The sweatshirt combines ripoffs of the first <em>Diablo<\/em> cover, the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/ensiferum\">Ensiferium<\/a><\/strong> logo, the cover of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/eyehategod\">EyeHateGod<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s <em>Southern Discomfort<\/em>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/soilwork\">Soilwork<\/a><\/strong>&#8216;s <em>Stabbing The Drama<\/em>, and a patch below the <em>Diablo<\/em> cover that I can&#8217;t identify into something that I personally would pay maybe $15 for if I saw it at a thrift shop.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the fact that it looks horrendous, former <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/metalinjection.net\/tag\/soilwork\">Soilwork<\/a><\/strong> drummer <strong>Dirk Verbeuren<\/strong> caught wind of it and threw a question out to his followers \u2013 is it alright for companies to do this?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Metalheads, I&#8217;d love to hear your opinion about this @vetements_official garment including @soilwork&#8217;s Stabbing The Drama cover art, created by @mirceaeftemie, as well as a bunch of other (sometimes slightly modified) band logos and art. Price tag: $1,600. Most of you have probably noticed this fashion trend of recycling\/stealing metal imagery.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So\u2026 Fashion or total rip-off?
