(4) <strong>SLUG</strong> Kevin Kirk • Guest Writer For the p<strong>as</strong>t 21 years Kevin Kirk h<strong>as</strong> supplied Salt Lake’s metal heads with CDs, band shirts and screen printed tapestries! The Heavy Metal shop h<strong>as</strong> survived four relocations in three different SLC boroughs. In 1994 Kirk’s business hit the big time when the front of his shop, known for the large fiery SLAYER letters above his logo, w<strong>as</strong> featured in Billboard <strong>Magazine</strong>’s ad for the band’s Divine Intervention album. The Heavy Metal Shop broke UT’s SLAYER sales record by peddling the most copies of the record, but Kevin is still waiting for his gold record plaque today. The infamous Heavy Metal Shop logo h<strong>as</strong> been worn on everyone from Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead and Jamey J<strong>as</strong>ta of Hatebreed, to local heshens and hardcore kids. When <strong>SLUG</strong> heard the Dwarves were coming back to Salt Lake, it w<strong>as</strong> only right for us to <strong>as</strong>k Kirk to come out of his <strong>SLUG</strong> retirement to interview these punk legends.
