This the original Retribution shirt from Blue Grape. It is very, very, very rare, as far as I know this is the second known copy, the other being in Belgium. And there is also a picture of a guy wearing it in Malaysia or Indonesia, not sure!

Ravishing Grimness said: Damn,really missed out on a great Burzum tour!;)
Great shirt.Actually I have almost the same one,it's a re-print version.Plus I have a really large patch of the frontprint :)
Profanum said: Still love that DT patch. Even though parts of to got covered by other patches. Love most of the bands on this vest, specially the Power Metal ones. Hope to see if you do another vest seeing as this might remain like this according to the description.
Ravishing Grimness said: Thanks :) Cool!Yeah,think Hypocrisy most definitely is one of the first of those bands from Sweden who put a stamp on the sound for what it is today.Actually they started a whole complete revolution in exploring the boundaries of Swedish DM.Peter is just a genius,and all of his projects (Pain,The Abyss) have always been a great success.
Blüdrayne said: thanks. I'm not so much worried about UV protection as I am about the ability to resist peeling... I'll try with nail polish and hope it works.
lak89 said: I just looked that up on google and the spray and the acrylic paint both have UV resisting functions, but if nail polish does you fine then you might as well just stick to it.
lak89 said: Hey thanks man, I have since redone the entire front and part of the back on this vest, all but 2 of my printed patches on the front have been replaced by woven or embroidered ones. There is some very slight wear on those already but it's noticeable if you examine closely, so with the spray it has held up reasonably well for almost 2 years.

Plague said: Urgehal, Watain, Sargeist, and CF...great bands \m/ Lots of good looking patches on there!
meaningless said: i had the same feeling as i saw them live. Music is (sorry to say that) kinda boring...and were lost on stage against Bolt Thrower/Behemoth/Marduk... (i saw them on 2 years ago on metalfest)..TDB were the last act of the night (after Bolt Thrower)
metal_thrashing_dad said: I ordered the clear vinyl version from the N.B. online shop. In my opinion, Album of the Year so far!!!
iambadcompany said: so was it your initial reaction to take a picture after your insides begin to bleed from slayer lol AWESOME <3
metal_thrashing_dad said: Yeah, it's not grammatically correct, it should be with "i" instead of "y". But it makes a perfect logo so...who cares? Thanks for the comment.
meaningless said: dont worry...sometimes i think the same and ask myself: i have the wrong work? why i dont have that much time? ;P ..seems i made something wrong in the past..hehe

THAT'S SICK!!! i've been looking for it everywhere..but i guess it's impossible..so jealous!
The guy in Belgium is selling his for 200 euros if you are willing to give that kind of money...
Jasad! Awesome band. Anybody got any of their shirts?
I have some, interest?
Cool! If you can provide a picture that would be awesome, I would love to have proof of the 3rd known copy. I have no idea why this shirt is so fucking rare. I would love to know how many actual copies were made, for all I know it must be a two-digit number at the highest. Never, ever seen this one for offer apart from the dude in Belgium I mentioned.
thats a pretty awesome print, cant believe they only made 3 of them?
I can't believe it either. But I can't imagine they made more than 50 for example because dammit, somewhere, somehow this would have popped up. A guy in the shirtchaser forum said he never saw it in a Blue Grape catalogue or flyer. Our best guess is that perhaps they made a first batch then cancelled the production for whatever reason. I've only seen the Charles Manson print for the Retribution tour.
I would love to know the whole story behind this shirt. I didn't even know I owned one of the rarest (THE rarest?) death metal shirt until I joined the shirtchaser forum and bumped into the discussion about the other copy. I would have traded it for some pretty common shirts compared to this. Got lucky there! :P
Guys, i may have an opportunity to ask Brett Hoffman from malevolent creation about this tshirt, what should i ask him? "if its true that the production got canceled mid printing run?" ?
Just ask him why is it near impossible to find a '92 blue grape retribution shirt, telling him that only 3 copies are known so far etc, I would love to hear his response!
Alrite, i'll try! what about the artwork in general? might find out who the artist is too
That's Dan Seagrave.
Seagrave , familiar name... i did a search, Morbid angel - Alters of madness cover,early Entombed LP covers, Carnage, Dismember, Malevolent Creation, Suffocation, Desecrator, Resurrection, etc.
I just saw the link in the homepage, oh my! Well, I wouldn't call this the rarest shirt in metal, I would call it one of the rarest in death metal. I know there are some rare as fuck Metallica shirts from the demo days, something like 5-6 copies ever manufactured.
This one seems to have ended in 3 very different places (Greece, Belgium, Indonesia) so it MUST have been produced in larger numbers, I'm just really, really curious about the story. I can't think of any legitimate reason why this of all the Blue Grape shirts of the time is so fucking elusive. Perhaps, if there's some buzz around it, more copies will start surfacing.
thats what im trying todo :) let's see what happens!
Seriously, of course not. If you actually read the comments you will see that's already been mentioned. The question is how many exactly were printed and why this baby is so rare.
Sucks it is rare... I want one.
I've seen this listed by Bluegrape in my Motorhead CD. It's listed along with a shirt for Stillborn.
Can you scan that please? PLEASE? :)
BTW, I seem to have located another copy, again in Greece, seen it in a myspace picture, worn by an old thrash/death fan who lives in Athens. 4 copies!
I'll take a pic with my phone and see if I can upload it.
Send me your email. I'll send you a photo and you can upload it.
vic@ics.forth.gr
I have an original Acts of the Unspeakable Autopsy shirt that might be as rare as this, i'll upload it soon.
I also have a Possessed shirt that has only 300 prints and signed by Jeff Beccarra, kind of rare?
incredible shirt. for me, this album was the 'Thriller' of death metal.
No, the rarest shirt is the Gig shirt from Pestilence and Autopsy in the early 90´s in UK!
The funny story is, that this concert was canceled, so the shirt never going in public hands!
See one time a shirt at ebay, for over 300 pounds!
The shirt looks awesome, wish, i have one, hehe!
I saw that tour in Cleveland with Obituary, Cannibal Corpse and Agnostic Front. It was my first concert actually. I was 15. I still have my autographed cassette of Retribution and Butchered At Birth. I actually missed MC, which bummed me out because they were the band I wanted to see the most. If there were any Retribution tour shirts, they had sold out by the time the tour hit Cleveland as I had to buy a "Ten Commandments" shirt that was a total piece of shit crooked print job with ink smears and stuff. Fucking Blue Grape.
Coveted
And let the bidding begin! : D http://bit.ly/jPjWeh
this is the same actual tshirt ?
Nope, that's not my shirt. And it says it has tourdates, which would make that one the only copy I know of with tourdates. Shame there is no back picture.
This is the second time I see an original on ebay. The other time was the Belgium copy I mention in the description.
So, 4+1 copies! With this rate, in ten years there will be twenty known copies! What happened with those questions to Brett Hoffman about this design? Apparently there is a tour version, it was on a Blue Grape catalogue but somehow it's nigh impossible to track. Why the hell is that? Maybe all the original owners wore them to hell or don't want to part with them or smth?
The person I knew who know's Brett Hoffman pretty well hasnt been in contact much with him so it's all a bit distant at the moment, I know she did ask him about tshirtslayer but he hasnt joined us yet. Maybe i'll try to email him directly!
a new one posted .. http://tshirtslayer.com/item/malevolent-creation-orig-tshirt
