Healer would like to acknowledge the passing of two of Metal's most legendary men "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (Pantera/Damageplan) and Chuck Schuldiner (Death). HEALER vocalist/guitarist Scott Von Heldt issued the following statement today:
"December will no longer just be about Christmas to me, but a time to celebrate the lives and works of two of my biggest influences "Dimebag" Darrell (Pantera/Damageplan) and Chuck Schuldiner (Death) both of which we have lost. Chuck lost his battle with cancer 4 years ago today and nobody can forget the senseless shit that happened in my home state last year on Dec. 8th when Darrell was murdered! Both men exuded greatness in their artestry and a pure connection with the people they loved to make their music for...the fans! I will NEVER forget the gifts that these guys gave to us through their raw talent and pure delivery of honest emotion. GOD BLESS YOU MY BROTHERS!"

Thanks to those who donated to Hurricane Relief!
Posted on 11/08/05
Healer would like to thank all of you that participated in Hurricane Relief through CD Baby.com. The program was amazing! Here are the stats as posted by CD Baby:
"The Red Cross charity promotion we did after Hurricane Katrina finished recently, raising a total of $165,060 paid directly to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund through our local Portland Oregon branch. (You should have seen their faces when we brought in that very first check, in person, for $113,000!)
We donated $40,000 of our own CD Baby money too, in case you were wondering. So - altogether, that's $165,060 from the artists, $40,000 from CD Baby = $205,060 donated. I hope it helps!"
Thanks to all of Healer's fans that bought Cd's during this program!
