This is a special bootleg toy series I created as a love letter to the most influential death metal albums/songs/groups in my life. Spanning to when I first got into the genre around 1991-92 I was blown away by the ferocity and how damn GOOD the music was. I was a metalhead/trash/crossover kid and this new style really filled in a gap of just insane energetic gore infested horror blood splattering goodness. I picked the songs that really stood out to me; yeah most are the bands big hits or well known songs but I don’t care, these are songs that take back in time and again. Each packaging reflects on the band and features a section of an influential song for me, and hopefully the figures will find themselves into the clawed, skeletal hands of those creatures who also celebrate the band.

This figure is in tribute to the anti-godlike Deicide. I listened to Slayer and Venom and other “satanic” stuff, I thought I was edgy rocking my Grim Reaper and Nuclear Assault cassettes…then a friends mom, who was religious, inexplicably bought my friend a shirt of the cover of Deicide self titled. My buds and I all listened to the album and I knew, I knew it was both purely awesome and dangerous to the squares recovering from the satanic panic in the 80s. I picked Dead by Dawn because it transports me back to being 14, dumbstruck by such a crazy HEAVY fucking song AND it was about my favorite movie at the time Evil Dead 2. I could not believe it. The way the song just doesn’t let up, the crazy swirling demonic voices, this song just epitomizes the marriage of death metal and horror movies. The first album front to back every song is perfect, and 87 years later I still blast it at work or home or in the car.

Featuring an axe wielding skeleton and his cleaver menacing bro, hand splattered red paint for blood effect, 6×9 coffin shape with satanic purple trim. Packaging and original design all done by me, painstakingly assembled by these withered hand.

All bootlegs are always 1 of 1. I never recreate or make the same bootleg twice, which makes this super rare, collectible, sought after, to be treasured, to be coveted…I think. THIS IS NOT A TOY TO BE OPENED AND PLAYED WITH. You’re not buying some toy, you’re buying a piece of art to display in your game room, store, nerd cave, or as a unique gift to some special corpse in your life.
