Original ABIGOR Nachthymnen T-Shirt, 1995. According to the band directly, this was released prior to the better-known Longsleeve from 1996 (Napalm Records) and another layout was used.
Read the full statement of the band here:
„Before the release of our first album, Max, head of Napalm Records, printed about 50 shirts at a local printer with a pre-Verwüstung session photo, just for the band and a few mailorder people.
In winter 94/95, a guy called Erik was meeting Max in our flat in Vienna. He was supposed to start Napalm America and brought the first official merch item with him, the Verwüstung longsleeve. This was the first official Abigor merch item (although an american one). Max then printed the Nachthymnen shirt (with the circle of an old occult book printed on the back, NOT the Cthulhu frame, later used for the label of the Nachthymnen LP in the official Abigor Vinyl Box), which was the first ever Napalm Austria shirt. Not only for Abigor, but also the first official european merch item in the company´s history, at least to our knowldge. All claims of Napalm administrators who joined the company in the 00s, that this is probably a bootleg shirt should be corrected!"
