In the wake of the awful accident last year that killed two people and left The Ghost Inside’s drummer without a leg, the reaction from friends and fans alike has been nothing short of inspirational. Drummer Andrew Tkazyk has started playing drums again despite his loss, Epitaph is donating all the proceeds of the band’s music sales towards their hospital stay and recovery, and even though the Vans Warped Tour just announced this year’s crop of bands, they’ve already named an act for next year – The Ghost Inside.

So while they have a lot of recovery still, the metal and hardcore community is rallying around them. Bring Me the Horizon even donated $10,000 to the band. While they’re not on a major label like BMTH is, even Stray From the Path is getting involved, releasing a new song that will see all the proceeds go towards TGI. Here’s what the band says about the song:

We have been touring for the better part of our career. Our first national tour was with The Warriors, Elysia and The Ghost Inside (tour was sick). It was one of The Ghost Inside’s first national tours as well, with bands that were big names to us, and we did it together. This was back in 2008, and we’ve remained best friends
ever since. We’ve toured the world together, we’ve shared a bus together on Warped Tour, Vigil sang on two of our records, we did a lot. When they crashed, we were in Europe and we were about to go on stage. We couldn’t care less about playing, because we weren’t sure if the people that were very close to us were alive or not. Right before our set, I got a call from Zach’s phone and it was
Jim. He grabbed a random phone on his way to the ambulance, and told us to spread the word that right now they were alive, but people have been airlifted to the hospital and that’s all he knew.
