About

Tell us about yourself?: 

I'm 25, tall, slightly crippled and slightly blind, from the south of England and I fucking love Goth and Black Metal. Type O, Ninkharsag, Lord Belial, Bathory, Burzum, and Emperor are among some of my favorites; but I'm still into other genres/styles - as long as the music is good I don't give a shit if it's massively well produced or coming from a toilet.
Only been building my collection of shirts and making my jackets for the past 3 years - money was pretty tight previously. Doesn't mean I'm not a true fan or anything, just got some catching up to do.

What's your reason for joining tshirtslayer?: 

Trying to find and buy some patches for the lesser followed bands I like that arn't constantly making new merch. Might even share a couple pics of my jackets.

Do you goto any festivals or shows?: 

Haven't been to too many shows of yet, like I said before money has been tight; that being said, finally got a steady job so managed to start. Was at Finsbury Park earlier this year to see Slayer, Anthrax, Mastodon, Amon Amarth, Hatebreed and Neckbreaker. Not my usual MO, but I won't lie, the entire lineup were class af. Didn't realise I'd like Mastodon and Hatebreed so much.
The sound for the entire event was genuinely stellar; everyone had tonnes of energy, the sound was solid as hell with loads of low end (me likey alot), and I discovered bands that I normally wouldn't listen too much to.
Got my ticket already for bloodstock 2026, so getting massively hyped for that with my crew of mates. Nevermore are for sure on the must see list along with Municipal Waste and Death Angel. Missed em once already - Not happening again!

Favourite album ?: 

Really damn hard to say. I legitimatly cannot skip a single Type O song, and October Rust/Bloody Kisses just move me. But in the same vein, Bathory's Under the Sign of the Black Mark and Blood on Ice are immense aswell. Can't choose.
