TRIVIUM To Headline Charity Concert For Cancer-Stricken Fan

April 11, 2005

Herald-Dispatch.com is reporting that TRIVIUM and LILITU are among the band that are teaming up to throw a 21st party birthday bash concert Friday, April 15, for Charleston, West Virginia resident Adam Weaver, who has been in an all-out war with Hodgkins Lymphoma cancer since he was diagnosed Oct. 8, 2002.

Like the heavy rock music he loves, Weaver has not let cancer take his spirit, and he is not going quietly.

"There are a lot of powerful things in the world that keep you motivated, and music is one of them," Weaver said. "Just watch wrestling and the Undertaker or Hulk Hogan or anybody when they come out. That music helps bring them out and gives them that big explosion. That is what it does for me. It keeps me going, and sometimes it will make me go crazy and have a good time with it."

Weaver, a big time fan of such bands as BLACK SABBATH and SLAYER, should be having a good time Friday, since he was already onto TRIVIUM, long before he found out they were coming in town to rock with him.

"It was kind of weird because none of my friends have been on to them like I have," Weaver said. "These guys are awesome, and I’m really thrilled they're playing at Ozzfest."
