SKITZO Frontman Hospitalized, Album Release Pushed Back

March 20, 2007

Lance Ozanix of the California-based band SKITZO was admitted to the hospital late last night after suffering from severe stomach pain. After being seen by the emergency doctor, it has been concluded that Lance has a Mallory-Weiss tear. His doctors say this is a major complication due to his repeated antics on stage of vomiting on himself and fans.

This comes just a month before the release of the band's latest full-length album "Five Point Containment". Open Grave Records' James Mattern said in a statement, "We are really upset to hear about Lance. He's a great guy and a hell of a performer. We hope he gets well soon.'

Due to the vomiting virtuoso's recent malaise and SKITZO needing to add a few finishing touches on the album, the release date for "Five Point Containment" will be pushed back from May 15 to June 26. The CD includes special guest appearances by Jeff Becerra (POSSESSED),Phil Demmel (VIO-LENCE, MACHINE HEAD),Sickie (THE MENTORS),and John Marshall (METAL CHURCH, BLIND ILLUSION).
