Look, let’s face it. Your Slayer shirt has seen better days. Yes, everyone agrees that the pentagram is badass, but the thing is faded worse than a worn out dishrag. And honestly, it’s full of holes and even after washing it smells like sweat. Don’t become one of those creepy hoarder people, man. Buy a new shirt — one that will impress your pals and maybe even a woman or two! (OK, that last part was hyperbole.)

Leave it to another metal band to come up with the gem you see above. That’s right, it reads Tom Araya Is Our Elvis! The responsible parties are weirdo jazz metal artists Zu and the record label Public Guilt, who’s releasing both this shirt as well as a vinyl reissue of the band’s 2005 album The Way Of Animal Powers. Buy both here.

See? We do read all of your suggestions.

• Zu: “baritone sax, drums and bass that sounds like meshuggah and it also features mike patton on track and they are from italy and having their album released through ipecac” [description courtesy of Patrik A.]
• Senate: Tight n’ heavy modern thrash with hints of Swedecore ala Sylosis, or Bodom without the cheese. New album comes out this summer. [sent in by Matt D.F.]
• Scamp: Pummeling Euro-thrash from Denmark that sounds a lot like their fellow countrymen in Mnemic. [sent in by Anders T. in blacklash to our Volbeat post.]
