Welcome to our eBay store!
Our attraction to horror is visceral and undeniable. Racing pulse and sweating palms, and yet you can’t turn away. It’s shocking . . . yet also exhilarating. It’s what keeps us coming back for more, that rush of fear.
Richmond, Virginia metal-punk trio BAT have been delivering their own blood-spattered horror since ascending from the underground a decade ago on a dark, leather-winged trajectory. The brainchild of Municipal Waste guitarist, Ryan Waste, BAT began in 2008. In 2013, BAT took flight with their debut 'Primitive Age' EP: rough, dark, and laden with an approach that’s straight out of the down-and-dirty side of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, quickly followed by other EPs and 2016's debut 'Wings Of Chains' full-length masterpiece.
In June 2021, the trio decamped to Philadelphia where Arthur Rizk recorded the basic tracks for the new BAT full-length. Yavé Rust tracked lead guitars and vocals later when the band was back in Richmond, ultimately mixed by Rizk.
'Under the Crooked Claw' starts with the perfect mood-setting opener, “Una Torcia Illumina Il Cielo,” courtesy of Italian horror soundtrack maestro Fabio Frizzi. The brief haunting synth piece is like a measured descent into a dank crypt where the living dead erupt with in a fury in the raging ‘Vampyre Lore.’ Eleven more tales of terror follow in rapid succession with a grisly theme throughout. “I feel like the songs could be short horror stories of their own,” notes Waste of his lyrical efforts. “The first single, ‘Rite for Exorcism,’ is basically a reverse exorcism, where the girl is accepting the demon into her and she turns it on the preacher. Evil wins in this case.”
Waste is known for his love of the NWOBHM, but with BAT, he’s taken that influence in a fresh direction on ‘Under the Crooked Claw’, with its tight, concise songs loaded with punchy choruses and lightning-laced leads. “As big of a heavy metal fan as I am, I think the dirtier side of it fits better with my vocals,” he says. “But we try to push the boundaries in BAT between heavy metal, punk and rock ‘n’ roll to where you can’t quite put your finger on it. Dynamically it all coagulates together with our dirty sound. I call it primitive heavy speed. It’s just the nastiest mix of all of the above.”

International Shipping
Shipments to the USA
Our packages to the USA ship via a fully trackable USPS service, USPS Parcel Select. Your USPS number will be shown on the shipping notification email. This number will become active on the USPS tracking site once it enters the USPS network, which is generally within one week of despatch. These shipments generally take 10-14 days to arrive.
You can track for your USPS shipment here: https://tools.usps.com/go/TrackConfirmAction_input
Orders to other major international destinations
Our international mail carrier is Whistl, the mail arm of the FedEx & TNT courier group. The standard service we use, Whistl Insight Packet, is part-tracked. This means that the number shown on the shipping notification email is only valid and trackable within the UK: once the package leaves the UK, the tracking information will not update again. This may give the impression that the package has become stuck, or is being held; please be assured that your package is en route.
This service generally takes 5-18 days since shipment,(this may vary relative to proximity to the UK), but can take up to a maximum of 40 days since despatch.
For the Republic of Ireland, please allow 3-10 days from shipment, up to 14 days since despatch.
For Australia and New Zealand, please allow 7-21 days from shipment.
Once the package enters your country, the final mile delivery will be handled by your national mail carrier. For example, in Canada, it will be delivered by Canada Post.
IMPORTANT: Whistl Insight Packet does not include full, end-to-end tracking. While we recognise that this is included as standard in many countries, unfortunately, this is still a premium service in the UK.
If you have not received your order within 40 days after purchase, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team
Customs Charges
We understand that for international customers, a fee to receive your order may be charged by your local customs authority. Whether a fee is applied is entirely out of our control, and in line with eBay policy, the payment of any such fee (import tax, duty, or any similar customs fees) is the sole responsibility of the buyer.
Please be aware that we will not falsely declare the value of an order for the purpose of reducing the likelihood of your package attracting a customs fee. In order to comply with customs laws both in the UK and internationally, we are obliged to declare the true sales value of the goods.
We offer a no hassle 30-day right-to-return policy.
If, for any reason, you are not 100% satisfied with your order, please contact us within 30 days of receiving it. Please contact us via eBay’s messaging service with your order number, and specify whether you require a refund or an exchange. We will provide detailed return instructions, and then issue a refund or process an exchange upon the item's safe return to us. Please note that we require all returned goods to be returned in the condition in which they were despatched.
Unfortunately, we cannot refund or exchange returned items that have clearly been worn, washed, soiled or intentionally damaged. If in our opinion any of these situations apply to a returned item, we reserve the right to refusal of refund.
Return postage costs
Eyesore Merch cannot cover return postage costs if the item is no longer desired, does not fit, or for any customer error (for example, if the wrong item was ordered).
We will cover the return postage costs if an item arrives in a defective or damaged condition, or if we sent an incorrect item.
Cancellation
If you place an order but then decide that you no longer want the item(s) then you have the right to cancel your order and request a full refund, no questions asked. However, if your order has already been processed and despatched before your order is cancelled, then please refer to our right-to-return policy.
