* Trevor Phipps (Unearth)
* Marta Demmel (Bleeding Through)
* Shane Embury (Napalm Death)

* Jay Webster (UnityTX)
* Jeffrey Moreira (Poison The Well)
* Brian Wille (Currents)

Each box will be signed by the artist.
War Machine Custom Merchandising’s Ro Kohli said the following about the project:
“The idea came to me after last year’s Headbangers Boat. I spoke with my wife and said, ‘I wonder if they would let War Machine Custom Merchandising do custom ‘pop’ style figurines for next year’s cruise of some of the band members?’ We contacted Sixthman (promoter of the Headbangers Boat) and they were extremely receptive to it and loved the idea of doing these as a silent auction for charity.
When War Machine Custom Merchandising does our customs, we don’t use ANY 3D printing, molds or casting so each of our figurines are unique pieces of art. Our project leader, Jeromy Pendergraft, painstakingly creates these amazing works of art and is also a dedicated fan of heavy metal. We also made a special box that’s specifically for this year’s Headbangers Boat to add to the uniqueness of these figurines.”
The proceeds from this silent auction will be split between two amazing charities, Environmental Bamboo Foundation and To Write Love On Her Arms. The Environmental Bamboo Foundation is a global Restoration Economy program, designed to reforest degraded lands and turn them into sustainable resources for our community and our planet and To Write Love On Her Arms is a non-profit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide.
In the end, we just want people to have fun and to have the opportunity to bid on a unique one-of-a-kind figure from one of their favorite bands. We feel this is a great opportunity to honor the bands and their fans. We really hope people love these as much as we loved making them.
War Machine Custom Merchandising would love to thank Sixthman, all the bands that participated in this amazing project, and especially THE FANS. As metalheads ourselves, War Machine Merch is committed to helping to show the world that when you put your mind to something, it’s incredible what can be accomplished. We’re hoping to make a sizable amount of money to help these non-profits continue to do the amazing work they do.”
