It was inevitable for them as a business. They've had merch in Asos, Pennies etc.
Yeah, I got a banger of a Live After Death T shirt in H&M for 12 quid (there's a less good Live After Death one in Penney's too). Picking that up as gig merch would have been €50 or more.

Quote from: Polaris on July 14, 2026, 11:36:46 AMRIP Mike. Engaged with him on Facebook a few years ago and he seemed really sound. The Key is a great album
Noticed that on and off on Facebook over the years. He seemed to be very engaged with the scene and had a huge knowledge (and seemingly great memory for events from decades ago). And seemed to be widely respected as an all round sound guy.

Metal Discussion / Re: Deicide European Dates

Yip, top notch. It really is funny that a band with a rather dodgy live reputation for a very long time just pulled their socks up (seemingly when they got that new guitarist a few years ago) and decided to start killing it live (and, in many ways, I think the rather dunderheaded nature of their songs works live a lot better than on disc). Saw them in London two years ago and they were great. Was hoping they'd pop up there again around the current festival dates but seems not.

The Berserker announced for this in their first - and only - European show for 18 years. Quite the surprise!

Quote from: Carnage on February 27, 2026, 10:13:20 PMI've just seen that Dan Simmons died last weekend. Author of the Hyperion series and The Terror, among others. A bit niche perhaps, but there you are.

Haven't read the book, but The Terror is one of the best TV shows most people haven't seen.

Quote from: The Ancient Ones on February 03, 2026, 10:41:04 AMHow much did the DMDS go for? I gave away - for free! - a copy on Metal Ireland back in the day when I was clearing stuff out...

Seems to go regularly for between 1500 - 2000 on discogs. Sometimes more
Giving it away for nowt wasn't my most intelligent move....

Quote from: Bürggermeister on August 06, 2025, 08:09:10 PMDave lost his Icon status when he left Morbid Angel... twice
TBF the last time he (and Destructhor - remember him?) was booted out and Trey didn't even have the good grace to tell him, poor Dave only finding out from a post by Trey's mom (who seems to have a lot of input behind the scenes) on Facebook.

Quote from: Paul keohane on August 06, 2025, 09:08:31 AMI had to in the end! :laugh:
Wasn't too gone on that shirt TBH but they had a couple of really cool original designs - all ruined with a giant I Am Morbid logo. Reckon they'd sell more TBH with a more subtle logo.

40 quid though....

They didn't play Dead Shall Rise. Pity - was looking forward to it!
