Hellstar Studios Metal Angel 08 Tour Graphic Tee - Charcoal

An Angel Made of Metal Is Not a Contradiction. It Is the Logical Conclusion of the Hellstar Journey — the Journey in Which the Person Who Enters the Hell as the Soft and Unformed Thing That Has Not Yet Been Tested Exits the Hell as the Thing That Has Been Tested by the Highest Possible Temperature and Has Not Broken, Which Is the Definition of the Metal Angel: the Being That Has the Destination of the Angel and the Constitution of the Metal, That Is Going to the Light and Is Made of the Fire That Produced the Light. — Hellstar Studios Metal Angel Tee, 08 Tour, in Charcoal Burgundy.

The Hellstar Studios Metal Angel Tee is the garment that most directly engages with the central theological and aesthetic paradox of the Hellstar brand — the paradox of the being that is simultaneously of the hell and of the heaven, that has the origin of the one and the destination of the other, that carries the marks of the fire in the constitution of the material it has become while moving toward the light that the fire was always pointing toward. The angel in the traditional iconographic tradition is the being of pure light — the messenger of the divine, the creature of the upper realm, the thing that has never been touched by the fire because the fire is below and the angel is above. The metal angel is the being that has been touched by the fire — that has passed through the hell on the way to the heaven, that has been subjected to the temperature that transforms the base material into the refined material, that has come out of the fire not as the soft thing that entered it but as the hard and permanent and indestructible thing that the fire produces. The metal angel is the Hellstar figure — the person who has been through the hell and has come out the other side not as the person who was destroyed by the hell but as the person who was made by it, who carries the marks of the fire not as wounds but as the evidence of the transformation, who is going to the star because the hell was the path to the star and the path has been completed. The 08 Tour is the specific historical moment at which this figure was documented — the tour that produced the shirt that is the record of the moment, the garment that says I was there when the Metal Angel was named, when the figure was given its form, when the journey from the hell to the star was given its specific aesthetic expression. The tour shirt is always the record of the moment — the proof that the moment existed, that the person who wears it was present for the thing that the shirt documents. Charcoal is the color of the fire’s aftermath — the color of what the fire leaves behind when it has finished its work, the color of the material that has been through the highest temperature and has been transformed by it, the color of the angel after the fire. Burgundy is the color of the life that survives the fire — the deep red of the blood that continues to move through the body that has been through the hell, the color of the wine that is made by the process of transformation, the color of the thing that is most alive precisely because it has been closest to the thing that destroys life and has not been destroyed. Charcoal and Burgundy together are the colors of the Metal Angel — the ash and the blood, the aftermath and the survival, the evidence of the fire and the proof that the fire did not win.
