Progressive/neo-classical metal label LION MUSIC have stepped up in the aftermath of the earthquake that devastated Japan last week with a benefit effort. They have issued the following update:

“Millions have been affected by the tsunami following the massive earthquake off the coast of Japan. All at Lion Music have been deeply saddened by the terrible recent and ongoing events to have hit the country.

Instead of sitting watching events unfold and doing nothing we are in the process of putting together a benefit album from which all artist royalties and the label profits shall be donated to the Red Cross benefit for the victims of the March 2011 Earthquake and Tsunami in Japan.

If you’d like to make a donation to the Japanese Red Cross Emergency Relief NOW visit this location.

Alternatively, search online for Red Cross and your country name, from there you should be able to find out how to make a donation in your country’s arm of the charity for the Japan earthquake and tsunami appeal.

Full details of the benefit album (artists/tracks) are currently being worked on and will appear here very soon. Pre-orders will also be taken shortly so please keep checking back here.”
