Check Out the 2018 Transcending Obscurity Sampler and Win a Free Shirt!
Our pals at Transcending Obscurity had a killer year in 2017, releasing some big hits from Gutslit, Drug Honkey, Henry Kane, and more! Bafflingly, 2018 looks to be just as killer of a year for the international trendsetting label, with new releases en route from Morgue Supplier, P.H.O.B.O.S., and Bokluk! Today we’re teaming up with our pals at TO to bring you both some tasty new jams and a chance to win a siqqqqq shirt. Get in here to hear what the label has in store for 2018 and for a chance to win some sweet threads!
As we did just about a year ago, we’ve teamed up with Transcending Obscurity to give you a chance to win a free t-shirt that label head, hard-working maniac, and all-around great dude Kunal Choksi will send to you personally. This year’s label sampler design was created by none other Misanthropic Art and features a killer work of eldritch horror. I can personally attest to the quality of Transcending Obscurity’s shirts (no stupid box-shaped Gildan tees here), and you can rest assured sporting this tee won’t land you in a Shirt Stains column.
So how do you win one of these excellent tees? Just follow the rules below!
The Rules
All you have to do to win one of those excellent Misanthropic Art shirts is: 1. Listen to the compilation. 2. Post one song in the comments and explain in 50 words why you think it rules. 3. Like Transcending Obscurity on Facebook. That’s it. I’ll pick two winners at the end of the week, and Kunal will ship you a shirt totally free. Play. Explain. Like. Win.
So what bands tickle your fancy? Are you enamored of the blood-soaked crust of Feral? Are you really feeling the malevolent riffs of Heads for the Dead? Does Crawl make you want to crawl in a hole and die? Did you break your neck headbanging to the whiplash speed of Sathanas? Are you bummed tf out by Officium Triste?
