The Analyst has issued the following regarding the recent hospitalization of guitarist Alex Wilkinson:

"Our guitarist and best friend Alex was hospitalized late Friday, November 13th (Friday the 13th) as he suffered major injuries from falling from a ladder. Alex was nearly 30 feet in the air when the ladder he was on collapsed beneath him and he fell to a concrete floor shattering his right wrist in several places and fracturing his left wrist. Alex was rushed to a South Bend, IN hopital and then immediately sent to a specialist in Indianapolis, IN for days of surgery. His left arm will be in a cast until late December and his right arm will be in a cast for about 3 months leaving him with no ability to use his arms, hands, fingers, etc. The doctors are unsure of how his right hand will heal seeing that he has no feeling in his fingers yet, but they are optimistic that will be able to play guitar again as he heals and starts his physical therapy.

"Unfortunately this postpones the announcement of our album to be released in January 2010 on Innerstrength Records called 'Age of the Sun.' We were scheduled to send out all press releases this week to announce the release and recording details of 'Age of the Sun,' but obviously the release will be postponed until Alex has recovered. We're even more so excited about releasing this album and getting back on our feet because it will reflect Alex's hard work through his lengthy recovery. Please stick with us and stay tuned for announcements as we'll be uploading a new myspace design, press releases, free downloads, tshirts, hoodies, and longsleeves. Please feel free to leave Alex a message anywhere on our Myspace for us to show him."
