Reflections loses two members over vocalists support of ICE

Metalcore act Reflections is now down two members as both bassist Francis Xayana and guitarist Patrick “Patty” Somoulay have announced this past week that they’ve left the band. This comes as vocalist Jake Wolf and his alleged support of ICE has caused a split between members.

Both former members have released statements online while Wolf and other members have remained silent.

Xayana posted to social media on January 26th via his Instagram Stories:

“Jake has always had control of the band. There’s a reason Patty left even though he is the primary writer.

Jake is an ICE apologist and I will not fuck with someone like that. I don’t give a flying fuck what we’ve been through. I cannot trust a person who thinks this is necessary.

And honestly fuck you if you support this ICE shit. You’re a fucking bitch.

And instead of getting into your fucking feelings y’all should have been listening to Black voices this entire time. Now when a white person is killed in the same form they’ve experienced for centuries, we are at end game. There is no going back.

This is the beginning of the end if people continue to turn a blind eye.

He’s going to kill anyone who opposes him.”

Somoulay also confirmed his exit, writing:

“I am no longer a part of Reflections.

A lot of stuff happening in life lately where it just does not feel okay to continue on with this myself.
Also f**k ICE.

This isn’t the country my family wanted to risk their lives to come to.”
