Los Angeles-based death metal band ABYSMAL DAWN, and doom metal super group BEREFT, are auctioning off an autographed guitar for the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund.

The auction is now live and can be viewed here.

Here’s what Charles Elliott, vocalist/guitarist for both bands, had to say:

“Hey everyone, I’m auctioning off a guitar I won in a drunken heavy metal karaoke night a few months ago at a Scion event. Proceeds go towards the Sweet Relief charity, the same charity involved with the DEATH TO ALL shows, to help musicians without health insurance cover their medical expenses. All the dudes from

Abysmal Dawn and Bereft autographed this sucker, which means some dudes from INTRONAUT, NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW and THE FACELESS signed it as well. It’s a killer guitar but if you rather not play it I’m sure it will look great hanging in your living room or over your toilet in some glass container.

"Just a little story about how I won the guitar. Scion threw a free heavy metal karaoke party a while back with an open bar. A couple of friends went including MMA fighter Josh Barnett and Cattle Decapitation singer Travis Ryan. A couple of drinks in and I thought it would be fun to get up and sing a song, if only because everyone up to that point was so goddamn awful. I got up and sang 'Behind The Crooked Cross' by SLAYER, Josh did 'Ace Of Spades' by MOTÖRHEAD and Travis did 'Shout Out The Devil' by MÖTLEY CRÜE. Needless to say we brought the house down. By the end of the night, I had unintentionally won a guitar I had no idea I was competing for. Considering I’m a ‘professional’ musician I thought it was a bit unfair that I won the guitar. Also, considering I already have ton of killer guitars from Fernandes Guitars I didn’t really need it. In the end, I figured the noblest thing to do was auction this bad boy off for a good cause.

"So that’s my story. Bid high, bid fast, and good luck!”
