Metallica and Rush are contributing to relief efforts in Venezuela, which has been devastated by a pair of powerful earthquakes that hit the country on June 24.

Metallica has announced a $100,000 donation to the organization 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.

Meanwhile, Rush has teamed up 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.
