Our friend and dedicated Photographer Stephen Buvalla suffered a severe injury while shooting Dying Fetus on September 30th in Fort Worth Texas.

After being rushed to hospital by an ambulance he got X Rays and was told he fractured his patella into 4 pieces.

He underwent surgery and spent several days in the hospital before having to fly home and obviously needing to leave the tour. Not only will the hospital bills be quite large but he also has lost out on months of work as he needs time to recover.

All of us in Dying Fetus were devastated by the departure of him on the tour and the severity of his injuries.

We are hoping that fans and colleagues in the industry can help by donating to cover some of the costs of his surgery and hospital visit. Anything helps and we would like to wish Stephen a speedy recovery to get back on the road soon.
