Lamb of God lanzará EP con homenaje a fanático fallecido a causa del cáncer

Lamb of God publicará un EP con cinco canciones titulado The Duke, el que será en honor a un fanático que falleció luego de cinco años batallando contra el cáncer.

Wayne Ford se hizo amigo del vocalista Randy Blythe en el año 2012, manteniendo contacto constante hasta su muerte el año pasado a la edad de 33 años. Blythe escribió una de las canciones basándose en las conversaciones que tuvo con Ford, su esposa y también sus propios pensamientos.

Ahora, la canción busca atraer atención respecto de la leucemia y de la donación de médula. Además, Blythe subastará uno de sus discos de oro para donar el dinero a la Sociedad de Leucemia y Linfoma de Estados Unidos.

10.18.2016 "The Duke" This is my copy of the Ashes of the Wake gold record- soon it will be available in a charity auction being organized to benefit The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (WWW.LLS.ORG). This auction will coincide with an EP release later this year- the five song EP of two new tracks & 3 live songs is named "The Duke", after the title track of the record. I wrote the song "The Duke" in honor of a fan named Wayne Ford that I briefly got to be friends with during the recording sessions for VII: Sturm und Drang. I had met Wayne a few years previously in AZ- he was battling leukemia. While I was recording our last album, word got to me that Wayne was terminal & would be leaving this world soon. I reached out & we became friends- I found his stoic demeanor in the face of his own imminent death extremely inspiring- he was an amazingly grounded man. When Wayne died, I wrote the lyrics to "The Duke" in his honor. If you want to know the whole story of "The Duke", go to our website, WWW.LAMB-OF-GOD.COM, or our Facebook page. More details about the charity auction & how you can own my gold record (& other items donated by the band) will be released soon. Also you can go to WWW.BETHEMATCH.ORG to get on the bone marrow registry- it's easy, free, & you might save someone's life. Thanks for reading. RIP Wayne Ford, 9/30/1981- 02/03/2015. #fuckcancer #ripwayneford
