Arcturus - Rare La Masquerade Infernale bootleg shirt.

I have no idea what year this is from, nor do I have any clue what the origins of this shirt consist of...

I just remember seeing it on some forum many many years ago. I would probably say it's pretty rare since I have not seen or heard of it since.

In any case, not too bad looking of a shirt, wouldn't you say? It's my favorite band, so really as long as it's not ugly... it's good to go!

Really love the back print :)

It always surprise me how often bootlegs look better than official merch.

Haha, I'm assuming you are comparing this to the other (official) version of this shirt... the orange and black one. I say that because there is NO WAY in hell that this bootleg looks better than my official "La Masquerade..." LS... and definitely not better looking than my white "FALL/RISE" LS either. ;)

At least, I certainly don't think so... but thanks though!

Nah, not really. Just in general. Haven't really seen much Arcturus merch so I can't say. But one example that comes to mind is the Ulver bootlegs circulation the web vs the official prints of oldschool motifs.

That is not ugly at all sir, quite the contrary!
And of course, never seen it before, and i'll have to agree, the back print is really good, though i would have dropped the logo, since it is on the front already, and both are nearly indistinguishable.
But that is just a minor detail, 5 flames!!

Yeah have I agree on the logo thing, two of the same logos is not necessary.

I have to say I like the back picture. I like necro looking BM pics paired with atmospheric cosmic black metal, a nice contraditction!

I take that back though... just listened to part of that album and I can tell it would be a diappointment to me.. it kills me that by the time a symphonic BM band is hiring real classical ensembles the plunge their sound into some goofy electronica experimental territory. Diabolical Masquerade did the same thing. I dont think we've ever had a truly symphonic black metal band.... even tech death has beat BM to that! :(

There's nothing "goofy electronica" about this album. You might not like it, that's fine. It's certainly an album that's not for everyone, and it might even take a while to grow on those that do like it, but it's still no joke.
