Ripple Music Auctioning Earthen Grave Test Pressing for Family of Jason McCash
As they have several times over the last couple years when a worthy cause arises, the good people of Ripple Music have put together a charity auction for the family of late The Gates of Slumber bassist Jason McCash. True to McCash‘s impact on Midwestern doom as a member of the aforementioned pioneering trio and as the founder of the Templars of Doom fest, it’ll be a test-pressing of Chicago doomers Earthen Grave‘s self-titled 2LP up now on eBay with all proceeds going to the McCash family.
You don’t need me to tell you this is worth your support. You already know. Click here to go to the auction.
The first of several tribute/benefit shows for McCash took place this past weekend in Indianapolis, and the True Templar of Doom benefit is set for July 12 at The Sidebar in Baltimore, Maryland. Info on that is here.

RIPPLE MUSIC launches benefit auction for the family of Jason McCash of The Gates Of Slumber
Nearly a month ago, the metal community lost a brother, a father, a husband, a friend, and a comrade when Jason McCash of Indianapolis doom outfit The Gates of Slumber passed away at the young age of 37. The entire extended heavy-music family has felt the effects of the tragedy and, in times like this, it’s more important than ever that we gather together to help one another and show the love and support we so vehemently stand for.
Ripple Music has a long-standing tradition of donating all proceeds from auctions of its rare test pressings to charity, so when the time came to let go of this beautiful 2XLP test-press copy of Earthen Grave’s debut album, it was clear that the money should go to the family of Jason McCash.
For more information, or to bid on this gorgeous, rare test-pressing, head to THIS LOCATION.
