IoMP 88: The Weirdest Band Merch Ever Made (NSFW Edition)

Merchandising! Merchandising! Merchandising!
As Yogurt once said, it’s where the real money from the band is made — and metal artists have taken that way too literally.

In this unhinged episode of the Influencers of Metal Podcast, Collin and Tom dig into the bizarre world of band merch that went way past T-shirts and patches. We’re talking YUNGBLUD’s blood-filled vinyl, Rammstein’s very personal dildo set, Ghost’s ever-growing collection of religiously blasphemous sex toys, and even a black metal band selling their own bodily fluids at a show (yep, that happened).

It’s disgusting. It’s hilarious. It’s everything that makes metal great and ridiculous in equal measure.
If you’ve ever looked at a merch table and thought, “Why does this exist?” — this episode is your spiritual home.
