The Red Shore jerseys are back in stock 🚨

We have been getting hit up by a bunch of people who missed out, so we did another small run. Even with the reprint, only 150 of these will ever exist…

Don’t wait around, we aren’t running these again!

OSSIATE x VICIOUS INSTINCT RECORDS 🤝

We’re proud to welcome Melbourne technical death metal band ossiatedm to the Vicious Instinct family!

If you’re a fan of brutal death metal with endless layers of technicality and groove, this one is for you.

Featuring members of ALGOR MORTIS, SLAUGHTERCULT, Deliquesce, T̶R̶E̶P̶A̶C̶I̶D̶E̶, Putrescent Seepage, and Scattered Limbs, Ossiate brings together some of the most talented musicians in the country.

Together, they’re pushing the limits of technical brutality with a sound that is relentless, intricate and completely their own.

Formed in 2025, the band have spent the past year carefully building their lineup and working tirelessly towards the release of their debut EP.

Coming soon via Vicious Instinct Records!

Our drops are often built around albums and their cover art. We try to create the merch we would if we were releasing the record ourselves, and go absolutely all out on it!

Absolutely pumped on these, and can’t wait for all of you to see them in the flesh 😍

Breaking bread and planning moves with SLAUGHTERCULT ❤️

When a band joins the label, they become part of the family. Incredibly impressed with the character of these lads, especially the way they interact with the people who support them!

It feels like we are entering another golden era of extreme music. Vicious Instinct will keep finding sick bands and supporting them any way we can!
