Chuck Schuldiner, founder of seminal Florida metal outfit and former Roadrunner act Death, has spent the last 2 years fighting a life threatening bout with brain cancer.

A few Roadrunner acts - Slipknot, Fear Factory, Spineshank, and Chimaira - have pitched in for the cause. There is currently an auction being held at www.allbeat.com

wherein all proceeds will go to help Chuck pay for the expensive, experimental treatments being used in an effort to save his life.

Items available for bidding include a Fear Factory Gold Obsolete Record and autographed photos and cd's from Spineshank, along with the Ultimate Chimaira Fan Pack which includes an unreleased demo CD of band rehearsals and Chimaira fucking around in the rehearsal room, unreleased 5 minute promotional video for "Dead Inside" (featuring never before seen behind the scenes and live footage), a signed long sleeve Chimaira T-shirt and windbreaker, signed Andols Herrick drumsticks, a signed drum head, Custom Chimaira guitar picks, a signed This Present Darkness CD AND a (REAL)Chimaira Laminate (Backstage) Pass.

What is Slipknot contributing to the cause? "I'm gonna try to find something from my personal collection that maybe nobody can find," Corey Taylor tells. "Chuck's music was really important to me growing up. So I wanna auction something that's really cool that can hopefully bring in top dollar."

Other artists auctioning goods away include KORN , Disturbed, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Godsmack, and Kid Rock.

note - Death was previously on Roadrunner Records, releasing the classic Symbolic LP in 1995. If you have yet to hear them, check them out. As Mark Hunter (Chimaira) tells, "this (Death) has been one of my favorite bands since I was about 10 years old." As Corey Taylor describes, "Chuck's music was really important to me growing up. It was really intricate and interesting."

Korn frontman Jonathan Davis and renowned filmmaker and artist Clive Barker (Hellraiser) have joined forces with composer Richard Gibbs to create a unique interactive DVD, set for release on Sony later this year. The disc will feature 12 original paintings by Barker with musical compositions by Davis and Gibbs. The music will be mixed in 5.1 Surround Sound in order to create a full three-dimensional experience that will redefine that way the world looks at art.

Davis notes: "We've set out to create a new medium unlike any other, combining the elements of art, beauty, music and horror with state-of-the-art technology--a post-millennium coffee table book for your DVD player." Barker elaborates: "This is a ground-breaking project unifying state of the art music with paintings pulled from the depths of my unconscious." Meanwhile, Gibbs says: "Jon [Davis] is definitely the most musically twisted brain I have ever worked with. And now for us to collaborate with a multi-demented soul like the one and only Clive Barker...I don't know what's going to happen, but I hope the authorities have been alerted."

This interactive work will transform a television or computer into a new artistic medium. Each Barker image will be displayed while Davis and Gibbs' music leads the viewer on a journey through the landscapes of their combined imaginations. Viewers can also experience commentary from Barker, Davis and Gibbs while looking at an image. In addition, they'll have the unique opportunity to watch DAVIS and Gibbs compose music to one of the paintings and can conversely watch Barker paint while listening to DAVIS and Gibbs' music. This project marks the first time Davis, Barker and Gibbs have worked together. Davis and Gibbs have a longstanding relationship and recently wrote and produced songs featured in the forthcoming film Queen Of The Damned. The film--set for release by Warner Brothers next year--is based on the third novel in Anne Rice's "Vampire Chronicles" and was directed by Michael Rymer. Davos is currently in the studio with Korn, recording the follow-up to 1999's triple-platinum "Issues" with producer Michael Beinhorn. The band's CD is due out later this year on Immortal/Epic.
