DEATH / Original demo T-shirt 1985
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.

Awesome, thanks for the info!- Thank you!!, yes, I painted them, but with a brush.
Awesome. 🤘
All right, then the trip was probably worthwhile for you in more ways than one.
Classic stuff!- I was in Japan for the fest. Most of everything sold out as literally everyone was buying merch and every piece of it.
- Not bad! Did they have them in the NWN! store?
And that alone explains this patch. But I think the other version of Rapture Textiles is better.- A very horny patch hahaha
Love this!
nice to see the long and short versions compared in this post. thanks for taking the time.
All good ! \m\- Nope sorry this one is going on my vest 🗿
- What’s the story with this? It’s funny !!!
Heck yeah I love this guy!! Where'd you get this from?

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.

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.
Der Todesking on
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...
