I finally started a battle jacket. This one will be a mix of all the things that inspired me over the years and will probably include both metal and punk. I'll eventually try and give it a more chaotic/punk/crust look but with more metal bands on it.
Whilst this jacket won't have a general theme to it I knew from the start that the backpatch had to be Bathory. Quorthons music moves me to this very day and The Return might be my favorite album of all time! However since I couldn't find a return backpatch I decided to go with the self titled. Not a bad choice imho, killer record and killer design!
Nuclear Devastation is a kickass local band. I bought this patch after a badass (and terribly sweaty) gig in a venue called Baroeg. The patch is filthy as it has been on a pair of shorts before.
Dirty Rotten Imbeciles is one of those bands that for me crossed the gap between metal and punk.
And last but certainly not least we have the mighty Sodom. Honestly it's just one of those bands where I like nearly everything they have done. Killer live gigs as well!
Let me know what you think.
