Creeping Death dropped in 1984 on Ride The Lightning and remains one of the most visceral things Metallica ever committed to tape. A song about the ten plagues of Egypt, told from the perspective of Death itself, written by four guys in their early twenties. The audacity, honestly.The imagery that came with that era of Metallica, skulls, scythes, a visual language pulled straight from heavy metal's darkest corner, holds up in a way a lot of 80s aesthetics simply don't. This back patch belongs on a battle jacket alongside your Slayer and Megadeth patches, or worn solo on denim so bleached and thrashed it basically has its own discography. Metal and dark aesthetic streetwear collide exactly here, and that's the whole point of ALT CVLT.Officially licensed sew-on back patch. USA origin. Fans of: Slayer, Pantera, Judas Priest, Megadeth, Motörhead, Iron Maiden.
