Band Shirts

[AshDLS]

Morothe: How did you make the Carcass shirt? I've been wanting to make some shirts for bands who never released any merchandise.

Carcass did t-shirts! Or didn't they? Well... okay... maybe the ones I saw were bootlegs, I really don't know. But they had that wide, flat, angular kinda logo they use, along with some artwork which I've totally forgotten now.

Shit, probably around 80-100 shirts and about 10 hooded sweatshirts.

Holy fuck, man.

For no particular reason I did a t-shirt count recently. Turns out I have 74, but I wasn't specifically counting metal t-shirts. They probably make up about 3/4 of my t-shirts though. The bands that I have the most t-shirts from would be Ulver, Dead Can Dance and Agalloch (four each). I've gone through about six t-shirts of various Devin Townsend-related stuff but I've sold some of them (plus heaps of others) since.

My favourites:
Ulver - Trolsk Sortmetall
Agalloch - grey "Heathen Pride"
Woods Of Ypres - white w/ logo (naturally )
Corrupted - El Mundo Frio
Thorr's Hammer - logo and Thor image (I've probably worn this most often over the past year)
Destruction - Mad Butcher (not that I wear it that often, but I like it just cause it's sentimentally attached to some funny memories involving Schmier)

I've gotta stop buying these bloody things... Plus I've told myself "no more black t-shirts", heh.

Where did you find Agalloch one?? I'd love one.

My mate ordered it from The End Records website... It had better arrive!

 

[SPLASTiK]

I have somewhere around 70 shirts...
Newest ones being Agalloch (from the CD boxset) and a Wolves in the Throne Room shirt.

Agalloch was selling some of their leftovers from the European tour but I'm broke and didn't snag one. Apparently they're making a bunch of new merch that will be available in a couple months.

 

[AshDLS]

Any idea what those Agalloch tour leftovers were? There's some turd on eBay ("sailor_ari" I think it is) constantly flogging off bootleg Agalloch crap, and people keep bidding on it. :-\

WITTR sell their gear for damn good prices though, just have to wait a while for it to arrive if you live in a place like Australia, heh. And the logo on that t-shirt is one of the most illegible things I've ever seen.

You can see the design (and buy from) here. They're out now, but I guess the point is, watch that space.

Also, for those looking for Agalloch shirts, I suggest periodically checking The End mailorder, or you might try ordering from Grau, Agalloch's euro distributer. (personally I haven't, but I can't imagine that they're not reliable.) They list all kinds of shirts.


I don't have many shirts...

Had a Meshuggah - Nothing shirt, but it was too small so I gave it to my brother.

also have...
Katatonia - Great Cold Distance
Evoken - Antithesis of Light

Peachy has the link for the shirts. Stay tuned.

If it's the same eBay guy I'm thinking of, he does lots of bootleg stuff:

Yeah WITTR is very inexpensive. Speaking of which, I need to e-mail them again in regards to Diadem on vinyl. When I asked in early December they said contracts had been signed and everything to press one so I wonder when they'll start selling... At a party once when we were all drunk I asked some people if they could guess what the shirt said and they were pretty sure there weren't any letters there That and completely boggled minds by telling them .999 repeating is exactly equal to 1.

Awwwwwwww sssssssssshhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiit... I stopped checking The End Records forum on a daily basis just cause not much had been happening recently, and then I miss that. It's an excellent design.

Although I'd feel kind of odd wearing a t-shirt for a tour I never went to. I have one of their "Heathen Winter 2004 Tour" t-shirts but I never wear it, I'm thinking of selling it (or turning it into patches).

 

[Katatonica]

i love all my katatonia t-shirts... i have like 13... i think the black on black might be my fave...i also have two hoodies..
then my Nargaroth logo tee is in my faves (im wearing it right now) and lastly a Gorgoroth tee i stole off my boyfriend

 

[Morothe]

holy shit, 13! you really like katatonia dont you

 

[Katatonica]

it's the only band that has my unconditional love

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Unconditional love, eh?
Alas to sound like a broken record, but I mainly dig their older stuff...
Brave Murder Day, Sounds of Decay, Saw you Drown, + bits of the earlier demos + eps... BMD is such a great album... *angel smiley*

 

[chrisdoig24k]

Balls, I double posted. Meaning I've triple posted! w00t w00t!

Yeah, I reserved a shirt and hoodie from that batch. I'm kind of a fanboy lol.

 

[sdmf2]
