In the left corner, hailing from Chicago, Illinois, known for their sludgy post-metal…it's The Atlas Moth. And in the right corner, from Queens, New York. Known for his insightful lyrics about Ryu of Street Fighter, it's Emmure's Frankie Palmeri. It's the battle of the dicks!
All joking aside, when I say battle of the dicks, I mean it quite literally. The Atlas Moth are currently touring in Europe and noticed a trend in their backstage areas. They've all been graffitied by Emmure frontman Frankie Palmeri. The band decided to take action and start desecrating Frankie's desecrations and posting the results to the band's Instagram page. Here is some of "their artwork":
It also started with the below photo which has the caption "Before and after: me pwning Frankie palmeri of emmure cause he fuckin sucks"
The band then found a more intricate "Frankie Palmeri" graffiti design, so it required more intricate dicks:
The band added "Really enjoying busting on this douchebag #emmuresucks #saynotorapmetal #frankpalmerilovesthecock"
The last piece of graffiti-on-graffiti violence occurred on the actual Emmure logo, found backstage somewhere:
Frankie Palmeri has gotten wind of this and responded via Twitter:
Haha unsuccessful bands talking shit about me..Oh it must hurt to have such pathetic lives.

I doubt Palmeri is losing sleep over this and The Atlas Moth tour rolls on with sharpies in hand. Who's side are you on?
