That`s what I thought until I Googled them. Eluveitie, from Switzerland, I really have to find out how they connect to Viking drinking horns. they get the whole lot, tees, towels, sweat bands, and viking drinking horns if I can ever manage to get some.

Hellhammer was from Switzerland and is considered one of the pioneers of the genre of thrash/black/death metal even though these genres are generally associated with the nordic countries, so it all kind of get's mixed together I guess. They takes themselves far too seriously to almost comical lengths. Like, I was watching a documentary about this style of music and it was like the main dude from Hellhammer, now Celtic Frost, was trying to turn every memory into a saga during the interview.

I would have guessed it was a crazy Japanese band, that's were you are isn't it Rockers? Are you doing their merch because they are going to tour Japan or just from reputation?

As to the original question, I am pretty sure that drinking horns have never been mass produced.

Yup, good old Hellhammer. Turned into Celtic Frost. Little side note here for anyone reading this is that the artist responsible for a lot of the imagery surrounding these bands is H.R. Giger. He did the effects / monster on a little movie called Alien. Regarding the serious thing yeah, that can happen with the arts, but then again it can happen with anything in this world. If you can't laugh at yourself then who can you laugh at?

But man, Viking Drinking Horns! I want to get some made for our shop hahaha

I have a toy/novelty company catalog at work that may have something too, I know they have Viking helmets. I'll check Monday. They are true wholesale.

Giger did Emerson, Lake and Palmer's Brain Salad Surgery cover, mid to late '70's. He's been around a while now...
