The Rotted guitarist Tim Carley re-visits his gore past and chops off top of finger!

Today, Wednesday 6th July Tim Carley guitarist with The Rotted severed the top of his finger when a 60KG flight case fell on it from van. Tim received treatment in hospital to remove the damaged parts of the finger including the nail and the torn flesh. The doctors then sewed the remaining parts back together. The incident has left the top of Tim's bone unattached to the rest of the finger, which the doctors have said in time will heal.

In a statement Tim said, 'The doctors have told me the fracture will take at least 10 weeks to heal. When I asked her if I could still play the guitar, she replied 'I've heard your records and to be honest I can't see this making much difference'. The rest of the guys in the band call me Timmy Iommi because of the riffs I wrote for the new album. Today, I got one step to close to walking in the great mans shoes. Unlike half the musicians in metal magazines I'm not a moaning little girl so I'm playing Obscene Extreme, Dong Openair and Bloodstock with 3 fucking fingers and there is nothing that fate, karma and all the other bastards that mock me can do about it. The power of d-beats, blast beats and heavy metal shall never die!'

The accident happened at 11am and by 7pm, tim was back home and rehearsing for Obscene Extreme Festival this saturday.

Check the video, warning contains some unpleasent photos!
