ICED EARTH) is currently

Commented
Ralph: "As most people know, the drummer for
DECAPITATED,
Vitek, lost his life in an auto accident while on tour in November 2007. His singer,
Covan, was seriously injured. He has a very long road to recovery ahead of him, and he and his family face enormous medical costs. At the end of the
Winterfest tour [featuring
DEICIDE,
VADER,
SAMAEL and
DEVIAN], we gave
Vitek's brother,
Wacek (
Waclaw 'Vogg' Kieltyka; guitarist for
VADER), a Jackson Randy Rhoads 24-fret guitar that was signed by the entire tour. This guitar will be auctioned to raise money for
Covan and his family. This guitar was used on
DEICIDE's
'Till Death Do Us Part' album,
OBITUARY's
'Left to Die' EP and many, many tours and festivals. It's also an amazing instrument. This guitar has seen more of the world than you! Please do whatever you can to support this cause!"
