Did you know that New Jersey really loves themselves some Evanescence shirts? Or that a lot of states have a ton of Opeth fans? What about the fact that California needs them some System Of A Down threads? According to a new study by Custom Ink, that's exactly what's happening!
The study also points out two key facts that I'm sure every metal fan already suspected – metal fans have spent the most on band shirts out of all the genres, with the average fan spending $500 in their lifetimel; and metal fans own the most band shirts out of all the genres, with the average fan owning 10 shirts.
If anything, 10 seems a little low, huh? Check out the map provided by Custom Ink below, as well as a list of what metal fans major cities are searching for!
