VENOM In League with Satan Patch

Before black metal had a name, Venom gave it a vocabulary. In League with Satan came out in 1981 and basically handed a generation of teenagers in cold European bedrooms a permission slip to go further.

Cronos, Mantas and Abaddon were playing faster and dirtier than anyone else in the UK extreme music scene, and the world caught up eventually. Metallica, Mayhem, Bathory, the entire black metal underground, all of them owe a debt. Patching this onto your vest isn't just alternative fashion, it's acknowledging the lineage. Gothic horror imagery, punk attitude, metal noise. The original combination, before it had a genre tag attached.

Woven sew-on patch. Approximately 100mm wide. Stitch or iron-on border, then stitch, because this one's staying.

Fans of: Motörhead, Bathory, Mercyful Fate
