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/

Really? You're just going to sit there and blubber?

[This is, after all, something important enough to Krieg to put himself in harm's way just to get answers. Not to get even, not to get justice, just answers.]

Say something, damn it.

[ Greg sits back in his chair. He runs a hand through his hair, then cups it over his mouth, thinking. Why is this so hard? ]

Krieg, do you have any connections out there?

[ He's staring hard at his lap. ]

I'm not talking musical, I'm talking like... a place to live. Or a bank account Virgo doesn't own, or... anything.

[ Literally the only thing Greg can think of owning that didn't belong to Virgo was his car. And he doesn't know where even that is, anymore. ]

This isn't me saying no, man, I don't care about having a cushy life or whatever. But it's something we gotta do with a plan.

[Finally, something to work with. Plans aren't exactly Krieg's style, but...working towards a goal will make him feel a little bit better about being stuck between a rock and a hard place.]

I used to. Had to leave it all behind when we signed on. [A beat.] I'll see what I can do. Just...help me to keep on schedule so I don't fixate on it.

[The label wants them to make music, and they'll have to keep it up to keep them off his tail.]
