Former Ingested vocalist Josh Davies has publicly denied allegations of sexual misconduct that surfaced online and ultimately led to his dismissal from the deathcore band last month.

At the time of the split, the group issued a brief statement confirming his removal and announcing a touring replacement:

“Effective immediately, Josh Davies is no longer a member of Ingested. Adam Mercer will be handling vocal duties on the upcoming Bodysnatcher tour.”

Davies addressed the situation today (March 7th) in a lengthy statement posted to Instagram, where he also shared screenshots of messages and other materials that he claims challenge the timeline and context of the accusations made against him.
