In what seems like the darkest of times for Florida Death Metal bands, singer / frontman Erik Rutan has been hospitalized in Iowa City with an infection in his hand, as well as problems with his kidneys. Given that Erik has had issues with his kidneys before, the band isn't taking any chances. The U.S. tour has been cancelled while Erik get's better. 

Details are still limited to what's on the bands MySpace page, but it appears that Erik was admitted to the hospital last week. He's scheduled to stay in the hospital for another week.
