Earlier this week, DEICIDE pulled out of the EXODUS tour due to “scheduling conflicts” and was replaced by POSSESSED. On March 19, a day after POSSESSED was announced as replacement for DEICIDE,  Metalsucks rekindled an article from December 2024, in which they detailed the acquisations of a 16 year old POSSESSED fan being groomed by lead singer Jeff Beccera and making private converstations between her and the singer public. In the converstations, he would have made unappropriate sexual innuendos.
