Fans who love heavy music as much as I do will sleep happy at night with the Heavy Metal Quilts courtesy of Ben Venom.
The San Francisco-based artist has hand-sewn a variety of Heavy Metal Quilts that encourage you to throw up the devil horns while you sleep. The graphics are a collage of popular metal band images that form what you see before you. With this genre, you can expect skulls, devil horns and a sinister goat, the latter of which represents how Satan was depicted in medieval literature. Quilts are probably the last thing you'd expect metalheads to receive as a reflection of their personality, but as Venom puts it, "even the beasts of Metal need a warm blanket to sleep with."
