Guitarist Shaune Kelley (who toured extensively with Hate Eternal last year) also reports that founding Dim Mak frontman has stepped down, and since been replaced by longtime friend Joseph Capizzi. Kelley's statement can be viewed below:

Sometimes some of the most creative music is derived from the combination of artists from different spectrums of the music world. One such band has undoubtedly created a sound for themselves and caught the attention of Century Media Records recently. Mick Kenney is a highly respected titan of vitriolic underground metal in the form of his legendary band Anaal Nathrakh and Brandan Schieppati is best known as the curator of Bleeding Through, one of the most aggressive and innovative American metal bands in recent memory.

According to a posting on the Polish-language version of Behemoth's official web site, the band's 33-year-old leukemia-stricken guitarist/vocalist, Adam "Nergal" Darski, has found a bone marrow donor that is a genetic match. He will soon undergo radiation to destroy his old bone marrow — where blood is made but which also contains the leukemia cells — and replace it with healthy donor bone marrow, which will then — hopefully — go on to produce healthy blood.
