These are ultra high quality long sleeve T-shirts that have the album artwork printed on specially made thick and soft 100% cotton material and they fit great. They’re prewashed to avoid any shrinking issues. There are prints on both the sleeves and of course the fittingly sick artwork by Slimeweaver on the front in full colour.

On only their debut release, Retching have found a way to present the gore-soaked, rotten, old school-inclined death metal sound that we all love with quality songwriting that elevates it beyond the nostalgic, aspiring bands of this ilk. It is what keeps the appeal from being diminished upon multiple listens and keeps the listener coming back for more as there’s more than just simplified caveman-mosh death metal savagery on offer here. The songs, while accessible and laden with compelling hooks, are intricate and structured, and do a lot more before offering the much-desired dose of primal brutality. The influences too are assimilated very well from various death metal bands – this is no direct Cannibal Corpse or Suffocation clone; it bears elements as most such death metal bands do, but they’ve attempted to go about creating something delectable and effective in their own way, and to that extent this works well. There’s no beating about the bush here – if you’re into death metal that’s heavy, catchy, and fun but also not completely senseless, Retching will make your day.
