The travails of EVILE guitarist, Ol Drake and his jaw injury have been well documented. After suffering a random blackout whilst walking on the street, Ol fell face first into the pavement. Since then he has suffered from the effects of a broken jaw, having to correct it by wiring it shut for 2 weeks. In addition, the bottom of Ol's jaw was severely lacerated during the incident.

Here for the first time is a picture (left) of what the gash at the bottom of Ol's jaw looks like (careful, it's not for the squeamish).

Ol had previously described the incident at great length through a blog post on Evile's MySpace page:

"Outside the Waterfront in Rotterdam (which is literally AT the water front), I started to get blurred vision. Next thing I knew i'm being woken up by two of the Satyricon guys. I just thought, "oh shit, what happened?". I couldn't feel my jaw, so I didn't notice anything at first. If i was any nearer the water; bye bye.

There was a big pool of blood under where my head had been, so I wondered where it came from. One of the guys said my teeth were covered in blood so its probably a broken tooth. I checked my teeth and found one quite out of alignment and thought "woo".

Then I felt my beard (which probably cushioned the blow making this alot less serious) was drenched in blood. Other than this looking very cool, I wondered where it came from. So i stick my fingers into my beard, then i'm suddenly touching my jaw bone. As in....touching the actual bone, and other squishy Peter Jackson-esque things. I look down at my fingers and they're dark red, drenched in blood. Then I realised I might be in trouble.

We woke Matt up (who simeltaneously having a dream that i'd fallen off something??) and called an ambulance. I was asked if i was OK again, and I noticed my teeth were making new friends with teeth they'd never met before. Ie, my jaw was in the totally wrong place. I felt my face and there was a huge jaw bone on one side, and a gap on the other."
