As previously reported, Malevolent Creation guitarist Phil Fasciana was recently hospitalized after suffering from a case of bacterial pneumonia. The musician has since been placed in an induced coma, but has “shown improvement.”

Malevolent Creation commented:

“A brief update on Phil:

There is positive news to share regarding Phil’s condition. However, to understand the gravity of the situation, we need to be fully transparent with the fact that when Phil was admitted to the ICU, he was placed in an induced coma to avoid any intense strain on his cardiovascular system during his intravenous treatment.

Phil has shown improvement, and the doctors are remaining positive based on signs of his recovery, as his infection has almost cleared up! He is slowly being taken off of breathing assistance, and he is responding to his name as they attempt to communicate with him, but he is not out of the woods just yet.

He will likely be in the hospital for another week, at least, but his overall condition is improving. We cannot express enough how much his family, friends, and we as his brothers-in-arms appreciate the continuing thoughts, hopes and prayers directed towards his recovery. We will do our best to provide timely updates as they become available and appropriate, based on further developments.

Horns high, for you, Phil. We love you🙏
