You can now donate to help James “Human Furnace” Bulloch of Ringworm after surgery

Following medical complications from a recent surgery, Ringworm singer James “Human Furnace” Bulloch has been the beneficiary of a crowdsourcing effort, as per theprp. Integrity singer Dwid Hellion and Hatebreed guitarist Frank Novinec, a Ringworm veteran, started that effort. GoFundMe is where you can find it. Dwid and Frank discussed this issue.

James “Human Furnace” Bulloch is a talented tattoo artist and, as many of you know, the singer for Ringworm and Gluttons. Recently, James had to undergo surgery, which has put his life and career on hold. As a result, he is unable to work at the tattoo shop for at least a month, and it will be several months before he can return to performing with his bands. This sudden change has created a lot of uncertainty and stress, both emotionally and financially.

During this recovery period, the bills don’t stop coming. Medical expenses are adding up, and without his regular income from tattooing and performing, it’s tough to keep up with everyday living costs. We (Frank and Dwid) started this fundraiser to help ease that burden, so James can focus on healing without the added worry of how to pay for essentials.

Thanks in advance to everyone who supports James during this challenging time. Every bit of help means the world and brings him one step closer to getting back to doing what he does best—creating art and music for the community

The band announced their signing to Relapse Records in 2013. They released three more albums with the label before switching to Nuclear Blast in 2023. Human Furnace is a vocalist for both the solo act Holyghost and the Cleveland metal band Gluttons. The 2016 animated movie “The Secret Life of Pets” included the song “Life After the End of the World” from the band’s 2005 album “Justice Replaced By Revenge”.
