new CANNABIS CORPSE t-shirt now available!! +Robotic Empire Online Store updates


So it's been a while since Robotic Empire made a new t-shirt and what other way to show our undying love for drugs and metal than to combine forces with Richmond's own CANNABIS CORPSE!?! Yep, our incredible death metal brethren have allowed us to print up this brutal new four-color t-shirt with spot-on artwork by another local Richmond artist, Jim Callahan. This new shirt truly celebrates the dangerous nature of CANNABIS CORPSE's bud-monster fan base, as two are featured together on this shirt, rolling up captured human beings into delicious joints! Of course, we mean "tobacco cigarettes" for the narcs out there.

Seriously though, this shirt turned out fucking incredible and we're really stoked to have this thing for sale. Click here for a more detailed view of the artwork, or click here for a photo of the actual printed t-shirt! We're charging $15 for this (postage paid in the USA) and the band now has these shirts as well if you'd rather support them directly. We got an insane amount of sizes printed (Youth Large through Double Extra Large) and this is available NOW in the Robotic Empire Online Store!

For the unfortunate metalheads out there who haven't CANNABIS CORPSE yet (and if you somehow can't guess what they sound like), this Richmond-based combo of BATTLEMASTER and MUNICIPAL WASTE members pay homage to the mighty CANNIBAL CORPSE and marijuana simultaneously... through blistering weed-inspired death metal! It's not a parody though, as their songs actually RIP! Seriously, check out four dank samples via overlord myspace.

If you like what you hear/see, please pick up the new shirt, their debut Blunted At Birth album, and/or the new BATTLEMASTER album (both released by Forcefield Records) which absolutely destroys as well! Forcefield is a pretty badass local Richmond label releasing some awesome (and varied) stuff, check them out too!
