In the aftermath of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, which devastated Florida, LAMB OF GOD frontman Randy Blythe is stepping up to support the victims. He’s auctioning off a rare photo he took of Glenn Danzig leading the SAMHAIN reunion in 2014, hoping to raise funds for those affected by the storms.
All proceeds will benefit PLUS1’s Rapid Relief Fund, which provides immediate aid to communities impacted by natural disasters, conflicts, and humanitarian crises worldwide. You can bid here.
Randy says: “When one of my favorite bands of all time, SAMHAIN, announced that they would be doing some reunion shows in 2014, I immediately made plans to attend as many as possible. I wound up riding the tour bus with them and documenting several of the gigs, but this shot is from the first night I ever got to see them play, at Riotfest in Chicago.
“SAMHAIN played the entire Initium EP and more that evening— I was beyond excited to actually witness the songs live in all their buckets-of-blood-covered glory. I only made a single print of this photo to be included in my latest exhibition on the Headbangers Boat.
“Originally I had planned on gifting it to my friend and SAMHAIN‘s legendary frontman, Glenn Danzig, after the exhibition, but after discussing it with him, together we decided to use it to raise money for people affected by the recent devastation from Hurricane Helene. 100% of proceeds from this Propeller campaign will go to the PLUS1 Rapid Relief Fund, which is currently raising money for Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton relief efforts across several southeastern states. Thank you for the support!”
