Bury Your Dead's current U.S. tour as he recovers from a vicious beating outside a Milwaukee, Wisconsin club.

The guitarist was held at gunpoint and beaten with baseball bats after a club show on Saturday night, as part of what is believed to be a gang initiation.

Local police suggest Ellis was the victim of a random attack by six individuals.

A statement from the band reads, "Despite suffering what others would consider serious injuries, Eric and the rest of Bury Your Dead will move forward and continue with their tour alongside Hellyeah. It will take more than this to stop Bury Your Dead."
