Maul Announce Tour with Deterioration Alongside Hilarious Merch Drop

Metal

Fargo,
North
Dakota
death
metal
dynamos
Maul
announced
a
tour
with
Minnesota
grindcore
duo
Deterioration
alongside
the
unveiling
of
a
truly
bizarre
merch
bundle
that
looks
like
an
April
Fools
prank
launched
a
few
weeks
late.
We’ll
get
to
the
tour
dates
in
a
minute,
but
first
I
just
need
to
show
you
the
t-shirt
design
for
this
new
merch
bundle
because
it
truly
is
a
sight
to
see:

Maul Announce Tour with Deterioration Alongside Hilarious Merch Drop

I
understand
the
Maul
are,
as
they
always
remind
us,
from
the
Midwest,
but
this
t-shirt
design
looks
much
less
like
a
death
metal
t-shirt
and
much
more
like
something
so
red-blooded
American
that
even
Ted
Nugent
would
call
it
“a
bit
much.”
Here’s
what
the
band
had
to
say
about
the
merch
bundle
on

Instagram:

“In
honor
of
every
truck
stop
across
this
beautiful
country
that
fuels
both
our
trucks
and
our
stomachs
to
keep
the
strength
up
to
announce
tour
after
tour
while
we’re
already
on
tour.
I
present
to
y’all
the
ROAD
DOGS
bundle
pack
live
now
with
Nightshift
Merch.

“TRUCKER
HAT,
TWO-SIDED
IGNORANT
TEE,
BUMPER
STICKER
Because
in
life
you
can
either
be
a
lap
dog,
or
you’re
a
road
dog!!”

And
yes,
“In
life
you
can
either
be
a
lap
dog
or
a
road
dog”
is
actually
what
it
says
on
the
back
of
the
t-shirt.
As
fellow
Fargo-based
death
metal
act

Gorgatron
hilariously
pointed
out
in
the
comments,
the
best
part
about
this
shirt
design
is
that
it’s
called
the
Road
Dogs
bundle
pack,
and
it
says
“Road
Dogs”
in
big
letters,
but
it
then
features
four
eagles
and
zero
dogs.

Maul
went
on
to
talk
about
the
tour
with
Deterioration:

“Proud
to
finally
unveil
our
next
run
of
the
summer
with
grindcore
legends
@deteriorationmpls
.
17
days
of
carnage
as
we
loop
from
the
Midwest
out
to
the
East
Coast
as
part
of
our
appearance
with
The
New
England
Death
Metal
Funtime
Bonanza
fest.
