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/

[If you're one of the poor souls that has to have Krieg added on twitter, or you're one of those few that don't mind listening to his discordant stream of consciousness, here's a few samples of the kind of stuff he posts a few times a day. Welcome, Interstellar, to your very own "Weird Twitter".]
