HELMET guitarist Chris Traynor is currently auctioning a whole bunch of his pedals, guitars, rack equipment, and more via eBay, accoring to a posting on the group's web site. There's too many items to link to each of them, but you can view the seller's auction list here. Most of the items there belonged to Chris, and many were used on HELMET's "Aftertaste" tour.

HELMET are continuing to tour in support of their new album, "Size Matters", which was released last October through Interscope Records. The CD was recorded by Ryan Boesch, Chris Holmes, and former NINE INCH NAILS keyboardist Charlie Clouser at Cello studios (formerly Western Recorders) in Hollywood as well as Charlie's personal studio, and was produced by mainman Page Hamilton, Clouser and Jay Baumgardner. Joining Hamilton in the reactivated seminal hard rock act are Traynor and former WHITE ZOMBIE/TESTAMENT drummer John Tempesta (bassist Frank Bello recently left the group to join the reunited "classic" lineup of ANTHRAX).
