It's no secret that Baroness suffered a very serious bus accident last summer, which left several Baroness members and crew with broken bones. Friends of the band have launched Baroness Relief, an upcoming benefit auction which will help pay the band's mounting medical bills.
Some items that will be auctioned off include Brann Dailor of Mastodon's snare drum that he used during the recording of 2004's Leviathan. Other instruments, signed LPs, posters, and artwork have been donated by Mastodon, Napalm Death, Kylesa, Neurosis, Municipal Waste, Meshuggah, and Red Fang among others.
Facebook and Twitter accounts have been set up by Baroness' "web dude", sound engineer Loopy Fiasco, and Relapse Record's Rennie Jaffe who are organizing the event.
Here's a sweet picture of Mastodon's snare drum used during the Leviathan sessions:
