Death Ray Vision guitarist Christopher Rosati has recently been alleged to have ties to Patriot Front Network 7 and the New England Active Club. The claims have sparked concern within the metal and hardcore communities, prompting vocalist Keith Bennett to respond publicly.
In a video statement shared on his social media, Bennett expressed surprise at the allegations and emphasized that the band was unaware of Rosati’s alleged associations:
“First of all, fuck the Patriot Front. Fuck fascism, fuck Nazis, fuck racism, fuck the Patriot Front. We had no idea about any of this. We did not cosign, we did not condone, we did not enable, and we weren’t hiding anything within our ranks because we didn’t fucking know. It sucks. It came out of fucking nowhere.”
Bennett also addressed his own past involvement with extremist ideology, clarifying that he has long since distanced himself from that life and no longer holds those beliefs:
“For accountability, I had a past that was part of that world, and I left that far fucking behind. I can speak with confidence saying that that is not who I am today. It’s not who I’ve been for a long fucking time, and I still regret that bullshit. I hope everybody has a good day. Fuck the Patriot Front. Stay free. Bye.”
Following Bennett’s statement, the band publicly affirmed their stance against fascism and racism:
“Keith said it best in this video. In solidarity, we are reposting his eloquent words. For anyone who is still uncertain about how we feel: DRV does not support Fascism, Racism, or ANY Nazi ideology. These abhorrent views do not have anything to do with who we are and what we believe in. Fuck The Patriot Front.”
As of now, Rosati has not publicly responded to the allegations.
Death Ray Vision last released No Mercy from Electric Eyes in 2023 via Metal Blade Records.

Clearly this dolt doesn’t understand the meaning of fascism.Don’t worry though the dozens and dozens of people at their shows don’t either.
Who? 🤡
yeah who
The guitarist is a fed ? ….. 🤣
First, like everyone else is thinking…WHO?
Second, the second you weaponize politics inside a band and publicly throw a bandmate under the bus, you prove you were never about the music. Bands are built on unity, not ideological purity tests. Airing internal shit for clout doesn’t make you brave; it makes you unserious. All it does is splinter your audience and rot the foundation you claim to stand on.
Nate Mathe nah you should definitely throw your bandmate out when you learn they’re part of an organized fascist militia.
All this empty bullshit about unity is fucking stupid when you’re talking about literal nazis
