We have always supported community charities and organisations. Compton Hospice does outstanding work in supporting people with life limiting illnesses and their families throughout the West Midlands. Some of us at Revolver have had friends blighted by terminal illness who have been supported by hospices, so we speak from the heart when we say that hospices play a critical – and largely unsung – role in recuperative and palleative care.
Compton is one of many hospices around the UK supporting those suffering from illness who cannot receive the care they require through the mainstream NHS. We’re helping with their Grand Re-opening today (the 5th of August) by releasing their charity single – “One Life” – performed by Dan Callow. Proceeds from single sales go to Compton Hospice, so please – even in these difficult times – consider pledging just a little (less than £1) to help the Hospice continue its invaluable work helping those who are suffering.
Who knows, perhaps someone you know or love may be helped by Compton Hospice one day!
You can buy the “One Life” single right now:
just head over to iTunes to get your copy.
On behalf of ourselves and Compton Hospice, thank you for your support!
Matt Seddon of the online Heavy Metal Webzine ‘Metal Rules’ recently reviewed Hellfighter’s latest album ‘Damnation’s Wings’ (2011);
“Before I got this to review, I can safely I say, I did not have a clue who Hellfighter where. But after being blown away by every single song on their latest album entitled Damnation’s Wings, it is safe to say that it is a must have for any metal fan in 2011! With fast paced riffs and one hell of a powerful metal voice, Hellfighter manage to bring the thunder with their thrash metal masterpiece which not only is the best thrash album of 2011 thus far, but possibly the best thrash metal release you will have heard in a long time!”
