Somnus LS from the "To Return The Crimson Skies" Demo circa 1998. Somnus were a mostly overlooked but pretty darn good black/death metal band from Cleveland, OH that formed in the mid 90's and featured Chris Stolle (ex-Thanatopsis) on drums. This shirt is extremely thick and the print is in amazing shape, it's an XL which is too large for me but given the rarity, I'll take it!
Cool!!!
I too know Somnus! THey are one of a handful of metal bands on The Root of All Evil whom I love.... along with Lorde of All Desire, Theatre of the Macabre, and the Mortiis style synth artist Le'Rue Delashay. I love these 4 overlooked artists. :)
Boy, I'm glad someone knows about them! I'm not too familiar with the record label but I do have the two Somnus full lengths, have you seen my other Somnus shirt from the first album? Also pretty killer!
I did see that! I once saw that shirt for sale on ebay years ago. Makes me wonder if they ever made a shirt for their label mates Lorde of all Desires. You should check out that band, they're vocalists are not very good but other than that, they were a pretty amazing gothic black/death band!
Interesting, I know there are more out there, I'm still looking for the "Through Creation's End" LS (I think they made that one as well) from their 2nd/last album. I'll have to check them out! I see you like some similar genres as I am for some of the same reasons so I trust your judgement!
