From Poland (Gdansk Medical University Hospital) comes the news: Nergal (Adam Darski), the internationally renowned frontman of the blackened death-metal band Behemoth, has been diagnosed with leukemia, and that the disease is at an advanced stage, where unfortunately chemotherapy has no longer any effect. The only way to save his life is a bone marrow transplant. His fiancé Dorota “Doda” Rabczewska has already donated her bone marrow, though it is currently not known if it will be a match.

In light of this Nergal wants to remind everyone about the need to be on the marrow registry. The more people get tested and donate, the more of a chance for life there is for him and people in the same situation. To learn more about how you can register to donate marrow check out: http://www.marrow.org.

The staff of Metal Shock wishes all the best for Nergal, his friends, and his family.
