Suddendeath.com has been overhauled by our good friend and webmaster Shane,so now it’s easier to use than ever. We have also expanded the store – there are a stack of t shirts that you can’t find anywhere else. As well there is a brand new section: RARE VINYL, we are selling 7″ 10” and 12′ that are a little bit hard to find, kinda hard to find and extremely hard to find. Check it out at www.suudendeath.com
