Defying Atmosphere drummer Krieg Bleier hospitalized after altercation with manager
by Steph Cage

The metal world is rocked once again by Defying Atmosphere. As of the morning of November 26th, reports from Sacred Saint Hospital state that Krieg Bleier was rushed to the emergency room with broken ribs, internal hemorrhaging, and a concussion, after instigating a physical instigation with Defying Atmosphere manager, Kimiko Fukui.

Although the latest reports say Krieg is in stable condition as of this afternoon, DMF has been unable to get a statement from Krieg or Ms. Fukui, leaving us only with speculation. It may be likely that this is the aftermath of the termination of mix artist Gaige, after which Krieg has cut back on much of his social media activity. The day of news coming out that bassist Weasel was also fired, Krieg broke character with his still-latest tweet:

KRIEG @kriegthepsycho Nov 25

this is bullshit.

We can only hope that this is only his reaction to the loss of his bandmates and not an indication of addiction rebound. Additionally, one can only wonder how a man of Krieg's stature could sustain such damage from a slight young woman like Ms. Fukui. I want whatever self-defense classes she's taking. \m/

[Krieg gives him a double-take when Xanxus, of all people, shows up. Security must be a joke, but if it's Xanxus getting through as opposed to, say, hecklers, journalists, and fans, he'll take it.

He's not exactly a fan of beer--too many carbs--but he figures it's probably the better-end stuff, suited for a night where he feels like trying something different.]

Hops count as flowers.

[You know, if either of them were the kind to appreciate floral arrangements as gifts.]

The hell possessed you to come visit me? Close the door, I don't want people seeing us hanging out.

[Normally he doesn't give a shit, but he's trying to be on his best behavior so he doesn't end up in the psych ward by night's end.]

[ He totally deserves that look. Because yeah. He's probably the very very last person Krieg would ever expect. But whatever, Xanxus does what he wants. And really, all the booze in the booze basket is top notch stuff. Xanxus doesn't believe in giving shit alcohol as gifts. He has standards ]

Fuck if I know man. Just heard through the grapevine that your ass was here. I guess it's cause you're my rival or something and shit will get boring without you. [ Xanxus code for "I think of you as a maybe sort of friend and I wanted to check in on you". ]

[ Definitely heading on in and closing the door behind him because he really doesn't want anyone seeing him here. Plus... beer basket needs to be delivered. And then there's a small actual fruit basket that goes next to it. ]

So, feel like you look?

I feel fine. Great, actually; I'm not even on painkillers right now.

[Because he doesn't need them with his ridiculous pain tolerance.]

So who's talking about me behind my back?

That's good at least.

[ He's going to drag a chair over to sit down. It's weird. A much as he gives this guy crap, when they're not surrounded by people, Xanxus is pretty normal with him. ]

Some chick named Steph Cage. Let me show you.

[ Enjoy the tabloid. ]

And you know, you don't usually believe bullshit like this, but with some of the crap that's been happening, I guess I just had to check it out for myself. If you weren't here then welp, more beer for me.

Steph Cage, Steph Cage...

[He repeats it as he looks over the article.]

Oh, right, I know her. She's a good girl, but you can't trust her with a secret.

[A pause...]

She has it right, you know. About my injuries. Kimiko did it all--bare-handed.

[Against Krieg. If anyone would find this fishy by default, it'd be Xanxus.]

[ An incredulous look because how could such a little thing put some wall like Krieg in the hospital with her bare freaking hands ]

You're not fucking with me, right? There's no fucking way. Not unless she was pulling some sort of bullshit. She didn't like...I don't know...drug you first or something?

Dead serious. If she drugged me, I would've known. It's not like she used some super-technical martial arts, either. She overpowered me by strength alone.

[A beat.]

Has anyone told you what Juno put us through a few weeks ago?

[ He knows he's looking at Krieg like the dude grew a second head. Because it's simply unbelievable to hear that some little girl did this to such a huge guy. A guy even Xanxus didn't really want to actually tangle with. ]

...No. I haven't heard. I only know a few people from your label and we don't talk shop. Did you guys get hazed too or something?

No, it was a lot weirder than hazing. Blanche's right-hand dragged a bunch of us to the basement and did some weird seance thing, complete with soul-sucking bullshit and everything.

I don't know if they put experimental drugs in the air or whatever, but we haven't gotten a single explanation about what it was or even why.

Soul...sucking bullshit. [ Just when he thought he'd heard everything. But he doesn't not believe Krieg. This guy doesn't look like someone who just makes shit up. ]

I doubt you'll get one. The powers that be aren't very open about shit. I mean the fucktards that kidnapped us haven't even gotten punished for it. There's some real fucked up shit going on, man. And unless we grab someone in power and put a gun to their heads, I doubt they're going to talk.

Given what just happened? I think bringing a gun would be to our own disadvantage.

[Hate to be a downer, but here he is, recovering from internal bleeding just from a few overpowered elbow jabs. It'd be easy street to disarm them, even easier to do whatever fucked-up witchcraft that happened that night.]

We've still got each other...to commiserate with, at least. [Oh, right--] So Predator got to you too?

[ He makes a thoughtful humming noise. The guy's got a point. And it would blow to get shot with his own gun if he owned one. ]

Yeah. They got us. The whole Fam-damnily. Kidnapped us. Dragged us out to some county fair somewhere and fucked with us. It was some real bullshit but I'll get those assholes back.

[ Only doing so is going to end badly for him. ]
