Great News for Nergal

On August 24th, 2010, Adam Darski (aka Nergal), frontman of Polish death metal band Behemoth, made public that he had been diagnosed with leukemia. This came as shocking news to the metal community. The hunt had begun for a genotypic match for bone marrow. Today it was announced that the metal gods smiled upon Nergal and granted him a matching marrow donor.

Treatment for leukemia (and cancer in general) can be very complicated; sometimes treatments can be a success and the patient lives a full and healthy life from there on out. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case. Congratulations to you, Nergal, on being granted a matching donor.

Hails and horns, Nergal, the metal community hopes for you to have a full and swift recovery.

  1. It's good to show people that view bands like this as something disturbing that they actually...aren't. Some of the stereotypes, even for different types of music, is just ridiculous. Good for Nergal!
