Bought this M.L.I.W. shirt at Disc Union (Shibuya branch) during my visit in Tokyo, Japan last January. Got it for just 100 Yen (1 US$). I guess this shirt was printed in 2003, same year 'My Love. My Way.' was released. Reference to the Martyr Records logo. M.L.I.W. cross logo on an ash grey shirt, record label logo on the back. 'First and Ellen' has to be my favorite song from 'My Love. My Way'.
"And I've been thinking about my past today...thinking of all those times I was afraid...and all those times that I felt worthless and ashamed."
I've been collecting Integrity records and merch since 2006; from LPs, cassette tapes, flyers, and posters to shirts, hoodies, and patches. Hey, who doesn't love this controversial metallic hardcore band? I got this shirt around the first quarter of 2009, from KisG of Hungarian Straight Edge hardcore band, Motivation. He also runs a hardcore-punk label called Honest For Truth Records. According to him, this is one of Integrity's European tour shirt during the 'To Die For' era. White print on a red shirt, featuring the infamous Integrity skull logo with wings (reference to Blessed Majesty or Heavens Final War?) on the front. Bold 'To Die For' printed on the back. Deathwish logo on the left sleeve.

Dousing everything with gasoline and setting the world ablaze, Common Enemy has unleashed their 5th and most aggressive studio album yet. As the World Burns sparks 16 tracks of pure post apocalyptic chaos, and good times to be had with friends while sitting back and watching it all burn. With influences ranging from hardcore punk to thrash metal, these songs ignite a spastic yet tight, as well as a somewhat, umm… matured… new and exciting sound that is experimental yet familiar, screaming out the pure passion and rage that each member personally feels about the situations that we’re all faced with. This is definitely the soundtrack of mass destruction, so bring your board, your bong, your best buds (both kinds), spark it up, and thrash out with Common Enemy as the world burns! And oh yea, don’t forget your skewers and marshmallows for when you have the munchies.
