Update on my WIP mostly thrash flecktarn vest

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve posted here and I’ve added a ton. Let me know what you think!

Custom printed Vader - The Art of War EP patch

This is my favorite Vader release but it seems to be almost forgotten to time, missing from streaming services and other digital platforms, very few physical copies around, and no patches as far as I can see. I found a custom patch printer on Etsy and had this 4x4 inch patch made. I have to say I am very happy with the results. I was worried it would come out faded or blurry, but it's contrasty and sharp.

I don't want to sound like I'm advertising an Etsy seller so not going to drop the name here, but DM me if you're interested and I can pass that along.

edit: the yellow/green border inside the border was my fuck up. I was playing around with border colors and accidentally sent the file where I digitally added a border.

Do you sniff your CDs?

I like smelling my CDs and sometimes booklets when I get them, if they have a nice smell I sniff them more often. I get sad when some smell like radioactive acid

Favored with good local record stores with a ton of good used CDs lately (Know Name and Extreme Noise in Minneapolis)

One of Nine was new. The rest of them were used for $5-7 each.

First 3 Desaster albums for an extremely reasonable price from my local punk/metal shop

Local store posted on socials that they had a bunch of CDs to unload for good prices. Snagged these for $9 each. All first pressings (1996, 1998, 2000)

Excellent Teutonic black thrash if you haven’t heard it before. Their recent releases are great as well.

I just want people to know that it’s safe. It’s best. That way I know I have a pristine one in storage. Then I can drive it, it gets scratched, I don't care.

It’s a club edition so probably not technically a first press, but it’s a 1990 and most importantly pre-remaster and pre-rerecorded parts.

Overkill and Voivod patches aren’t sewn on yet but will likely end up there.

Vektor, Necropanther, and Pink Floyd patches were black and white ones that I dyed orange.

I’m on the hunt for a few more specific patches and have a few a shows coming up that I hope to snag some at!
