After cancelling the rest of their European tour in wake of the Paris terrorist attacks, the Foo Fighters have now released a free five-song EP titled "Saint Cecilia," in honor of the victims of the devastating tragedy that claimed more than 100 lives.

The countdown on the band's website struck zero at midnight on Monday, unveiling a free digital download of the EP, accompanied by a link for visitors to donate to the victims of the attacks in the French capital, according to The New York Times.

Last week, Foo Fighters' frontman Dave Grohl wrote an open letter stating that he hopes "these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world."

Read the full letter below:

"Tonight, Let me begin with a preface to a letter I wrote a few weeks ago from my hotel room in Berlin while on our final tour for this album. I felt the need to write this foreword in light of the heartbreaking tragedies of Nov. 13, as this project has now taken on an entirely different tone. As has everything, it seems...

"The 'Saint Cecilia' EP was put into motion back in October of this year as a celebration of life and music. The concept being that, as our world tour drew to a close this week, we wanted to share our love of both with you in return for everything you have given us.

"Now, there is a new, hopeful intention that, even in the smallest way, perhaps these songs can bring a little light into this sometimes dark world. To remind us that music is life, and that hope and healing go hand in hand with song. That much can never be taken away.

"To all who were affected by the atrocities in Paris, loved ones and friends, our hearts go out to you and your families. We will return and celebrate life and love with you once again someday with our music. As it should be done."
