Before Cannibal Corpse<\/a> guitarist Pat O\u2019Brien suffered an apparent break from reality last week, he warned his relatives of \u201cthe rapture\u201d and that \u201caliens have landed,\u201d according to Tampa Bay Times<\/a><\/em>. The death-metal mainstay, who has played with the band since 1997 and even once played in Slayer for a spell, was arrested last Monday<\/a> for burglary and assaulting police as his home burnt down in Florida.<\/p>\n

After putting out the flames, fire marshals discovered a makeshift armory in his rubble. He had 50 shotguns, including one that was illegally sawed off, 10 semiautomatic rifles, including ones like AK-47s, two Uzi-style firearms, 20 handguns and two flamethrowers. When the house was burning, there were reports of ammunition going off inside, set off by the heat, though no one was hurt. Despite this, authorities still found thousands of rounds, stored in boxes, metal cans and ammo belts, as well as many other weapons and three skulls. Other than the sawed-off shotgun, the Times<\/em> reports that O\u2019Brien possessed all of these weapons legally.<\/p>\n

The guitarist\u2019s arrest report detailed the night\u2019s events. Just before 7 p.m., he broke into his neighbor\u2019s home. When the people inside asked him to leave, he shouted, \u201cThe rapture is coming.\u201d He subsequently pushed a woman to the ground and ran to the backyard, with neighbors calling 911 and finding O\u2019Brien hiding behind a fence. After police asked him to surrender, he charged at them with a knife. They subdued him with a Taser and noticed his house was on fire. He was booked under charges of aggravated assault on a police officer and burglary.<\/p>\n

A judge ordered O\u2019Brien to undergo testing for drugs and alcohol but later rescinded the demand. He was released on $50,000 bail.\u00a0Reps for Cannibal Corpse last week declined Rolling Stone\u2019s<\/em> request for comment.<\/p>\n

Cannibal Corpse are set to tour in support of Slayer on the next leg of the latter band\u2019s final tour in North America next year. The group has yet to comment on how O\u2019Brien\u2019s arrest will affect the tour.<\/p>\n
