him to fuck off multiple times. He would then continue to walk by me and grab me as he was walking by several times.

“I then sat at the bar with my friend, and he grabbed my cigarette out of my hand and my drink, and began to smoke my cigarette and drink my drink and grab me by the waist at the same time. I was telling him to fuck off extremely loud and he simply would not get the point. People sitting next to us started to notice and asked if we needed security and I said yes I told the bartender also to call security and they never showed up. I then decided to take action the next day and reported it to the higher ups of 70 K because I knew action needed to be taken.

“It is really upsetting to then hear that his behavior was happening in other instances on the ship and in previous events. Why no one has come forward before me? I’m not sure but there’s tons of video footage of what happened that entire ship has cameras everywhere. As per the security/police team and the information that they told me when they were reviewing my statement, not to mention, that ship also has 75% audio accompanying that footage so if anyone questions this decision made by 70000Tons Of Metal and their decision believe me that it’s official.”

As of this posting, Skeletal Remains has yet to comment on the allegations and they’ve turned off commenting on their social media posts. We have personally reached out to the band for comment but they have not responded to our requests.
