Band Hoodies and Sweatshirts: Metal, Rock, Goth and Pop Culture

Metal hoodies and band sweatshirts in one place

This collection brings together band hoodies, sweatshirts, zip-ups and knit sweaters from the EMP selection listed on Vinyles.com. Band merch covers Iron Maiden, Metallica, Rammstein, Motörhead, Slipknot, Sleep Token, AC/DC, Ghost, Powerwolf and Linkin Park. EMP's in-house labels (RED by EMP, Black Premium by EMP, Rock Rebel by EMP, Gothicana by EMP) and streetwear from Urban Classics also take up a good share of the range.

Every item is sold by EMP, an online store specializing in band merchandise and alternative fashion. The "View on EMP" button on each product page leads to its store, where price, sizes, stock, shipping and returns follow EMP's own terms.

Pullover, zip-up or sweater: choosing a band hoodie

The pullover hoodie is the concert classic, a zip-up works open over a t-shirt, a crewneck sweatshirt looks cleaner, and a knit sweater suits days away from the venue. Fit matters as much as with tees: oversized styles are roomy by design, women's cuts sit closer to the body. The size chart and fabric content, whether cotton, polyester or a blend, are listed on the EMP product page.

  • Pullover or zip-up hood
  • Regular, oversized or women's fit
  • Print placement: front, back, sleeves
  • Fabric and lining: check the EMP product page

Bands and brands to look for

On the heavy metal side, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Motörhead and Slayer sit next to Powerwolf, Volbeat and Five Finger Death Punch. Bands that emerged from the mid-1990s on, such as Slipknot, Linkin Park, Ghost, Electric Callboy and Sleep Token, are well covered too, and Nirvana represents '90s rock.

For darker metal hoodies, Killstar, Heartless and Gothicana by EMP lean into gothic style, and Spiral into gothic, fantasy and occult graphics such as wolves, dragons, skulls and Vikings, while Brandit and Lonsdale London go for military and sportswear looks. Pop culture fans get plenty too: Star Wars, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Lilo & Stitch, Stranger Things, Pokémon, Snoopy and Sesame Street.

Care tips and what to pair them with

Wash printed sweatshirts inside out on a cold or gentle cycle, skip the dryer and lay them flat to dry so they keep their shape. Always follow the care label, especially for knitwear. To round out the look, band tees and jackets from the same selection are in the other merch categories.
