Official Mortician Chainsaw Dismemberment T-Shirt featuring artwork from the American brutal death metal band's notorious second studio album, originally released in 1999 through Relapse Records. Printed on a Gildan Heavy Cotton garment, this officially licensed Mortician band shirt features the Chainsaw Dismemberment album design on the front with a plain back. Combining classic underground death metal imagery with a heavyweight cotton garment, this shirt celebrates one of the most uncompromising releases in horror-inspired extreme metal.

Formed in Yonkers, New York, in 1989, Mortician became one of the most distinctive names in American brutal death metal and deathgrind. Built around bassist and vocalist Will Rahmer and guitarist Roger Beaujard, the band developed an unmistakable sound characterised by extremely downtuned guitars, heavily distorted bass, exceptionally deep guttural vocals, programmed blast beats and samples taken from cult horror films. Drawing influence from early death metal, grindcore and underground horror cinema, Mortician established a reputation for relentless heaviness, minimalistic brutality and a musical identity closely connected to the aesthetics of classic exploitation and slasher films.

Released on 6 July 1999, Chainsaw Dismemberment followed the band's debut full-length Hacked Up for Barbecue and further developed Mortician's distinctive approach to extreme metal. Recorded during March and April 1999, the album features Will Rahmer on bass and vocals, Roger Beaujard on guitar and drum programming, and Desmond Tolhurst on guitar. Its 28 tracks combine crushing, repetitive guitar riffs, machine-like percussion, distorted low frequencies and horror-film dialogue into an unrelenting listening experience. Rather than relying on elaborate technical arrangements, Mortician built their sound around overwhelming heaviness, abrupt rhythmic changes and a deliberately oppressive atmosphere.

Essential tracks include “Stab,” “Fleshripper,” “Drowned in Your Blood,” “Mass Mutilation,” “Island of the Dead,” “Chainsaw Dismemberment,” “Camp Blood” and “Lord of the Dead (Mortician Part II).” The album's horror influences extend beyond its lyrics and song titles, incorporating samples associated with cult films including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, Zombi 2, Friday the 13th Part 2 and Phantasm II. These cinematic elements became an integral part of Mortician's identity, reinforcing the connection between underground death metal and the graphic imagery of classic horror cinema.

The original Chainsaw Dismemberment cover artwork was created by renowned extreme metal illustrator Wes Benscoter, whose work has become closely associated with death metal's visual culture. Its disturbing horror imagery complements the album's brutal musical character and makes the design instantly recognisable to collectors of classic Relapse Records releases and underground death metal merchandise.

Made with a quality Gildan Heavy Cotton garment, this Mortician graphic T-shirt is suitable for concerts, metal festivals and everyday wear. The substantial cotton fabric provides a traditional band-shirt feel, while the front artwork makes it a distinctive addition to a collection of officially licensed extreme metal merchandise.
