This here is a badass tall, thick and heavy beer mug that comes with a handle and has the stunning Vomitheist album artwork design made by Aesthetisk Art which is replicated in all its unmitigated glory and detailing. It comes alive once you fill it up with the desired liquid and can take in almost 500 ml of it.

We’ll be tossing in an album artwork coaster with the mug too, just for it to look complete.

The beer mug is shipped out in a tough cardboard box for better protection. It’s best to order this with something else to lower the shipping costs.

Swiss death metal band Vomitheist are the latest purveyors of sick, festering death metal that imbibe the best elements of the classic death metal bands and give the music a twisted interpretation of their own. They somehow manage to blend the HM-2 driven Swedish death metal sound with the ugly, slimey sound propagated by the likes of American bands such as Autopsy and make it work exceedingly well. Vomitheist take their time to flesh out their compositions, making the riffs punchy and nasty, and ensuring that they stick out rather than get lost in the miasma of cosmetic distortion. The music of Vomitheist works on the basis of excellent songwriting alone; the rest is bonus. Truth is, on their debut full length itself, they have nailed it all – substance, sound, aesthetics – and delivered the complete package. Despite oozing with filth, the sound upholds the crunchiness and possesses enough clarity to allow for each note to be deciphered. It’s topped off with equally sickening artworks by Aesthetik Art which have been utilized here to provide the best merch options, including a fitting beige coloured one. It’s nigh impossible to fault this release – where this kind of death metal goes, this is as good as it gets.

For fans of: Crawl, Feral, Dismember, Black Breath, Grave, Carnage, Autopsy, Abscess, Bloodbath
