What's up everyone. Just thought I'd stop by and let you all know that Carpenter Brut just dropped a pre-order for an incredibly dope shirt.

Check it out: https://carpenterbrut.bandcamp.com/merch/carpenter-vice-f-rtifem-design-pre-order-only

Only $30 overall to have it shipped to the U.S., not bad at all for such a sweet shirt plus international shipping.

Just bought it as well, that shirt is dope as fuck.

By the way, the 20 bucks gets you the Trilogy album as well. So it's 20 bucks [plus shipping] for the shirt and the album.

Hmm, it looks like the only music I got was a download of Paradise Warfare. How did you get the trilogy?

I bought a tee from Carpenter Brut early last week and the quality is great, came in next to no time too. France to UK in around 4 days.

Just wish I could pick up the trilogy vinyl from somewhere that wasn't charging a fortune. That thing seriously needs a re-issue

Damn, that's impressive. Was it labeled as being a "Slim Fit"? If so, was it really tight? Cause this new shirt is and it's making me a bit nervous as I like my tees on the larger side.

i think that red version was the standard pressing one that will be getting represses and had a higher pressing amount to start with.

Just wait around awhile for that, pressing vinyl takes a long time nowadays when the pressing plants are super busy with this current vinyl craze :D

It was a slim fit and it fits fine on me, and I have to admit my days of being anything resembling slim are over.

Just went to the Trilogy store page, there's an option to buy the shirt there too. Ordered the shirt, got the download to the Trilogy as well.


Second half of Invasion A.D. is fucking CRAZY. Awesome album.

Thanks for the heads up! Only $40 locally. Sizes seem one step smaller than most other brands, went with an XL but I might have to slim down a bit!

Huh, ordered the shirt from that page, and it said Paradise Warfare, but the link after purchase was Trilogy. Either way, can't wait for it to ship.

Of all the EPs Ive purchased since getting into this genre, Dance with the Dead's Into The Abyss is the only one where I like each song, beginning to end. Send the Signal is good, but I mostly enjoy only track 2 and 3.

Send the Signal felt pretty meh to me at first, but now I love every song. Have you listened to their other two albums? Some tracks I recommend: from Out of Body - Robeast, Thrasher, Cobra, Zombie Night; from Near Dark - Invader, Waves, Andromeda, Near Dark.

Not yet, but I have every intention of buying all of their albums. Even though I think Send the Signal is meh, I love their style. I'm just slowly working my way through their discography.

I'm doing the same with Perturbator and Brut. I feel like I found the perfect combination of artists to start my introduction to this genre. Each are very unique, and brilliant at what they do.

This thread is the best, I find myself listening to this style of music more and more. Does anyone know of a good source for 80s cyberpunk-style visuals to accompany the music? Maybe a YouTube playlist or something? I would love to just keep it playing on my 2nd monitor.

198XAD is one of the best albums. 12 bucks is steep, especially compared to most albums on bandcamp. Worth it, though.

One of the best things about being a fan of this genre is the albums are very affordable. I got all three albums for just under 20 dollars.

Btw, the album version of Magic Sword's Face of Evil is much better than the Hotline Miami version. The last two minutes heavily features guitar work, which was cut in the HM version.
