Turning metal into a weapon for nature.
Committing 100% of all song royalties to reforestation.
Just by listening, you are already donating!
Musicians started this non profit. For the first time, a record label did not sign a band but a 501c3 non profit organization.
100% of the royalties are funding reforestation + protection of wildlife. A team of permanent musician members is composing the music and lyrics and some great guests feature on several songs. Singles and videos are available.
Simply listen and you will be supporting reforestation.
