My patches collection, most of the are from my old Metal Store that i used to have here at Porto, others are from auctions on the web, and from my teen years purchases from 15 years ago....most were never used, plus my 2 bags with more patches & pins, enjoy!

Just added 8 new patches a friend of mine bought for me when she was in England on vacation.

damn. that evil invaders patch is really nice. One question, whats with the slipknot patch :P ?
Metal Militia on
Thanks for the comment!
The Slipknot pach was bought a long time ago, because i liked a few songs from them at that time, including the one that gives name to the patch(Surfacing), i never liked the masks and their image and so on, but you can't deny there are a few good musicians in that band, and some of them have come from a extreme background, some from grindcore & Death Metal bands bands,and so on... anyway, it is another patch for the collection.
ManOboy on
true enough. I think if they got rid of some of the people that arent really used (like the guys that bash on oil cans and the dj) and if they rid of the masks i would be able to tolerate them. But we where all young once and i wont deny that yes they do have a few good tunes. sick collection btw
Metal Militia on
Thanks for the cool comment!!
Yeah, i totally agree with you....if they cut all that crap from the dj,'s & the 2 guys that bash the oil cans & stuck to writting more cohesive material they would be better than they are now, and specially more respected by Metal fans than they are nowadays, but it's their choice anyway, so who cares...lol
guitar_demon on
damn son! put a vest together, or just sell me the pestilence testimony patch ;)
Metal Militia on
Thanks for the great comment!!
I already have one vest almost done, but i already have great ideas for a second one...i would like to do a blue one know, since ai already have a black one, it all depends on finding a cheap denim jacket, because at the moment i need to save money for concert tickets and so on....
Sorry, but i don't sell any of my stuff, it means a lot for me, try on ebay, it might have the pestilence patch, sometimes this kind of rare patches appears there.

Do I see a Heathen- Victims of Deception patch? If so, that's awesome, and even if not it's a great collection.
Metal Militia on
Hi there!
Thank you for the great comment!
Yes, it is The Victims of Deception patch by Heathen, my camera sometimes blurs a litle the photos...
CultureOfNone on
Awesome collection.
While I wouldn't necessarily call myself a Slipknot fan, I do recall reading interviews where they've had plenty to say about their death metal/thrash fandom... And to be fair, I tend to think Machine Head is also a bit off the "metal" target as well... : )
Metal Militia on
I wouldn't call myself a Slipknot fan either, mainly for the resons i mentioned above in my first post, but i like some of their songs from the Slipknot and Yowa albums....after that, all they've done is pretty much rubish, as far as i'm concerned...
I also remenber seeing them on terrorizer talking about their musical tastes, and i was surprised to see,Death Metal, Thrash and Grindcore bands among them, wich separates them from the rest of the nu metal trash that was happening the time, that certanly didn't like those types of more extreme Metal.
To me these days they're a band that gets most of kids that listen to them, into heavier & better bands afterwards, when they start to discover that all they think they know about Metal is just the tip of the iceberg really.
Metal Militia on
You are also right regarding Machine Head as a "Metal target band", but in my opinion it's rob flynn's fault for that, since he seems more happy these days in appearing besides the new metal bands such Trivium, than the guys from Vio-lence for example....but almost any band that is in Roadrunner has to be somewhat comercial, or else gets the boot, and MH is no exception...and they already got the boot after the supercharger album was released.
I still like MH a lot, but to me Vio-lence is way better...too bad they made bad decisions regarding the change of the Manager they had, because i believe eventualy they would get signed to a bigger label that the one they were.
Eternal Nightmare & Opressing the Masses are way better than anything MH has released so far, at least in my book...good call by rob flynn on asking phil demmel to join MH though, best guitar player MH has ever had, they were both great when they palyed together in the Vio-lence days....definitely a good team!
CultureOfNone on
by the way...that Malevolent Creation cover looks great as a patch!
Metal Militia on
Thanks man, yes it does, i wish they also made the other cover of The Will to Kill album as a patch, because i like that cover as well too, and would have done a great patch as well.
hammer slammer on
fuck man ive been looking for that victims of deception patch everywhere, whered you get yours?
Metal Militia on
I got my Heathen patch from ebay, it was a while ago, so i don't remember the exact name of the seller, but if i find the invoice of that the seller has sent me at the time, i'll post here all the information i get, i know that when i bought the Heathen patch, i also bought a few more like the Razor one for example and others as well.
Metal Militia on
all my patches, except the Behemoth one are woven, i personally don't care much for the printed ones.
Metal Militia on
Thank you for the great comment!

Tight!!!
are u rich hahahahh u got more stuff then me hahahah can u sell me some
Metal Militia on
Hi there Hector!
I wish i was rich...loooool, all the stuff i've collected is from 20 years of collecting stuff,and not spending money in useless things like smoking for example, that's why i've got a fair amount of stuff, plus i had a Metal store in my hometown for 4 years, so that helped as well along the way.
Sorry bur i don't sell any of my stuff, it's sacred for me :)
take care.

for these great patches...=)))
Metal Militia on
Thanks man!!
i want to take most of there patches, i've been collecting and make a new vest, my only doubt is about wich backpatch i'm going to use, i wll probably use one of the one's i have, but first got to buy the jacket. XD
\m/
megadeth1818 on
i want that evil invaders patch!!!
Metal Militia on
thanks!
It is a great patch, and a great album by an awesome band as well. \m/
whiteravenmetal on
man, you never feel the impulse to put them on a jacket?
Metal Militia on
Hi there!
Yes, i have been thinking about doing a second vest for some time now, and i already have some cool ideas about it, my only doubt is regarding the backpatch i'm going to use in the vest, if i'm going to use one form the one's i've got, or i'll try to find another one that i really want, but lately due to lack of time, i still haven't started to look for the denim jacket...
My idea is to make my second vest a lot more diverse regarding the type of patches i'm going to put on the vest, my first vest was more dedicated to thrash, because it is what i love best, but in my second one, i want to include everithing i like from Hard Rock to Black Metal.
Meanwhile i store my patches in the ofice folder, because it is a great way in my opinion to keep them organised & safe from begining to deteriorate themselves as time goes by, and i have quite a few of them that were bought 15 to 20 years ago.
metallicane on
Insane collection. Dig the hell out of that Celtic Frost patch and that thrash metal badge. It seems like you have enough patches for two vests! That's crazy that some of those patches are 20 years old! Great collecting, man!
Metal Militia on
Hi there Metallicane!
Thank you for the great complement, it is great to hear other Metalheads enjoying my merch collection!
I have 29 patches in my current vest, in the office folder i've got 116 patches, so it would give to fill 3 more vests by my opinion, meanwhile, i've got some more new patches, i'll have to take pictures of them, and upload them when i've got the chance.
I think my oldest patch is the green Metallica logo, i have bought that in 91 i believe, so that's a 19 year old patch right there, and there are more as old as that one.
Thrash_Maniac on
i want that fucking awesome razor patch!
Metal Militia on
Thanks Man!!
I made recently a new patch vest, and i used the evil invaders patch on it.
Bayernpirat on

Metal Militia on

hyperdeathgoth on
what an amazing idea_
Metal Militia on
Thank you! I think it is a great way to store patches. :)
Metal Militia on
Hi there Dave, actualy a have a few more new patches that i got a while ago, but i still need to get pictures of them in order to upload them here, the rest of the folder is filled with photos and articles from magazines that i used to use on my A4 notebooks during my highschool years...there are photos from Metallica, Megadeth, Pantera, Sepultura, White Zombie etc....
morkilla on
you have some patch that i need.. (sorry for my bad english)
Metal Militia on
Hi there, i'm sure you do..loool but i don't trade any of my stuff because these are things from my teen years and they have that nostalgic feel to me, i'm sure you can relate to that. :)
But just out of curiosity, that were the patches you wanted from my collection??
morkilla on
Megadeth patch... :)
i've been searching everywhere but still can't find that patch in my country....
Metal Militia on
Ok but wich one do you mean?? I have a few Megadeth patches.
morkilla on
rust in peace patch...
Metal Militia on
Yes that's a great one indeed, very old by now, but i think they will do in the near future another updated version of this patch because it's the best known Megadeth album, and it has a killer artwork.
Mark on
Nice Protector and Razor patches!
Metal Militia on
Thanks Mark \m/
wehrlx on
have excellent patches but HERESY - PARADOX is awesome! I've tried to get but hopefully I have not run, I've only gotten PRODUCT OF IMAGINATION, but for me it is better HERESY is a great album, paradox is also my favorite bands
Metal Militia on
Thanks for the cool comment wehrlx you also have a great heresy patch, but i agree with you, Heresy is the best album from them \m/
