The black band T-shirt is the most identifiable part of the metal genre subculture. Despite the diverse background (gender, race, religion, profession, etc.) of metalheads, the T-shirt is the biggest and most visible commonality. The band T-shirt is often the topic of conversion amongst metalhead before a gig. This project aims to bring the different faces of metalheads in their favourite T-shirt in front of the camera.
It is a tribute and a celebration of the black metal T-shirt. Something that we all share despite how diverse we all are.

I started listening to rock when I was 9 years old. My older siblings would listen to Linkin' Park, Limp Bizkit and Evanescence so that was what got me into the genre initially...Then when I was in my teens I started listening to Metallica, Megadeth, and SOAD, followed by Arch Enemy, Cradle of Filth and Slayer.
I love classic heavy metal as well, Iron Maiden, Priest, Black Sabbath, etc, will always be legends in my books. I have continued discovering bands ever since my teenage years and have always tried to be open minded - giving both old and new music a chance.
I heard about thrash band Death Angel around 6 years ago but didn't get into them properly until the past few years. I saw them live for the first time at the Underworld back in 2017 and they blew me away. Progressive, cutting riffs and melodic harmonies, Death Angel are a band that does not disappoint.
I'm glad to see the band has been going strong again since their reunion in 2001.
They are kings of thrash and deserve to be up there with the "Big Four"

Archspire are one of the best technical death metal bands going. They are the musical embodiment of sonic the hedgehog and there isn’t a single song of theirs that isn’t absolutely mind blowing. While tech death isn’t my favourite sub genre of metal, Archspire is always going to be one of my favourite bands.
I got this tee on the 2019 Tech Trek tour with Vulvodynia, Beneath the Massacre and Inferi (who are all amazing bands as well).
