Drummer Adam Sagan (White Empress, Witherfall, ex-Circle II Circle) was diagnosed with cancer (T-cell lymphoblast lymphoma) last year.

Witherfall vocalist Joseph Michael has issued the following:

“My good friend and musical partner, Witherfall and White Empress drummer Adam Sagan, is going through chemo and fighting lymphoma... A couple of good friends are putting on a concert in Minnesota to help defray the costs of his treatment. I will personally be flying out to help support the cause.

“Also, any profits from sales on this site until the event will be donated to the fund as well... you can shop here. It's understandable if you cannot make the trek for the event but you can also donate directly here.

“For those that will be in the area, here is the Facebook Event Page. The event is on Thursday, March 10th.”

“A gathering of all that is metal for a great cause! Helping out a damn good friend, amazing musician, and all around good guy, Adam Sagan. As most of you know, he was diagnosed with cancer in November of 2015. After learning of his cancer, I immediately went into action to put together a benefit to help raise money for medical costs and other expenses. But why would it be a typical benefit?!? Adam is not a typical human. He is a fucking beast!!! And he is a musician whose passion for his craft superceeds most. This is a gathering of his favorite local metal bands ready to melt our faces off and rock the fuck on, as Adam has done since his diagnosis. Adam will kick cancer's ass and the metal community will be there to keep encouraging him to keep on kicking. So let's do this shit!!”

Bands are as follows:

Gracepoint
The Grande Machine
Tomorrow Brings New Blood
Hatebeast
We Are Legion
Impaler

$20 entry raffles and prizes PBR specials. All proceeds will go towards Adam's cancer fund. More info at this location.
