T-shirt #043 - Depravity

Depravity is from Perth, Western Australia.
And their logo is difficult to read...ergo...it is a death metal band ;-)



Death metal was meant to be an assault on the senses but somewhere along the way bands started taking it easy, getting complacent. Enter DEPRAVITY from Australia. They show us how it's to be done, to play devastating death metal without straying from the genre's roots. This is what MORBID ANGEL should've sounded like today. There's no going back or forth. This is it. This is the fiercest expression of death metal while remaining relevant. Vile, twisted and deafeningly heavy, 'Evil Upheaval' is one of the most powerful albums you'll bear witness to this year!

T-shirt #041 - OPETH


I LOVE opeth and I have seen them many times. Some of the records are just pure gold and magic ....but still, I have not really listened to them for at least 5 years now
a bit like Dream Theatre... you know the goodness, but it also a bit "booringly good"...

Deliverance

Still Life and Blackwater Park are my favourite albums..

Blackwater Park 

and Ghost Reveries

and of course Mikael Åkerfeldt himself ... a bit like Devin Townsend 
a real entertainer
