Thomas Gabriel Fischer of Triptykon announced on his blog that he was assaulted randomly and broke his right arm. He is in considerable pain and inconvenience since he is right-handed. This news was on the same day the band was announced for the Decibel Magazine Metal And Beer Festival: Los Angeles edition this December, booked to perform a special all Celtic Frost setlist. According to Fischer, the injury will prevent him from playing guitar until late summer. Triptykon is still working on the follow-up release to 2014’s Melana Chasmata, released via Prowling Death/Century Media Records. Get well soon Tom!

“Once my right arm, shattered in an unprovoked, ultra-violent, and drug-fuelled attack, has healed sufficiently, I will again be able to tend to the rapidly accumulating emails in a far more timely manner. According to the doctors who are tending to me, this should occur sometime in August. As my arm is entombed in a full-length cast right now, I am rather clumsy with my utterly unprepared left hand, and writing (and everything else) is a quite challenging proposition at the moment. The hospital staff felt sufficient pity to at least provide me with a suitably black cover for the cast.”
