Dirk Verbeuren (Megadeth, ex-Soilwork) has called out fashion brand Vetements over a $1600 hoodie featuring what appears to be unlicenced versions of art from Soilwork, Ensiferum, “Diablo II,” etc. The drummer said the following:
“Metalheads, I’d love to hear your opinion about this @vetements_official garment including @soilwork’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. So… Fashion or total rip-off? What do you think? EDIT: to my knowledge, none of this art was licensed. Super Bad?!?!”
