PATHOLOGY Involved In Serious Van Accident

November 11, 2010

San Diego-based death metallers PATHOLOGY were involved in a serious road accident Wednesday night, November 10. The group, which was in the middle of a North American tour as the support act for NILE, was driving between dates in St. Paul, Minnesota and Seattle, Washington when its van hit black ice outside Bismarck, North Dakota, causing the vehicle to roll a couple times before sliding a few hundred feet. Three members of PATHOLOGY were taken to the hospital but suffered no serious injuries aside from some bumps and bruises and the overall mental stress of the experience. Unfortunately, with no van, trailer and most of the gear damaged, PATHOLOGY has been forced to pull out of the remainder of the NILE tour.

Commented drummer Dave Astor: '[This was the] worst car wreck in my life! [I feel] lucky to be alive. Everything is destroyed! Extremely traumatized. This tour is absolutely over for us. Infuckingsane!"

A photo of the crash scene can can be viewed below.

PATHOLOGY's latest album, "Legacy Of The Ancients", came out on July 6 via Victory Records. The CD was engineered by Jeff Forest (AS I LAY DYING, BLEEDING THROUGH) at Doubletime Studios in the band's home base of San Diego, California and was mixed and mastered by Erik Rutan (CANNIBAL CORPSE, MALEVOLENT CREATION) at Mana Recording Studios in St. Petersburg, Florida. The album cover displays an artistic zombie theme, designed by Pär Olofsson (WINDS OF PLAGUE, ANNOTATIONS OF AN AUTOPSY, IMMORTAL).
