RIP.  Sound familiar?

It should. Published between 1986 and 1996, RIP magazine was heralded as the finest hard rock/heavy metal publication of its day. RIP's coverage of the bands that ruled, tooled and fueled the decade of decadence earned it the nickname "Bible of the Bang" and was hailed by fans and artists alike. We've resurrected the classic RIP logo in a limited edition, high-quality series of shirts, hats and accessories. The relentless spirit of rock exemplified in RIP's pages lives on in these items.


We hope to create a community of animated, passionate fans here at THE RIP FILES devoted to the lifestyle, culture, and music that defined the RIP era. The past rocked but it's the here and now we're interested in. Heavy music is alive and healthy. Grab a Tee, feel free, and let it be.
