DEATH / Original demo T-shirt 1985

Room101Thu, 30/07/2015 - 03:14

Probably, one of the oldest T-shirts made by the band. Got from my ex-fellow worker Bill Andrews who played drums on DEATH's "Leprosy", "Spiritual Healing" and MASSACRE's "From Beyond" album. Bill told me that he got this shirt from Chuck Schuldiner in 1986.
You can see some differences between this logo and well-known later logo (e.g. 666 in the 'T', amount of dripping blood and the shape of spider's web).

PLEASE NOTE : I don't own this shirt anymore, so I can't answer any questions about it.
I uploaded these photos to assist collectors in seeking the genuine original shirt, with DoctorDeath's permission. I hope this info will be of assistance.

I always wanted this one! Very, very nice K!
Too bad that you don't own this one anymore, I would buy it of you right away!

I think it's really tough to find this shirt nowadays, but I hope you will find it someday. Keep up a search! ;)

Carcass and Death are cult bands for me, is nice to see this piece of history, this looks in usual good shape through the time.

Wow, just wow!! Killer!

I don't own this shirt anymore, but thanks for your comment!
I liked Death's old evil logo, so I was disappointed when they simplified it with "Human" album.

Yes I already read above that you don't own it anymore. Never seen this one tho, so thanx for uploading! And yes, it was such a great logo, especially for the time! Been very disappointed too when they skipped it...
