Metallica and Rush are contributing to relief efforts in Venezuela after two powerful earthquakes hit the country on June 24.

Metallica has announced a $100,000 donation to Direct Relief through the band's All Within My Hands charity foundation.

"AWMH's $100,000 grant will support Direct Relief as the organization continues to respond to requests in the region as they become known," a press release reads.

Rush has also joined the relief effort by teaming with Venezuelan director and past collaborator David Calcano to create a new T-shirt in support of the country.

Profits from the shirt will be donated to Hogar Bambi, which is helping children affected by the earthquakes.

The shirt is available now through Fantoons. shop.
