Attackhead Realeases Debut CD with 5% of all profits benefiting
the Melanoma Research Foundation
The Southern California heavy metal band, “Attackhead” has partnered with the New Jersey-based Melanoma Research Foundation (MRF) to help raise funds for melanoma research and education. Attackhead is donating five percent of all profits from the sales of its merchandise to the non-profit organization.
The decision to partner with the MRF came after Mark Chapman’s, lead singer/guitarist of Attackhead, father died in July 2005 from complications caused by melanoma. Chapman hopes this partnership will raise funds and educate a younger audience about the dangers of melanoma.
“Many people do not understand the seriousness of melanoma,” said Chapman. “Attackhead is proud to support the work of the Melanoma Research Foundation.”
Attackhead was formed in late 2002 by Chapman. The band has been described as “skull crushing heavy metal with an old school edge.” Attackhead has been performing in the Southern California area and is gaining a good reputation in the music industry. Attackhead self-produced their full length debut CD “Voices in the Dark.” in late 2007 and has been receiving radio airplay on internet radio stations and podcasts throughout Canada, the US and UK.
“We are very grateful to Attackhead for their commitment to melanoma education,” said Linda Pilkington, executive director of MRF. We hope this partnership will generate additional visibility about the importance of early detection.”
Americans have a one in 60 lifetime risk of developing melanoma, and approximately 53,000 cases of invasive melanoma are expected to be diagnosed this year. Estimates suggest that one in 50 will be diagnosed in 2010. In fact, melanoma is the primary cause of cancer death in women 25 to 30 years old and the number two cause of cancer death, after breast cancer, in women 30 to 35 years old. The average life span for someone with advanced melanoma is less than one year.
Attackhead’s CD can be purchased on the Web at
