Top 6 most useful Slayer merch items

Merch is a funny thing. Bands constantly push wares that people don’t need (more t-shirts), while ignoring branding opportunities for necessaries. Slayer, however, does not make this mistake. The band likely enlisted armies of marketers and sweatshops to put its name on sundry items — woven blankets, beach towels, shot glasses, intimate clothing, even Christmas ornaments (oh, the irony). Below are six wacky yet potentially useful Slayer merch items.

This just in: Invisible Oranges reader Umlaut handles Slayer merch for work (nice job!). He’s helped bring some of the below items into existence. For more details, see here, here, and here.

Bar stool

As we know from his “Heineken” guitar, we know that Jeff Hanneman is a beer man. Evidently Kerry King does not drink beer, but likes vodka. Available here. Out of stock — see retailer’s comment below.

Wall clock

It might be tough to tell the time with so many swords all over the place. “Mommy, why does the clock always say 6:00?” Available here.

Motorcycle helmet

This one’s kind of cool. Now if only Slayer could make a bicycle helmet. Available here.

Ashtray

Useful for “hardening of the arteries.” Available here.

Air freshener

This would go well with the Slayer ashtray. Available here.

Reversible girls’ handbag

Does the band even know its name is on this? Available here.
