I know I'm not the only retard here who still buys physical formats and isn't arsed with boring downloads. What tasty gems have you received in the post lately? Waiting for me when I got home today were...
Thorns- 'S/T' DLP.
I didn't like this one at all when I picked it up on CD some years ago. The sterile production wasn't what I was after at all, and so it sat and grew an impressive layer of dust on my shelf. Only last year I decided to give it another go, mainly because I love Snorre's guitar playing on the demo material, and it really grew on me. The LP edition looks fantastic. They artwork which I also wasn't fond of originally looks brilliant blown up- or maybe it looks better to me because I'm enjoying the music more and have become more receptive to the overall concept.
Beyond Dawn-'Pity Love' LP.
I've never bothered with this lot for no real reason but decided to take a chance on it. Something a little bit different than my usual listening, but looking forward to getting stuck into it. I had it on on the phone a week or two ago and it sounded interesting. Not an immediate head over heels reaction but it sounded like one that might get under my skin with a bit of exposure.
Just today I got a Vile Creature T-shirt from Evil Greed. Got their discography compilation in the post (from Amazon) on Friday and should have the new album (Bandcamp) this week. New discovery for me, cracking stuff. Sludge, black metal, doom combo.
Most recently, I've got the two latest Old Man Gloom albums and the Jesu s/t on Vinyl. All great. Had to stop using discogs last year because it was a fucking killer on the pockets but I had my eye on that Thorns album there too. Might have to go back and grab it.
Today I recieved HEAVY LOAD, Death or Glory vinyl reissue from Cruz Del Sur.
Comes with a bonus 4 track cd which is cool and extensive liner notes on each track which I prefer to an album overview from the band.
Apart from being a big fan of the album I've long wanted that artwork in the collection, supercheese or supercool? I know which camp I'm in 8)
Freebie with this from CdR in the form of a white Villainy vinyl entitled II. Never heard of 'em, one 20/100 review on MA doesn't bode well.
Jonathan Wilson - Rare Birds (been obsessed with this fella lately and picked up the record last week.)
VBE - Written In Waters
Cryptopsy - None So Vile
Rev Biz - In the Rectory..
No explanation needed. 3 of my favourite albums. Postage from Svart was 8e.
Could never get into Cryptopsy, the bass always put me off.
Got the expanded edition of Empath by Devin Townsend last week but haven't had a chance to give it a listen yet
Also grabbed the two Xoth albums off bandcamp along with a t-shirt, which is down to my knees it's so fucking big. Why can't there just be standard sizing for shirts?
edit: nevermind

Tell me about it. I bought a Behemoth T-shirt from their site a few years back, XXXL as usual because burgers and I like them baggy. Bloody thing was skintight, barely got into it. Sent it back for a bigger size, said I'd get 5XL just to be safe, and it's like a fucking mumu.
I bought a Suffocation t-shirt at a their gig in Fibbers and yeah, mu-mu is the perfect description for it...
Gaerea - Limbo
Gaerae - S/T
Bathory - The Return (fan club edition)
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (fan club edition)
Burzum on LP....

Nope, small town and small shop on the south coast of Spain.. snatching these things up cos there aren't that many around looking for this kind of stuff. Also got 'Justice..' there last year on double vertigo vinyl (VG condition) for 14 euro, not bad, not cheap but hey. Got a few classic Judas Priest LPs there too, 12 euro each, not too shabby. Shop local if you can haha.
Mercyful Fate - return of the Vampire Ltd Edition LP
Mercyful Fate - The Beginning Ltd Edition LP
Loving these reissues from KD and MF at the moment.
Gonna pick up some of those MF and KD reissues soon as well. They look unreal.
Last few weeks:
Impure - Satan's Eclipse CD. Black/Death in the vein of Void Meditation Cult, Archgoat. Spite side project.
House of Atreus - The Spear and The Ichor that Follows CD. Cool Arghoslent type sound but not as good as the most recent LP.
Lucifericon - The Occult waters MCD. Had this on tape but wanted it for the car. Ripper of an EP.
Spectral Voice - Eroded Corridors of Unbeing LP. Slow, agonising death doom.
Cenotaphe - Monte Verita CD. Epic black metal.
Haven't been spending as much on music, I think I had to hold myself back a bit as given enough lockdown free time to browse distros, I'd have been on the phone to the Credit Union for a cheeky heavy metal loan.

It's fine for vinyl strangely enough but like everywhere else some sellers think they're on Discogs and hike up prices. Just give me a fair price..jeez.
Latest Cirith Ungol and Orodruin records in the door today
'Ruins of Eternity' is so good. Enjoy!
It is indeed, been all over it online these last few months. Came with a neat little logo patch too 8)
I only have the CD. Might have to get the LP for the patch :laugh:

that turntable sounds cool, always nice to find a new life for older stuff
Anathema- 'Serenades' LP. Despite having been a fan of MDB and Paradise Lost for more years than I care to remember, I always overlooked Anathema. Time to rectify that and dive into their doom death stuff.
The Silent Enigma also well worth checking out. Sad that whole era had to be abandoned in favour of the mainstream but they're neither the first nor the last band to tread that path.

Yep, it's on the list as well as 'Crestfallen' and a couple other of their earlier releases. Not mad on the direction they took later either, bar a few good songs here and there.
I don't mind their earlier stuff at all but the peak is "Judgement", what a monument to misery. Not a recent purchase by any means but I have a copy of it on vinyl that, if ye like the album and can find it, is usually a great deal. It cost about €20 and had the 12", CD, and extended liner notes that make for good reading.
Bought a copy of Jesu - "Never" yesterday, waiting on it to be shipped. Good bundle - shirt, CD, vinyl and digital for €45 shipped. Giving the CD away because I don't have a CD player, still... really need to grab one soon.
Is that a Peaceville reissue of 'Judgment'?

I love the majority of Jesu but I don't own a lot on physical, plenty digital. Have vinyl of the s/t and "Everyday...", and now this. CDs of s/t, Silver, and the first rum of Heartache - bought it the week it came out. After loving Godflesh for so long and going into Jesu blind, it was such a savage surprise.

No, Music For Nations. Well worth it if you like the album anyway.

Bought the debut EP the day it came out, couldn't wait to get home and play it - which I did on repeat for hours, just sprawled on the bed. Still my favourite of theirs/his, I must pick up the remastered version.
Around the time of Lifeline or the second album, I found their sound had become very repetitive and samey, so I stopped paying attention. I have a bit of catching up to do but the debut EP & album, Silver, Sun Down/Sun Rise and the split with Eluvium - all that stuff's gold.
Silver is great, as is the S/T and Heartache. The rest of it is mostly excellent, with the odd shit song here and there. Conqueror is my least favourite and I can't put my finger on why. Must try it again to find out
Yeah, Conqueror left me cold. It's not bad as such, just... meh. I find their EPs generally more interesting than their full-length releases TBH, though the s/t is fairly crushing.
Grabunhold- 'Unter dem Banner der Toten' MLP.
That has to be either Industrial or BM, but I bet it's neither
it's quite good melodic black metal

Few things ordered which I'm hoping should arrive at some point this week, nice mix of things
Persefone - Aathma
Carach Angren - Lammendam/Death Came Through a Phantom Ship
Portrait - Crimen Laesae Majestatis Divinae
Rhapsody - The Eight Mountain
Sanctuary - Refuge Denied
Definitely the strongest Portrait release. Great album. The last Black Viper album seems heavily influenced by it.
I'd only listened to a few songs on youtube and liked the sound of them so just picked the cheapest album I saw, glad to hear it's a good choice!

I thought everything both sides have put out since the split has been fairly shit, but I heard the new one is a decent attempt at getting back to their older style. Suppose I'll find out soon enough

Ya. I was excited to see Luca was back with fabio on vocals and that album is awful as well.
I wish he would just go back to the old style and never this cinematic bullshit he's at these days.

Picked up the new Ensnared lp in Tower over the weekend finally (must grab the vinyl of "Dysangelium" next).Great record. Really over the "medieval book full of woodcuts" presentation at this point though. Waiting on a Cursewielder tape currently and eyeing up a few bits for payday
Got a new turntable during lockdown and its great being able to buy vinyl again. Love the format.
Couple of early Razor reissues into the cave today, from ancient dubbed tape copies to glimmering red vinyl , makes working kinda worth it.
Got Enslaved's 'Frost' LP in the post today. It looks the business. Haven't had a chance to play it yet, though.

Just arrived today..
Runespell - Voice of Opprobrium
Khthoniik Cerviiks - Serologiikal Scars
It really is tough to keep up with all of Nightwolfs releases. Between Runespell and Blood Stronghold and releases under his other aliases too. After reading write ups on Khthoniik Cerviiks new one I thought they sounded interesting. Black / Death with heavy nods to Voivod, yes please!

Kerbdog doing a couple of vinyl reissues...
https://overblown.co.uk/alt-rock-irish-legends-kerbdog-to-reissue-both-their-albums-on-vinyl/
Not arsed with the latter pop stuff but might grab the debut.
After 11 weeks in the post I finally got my die cast metal badges from Sahluqtu Archives in Mexico. Logos / Sigils of Vassafor, Temple Nightside, Impetuous Ritual and Funeral Mourning. Took their time getting here but worth the wait.
I nabbed the last copy of the Svart DLP reissue of The Strength to Dream by Warning. Been humming and hawing over getting it for a few months as it's pricey but that album has become my most listened to Warning album in recent times so it would be a pity to miss the vinyl version, particularly as it has the original artwork and I only have the Miskatonic CD reissue that came out after Watching from a Distance, which has revised artwork.
It took me a while to crack but I'd consider it one of my favourite albums now. It's so utterly dismal in terms of the songwriting but also the flat, lifeless production takes a bit of effort to warm to but once you adjust to those idiosyncrasies it reveals itself to be a grim and epic masterpiece.
I have the CD but it never really grabbed me. Must go back to it at some point.
Deathspell Omega - Si Monvmentvm, Fas, Paracletus
Funeral Mist - Salvation
Defo give it a bit of time to sink in. It has a really Victorian Gothic horror feel to it in terms of the lyrics which is only enhanced by the gloomy production. And the title track is one of the most epic songs they have written.
Eternal Tears of Sorrow: Vilda Mánnu. Had been looking for their second album for quite some time. To see it for sale for £4 on ebay plus £5 postage from Russia was a no-brainer. Thought at that price it had to be the pirate version but the inimitable Spinefarm logo was to be seen upon closer inspection. Happy days.
Since it's no-fee day on Bandcamp...
Tomb Mold - Planetary Clairvoyance
Tomb Mold - Manor of Infinite Forms
Schizophrenia - Voices
Exist - Egoiista
Disciples of Verity - Pragmatic Sanction
Cursed Sun - The Amygdala
Cursed Sun - Vendetta
and the Transylvanian Tapes catalogue. Sweet.
Picked up a couple of lovely vinyl second-hand yesterday:
Led Zeppelin - III (seems to be an original French pressing from 1970, slightly worn cover but the wax itself is pristine :-* )
Planxty - Planxty (their "black album"...nothing too special about this pressing, just a great album to have in the house)
Can't go wrong with Planxty. I have the first 3 on original pressing myself, inherited them from my old man.
Only know the first two but they are both 10/10.
Waste of Space Orchestra (Dark Buddha Rising & Oranssi Pazuzu) - Syntheosis (2019) CD
Track 6: Infinate Gate Opening had me crawling on the floor... :laugh:
https://youtu.be/xqCVgFhMUp0
Listened to that a month or two back. It's great but thought it was lacking something.

Gonna have to hold off cause I already have a few to collect from him and Sentinel. IBP titles are always available. Can't get enough of that TN album though.
Will check out the new Rope Sect but they always leave me wanting something more.
I ordered The Somberlain DLP reissue. I must be really wimping out in my old age buying melodic shite like Dissection. I think I need a filth intervention :o
The lack of artwork is cuntish.
I assume there's a booklet with it for the price??

Great band. Heard them a few years back, never ended up buying anything though.
Wouldn't hold out, Andy. This one on discogs has the most pics and it's bare enough.
https://www.discogs.com/release/13447436-The-Somberlain/images
Hang on! The recent reissue of The Somberlain has removed the artwork completely?
The joint Black Horizon/TheEnd/Norma Evangelium Diaboli reissues of both albums from around 2006 or so were really well done. Double LP's with bonus material, demos and a large format booklet with liner notes and photos. Surely there'd be little effort in even trying to remotely replicate those ones?
It' black lodge / sound pollution though. Don't they have a bit of a rep for being shady / disreputable? Especially when it comes to unauthorised or half arsed reissues?

I ordered The Somberlain DLP reissue. I must be really wimping out in my old age buying melodic shite like Dissection. I think I need a filth intervention :o
Yup. I was about 40 before they actually clicked with me probably as a result of Purcell haha.
Just picked up both Ossuary tapes.
Yup, as far as I can gather. A shitty etching of it on one of the sides but that seems to be it. I had mentioned it online a few weeks ago and Scobes said there must be some reason for it. That's all the detail I have. The new one looks shit.
As long as ye don't venture into Reinkaos territory, ye're grand.
Aaaaah bollix!
New Bob Mould box set coming out in October, just pre-ordered it there. 24 CDs covering all of his post-Husker Du work up to 2019 (his latest album isn't included) with loads of live and rare stuff for £86, not bad at all.
The same material is being released on vinyl in 8LP sections if ye deaf fuckers want to hold out for that. 😉

Much as I like Bob Mould, that’s a lot of Bob Mould :laugh:. Any Sugar stuff in there?
Yep: Beaster, Copper Blue, File Under Easy Listening, Besides and the live one. Plus a couple of other projects I wasn't aware of too: Loudbomb and Blowoff.
Dawn of Martyrdom by Agatus arrived today. I'll get stuck in to it amarach.
Ithaqua- Initiation to Obscure Mysteries and Ithaqua – The Black Mass Sabbath Pulse, very much typical Greek BM in the same vein as early RC or Varathron. The cover is totally shite but the music is top notch.
I funny l find myself on a bit of a Greek BM buzz lately. I haven't really followed Ithaqua but maybe I should check them out.
Ljosazabojstwa - Głoryja Śmierci CD
Great to see this getting a physical release.
That's next on my shopping list.
Today was a good metal day...
Dissection- The Somberlain DLP. Cuntish, inexplicable lack of artwork, particularly when the artwork that should have been there is something so iconic, but looking forward to getting stuck into it.
Warning- The Strength to Dream DLP. Great to have this on vinyl with the original gaudy artwork. A sublime album.
Just arrived today -
Temple Nightside - Pillars of Damnation lp
Vassafor - To the Death dlp
Svartidaudi - Temple of Deformation cd
And a decent Vassafor long-sleeved tee, all from Iron Bonehead. Happy days.
Mastiff- Plague (lp), Bork (lp)
The Acacia strain- Slow decay (lp)
Gehenna-First and Second Spell at last secured second hand in very good condition. Could never warm to their subsequent output in the same way. Gorguts-Considered Dead €20 for original. Night in Gales-Towards the Twilight courtesy of second hand UK dealer. The latter have released a new album which is up next on Spotify as the order from Russia snakes it's way west.

That's disappointing, this along with SOTLB deserve better treatment especially considering the prices some of the older presses go for. Even the last press of Storm was a boot but by all accounts a very good one. No art and a pointless etching? Think I'll stick with my OG CDs
Candlemass - Nightfall
Mercyful Fate - Melissa, Don't Break the Oath
King Diamond - No Presents for Xmas
Manilla Road - Open The Gates
Obliteration - Black Death Horizon
Surely not the sort of thing this thread is designed for, but I picked up cd copies of Ride The Lightning and And Justice For All for 50 cent each yesterday. Happy days.

The thrill of the hunt, innit.
My best charity shop score was a few years ago when I got Alex Lifeson's solo album 'Victor' for a euro.
I mean, it's unadulterated shite, but being the Rush fanboy that I am I was still thinking about pulling the trigger on it
for a much higher price just for "the shelf".
I'm always haunting the charity shops and also Dealz CD section on the off chance I'll find something decent. It is indeed the thrill of the hunt. Like I can buy any album I want online (and do!) but I still enjoy the old school buzz of the physical search.
Had a browse through some of the charity shops at the weekend, if I was big into 90s pop I'd have had a field day. The hunt continues...
Vile Creature - Glory, Glory, Apathy Took Helm
Fluisteraars - Bloem
Dead In The Manger - Cessation
Cardinayl Wyrm - Cast Away Souls
All on vinyl.
Also picked up two Irish releases on Bandcamp, Celtachor - Fiannaiocht and Laochra - Home and Heart.
Streaming some From The Bogs Of Aughiska at the moment. Really liking the sound of this.

W.A.S.P. - The Headless Children - the CD I have is one of the reissues where they cut a bar out of The Heretic in order to squeeze on a bonus track. This annoys the shit out of me every time I listen to it and I've been meaning to replace it for years. There's an original EMI copy on the way.
If anyone wants to help some locals out. 450 in the hole on the CD alone

That annoyed me as well, throws me off everytime, thoughts on Lake Of Fools?, savage song, personally I'd have had that on the album over The Real Me even though it probably doesn't keep with the album flow perhaps?
I bought The Real Me 7" back in the day and Lake of Fools was the B side. It's a slow burner alright, took me a while to get into it but it's class for sure. It would stick out like a sore thumb on the album though. It's hard to imagine it without The Real Me.

Is that the case on every reissue? On Wikipedia it just mentions the '98 version, it's an album I haven't owned since buying the tape when it came out, and I'd like to pick it up on CD but don't want a copy with that flaw. I have a download of it as it is and that tbrows me off every time.
No idea how many are affected. Mine is a mid-2000's one but it uses the Sanctuary version with the edit. It's fucking ridiculous they did that to get, what, 5 seconds extra? They could have sped up a fade out or trimmed an intro. I'd hate to buy this problem again so an original EMI version off ebay for a fiver will sort it permanently.
Aye, that's the way to go I reckon. Not bothered about the bonus tracks TBH.
I'm pleased

Now this is fucked up. The original arrived today and The Heretic is 7:16. On the reissue,
with the edit, it's 7:23 :laugh:
Fucksake. Shorter fade in maybe? There's a torrent with 2 or 3 versions of it, I'll suss it out that way. Pricey enough for an original version.
Anyway, just bought an Obituary 'classic set' T-shirt from some Polish shop on Ebay. I emailed Obituary's own site there and they aren't restocking them, so fuck it. Hopefully it's a decent print and not a shitty bootleg.
I think the reissue is slightly slower. Really, barely noticeably slower and lower in pitch. Fuck it, this EMI version is the one I grew up with so happy days. It was cheap enough off ebay.
Was chatting about the album with Chris Holmes when he played here in 2018 and he did say that parts of it were sped up during the original recording alright...by the way does anyone know what's being said in the spoken word part before Thunderhead kicks in?
I haven't bought a cd in years and decided to buy Sitra Ahra by Therion as I hadn't really given it a good go and the album cover is nice.
Turns out it's actually pretty good. Not a patch on the ones before and a bit different but it's got this kind of 70's occult vibe that I kind of like.
The song Land Of Canaan is a really good 10min long song with brilliant opera and classical parts and the bass throughout is lovely.
Love that over the top stuff!

Pre-ordered the new Nick Cave solo live album there. A lot of people seem to dislike that side of his stuff (like The Boatman's Call) but I'd be a big fan.

It’s at 2:42, shortly after the first chorus. There are two bars of the celtic sounding riff, followed by a bar of open E chugging, a three bar section. Then the same section repeats and there are three bars of the celtic sounding riff and the open E bar straight afterwards, a normal four bar section. When the section repeats later in the song at 3:07, both times it has three bars of the riff followed by the bar of open E. It baffles me that they chose to do this, it’s so fucking jarring. The original, of course, has four bars every time.
I realise I now have bought this CD three times. I bought the Sanctuary version years ago and bought a Electric Circus/Headless Children double CD edition a few years later hoping it had the unedited version. Should have stuck with my original tape

Nein. Ordered them from Cult Never Dies. Must grab the Pagan Prosperity LP at some point. I recently grabbed Born of the Flickering (the recent tape edition) and haves been enjoying it a lot more than I did as a kid. I got the Pagan Prosperity t-shirt from Cult Never Dies recently too and it looks great.

So, a couple of missing pieces from the collection on their way to me now:
Candlemass - Nightfall

Just availed of the same Sentinel offer.
Eternal Champion - Ravening Iron LP
King Diamond - Abigail LP
Earlier in the week I picked up
Cenotaph - The Gloomy Reflections of Our Hidden Sorrows
Blood Incantation - Hidden History of The Human Race
ELEND - SUNWAR THE DEAD CD
Always liked 'Winds Devouring Men' as background music while reading so finally picked up another Elend. This one feels more structureless , ethereal , yet even more austere. Like a soundtrack to what I imagine East Germany must have been like after WWII. Not that I do that a lot.. Think I still prefer WDM though.
6/10
VARATHRON - GLORIFICATION UNDER THE LATIN MOON CD
This hit the spot nicely this week, a bit of gig nostalgia probably but it's a storming setlist and an overall aura that strangely reminds me of that old Tiamat live ep. Love the booklet too, little notes and flags of the South American countries visited. Very pleased with this buy actually so I'm gonna go 8/10
WOMBBATH - CHOIRS OF THE FALLEN LP ( Brown vinyl)
Standard issue Swedeath, enjoyable enough , definitely unfortunate to have arrived while Clandestine is still hanging around the turntable. Having said that it's a good kick in the ass after the Elend wallowing .

Count Raven – Storm Warning - LP (rusty)
Destroyer 666 - Call of the Wild - LP
Katatonia – Dance Of December Souls - LP
Katatonia – Brave Murder Day - LP
newest cassette on Fomorian Hate
HEATHEN - EMPIRE OF THE BLIND CD
Disappointing after the previous effort, not much grabbing me here at all . Every bit as uninspired as the title suggests. 5/10
TERMINAL NATION - HOLOCENE EXTINCTION LP
Took a bit of a punt on this one and been rewarded in spades, Dismember riffs with Barney Greenway style vox.
"You wouldn't know oppression if it nailed you to the fucking cross." Lyric of the year :abbath: 7.5/10
ATRAMENTUS- STYGIAN CD
Funereal doom akin to Evoken or Skepticism , only not as good to these ears , gave up on the ludicrous lyrical concept after a few lines, completely superfluous for this type of music. Fine artwork though, really wanted to go vinyl but this ain't music I want to be getting up to flip sides on. 6/10
I had great hopes for that Atramentus album but it was missing something, played it a few times on Spotify but could never get into it.

Yeah, I mean it was long enough in the making ,I wonder if more went into the story than the actual music. I like putting it on to lie down during the day (I work nights) but in the same sort of ballpark the last Evoken, Hypnagogia, is vastly superior.
Vintersorg- Till Fjälls del II.
This CD arrived in the post today. It comes with a bonus disc but I can't seem to find info on what that is. Re-recordings of older material? An EP? Trés mysterious!
Edit. If a review I read is correct, it seems the 2nd CD is a companion to/ continuation of Hedniskhjärtad. I have grown to love that EP so high expectations.
King Crimson - Discipline
Tulus- Pure Black Energy CD. Just arrived so that'll be my evening's entertainment with a few Guinni. Man, what a cover. It gives the Gjendød debut a run for its money :laugh:
Where did you pick up the Gjendød stuff? The label bandcamp?
Hellthrasher for the albums, Darker than Black/Merchant of Death for the EPs and the vinyl editions of the albums.
Thanks. I was on the hell thrasher bandcamp. I'll have to get the first album with the jolly cover.
Yep, it's class. Their new album is coming out on the 28th which from the samples sounds like it will be a winner. If you can grab this demo compilation I'd recommend it. This is their best stuff so far, in my opinion.
https://www.metal-archives.com/albums/Gjend%C3%B8d/Skygger_fra_d%C3%B8dsriket/728720
Thanks for the recommendation. I saw they have a new one coming. That shirt is calling out as well.
A shirt with the new album cover? I'd buy that! Nice to see another side of Kittelsen's work.
Gehenna-First Spell
Old Man's Child-In the Shades of Life
Ancient-Svartalvheim
All originals and price including postage very reasonable so happy out. :abbath:
I was wrong, sorry. The shirt i was looking at was from the release last March with the yellow/ brown cover
Ah yeah, Krigsdøger.
Effroi/ Crypts of Wallachia split 7".
Nine different Swans albums on CD. Had various ones in bits and bobs over the years but wanted to get the proper versions, especially after seeing the documentary the other week. Could probably have skipped buying the Soundtracks For The Blind/Die Tür Ist Zu reissue as I have the originals but I'm an idiot, so...
Wytch Hazel- III: Pentecost CD.
Wreck of the Hesperus - Sunken Threshold
Existentiell #1
Got both from the Existentiell bandcamp page. Looking forward to reading Existentiell, I already have #2, which is excellent. And like (most of) Bardo Methodology, even if you're not familiar with the band or music, it's still an interesting read.

Corrupted – 7"s Collection (2 x CDr)
Bought from a guy in Ukraine
It's a bootleg
One of the comments from some fella, about him selling this was: "RIPPING OFF CORRUPTED. AMAZING FAN FROM UKRAINE. WOT'S WRONG WITH YOU PAL?"
So ye know, I have 10 releases by Corrupted
I bought this 2xCDr, as I would only end up buying them 2nd hand anyway, at inflated prices
Corrupted have already been paid
Or am I wrong?

I've yet to check this out. I love both bands so I'm hoping it hits the spot for me.
In the post today...
Beherit- H418ov21.C LP but because of Invictus's complete and utter LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM it has the Electric Doom Synthesis LP in the sleeve. Suffice to say Invictus is dead to me. Oh no, wait. Maybe I'll just get Electric Doom Synthesis off him next week with the H418ov21.C LP inside. Close one, Invictus. Close one indeed!

Have that on LP myself. How fucking good it is....
https://youtu.be/xJiQRbqPmfI
The Gjendød- Angrep CD just came through the door. Hup! Sounds ferocious.
Diabolical Masquerade- Ravendusk in my Heart LP. I picked this up in Tower this afternoon, having eyeballed it online a few times lately. I've only checked them out a couple of times before and they have really clicked with me. I'm on a bit of a mad buzz for that style of BM these days and this album is a complete riff fest. Ferocious yet clear production on it too.
Edit. Halfway through my second consecutive spin. This is a beaut.
Bought all 5 of the Emperor half-speed remasters. Haven't listened to them yet.
I'll probably give them a spin later today,
Gee eyed last night ordered all the Mork albums, and 3 Burzum albums.

Got the new Nomadic Rituals album in the post today. Wax-sealed into an envelope, I don't want to ruin it by opening it!
Not a recent purchase, but seemed a good place to mention that Osmose Productions have re-released both Emissaries and Sphynx on LP, for anyone who might be interested.
Emissaries - there's one i havent heard for a long time, must go listen again, that was great....
That sorta shuffle, disco beat comes to mind immediately whenever I think of them.
Got some new vinyl over the xmas.
Gama Bomb -Sea Savage
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades
Carcass - Choice Cuts
Deicide - Scars Of The Crucifix

Earache are selling off some vinyl on the cheap for anyone interested. That Carcass one was only a tenner

Bought the tape but it hasn't arrived yet. The album itself is totally class, given it a few spins now, it keeps getting better.
If it had come out a week or so earlier, it would have been my album of the year. Seriously good.
May pay attention to UK sites now as import charges are the norm from now on. Fairly shit now, can always buy from other EU sites etc
Are small value items not exempt from the charges?
It goes by value of the product as far as I know. Perhaps so
Vital Remains - Forever Underground - Reissue

Undergang / Gorephilia – Split EP 7"
Enough to keep me tickin' over for a day or two!
Dropped into Fnac, the French HMV basically, today to grab a memory card so, of course, perused the vinyl a bit. Jesus, the store prices have really properly gone crazy again now for the regular on the shelf albums, loads around the €30+ mark! A few nice promos though, so came out with the Zep vinyl collection expanded by Houses of the Holy and Presence at €15 a pop.
Green Lung - Woodland Rites

Always found the prices in Fnac stores to be high - Even for CDs. Last time I was in one was the store in Cannes around May/April 2019 and the prices seemed silly then. There were a few LP's for upwards of €50. Though I did find a bargain bin and got Emperor, Trust and LARD LPs for €10 each so not all bad...

I was just perving on that today. Liked the title and art enough that I was going to take it for a test drive after work.
It sounds brilliant. I loved the previous stuff and this sounds just as good
Boobs and birds incoming!
Eternal Champion - Ravening Iron

Hehe, well put , apart from the delightful album cover ,that Eternal Champion is great stuff. I had it side to side with the Megaton Sword album for months there.

I got mine over two weeks ago I'd say, maybe more. Obvious enough question, but your subscription hardly ran out on the last issue by any chance? Never had any issues with delivery before.
I just get them individually man, no subscription. The fact that it's only been two weeks since you got yours gives me a bit of hope yet! Just figured it was caught up in the Xmas mail onslaught. If it doesn't land it'll be bought again in the future that's for sure.
Bandcamp day purchases, all digital unless stated:
Timeghoul discography 92-94. New band to me, thanks to a recommendation on scifi themed dm someone else sought out, a steal at 1.50e.
Stormkeep - Galdrum; was holding out for a vinyl but they are either gone or only available with crazy US shipping.
Cirkeln - Kingdoms that No One Remembers; pretty good if you're into Tolkien and fantasy nonsense black metal like I am.
Sépulcre - Ascent Through Morbid Transcendence, looking forward to the full length.
Blood Incantation - Starspawn Vinyl, still seeking Hidden Histories...
Entombed - Left Hand Path CD, dont own this surprisingly, and going for 10e including shipping.
Had to stop there, dont drink and shop lads.
Been looking at lot of the Fuck Yoga Releases as I'm gonna grab the Bacterium record. Not easy when you're looking to save bucks but needs must. :abbath:
For some reason the fuck yoga bandcamp page doesn't even appear in the search on the app. I wanted to pick up the Bacterium vinyl too but it wouldn't load up earlier. Just checked now again and it comes up on a normal web browser though - strange.

Strange behaviour, but a strange label ;)
I'll grab the Bacterium and maybe that Serbian mad yoke and a zine. Didn't even know it was in Macedonia which helps with shipping. Fully expected it to be US and disaster on the shipping front.

Yeah I fucked out a load of vinyl from the Bandcamp cart today that wasn't EU shipping - anything US or UK basically. I ended up just buying digital of the same albums anyway though. Will go back next week when the cash is back and grab that Bacterium regardless, just off a PC instead of the phone app!
Cheers fellas. Yeah, searching for the label can be tricky. If you just put in Fuck Yoga instead of Fuck Yoga Records you'll be led down a terribly distracting path :laugh:
Edit. I can ask Ray and Muiris if either of them have copies left to sell of that's any use to you? My own copies are gone.
Candlemass: Nightfall, Ancient Dreams & Tales Of Creation. Never got round to picking them up on CD so I nabbed the reissues with the bonus material.
A few Bandcamp purchases/pre-orders yesterday:
Caged: Stricken By Continuance EP
Fraught: Splitting Tongues

Caladan Brood - Echoes of Battle 2xLP moss green
Stumbled across this when there were only 2 copies left, trying to buy a shirt from the bandcamp. Very difficult to find considering its popularity, one of those jackpot moments when I happened across it at the right time.
There are a ton of Summoning-worship bands that can all be safely ignored, but this is a masterpiece of the style that rivals (and arguably bests) Summoning themselves. Always curious if they'd release something else or show up in different bands, strange that they did this and then disappeared.

You're right, I knew about the overlap with Gallowbraid but not Visigoth. That makes more sense i guess, though I'd still wish to see more Caladan. Yes if you're into Summoning it should hit the spot.

One of the best things I've ever heard. I got the orange pressing 2 years ago, it's a beautiful package, especially with the inner sleeves as well.
That and Gallowbaird were great random discoveries on youtube for me. Couldn't listen to Visigoth though, wrecking me buzz when thinking of what could be done instead. Northern Silence keep indicating something's on the horizon (check out Can Bardd by the way).
I started with Caladan Brood and tried Summoning afterwards but the production was terrible. What would ye actually recommend that's listenable?
I got this on bandcamp Friday, might be of interest as they cover CB:

Stumbled across this when there were only 2 copies left, trying to buy a shirt from the bandcamp. Very difficult to find considering its popularity, one of those jackpot moments when I happened across it at the right time.
There are a ton of Summoning-worship bands that can all be safely ignored, but this is a masterpiece of the style that rivals (and arguably bests) Summoning themselves. Always curious if they'd release something else or show up in different bands, strange that they did this and then disappeared.
One of the best things I've ever heard. I got the orange pressing 2 years ago, it's a beautiful package, especially with the inner sleeves as well.
That and Gallowbaird were great random discoveries on youtube for me. Couldn't listen to Visigoth though, wrecking me buzz when thinking of what could be done instead. Northern Silence keep indicating something's on the horizon (check out Can Bardd by the way).
I started with Caladan Brood and tried Summoning afterwards but the production was terrible. What would ye actually recommend that's listenable?
I got this on bandcamp Friday, might be of interest as they cover CB:
https://keysoforthanc.bandcamp.com/album/of-the-lineage-of-kings
Keys of Orthanc are a new one on me. My favourite Summoning is Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame. They're production improves and gets more expansive as time goes on but this is the best writing for me, though it took a small while to get past that tiny 'bedroom' sized production, you have to be fairly on board with the drum machine to get going. :laugh:
Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame is the one I reach for quite like Stronghold and Dol Guldur haven't listened to With Doom We Come. Was just checking out the prices of the Sounds of Middle-earth boxset, I nearly choked on my brew. :-\
Fossilization - He Whose Name Was Long Forgotten CD
Primitive sounding death metal with plenty of doom thrown in:

Got them off Drakkar. Think it was 8e postage or thereabouts.
Deadly. That's nothing. Ordered that and the latest Obskuritatem. Pretty sure Darragh is getting the Angelcorpse reissues so will hold off on them. Will def be ordering more from him though.
Yeah they arrived from France in no time too. I noticed they had some Osmose reissues in stock for a good price alright...but likewise would prefer to buy from Invictus or Sentinel if possible.
IP won't have all the Angelcorpse reissues. Osmose is similar postage as Drakkar.

Must get a copy of that meself. Did pick up a BTL shirt the other week though, couldn't resist it, initially only wanted an Oranssi Pazuzu longsleeve but saw the Enslaved one and an October Rust one on the same site. They saw me coming, surely.

The Lord Weird Slough Feg - Traveller LP
A near mint copy turned up on discogs last night, and I just...I just couldn't resist :-X :-X :-X
Hopefully that's my midlife crisis out of the way now :abbath: :abbath: :abbath:
Nice one. Slough Feg on wax is very hard to come by.
Coscradh - Mesradh Machae 7"
Oath of Cruelty - Summary Execution At Dawn LP
Black Wings of Devastation MC
Grabbed a copy of Black Wings of Devastation on tape as soon as I could, some issues with Paypal just as it was released but got it sorted in the end
Also picked up a class patch set of Thin Lizzy Black Rose from Woven Hoof patches
Same here, just pre-ordered the tape from Black Wings of Devastation even though I don't own a tape player. Just wanted to give support and get the digital download. :abbath:
Eeehhh bought Squirrel and The G Man by Happy Mondays, really dig them jam fluid instrumentation playing off each other as supposed to over vibes but.....so so album
Also bought Karma to Burn debut album, enjoy it and keep it in the car but I dont know, its cool but that's as far as it goes, like it Jams but cant mulitple repeat listen.
Some nice Post today, Stormkeep - Galdrum and Ghengis Tron - Dream Machine, both on wanker coloured vinyl. Genghis Tron were totally new to me when that latest album came out, bought it after streaming the first 2 songs. Fantastic album.
Këkht Aräkh - Pale Swordsman cassette
https://kekhtarakh.bandcamp.com/album/pale-swordsman
Captures that early 90s Black Metal sound and feeling really well. Found myself revisiting the album a few times over the last 2 days so picked up the cassette pre-order
The fucking state of your one. She looks like she is waiting for the first bus home after the Trinity Ball and her fella has fucked off to get a Supermacs.
Edit. I clicked on it and it's not too bad. Nice melodies but I think it's something I'd tire off pretty quickly. It might be better without the BM element...
The photo is fuckin gas. Had a listen the last day and it didn't do a whole lot.
Yet more post, yet more vinyl.
Summoning - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame
Nile - Ithyphallic
Immortal - Pure Holocaust
Scáth na Déithe - The Dirge of Endless Mourning
Scáth na Déithe is another Irish bm project that I hadn't heard of til recently, but this is a fantastic, with a great concept too.
Also bought Black Wings of Devastation on CS, even though I promised myself I wouldn't get into tapes but there you go. Expect a future post looking for advice on a cassette player I guess
Arghoslent arrived along with a nice Swastika embroidered flag for hanging out the front of the house. For anyone that doesn't know me, I'm joking. I hate embroidery.
Obskuritatem - Hronika iz Mraka
Scald/ Pocc- Agyl's Saga CD.
The new Wolvennest album Ritual MMXX is released on Ván Records and available for the princely sum of €3 to download on Bandcamp....

Not a bad price for almost an hour of top class tunes....
The AngelCorpse represses from Osmose.
Couple of metal as fuck vinyl purchases from Sentinel this week:
The Doors - The Doors
The Cranberries - Everybody Else Is Doing It So Why Can't We? (this one a gift for the missus)
It can be pretty handy Scobes stocks a bit of non-metal stuff, and it's also an amusingly totally random selection he has.
The Doors is a great album in fairness. I can take or leave The Cranberries.
Same as man, which is what makes it the perfect vinyl gift for her; she won't be able to suspect it's secretly as much for me as her!
Doors s/t is phenomenal alright, looking forward to that arriving. I listen to all their albums regularly enough, but this'll be the first to have on record.

It's a pity Argohslent were so political. Talented bunch but the chances of a European tour or decent sales were pretty low.
Hot Shower or one of those fests are the only chance you'd have of ever seeing themselves or GBK over this side.
Yeah, not sure it'd be worth sitting through a weekend of sitting through a weekend of black metal homage to uncle Adolf just to see them.
There are always one or two bands at HS that look appealing, but yeah, a full weekend of sieg heilery might be a bit exhausting. Not sure my arm would be up to the task.
The amount of drool from the clientele would be very off-putting.
I don't mind listening to NS themed stuff when it's good. The good stufff probably only accounts for a tiny fraction of a percent of the overall output. Can't imagine spending the whole weekend listening to lads bleat on about Jew's, blacks and whatever else.
Lots of sludge-y stuff.

FNM are never off my playlist at work. Been lucky enough to have caught them live a few times too.

The Entombed AD ones went AWOL in transit. Fired an email to Century Media after waiting 2 months and had replacements through my letterbox five days later .
Pre-ordered the repress of Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race LP. missed this a number of times, will be thrilled to have it on vinyl at last.
Also Spectral Lore - Ετερόφωτος LP. Only given it one full listen so far but already sold on it. Much like Sentinel, an atmospheric black metal album with little flourishes of Byzantine passages. Vast and beautiful and sometimes even catchy, as opposed to the frantic sort of chaos some of his albums (the brilliant 'III') produce.
At last I picked up the second and third full length from Gjendød.
Angrep is such a ripper.
Sounds like ye're both just out of Ikea.
Picked up the Vermian album on Bandcamp yesterday. Also grabbed the Abysm EP, pre-ordered the second one and a T-shirt while I was at it.
It is indeed. I wish they would put out an Angrep shirt.
Yeah, the artwork is savage.
Combined CD reissue of Solstice's To Sol A Thane and Death's Crown Is Victory EPs, be rude not to.
Edit- wrong thread.
The selecter- too much pressure (vinyl) reissue. Had this for years on vinyl and literally destroyed it playing it at parties and drinking sessions in the house. Great album and a great lead singer Pauline Black
Ordered the box set for the new release from the Vicious Head Society's new album "Extinction Level Event" . Great prog/metal from Co Clare.

Today, I think. Just nabbed one from Invictus along with 'Abyss of Bug-Eyed Deities'.
Cheers lads. The MLPs are available to order now but the official release date is tomorrow, not a very formal release as you can probably tell! I'll be making a separate post about it shortly.

Went on the Invictus shop for the Absu record and found it by chance, knew it was out officially this week though. Total chance.
Sorry for spoiling ;) I'll be putting off listening till I get the record, looking forward to it!

Nice one for pointing that out. I had been checking for it numerous times on bandcamp, including the last bc Friday. Seems they released this just afterwards. Gone from my wishlist now eventually, after not buying it originally as hoping to pick it up at the planned Limerick gig! Thanks again.

No problem. Yeah it's been on my list since release, really conspired to miss it every time. Hopefully there is a rescheduled Irish gig with them as headliners, that lineup for Limerick was ideal.
In a similar vein, the Timeghoul represses are still available think, that's another one I was waiting a while for.
Couple of Iron Maiden T-shirts, they have a sale on at the moment.
Gift acquisitions rather than purchases:
Parliament - Mothership Connection
Funkadelic - Standing On The Verge of Getting It On
It'd be rude not to add Maggot Brain, so I'll have to get on to that myself I 'spose.
My Windir represses are finally in the post. Arntor and 1184 on wanker coloured vinyl, very excited to get these.
Corr Mhóna: Abhainn. Finally.
Cross Vault - As Strangers We Depart LP from Ironbonehead
I must pick that one up at some stage. I really liked the song I listened to from it.
Teitanblood - Death
Thantifaxath - Thantifaxath
Antediluvian - Logos
Bloodhammer/Ride for Revenge - Chords of the Left Hand
Rebirth of Nefast/Slidhr - Ex Nihilio
Picked up Flotsam & Jetsam's 'No Place For Disgrace' Metal Blade/Elektra first US CD version in a Vincent de Paul shop for €1 earier today.
That's a neat find
Sweet find.
God Dethroned - Illuminati
S U R V I V E - RR7349
Also lost the run of myself in Golden Discs today and bought yet another Megadeth compilation and the new Gojira. Just happy to be in any kind of music shop!
Watching the Anthrax documentary series, realised I didn't have Fistful Of Metal or Armed And Dangerous anymore, lo and behold there's a reissue with both packaged together. So picked that up there.
New Flotz record on the door step today. Eric is still one of the top ten Metal vocalists for my money. Few Guinness' down and I'm recalling the last show at the Academy, was outside , he was there, suitably inebriated, some bird sashays past ,his eyes follow her butt as do mine, we both look up and have a bro moment. Naturally I went over, shook his hand and said they don't make 'em like that in the States.
Fuck. Gigs eh?.

Yeah 2002 sounds about right, was at the Music Centre show, they were phenomenonal that night
No music there unfortunately, but if any of ye are interested, Candlemass have a big merch sale running on their homepage shop.
Couldn't resist nabbing the new Perverted Ceremony 7" and long sleeve. I bet I'll be out the gap before it arrives :-X
Pre-order of the Arcane Sun from Sentinel.
Gonna have to grab those two tshirts too :o
Yeah, got one of those too. Wouldn't have gotten away with both; am constantly being asked (and thankfully so far I am actually being asked) if I couldn't lighten the black t-shirt load on closet space just a little bit. Since your closet is now a shipping container, I guess you don't have that problem :laugh:
I actually gave Muiris around 60 tshirts so I've a bit of space to fill up again :P
T-Shirts are a major space problem alright.
Unless they are totally knackered, I hate to part with any of them.
Even the smaller, tight fitting ones from way back in the day that I'm still living in (false)hope of ever wearing again :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Quote from: Eoin McLove on June 12, 2021, 11:54:16 AM
I actually gave Muiris around 60 tshirts so I've a bit of space to fill up again :P
Did that Mooncitadel shirt last or did it fray?
I have 2 MC shirts and both are in perfect nick.
I've decided to knock the vinyls on the head for the foreseeable...mainly because my stereo is badly in need of an upgrade and I just don't get the use out of them. So back to CDs at the moment.
Recently picked up Leave Scars and Time Does Not Heal. Not sure why it took me so long, Darkness Descends is an all-time favourite, dunno maybe it was their lukewarm reception at the time of release. Anyway, both are absolutely class and on near constant rotation at the moment. I'd put them up there with Vanity/Nemesis in terms of underrated gems.
Paradise Lost- 'Draconian Times' 2CD 25th anniversary edition.
Noosed discography CD & T-shirt
Hapless Wretch: Vol. 1 CD
Waiting for Anthrax: Fistful Of Metal / Armed And Dangerous reissue CD to arrive.
Grabbed a few records last week for the first time in a long while.
NIN - "Bad Witch"
Black Midi - "Cavalcade"
Slomatics / Holly Hunt split EP
All found in Steamboat Records. These were spread out in the rock/pop section but their Metal section is gone pretty good too, there's about 8 crates of it in there at the minute.
Also preordered the Lingua Ignota record and a Sumac longsleeve off Evil Greed.
Managed to nab a copy of the HEart of the Ages DLP reissue through NWN. 8)
Raided High Roller for a Jag Panzer boost..

Shadow Thief demo 12"
The Fourth Judgement CD
The Deviant Chord CD
Perverted Ceremony - Cavernous Hallucinations 7" & shirt.
Devin Townsend - Eras I & II boxsets
Bolt Thrower - Realm of Chaos (original pressing)
Saw one going for not crazy money on discogs so nabbed it. Tis actually a seller based in Ireland calling himself "funkyfrenchdude", and here he is selling to a moshingmicklad based in France!
Nice. I think my brother has that and War Master on gatefold, the original presses. He had anyway, he bought plenty of the early Earache releases back in the day.
I'm after the original CD myself, the reissue I bought for the DVD but it's a different version of the album - there's a four count between the intro and the first track, for instance. I think it's an FDR remaster, too.
This has the insert, but it's not the gatefold. The gatefold with insert in good nick is generally crazy money. Would be lovely to have, but not in my budget.
I'm not 100% sure about ROC being a gatefold, now that I think of it. War Master is alright, and has the insert/lyric sheet.
I just pre-ordered the LP and CD versions of the new Skepticism from Svart. The postage to Oz is surprisingly, scarily cheap. Obviously that's a good thing but I'm wondering will I receive an email demanding more money.
I have to order the RB Slave of Satan and Teutonic Witch vinyls soon too before they disappear. In fairness, Svart have been doing a wonderful job with their reissues of the Reverend Bizarre back catalogue. I'm also really happy with the Stormcrowfleet reissue. It looks and sounds magnificent.
Picked up a couple of Solstice reissues on CD from Cosmic Key earlier: New Dark Age and Halcyon. I hadn't known they'd come out yet.
Two absolute classics!
Indeed. They seem to be doing a run on Solstice's back catalogue, I've picked up their Lamenations reissue as well as the recent To Sol A Thane / Death's Crown Is Victory disc. Some vinyl on their site too.
First day of post-quarantine freedom and I popped in to JB Hifi (like the Aussie HMV). As you can imagine, the metal section is less than inspiring but I did pick up a few reissued gems.
Satyricon- The Shadowthrone CD
Satyricon- Dark Medieval Times CD
Einherjer- Dragons of the North CD

I had bought their discography previously on bandcamp, but I had to go back and get this demented, tortured black metal again on splatter vinyl. Sorgelig are the fecking business :abbath:

I've been following Replicant for a while so nice to see this US dissonant death metal release coming out, and added Diskord for the craic as the sample tracks seem the business from this off the wall Norwegian DM act.
I think I need to add the new Veilburner to the order as well.
6 month wait at least for the physical products though.
Is there a release date for Diskord?

Sweet longsleeve. Thankfully we're a world apart.

In the post
Gravesend - Methods of Human Disposal LP
Spectral Lore - Ετερόφωτος LP
Finally went to a bricks and mortar record shop after well over a year with the young fella strapped to me, picked up the remaster of Faith No More - The Real Thing. One of my all time favourite albums.
I got the four Patton-era remasters myself recently, they sound great.
Blue Öyster Cult - Spectres
Still haven't grabbed Agents of Fortune or Fire of Unknown Origin, or the first two of the black & white trilogy, to complete what I consider the "essential" BÖC collection. But getting there!

Took a punt on the Enslaved Cinematic Tour boxset.
I hope it was sea worthy.

Question mark above the head for a second there.
A punt is a small, flat bottomed boat. It's really quite hilarious.
Yes, I got it. But thanks anyway.
I misread your previous reply as I was half asleep but I always find a thorough explanation of a punchline makes a joke go that bit further. You're welcome.
Well a second thanks is in order as your "flat bottomed" put Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls into my head, which is never a bad thing. And there it is again.

It's good. The songs from the last three albums stand up well with the older material. The two main gripes I have with it are the inclusion of One Second and So Much is lost. They don't sit well in the set list at all, and Nick's vocals are poor on both tracks. I'm not too keen on the bass drum sound either.

I lost touch with Enslaved after Isa. Any of the later stuff worth checking out?
Short answer is all of it. They've slowly moved away from the black metal sound - not totally so, but noticably - and picked up more of the melodic, proggy elements, particularly on the last few. There's an element of saminess to some of them, but they're all good in their own right.
Ruun is pretty much Isa part 2, so you'll know how that sounds. I'd try before I buy after that.
They're a band I'd ignored for a long time myself. I've never been a big black metal fan, it's only the odd band or release that's caught my attention but they were always interesting. I lost touch after Vertebrae, bar a few tracks & CDrs thrown my way, but the recent documentary series peaked my interest again.
I'll check Ruun out first and work my way forward. Cheers.
Axioma... is pretty full on, too.

Preordered the new Maiden and Lingua Ignota albums.
That reminds me to check out the new Lingua Ignota, still haven't heard a note from it.
Today's picks:
Slift - Ummon LP (seriously can't recommend this enough, for anyone into their heavy psychedelic stoner vibes...I know that description can be almost an instant turn-off these days, but these guys really have something)
Van Halen - Van Halen LP
I'll be happy to have the second one in the collection, plus it gets a green pass through the "Do you really need all these records??" gate in the guise of a birthday present for the wee fella, who's obsessed with "Ey! Ey! Ey!" (aka "Ain't Talkin' Bout Love"). He can expect a vinyl or two come every Christmas and birthday for the next 18 years I reckon :laugh: :abbath:
Now, get it into yiz...
https://youtu.be/KJoLGNu5BFY
Have that Lingua Ignota preordered myself. Really looking forward to the whole thing. Got it off Evil Greed, along with a lovely auld Sumac tee.

Ridiculously good album, agree that the description is almost off putting but these lads hit the nail on the head for quality. Just completely lush and well put together. "Altitude Lake" probably my favourite song off it but it's so hard to pick one really. If you haven't seen this yet, you'll enjoy it: https://youtu.be/knzsyZWbN7g
Nice one, will check out now. They actually played here in Bordeaux last Thursday, but it ended up being logistically impossible for me to go. A right pisser! Hopefully won't have to wait too long to catch them again though, since they're from Toulouse.

Ah shit, that would have been excellent no doubt. You'll definitely see them again, they seem to have rapidly picked up in popularity over the last year so there will be shows thrown at them.
That Slift album is on my list too. Great cover art an' all.
I listened to a song and yeah, definitely not bad, but I hungered for something a little heavier after a song and a bit. Would be fun to have in the car perhaps as it's fairly catchy sounding.

Forbidden: Forbidden Evil & Twisted Into Form on CD, both with bonus live tracks. I've never actually owned the former, the latter's an underrated favourite.

Just arrived this morning. I got the "deluxe" edition (don't know what it has extra compared to the normal, since I guess it's only available as a DLP anyway...?), but holy crap does it look amazing! The cover, the inner gatefold, the vinyl sleeves. Really striking stuff. A highly recommended purchase.
Package through the door today containing
Unholy -The Second Ring of Power CD
Venom - Prime Evil silver vinyl
Vomitory - Redemption cassette.
And as a bonus, the L.P. cover for Agent Steel's "Unstoppable Force"
I wonder do High Roller et al send out the actual record of these freebies to people. Is there any one out there with "Unstoppable Force" on vinyl with no sleeve? Or Meliah Rage's "Solitary Solitude"?
Freebies eh. Jeez just send me a keyring and be done with it.

Whitesnake, Dokken, Scorpions and more.
Just couldn't help myself.
Thankfully the missus wasn't with me and the car was only round the corner, so quickly stashed without being noticed ;D
Kalmah-Palo. Was always threatening to explore their discography and £6.20 plus free postage was too good to turn down. Very impressed so far. As typically Finnish as you can get.

Godsend- 'As the Shadows Fall' CD
Godsend- 'In the Electric Mist' CD
On a bit of a Holy Records buzz lately?
Been listening to As the Shadows Fall a bit over the past weeks. Has some good moments on there, though theres one track towards the end that's total early 90's acoustic jingle jangle that really jars with the pretty decent trad doom that surrounds it.
The digital version also as the demo versions of a few tracks which have much more of a blatant forest of equilibrium vibe to them.
Haha yeah, Holy and Witchhunt buzz go tobann! That demo is included on a bonus disc but I haven't had a listen yet, but 'Forest of Equilibrium' worship sounds good to me. I know the song you are tm referring to towards the end of the album. It's like if Silverchair caught BSE by snorting a Days of the New CD :laugh: So bad. I think around half of the album veers heavily into cheapo grunge, but the good parts make up for it.

Christ! Silverchair. Almost forgot they even existed.... I even thought Australia as a country had expunged them from the records.
I'm not to familiar with Into the Electric mist, but As the Shadows Fall definitely has that general Holy Records ropey, not quite sure what it is quality to it. That's part of the charm I suppose. Even has one of those early 90's sky w/tree silhouette covers with default system font logo on it.
I see the two albums have been pressed to Vinyl recently.... Might have to put in an order.
'Into the Electric Mist' sounds fucking awful but I only gave it the most glancing listen after I'd ordered it. Maybe it'll grow on me but they seem to have gone full grunge (bad grunge that is).
I like the ropiness of a lot of that Holy stuff. It sounds like the bands are really trying to do something original and it doesn't always come off perfectly. But yeah, there's charm in it. As I've said here before, there is a blandness or safeness in a lot of modern bands; the pervading sheen of professionalism is a bit boring. Give me a bit of shoddiness!
Managed to find Masters Hammer Ritual on LP :abbath:
Nice. How much? I have the NWN "bootleg" 4 LP with 'Ritual' and 'Jilemnicky Occultista' which works for me and I have the two on CD with the original artwork as well. I'm kicking myself for not picking up the demo CD that was doing the rounds a few years ago, though.
Edit. Grabbed a Master's Hammer demo bootleg CD 8)
Arcane Sun shirt arrived today, pity about the delay with the vinyl. Still, the dozens of high fives and "Wow, beau t-shirt d'Arcane Sun mec!" that I'll get walking around Bordeaux will no doubt make up for it.
I'm looking forward to reprezentin in Oz. "G'day ya flamin drongo. Noice girly shirt, ya galah".

Pre-ordered the repress of Blood Incantation - Hidden History of the Human Race LP. missed this a number of times, will be thrilled to have it on vinyl at last.
Nice one for pointing that out. I had been checking for it numerous times on bandcamp, including the last bc Friday. Seems they released this just afterwards. Gone from my wishlist now eventually, after not buying it originally as hoping to pick it up at the planned Limerick gig! Thanks again.
No problem. Yeah it's been on my list since release, really conspired to miss it every time. Hopefully there is a rescheduled Irish gig with them as headliners, that lineup for Limerick was ideal.
In a similar vein, the Timeghoul represses are still available think, that's another one I was waiting a while for.
The Hidden Histories repress gatefold arrived last week. Probably should be in the pet peeves section, but why the fuck print a gatefold album cover where none of the inserts fit in, and yet the plastic cover is too small to go back on??? Anyone else have this problem with the repress? Two inner sleeves and neither of them will go into the gatefold pockets, feck sake like.
I hate that about gatefold records in general. It's like the card warps and pinches the records, blocking entry. You have to open them flat to get the records in and then half the time they warp in some new way that means you can't close the fucking things again :laugh:
Waiting on a couple of Blood Incantation LPs myself, as well as heap of others from Scobes whenever they land.

Yep, same issue here. I generally prefer gatefolds, as it reminds me of my earliest experiences with my dad's classic rock on vinyl, and the more inserts and trimmings the better, but jesus christ this HHOTHR is mad, big thick booklet that fits absolutely nowhere.

You definitely don't want the entire discography. The quality drops after Memory and Destiny (2002).

Ivory Primarch: As All Life Burns CD pre-order from Cursed Monk. Bandcamp Friday and all that.
I don't think there's been a bandcamp Friday in the last few months. Used to get mails about it. Could be wrong.
Nah, they're back since last month alright. This is handy for checking, what with different timezones and so forth:

I believe it has been very month this year (first Friday). I don'r recall any month not doing it at least. Absolutely bombarded with mails today from bands and labels plugging it, got fair ridiculous while at work today.
There wasn't any for a few months, alright.
Started again last month, as far as I remember.
Ah, I stand corrected. I see now there was none in June and July, started back again in August. November and December to go at least.
Ordered the Decomposed demo compilation back in June. Bought me back to the tapes doing the rounds in school at the time. The booklet didn't have this flyer though - RIP Nancy's, completely flattened this week 😭
I remember that gig well, even waiting in the alley before the doors opened, some craic with the lads at this.
That gig was fucking amazing. When was it..94?95?
Must pick that comp up. And the Maimed reissue actually.
Grabbed the new Full of Hell lp yesterday. Amazing layout.
Hannes Grosmann - Apophenia/Crypts of Sleep/Radial Covenant/To Where the Light Retreats
Been meaning to pick these up for ages, figured with bandcamp Friday I should just go ahead
:abbath:
Did some lad get knocked out by a stage diver at the Nancy's gig or am imaging it?
You can scroll right for the full flyer details - July 1994 and over by 11.30 indeed.
I don't recall the date was anything to do with Benediction visiting (year earlier mr merch man?).
That was likely the gig where an underage Shane O'Donovan of Heresy got a hopper (broke his arm i believe) after stage diving. That's the only injury I was ever aware of at any of those Nancy gigs.
:abbath:

Might be that - I've a very clear memory of some uncious lad being dragged it into the hall while a group of folks tried to figure out wether an ambulance was needed after a stage diving incident, though I though it was some fat fuck flattened him. My memory is obviously not the best haha
Ha, ye could well be right and it's my memory's that shot! If I know anything it's that Shane's the Jimmy Magee of metal memories so I'd go with yere recollections first!
That Benediction gig was the end of March 1994 as I recall. Steo Norton, Paul Kearns and myself were on the same CIE bus. That stop in Urlingford was very odd. Change of driver and all that. The Benediction gig was an early one and sure Steo and myself stayed in your place, Brian. Doomsgame supported. The Benediction lads were great fun, Peter Rew and Frank Healy in particular come to mind. Later in April of same year Afterlife and Thy Sinister Bloom played gigs in Nancy Spains with Ogre, Etheral and a newly formed Cruachan- all those shows were hosted by you Brian. Fair play mate.
Bölzer/TROB ticket for Limerick.
King Diamond - Unholy Rites cassette box set. I tried hard to resist buying this as I don't use cassettes much anymore. Still, it looks awesome.

He kind of got the blame for it being impossible to get into gigs in Nancys after if you were underage.Not sure if it was related or just pure coincidence.
Cheers Grindcory bro🤘🏻Those bus trips were killer back before motorways opened up the country, hard to imagine those tea breaks now :D
Poor Shane took the brunt for everything afterwards, probably blamed for the city flooding as well! I think it was a wake up call after the parents contacted the venue, but I thought they did a good job before that. I remember hiding some buddies in the jacks before the first gig I put on (Fifth Dominion, Cursed Earth, Primordial and Lamentations). Of course they couldn't stay quiet and were too giddy after sharing a bottle of Westcoast Cooler or something and got thrown out early doors! 🤦🏼
Ordered a CD and MCD from Saturnal records in Finland back in April, received an email last night that the order has finally been processed so I suppose its on it way

two thirds of Lamentations were underage at that gig in fact :laugh:
New 1914 on lp..toxik reissue on vinyl..new cradle cd ..accept blood of the nations vinyl reissue, somehow missed that when it came out
Traveller is getting a vinyl repress... finally! I did fork out for an original pressing recently, but I think I'll get one of these too and keep the original safe:

Mortuary - Blackened Images

Hexorcist - Evil Reaping Death
An unholy trinity.
That All Ireland Metal Project charity CD & T-shirt.
New Mastodon album.
Enslaved - Cinematic Tour CD/DVD set
First Fragment - Gloire Eternelle cd and shirt preorder
That Enslaved boxset is brilliant, they put plenty of effort into the livestreams. The DVDs are great with a few beers and the audio blasting through the soundbar.

I'm not a collector or particularly arsed about limited versions but 20 Buck Spin's stuff is gloriously bonkers for it. Love it. Great label in general anyway.
That Unending Dream has me intrigued.
Really liked the first tune,not mad in the new one,but intrigued to hear the whole thing

Sweet. I have my old trusty tape from 92 so a fancy new LP edition will do nicely.
Where did you order it from?
Amazon, only place I saw it. The vinyl's just the album, and the same remaster used for the RSD reissue a few months back (The Gemil Box remaster), so if you picked that up you're getting nothing new. I have that box so I'm buying the CD for disc 2, really. Still have the tape somewhere too.
U.D.O. - Game Over
Running Wild- Blood On Blood
Beast In Black- Dark Connection
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal lp
Marduk - Warschau dlp
Just ordered a copy of this too. Tis savage. Hat-tip to ye olde grabber of snatch for the heads up, should he happen to lurk this way:
https://kayodot.bandcamp.com/album/moss-grew-on-the-swords-and-plowshares-alike
Godflesh: New Flesh In Dub
Digital on Bandcamp.
Unto Others- 'Strength'. I picked this up on CD today and I reckon it'll be a firm favourite in the car over the coming months. Catchy stuff.
I hadn't realised that Idle Hands had changed their name to Unto Others. Cool band.
I finally received my copies of the new Skepticism CD and LP today. Looking forward to getting familiar with them. The artwork is pretty disappointing it has to be said, although looking at the vinyl version I can finally see what they were aiming for with the trees representing a church organ. The result is like a poor rehash of the 'Alloy' artwork, which I love.
I have listened to most of it on YouTube over the past number of weeks and months and the music sounds really good to me so that is the main thing.
I had to pay 7 quid to release my copy from a hostage situation with the Post Office last week.
There's a track on there called 'March of the Four'. I read somewhere that the cover is depicting four tree trunks, representing the band, standing aloof from the rest of the woods, alluding to their growth and development as a band since inception.
Or something.
A half assed concept executed half assedly!
Pre-Ordered Nocturnal Graves - An Outlaw's Stand on SOM so decided to give all the LPs a blast this weekend (Titan, Satan's Cross)
Preview track for the new one is savage.
Pre- ordered the new Kvaen LP the other day..immediate metal boner when bandcamp emailed me

Same arist/photographer on a good few of their releases.
I was wondering what the cover image was, it doesn't seem to relate to anything much.
Aztlan - Mexico Immortal/Legion Mexica
Although the discogs seller said stuff has been taking three or four months for some packets to deliver, so I'm sure I'll forget I've ordered this in a few weeks

And today...
Moonfall- "Wings of Darkness of Adversary" demo.
In the post recently
Evol - The Saga Of The Horned King LP
Evol - Dreamquest 2LP
Evol - Ancient Abbey EP
Evol - Portraits 2LP
Still not sure what to make of Evol in general. Picked them up on the back of the amazing cover Abysmal Grief did of Witchlord on their last album. It's wildly all over the place, going from Italian/Greek sounding black metal, to frequent and lengthy passages of atmospheric dungeon/horror synth type stuff that can sometimes venture off into 90's Roland Soundblaster computer game music that can very into some very silly sounding territory.
Odhinn - The North Brigade CD
Odhinn - From A Splendourus Battle CD
Messy, chaotic late 90s Swedish Black/Viking metal. A weird mixture of relentless blasting and wonky keyboards.
Four months after buying it first, Isa arrived in the post today.
Fuppin hell, where from?
I ordered it on Ebay from the States, it got as far as Dublin before getting sent back (grand, got a refund). Bought again on Discogs from a seller in Taiwan, who informed me that Taiwanese post wouldn't sent to Ireland, but the U.K. was fine for some reason. Got it sent to a mate in London who eventually sent it on to me.
Must be out of print, took a while to track affordable copies down.

Faceless Burial – Grotesque Miscreation LP
Faceless Burial - Multiversal Abattoir EP
Frozen Soul - Encased In Ice EP
Captain Beyond - s/t LP
Crimson Glory - Transcendence LP
Both from Sentinel. He's a pretty nice collection of stuff in there at the minute.
Was gonna pick up that Captain Beyond actually. Unreal album.
Yeah, I've been meaning to pick it up for a few years now. Name drop time: was Mike Scheidt told me I had to check it out.
Ya, I'm the same minus the yobbo. Have records coming from him already so have been trying not to spend more....for months. Also means I missed out on Traveller.
Fond of that Captain Beyond too, good to see it get a bit of love here.
Fired an order in with Zombi Danz for a copy of the new split between Regere Sinister and Moonfall. I also nabbed a copy of the vinyl reissue of Biophobia's 'The Holy Office' that they put out last year. Fingers crossed they won't be too long in getting here.

Edit. I have had the Therapy? tape since Christmas 92 so it's great to have it on vinyl and the interview with Andy Cairns is very insightful. I never knew the voice at the beginning was Nick Cave! My one minor gripe- no lyrics. Alas, it's a beaut.
Little package from Sentinel
Witchfinder General - Death Penalty LP
Manilla Road - Open the Gates LP
Visigoth - Conquerors Oath LP.
Will be using Sentinel on the regular now I'd say. Great selection.
Ooh, I have to complete an order from Sentinel actually!
Over Christmas...
Van Halen - 1984 (gift for the wee lad)
Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the Moon
Deep Purple - Turning To Crime (this was a gift to me, haven't listened to it yet... we'll see!)
Also received the Deep Purple tribute album that Yob's cover of Perfect Strangers appears on, after having to whack an extra tenner of duty on it when it arrived. Haven't had a chance to listen to it either though.
All in all, a very classic rock Christmas!

I was listening to that last night, some of the demos are mighty, nice beefy sound to it. Something I didn't know 'til I read their biography last year, the version of Gone on the album is from that demo session, they couldn't get the feel of it right when they tried to rerecord it.
Candlemass: Live (2CD), Chapter VI (CD/DVD) & Dactylis Glomerata/Abstrakt Algebra II (2CD).
Never paid much attention to the material outside the first four and the Lowe albums, interested in exploring them properly. The two studio albums above landed today so that's my evening sorted.
Nokturnal Graves - Titan LP
Nokturnal Graves - An Outlaw's Stand LP
Sepulcre - Ascent Through Morbid Transcendence LP
Transilvania - Of Sleep and Death LP
Gave that new Nocturnal Graves a whirl last night, ripping stuff, more instant than Titan I'd say.
Sodom M16 Digipak reissue
Samhain - last gasp on earth lp
Samhain - initium lp
Misfits - we were 138
Got some vinyl for xmas.
Carcass - Symphonies Of Sickness
Garbage - Version 2.0
Abba - Voyage

Bloody hell, just a bit!
Assassin-The Upcoming Terror and Interstellar Experience. Not saying either will ever rival Agent Orange, Pleasure to Kill or Eternal Devestation but glad to finally acquire on CD after having had the casssettes for the guts of thirty years. At seven euro each was a no brainer.
The Upcoming Terror is a classic alright. Where'd you get it for that price? I was looking for it a while back and it was a bit pricier than that anywhere I looked.
Friend working in Wiesbaden so he bought in the German Music Franchise Saturn. He knew both were on my wants list. Axe Killer reissues. Nearly sure he said both were in the clearance section. Pleasantly surprised.

Nice one. I had a dig through Discogs there, seems there's a Brazilian reissue with the album remastered, a couple of demos and the first EP tacked on. Not sure I'm willing to fork out €60+ for it though!
That's some price for a reissue. Doesn't happen as often as it used to in the internet age but have come across music stores selling albums for much less than they're worth. Most obvious examples I've come across being the debuts from a Canorous Quintet and In Battle in a bargain bin in HMV Sydney for $2.99 each long after they'd both gone out of print.

Picked up some vinyl in a local record fair and a few from Tower at the weekend.
Cannibal Corpse - Violence Unimagined

I got the corpse for only €18 in Tower. I reckon it was priced wrong, win win for me ha ha

Threw a copy of Sanctuary - Into The Mirror Black onto my Arcane Sun order, hopefully have 'em next week.
I saw, or thought I saw, the Arcturus back catalogue LPs up for sale separately the other day. This evening I went to order Aspera Hiems Symfonia and it's fucking gone. Vanished! I only have the Candlelight reissue on CD with really shit artwork so I was hoping to get that original artwork on the record. Fuck them anyway, all of them, whoever they are.
I jumped on those Arcturus reissues when I was made aware of them. Figured they'd disappear quick like the Box set did. Le Masquerade was already gone by the time I got round to ordering, but managed to source a copy elsewhere thankfully. Im sure there's still copies floating around on distros.
In the post today...
Arcturus - La Masquerade Infernale LP

Nice one! I see WTC have done a vinyl press of Supreme Immortal Art too! Hopefully they'll do a repress of the other LP's. I'll need to make my way though the discography again soon I think, along with some Amestigon and Summoning thrown in for good measure.

Ah shite, my bad - it looks like the Abigor reissues stop at Supreme Immortal Art, so 6 reissues total. I should have actually read the full press release! I thought it was 6 more album reissues after the initial 3. Full list is
Verwustung
Orkblut
Nachthymen
Opus IV
Supreme Immortal Art

The band have no plans for vinyl represses for a long time because of the box set that was released a few years ago. The only reason Supreme was done is because it contains the bonus instrumental version of the album which has not been released on vinyl before.
Borknagar- Borknagar CD reissue.
Brennan's bread ,milk and 20 euro diesel
Eh? What are those things ?
Just fired in an order to Woodcut for the Aspera Hiems Symfonia and La Masquerade Infernale LPs. Postage to Oz is almost as much as the records themselves these days, but sure... I would only end up paying even more down the line when they are completely sold out :-X

I have been on the fence about getting some Vomitor for a while I like them but I have no space anymore for records so I need think about what I buy but at 9 euro and change per LP I decided to finally pull the trigger.
Managed to nab what turns out on delivery to be a near mint first press of Helstar's Burning Star there for cheap, pretty chuffed.
Another order in with Sentinel there as soon as I saw an FB post to say he'd got Foulest Semen in. So, that and JP - Screaming for Vengeance too.
Now, gotta stop buying vinyl for a couple months.

I see Conflict have a couple of similar boxsets for their discography, I think they're self-released/Mortarhate. I must pick them up.
I wish Subhumans would reissue their albums, hard to track down on CD these days, bar the recent ones. A similar boxset would be mighty.

How are you finding deliveries into Oz at the moment? I'm in NZ and it's taking months from europe still so I've given up pretty much. I haven't found any decent distros this part of the world (Aus/NZ).
It's very slow compared to Ireland, yeah. The Arpia and Penance only took a month which was alright but I'm still waiting on the new Corr Mhóna which was sent months ago. It's pot luck at the moment but I just order stuff that I want and expect it'll be six months before l see it :-X

Are ya sure Jacinda Ardern isn't eating them?
She looks like she eats bowls of CDs and vinyls for breakfast.
Requiem- Nunc et Semper LP.
I saw this go up on NWN earlier and the cool artwork caught my eye. After a quick blast of the first song I fired in an order. Musty, raw 80s Italian doom with serious nods to Mercyful Fate in the vocals- in fact, the falsetto parts remind me more of the first Portrait album.
Some purchases over the last month or 2:

Apparently Sacred Reich did a tribute to Johnny McEvoy with such hits as Mursheen Durkin and Carrigfergus?
Old Primordial recordings of Fernando and Waterloo?
Mourning Beloveth doing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road?
Armored Saint partying out with Rock The Boat?
Dread Soverign payimg respects to KC and the Sunshine Band "Give It Up" and Bananarama "na na, hey hey, kiss him goodbye"??

Mention of Dark Romanticism reminds me... Did anyone pick up the Karmageddon CD reissue a few years back, the one with the live DVD? Was it just my copy or was the audio out of sync with the video on the DVD? I brought it back and got a refund, just wondering whether there's a proper version out there.

Might have been a dodgy copy but it pissed me off no end at the time. I know Candlelight put it out in the U.S., I wonder if that version had any issues.

Metallica- ...And Justice for All CD.
When I was a young lad I sold off my Metallica and Iron Maiden tapes when they became a bit passé in my view. I've picked up the Maiden stuff again over the past twenty years but I've been slow in replacing Metallica but it's high time I grabbed all the early stuff again.
Witchcraft- Black Metal.
I have lost touch with Witchcraft over the years so it's time to check back in and see what they are up to.

Throw it in the fire. Mustaine managed to completely destroy the entire atmosphere of Megadeths classics with those fuckin awful remastered and remixed editions.
True, the So Far, So Good,So What, one that I picked up had me grimacing throughout and dusting off the old cassette again.
I bought the Peace Sells, SFSGSW & Rust In Peace ones on the same day when they came out, expecting great things. Fucking raging 2 houra later, I haven't played them since.
There's a newer version of Peace Sells, I believe. A proper remaster of the original version, I must pick it up.

My new Molder CD is being held for ransom somewhere in the country by An Post. It appears they/Customs want me to pay VAT twice. 🤔

Customs are holding something up for me as well, its not a cd though, shower of thieving cunts, they can send it back to the seller if they want and whistle for their charges..
I didn't have to waste time checking with the sorting office afterall as the CD actually popped in the door today. They must have put on their glasses and seen the c2 declaration and ioss details confirming VAT paid at point of sale eventually...
To be fair the ioss sticker blended in with all the others labels on the package, and it was orientated differently, so maybe it was just an oversight.
Managed to pick-up the following, new from Amazon, for £5 each:
Sepultura - Schizophrenia
Sepultura - Beneath the Remains
Sepultura - Chaos A.D
Sepultura - Roots
I already have Arise on vinyl and was looking to purchase some of their other classics, but why pay £25 for one, when I can get all of them for £20?
I'm particularly loving Beneath the Remains. When I got into Sepultura in the mid-2000s, for some reason I thought Arise was their first album, so neglected anything before that. After discovering the albums, their lower quality production put me off, so this month has been the first time I truly got into it.
Beneath the Remains is the perfect Sepultura, though it could do with the kind of production quality Arise has.
Oh man, Beneath the Remains and Arise are amazing albums, I honestly wouldn't change a thing. Beforehand was too raw, and after was too pop. They are amazing albums all told, just perfection to me.
These, along with Morbid Angel "Altars of Madness", and Obituary "Cause of Death", are albums that I just had to have on vinyl, tape and CD a long time ago, despite little money in my life. Perfection, sin é!
I bought an original CD copy of Penance 'The Road Less Travelled' and it arrived today. I got it for a mere $10 plus postage and it goes for around €60 on discogs. 8)
Edit. It sounds mega through the stereo.
Oranssi Pazuzu - Värähtelijä (Svart have just repressed this and the two earlier albums on vinyl, if anyone's looking)
Kairon; IRSE! - Polysomn
Senzar: Senzar & Pyre Of Throes on CD.
Father's Day closing in over here so a couple of CDs ordered in my honour 8)
Forgotten Woods- As the Wolves Gather
Forgotten Woods- The Curse of Mankind
Race of Cain was sold out so I'll grab that another time. Been on a buzz for these lads lately since the dude died (I would never lower myself to listen to an alive artist- no way) and those two are the ones I've focused on. Race of Cain sounded a bit different to the two earlier ones and the EP which is included in the Wolves CD, but I'll have to give it a bit more attention.

Just received a mail from Hammerheart announcing you can now buy 10 random (as in, you don't get to choose) CD albums for just €10. Talk about a last ditch effort to clear stock before binning it!

I was going to but it was €28 with shipping, I'd rather get a few cds I want for that
Yeah, I hear you, I've enough stuff I never need to hear again without adding more. Sorry HH, no deal ( but I will be nabbing those Venom assault series vinyls next week)

In the post today: Jeff Buckley - Live In Chicago DVD / Mystery White Boy CD.
I bought this months ago through Amazon but there was no sign of it to arrive, even after contacting the seller and being reassured that it was "reordered and would be sent out within 48 hours". No sign. I Googled and, lo and behold, the vendor (Dodax) has gone bankrupt - again. Plenty of other people in the same boat.
Fuck it, I finally got a refund and a replacement.
Also got the 2 Senzar CDs in the post during the week. Mighty band.

Picked it up at junk shop, 10 CDs for $10. It's the version that the booklet folds out to a poster of Gigers art.
Sigh - Hangman's Hymn
Sigh - Imaginary Soniscape
Biohazard - Urban Discipline 30th anniversary.
The Sigh ones are fancy DLP editions. I already had copies of these but couldn't resist when I saw them on Sentinel.
I only noticed today that Sigh have a new one out
It's class too. I'm a complete fanboy though so probably better to check it out yourself.
Same as, have all their stuff, just wasn't aware there was a new one out

Nice to have these in the collection as I've been listening to them a lot on YouTube recently. My only gripe is that the inlays are slightly too big to fit the digipacks making them difficult to pull out. I can see them getting fucked over time.
Today in JB Hifi I stumbled on
Maudlin of the Well- Part the Second.
I have been familiar with this band's name but I'm fairly sure I've never heard a note of music so it was a blind buy. Interesting stuff. I hear all things from The Unthanks, Redneck Manifesto, Cave-In, Corsaire...

I don't know MotW at all but have serious love for a lot of (Driver's other band) Kayo Dot's albums. Also all over the shop musically but I'd tell anyone into off kilter metal (or odd music at all) to give the album "Hubardo" a go, if you never have.

Selvhat - Avskjed
Selvhat - Gjennom mørket famlende
Delighted to see some of his stuff get a reissue. Heard Den Svart Tid a few years back and been dying to get some Selvhat on wax since.
Picked up the half speed master of Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk from sentinel recently.
Sounds good, but to my ears no better or worse than the rest of my Emperors, which are all back on black represses. Disappointingly, and unlike those earlier and cheaper represses, the artwork is a bit blurry/pixellated by comparison, and the sleeve is not gatefold. A minor enough complaint as the music sounds great but if I was hoping this would be the definitive edition of a definitive album... it isn't.
Also picked up Bathory - ...The Return.
An album I'm very unfamiliar with, so it's getting pretty much its inaugural listens this weekend.
The Return is incredible.
Everyone always picks the first one as the best. Any of the first three are a valid choice. Prefer Under The Sign, The Return is sheer brilliance too though.
Hammerheart for me 8)
If pushed, Blood Fire Death. Goat, Under the Sign and Hammerheart after.
Hammerheart was the first one I got into but have found it more or less unlistenable for the last 15 odd years. Will go back to it now. First 4 with The Return prob being the pick of the bunch.
Found The Wall in the charity shop in perfect nick (mason) for 2 euro. Grand job. Wouldn't be my favourite of theirs but for that price tis grand

Not a fan of the first three at all, Hammerheart is probably the best for me. I'm probably the only person who rates Requiem, it's a personal favourite.
Requiem and Octagon are the two that I didn't even bother getting.

It is a DVD of a live show from 99.
There's a bonus CD as well, it's a rehearsal for So Long Suckers.
Is that what it is? It's very raw, sounds like very early versions of the songs and it only sounds like there is bass and drums. A mere curio really.

Yep, I asked on Facebook when I got mine, I can't remember who answered but it's that alright. Grand for nowt, a bonus for diehard fans really.

Great to have Sentinel open to go flicking.
Does your Captain Beyond have the same annoying ultra rigid yellow pack quality cardboard sleeve? Think I'd listen to it even more if it weren't for that, quality record.
Yep. It was the first one I went to put on and unfortunately the run in is fucked due to a warped edge and there's stitching on Side A. Gonna swap it for something else. I would've happily taken a replacement and got a sleeve for it.
My mistake, there is an insleeve. I'd just leave it out of the cover in the dust cover.

https://youtu.be/nE5JrzTrRwA
Good album alright, where did you nab it, was it reissued?
Picked up a good few great LPs recently.
Blood Incantation's Hidden History of the Human Race was one and it really is amazing. Easy modern classic.
Also nice was the fact it was standard price but included a CD in with it. More of this, please. Even download codes seem to be rare where they were standard issue like 7 years ago. Digital collection seems to be looked down on but it's still my primary method and it's fucking annoying that it's just not considered any more.
I just put in an order for the Rotting Christ reissue of A Dead Poem. $72 with postage to Australia... bless us and save us tonight. I find myself on a huge Greek BM buzz of late so I want to catch up on all those early albums, but Jesus, it's going to hurt the wallet a bit :laugh:
I also intend on grabbing the early Metallica stuff on vinyl over the next few months, and the prices on those are staggering. JB Hifi are charging over $60 per album...
At that price surely you'd be better off searching for second hand copies in good condition?
Prices are bananas overall in fairness. Hope that bubble pops soon.
Australia is a pure cunt for prices.
Jaysus lads I picked up the best of rem for a euro there the other week. Does that count or are we only doing stuff we paid a fortune for and no-one else has it?
Depends on which best of you bought, I suppose. Unless it has songs that nobody has heard since 1982 it's probably not KVLT enough.
Soundgarden: Screaming Life/Fopp, Louder Than Love, Ultramega OK - all remasters/reissues
Mother Love Bone: Mother Love Bone
All CD. I love some of those early pre 'grunge' sounds.

Fuckin love cheap CD finds!
I'm constantly hunting in the charity shops for CDs. Just never know what you'd find in them and the cheapness makes me try things I mightn't bother with otherwise. I did throw a Chemical Bros album out the window of the car before I got home not so long ago. It was awful!

But I agree. Download codes with LPs bought elsewhere should be a standard.
I've lost count how many LPs I've ordered that arrive with the shrink wrap opened and can't help but think some cunt at the label/distro has nabbed the code for themselves or a buddy.

But I agree. Download codes with LPs bought elsewhere should be a standard.
At one point around 2016, nearly everything I bought had a bandcamp code in it, printed, or otherwise you got the digital copy for buying it there. I had picked up records for years before that physically that had either none, or some download site you had to register separately for, so I used to just download it elsewhere rather than bother signing up to another service.
I have bought records a few times more recently though on Bandcamp where the download was excluded on purpose - no digital copy added to the library, and no code included in the record when it arrives. I questioned it nicely with one label and was told the digital is a separate product and can be bought separately. Bit of a bum response. Hopefully that doesn't become more normal.

Records are taken out of shrink wrap most of the time so the record can shipped outside of the jacket. If it is left inside the jacket then 99% of the time it will cause seam splits thanks to the great guys that deliver mail all over the world who take such good care of our packages.

Still though!

I picked up Master of Puppets on vinyl today. It's high time I collected those early Metallica records again. I had them all on tape thirty years ago and ended up selling them off as I was getting into more modern, "cool" stuff in my teens. I have been picking them up on CD for the car too but it would be nice to have all the albums, up to The Black Album, on vinyl for home listening.
It somehow feels like a momentous occasion!
Funny, I've been on a similar Metallica retro fan splurge, picking up the t-shirts of the first four albums which I would have worn back in the day, in fairness the recent t-shirts have some great backprint tour dates from the time. Puppets and Lightning left to get. There comes a point when one says ah fuck the whole "can't be arsed explaining that I'm not into what they're doing now" thing, those first four were cornerstones of it all , and wearing those designs again bring me right back to the day. Still, proudly, haven't heard Load/Reload. Or THAT Morbid Angel one either.
Anywhere between 40-50 e to pick up a first four Metallica album in the local Golden Discs, I threw my head back and laughed and walked out.
I got the reissue of Type O's Dead Again on vinyl today. (No download code btw!)
Great final album in my view. Sounds great and it comes with a third disc with live recordings of the big hits, which is decent enough.
Apart from the one DVD they released, I haven't come across much live Type O stuff.

Ensiferium - 10th Anniversary DVD
Ordered the Enslaved-Eld DLP this evening.
There's a cassette boxset of the early Ulver stuff coming out in a couple of months. The price is steep but the die-hard edition looks very tantalising. With my birthday coming over the horizon in the not too distant future I might have to put in a sneaky order, but don't tell anyone... shhhh! 8)

They've been announced for Beyond the Gates fest doing Eld in full, seriously tempting
I'd say you'll love Eld, Andy.
Celtic frost box set on vinyl from santy .
Lovely. Shoulda written him a letter meself! Will I never learn!?
Molarbear: You Will Need Gods arrived just before christmas, and I was given Bob Mould: Blue Hearts by my sister yesterday, looking forward to giving those a spin.
Also picked up The Cure's Cureation 4CD/2BR boxset for stupid money in a porter-fueled moment of madness the other night.
Eld DLP arrived today. I only had the chance to play the first half of it but it certainly sounds interesting so far. Quite a different buzz to Vikingligr Veldi and Frost, both of which you could kind of lump together stylistically. I expected this to be more in line with those two but it's off on another tangent. The harsh parts are quite a bit more raw in terms of production and they contrast the cleaner epic bits nicely.
Edit. I like how they tweaked the early logo for each album. I hate the new one they use and think they are mad to drop such an instantly recognisable logo for something that looks like an advertisement for a weekend retreat. But sure...
I like Eld myself, need to pick up that DLP too.
Stangarigel - Na Severe Srdca LP
Vital Spirit - Still as the Night, Cold as the Wind LP
Both among my favourite albums of the year so thrilled to get the LPs, especially the Stangarigel.
I'll have to pick up Hordanes Land and Yggdrassil at some point and then I've all I really need from Enslaved. The old shit really is great.
You'll be delighted to hear that they've just reissued/remastered Yggdrassil.
Just after I bought the previous reissue, of course.
Quote from: Carnage on December 29, 2022, 02:06:06 AMYou'll be delighted to hear that they've just reissued/remastered Yggdrassil.

Happy days. It's a fucking ferocious sounding demo.
I've got the yggdrassil on cd, peaceville release around 2012 so never picked up on vinyl... Will have to get this new remaster on vinyl! I just shot in an order for the new mispryming, dodsengels bab al on, deathspells the long defeat and finally picking up reveals last one. Treating myself at xmas
Judas Priest- Defenders of the Faith CD. Grabbed it for $1 in an opshop 8)
Been saving a lot this year and not spending, but got to do a wee splurge with Christmas gifts and vouchers. Picked up some of my favourite 2022 releases, all LP
Stangarigel - Na Severe Srdca
Vital Spirit - Still as the Night, Cold as the Wind
Coscradh - Nahanagan Stadial
Negative Plane - The Pact
Grave Infestation - Persecution of the Living
All stellar. Stangarigel is a pre order for sometime in February or March I believe.
Nice little vinyl haul today:
Second-hand finds:
Tangerine Dream - Rubycon
Jethro Tull - Thick As A Brick
Def Leppard - Hysteria
and picked up, new, the latest remaster of my favourite Floyd album, Animals.
Picked up the Planxty retrospective 'Between the jigs and reels', DVD for a buck in a charity shop. CD was missing but I'm happy to have it for the DVD alone as it's great
I hadn't heard of that, sounds good, I must look out for it. I have the Live 2004 DVD, 'tis mighty. The No Disco special Leagues O'Toole did years back was great - as was his book on them.
Did the albums ever get the rerelease that was mooted a few years back? The Shanachie CDs are shite.

I haven't the reunion DVD, must add it to the wantlist on Ebay or Discogs.
I've only the CDs by shanachie. is it the case the remastered versions are worse that the original LPs
The CDs are quick, cheap transfers as far as I know. No remastering, just ran off tapes, I think. They came out about 30 years ago, I know Moore was fairly pissed off with Phil Coulter for selling the rights.
I have the first 3 albums on vinyl, inherited from the old man. Nice to have.
Had a rummage around the vinyl at Fnac for bargains in the January sales:
Candlemass - Dactylis Glomerata... reduced to clear at the record store, so a pinch at €10
Fleetwood Mac - Rumours
Then, since it was slim pickings in cheap metal and rock:
Art Blakey - Moanin'
Bill Evans Trio - Portrait in Jazz
2 great jazz albums.
Speaking of Fleetwood Mac I picked up a copy of their 3 disc 50 year thing for 50c last weekend. Bargain, although a slightly pointless bargain as I have most of the tunes I like anyway between owning Rumours, Tusk and Tango in the Night. Disc 1 is made of the pre Buckingham and Nicks era which I was unfamiliar with.
Also scored 24 Hour Party People soundtrack for 50c. It's actually a grand collection of stuff for a car journey. Few Joy Division tunes with some other British pop rock things.
Manic Street Preachers first album which I didn't listen to yet. Spent the full euro on that one! Anyone know it?
Yup, I know it. Sounds like a Welsh G'n'R.
Is that a good or bad thing I wonder .. I may go find out
A couple of decent songs aside, it's shite. Put me off them for years. Gold Against The Soul now, that's a different story.
Yeah, mostly shite, but the Gold Against The Soul and The Holy Bible are classics.
The Holy Bible is a good album indeed but that's all I liked of them from anything I've heard. Was chancing this because it's older than THB

I've always been a bit schizo about that LP. If I'm in the mood, it's manna but there are other times when the emerging Cavanagh vocals make it sound like a stepping stone between Serenades and Eternity. Still, it's a nice one to have.

That bothy band one is a cracker. Love the Mike Oldfield-esque weirdness in 'Fionnughla'. They're one of those bands, like Stocktons Wing, that are way underrated. I'm convinced some of it is because lads auld fellas had it on in the car when they were young and they've become traumatised. Certainly the case with when it comes to Stocktons, the old boy with fag in gob, hand out the window tapping the rhythm on the roof of the car :)

Anathema passed me by for many a year because of the vocals. I thought they were grand but a bit polite. I always loved MDB and PL so a few years ago I picked up the Serenades LP and it's great. The early, pre- alt rock stuff works for me now. Funny enough, I don't think I would have liked the old dude's growls back in the day as they aren't that extreme sounding, but that's exactly what works about them these days. Kind of half growled, half sung, not a million miles from Lee Dorrian circa Forest of Equilibrium. I'll gradually gather up all the early Anathema stuff, and who knows, maybe the later gay stuff will grow on me with time.
I also thought The Blood Divine were atrocious in the 90s, hearing them on Metal Hammer CDs. Now they are high on my list of CDs to pick up. Sherlukkit!
Alternative 4 is a great album, Judgement is unbelievable. The last few though, and it's the logical conclusion of their trajectory, are too much for me. 'Nice', but the arse has fallen out of them. Not for me, Jeff.
Same buzz for me with Katatonia. Could never warm to their gay stuff. It was a bit too samey and bland, despite being pleasant enough, and it put me off checking out the early stuff. A few years ago I grabbed Dance of December Souls and it's great for when you're in the mood for that early 90s doom death sound. It seems to be a lost art, trying to capture doom death that's atmospheric and catchy as opposed to SUFFOCATING CRUSHING! Pity.
Edit: Dance Off: December Souls. That presents a host of new opportunities.
Yeah, I'm at that stage of my life that I've enough things crushing my chest cavity without the choons adding to it:)
I enjoy pretty much all of Anathema's stuff.
The only one I struggle with is 'Eternity'. It just sticks out like a sore thumb.
The early stuff stands well and truly on it's own, though.
While 'TSE' to 'Judgement' are the real stepping stones to their later sound.
The later stuff is very samey alright, but as full albums they generally just work. They do for me, at least.
Katatonia... after the early Doom/Death stuff I really lost interest. I tried to like them for a while, but just couldn't stay on board with them past 'The Great Cold Distance'.
Pavlovs Dog - Pampered Menial
Damned Nation - Road of Desire
Pantera - Far Beyond Driven

Tony O'Hora – Escape Into The Sun
Both on CD
Sausage – Riddles Are Abound Tonight also on CD...Les Claypool earlier band, mighty cover art
Bast: Nanoångström CD
Enslaved- Utgard CD.
The darker BM/viking elements are great. The prog bits are alright. The emo parts are tough going... I'll stick with it and see if it gels after a few spins.
They need to bring back their original logo, or some variation on it. The new one is awful.
I'm teetering on the verge of letting Enslaved go these days . I had Utgard on recently too and they seem to be trying to cover too many bases now, almost like they want to go full on into Rush territory and unshackle themselves completely ala Opeth. The old logo, which is emblazoned across my chest today on a sweatshirt is a relic now, like the much missed old Katatonia one. Seems to be a trajectory with these bands doesn't there? Anathema are there too. I listened to the new Enslaved track off the upcoming album the other day and ,like I say, teetering...
I actually thought the new single sounded good. Very heavy and dark. I think that's why I ended up chancing Utgard, but yeah... patchy stuff. And those emo parts are a step too far for me.
I think Ruun was far enough for me. Called it a day with them after that. Don't resent them taking a new direction just not interested in it.
Anyone got one of these unofficial pressings of Storm of the Light's Bane? If so, how do they sound??
Haven't got it yet but I'm gonna grab one tomorrow.
Just hesitating a bit since €40 plus p&p seems steep for a bootleg.
Speaking of bootlegs, I just grabbed the Dark Medieval Times bootleg LP and the price avec postage to Oz would give you the willies. Still. No regrets 8)
Found it for €29 somewhere in the end, so went for it. Also, since that set the tone for rectifying glaring gaps in my vinyl collection, also picked up:
Burzum - Filosofem
Trouble - The Skull
That was all through I_Hate's discogs market. Perfect score in the feedback plus decent prices both on stock and p&p :abbath:
The Skull is amazing. I hadn't heard Trouble until I saw The Skull band live. Instant convert and I know own and love all their stuff.

Oddly, I had that on today as well after seeing it elsewhere.

Noseda did one for the BBC a few years ago. It's got a couple of fairly audacious (and for some "controversial") choices, but I love it, think it gets the balance just right between respect and daring.
I only have that one in digital format though, unfortunately. But Karajan and the Berlin Orchestra are of course always unfailingly well executed, so still a great one to get. And for only €3. Classical music is where it's at for bargain great quality vinyl! :abbath:

I always thought the same. He uses the growls loads more in live clips but that's the only time on Singles. Incredible album.
Threw that on the other day for a bit of a listen. Didn't instantly grab me or anything, but I did spot a certain theatrical epic metal sensibility to a lot of the vocal approach. Don't think I got as far from Fall From Grace though, next time.
Is this your pop record for the decade then? After Gotye in the last one? :laugh:
All NFR releases acquired from a friend in Melbourne who just landed home after a year down under. Ideal mixture of death, power and black. Had been searching for quite some time so very happy to tick off the wants list.
Hypocrite-Into the Halls of the Blind.
Insania-Sunrise in Riverland.

I would put The Far Field ahead of Singles at the moment but I've listened to that a thousand times and I'm only getting into Singles. But yeah, Future Islands are my pop allowance of the decade 8)

Ya, didn't grab me beyond Seasons for the first few listens but at some point then I got obsessed.
I found that with The Far Field too. Initially I only really liked 3 or 4 songs but that was enough to keep it on repeat and the others slowly began to get in under the skin. Well, not that slowly but I had it on repeat for a few weeks. I'm sure Seasons will be the same.
Speaking of pop albums, was pissed last night and I bought:
Lady Gaga: Joanne, Chromatica & Dawn Of Chromatica.
Fuck off.

By the crotch of Christ lad, how fucking much had ya drank?
Around 8 pints and a bottle of wine!
I'm a fan, what can I say? A mate's sister worked on her latest album, she's a well-thought-of composer (Amie Doherty) so there's that extra interest but yeah, I've been a fan for years.

Sure horses for courses man, who am I to judge.
I've heard of Amie Doherty, fair play to her, she's in the big leagues there.
That Gaga wan gives me the creeps though, and I'm a Mayhem fan.
Got the Horslips box here I'm Australia, mail-order from Germany. The Germans must have wrapped it in next to nothing as it arrived having been repackaged by Australia Post in brown paper (no cardboard box) and two plastic sheets. Two Australia Post stickers, one saying 'Item arrived water damaged' and sure enough when I got it opened the box has damage to the outside print and a few bumped corners. Luckily didn't go through to the contents.

I bought it on cassette when it first came out on the strength of No More Tears the single and was a bit underwhelmed with the album. But over the 30+ years it's really grown on me, thus the purchase. Potential thread..slow burner albums?

I'd never come across it before, you're right it's a great show. I have a few VHSs around the house but no player since the last one died about 20 years ago
I have a machine alright but haven't used it in about 15 years, lost the bag with all my cables, leads, controllers etc. last time I moved house. I must get that BR, it's a good show to have. Hughes was on ALL the coke from the sound of him.

I'm the opposite, I prefer them from The Fourth Dimension on, but the first two are grand. Been debating whether to go for these reissues but I want the T-shirts too and that'd make it a very spicy meatball indeed.

Some people have been complaining that NB made a mess of the covers. I don't have any originals so I can't compare.
I'd be getting the CDs if I do, so probably not an issue. A lot of vinyl reissues seem to use scans of older versions so resolution might be more of a problem on the large covers.

I've listened to some of it online and yeah, sounds great. One song is pure Killing Joke with those tribal beats. Looking forward to getting stuck into it. I would love to see a reissue of their earlier recordings at some stage. Vinyl would be welcome too but maybe after the price of records starts to drop again :o

The Skull, Trouble, Manic Frustration, Plastic Green Head, Simple Mind Condition/Live In Stockholm, The Distortion Field, One For The Road/Unplugged.
Most were €4.99, not a bad haul.

Cheers for the tip! Just picked up a few Trouble cd's as well! Fooking deadly!
Aye, 7 titles (2 of them doubles) for €35 odd. Postage was about what you's expect at €15 but for 7 CDs from Germany (I think that's where they're based), not bad at all.

It still beats Amazon where I was just looking at them all a few days ago before picking up Plastic Green Head, still no complaints!! Cheers!!
👍
Yeah, there's 3 others I want and they'll cost around the same from Amazon as those 7 I picked up there. Now, vinyl postage costs would negate a lot of the reductions but even so, deals.

Mystifier- Wicca CD.
Mystifier- Göetia CD.
I have the NWN vinyl boxset but it's about time I picked these savage albums up on CD all I can blast them in the car.
Both amazing but I'll admit I only really got into Wicca in the last year or two. Just always went with Goetia. Like everything else on here, we may have discussed this before.
There's not much between them stylistically. Göetia has a marginally better production perhaps but the feeling is perfect on both. You can't go far wrong with either, though. I never listened to that one they put out a few years ago but I fear the magic of the early days has long evaporated.
Edit. Listening to the recent split with Lucifer's Child. The Mystifier stuff sounds good. Maybe not as atmospheric as the old stuff but still good. Maybe I'll have to give that newer album a listen after all.
I think Wicca has a more basic and primal buzz going on but ya, not much between them. That the one with the stupid name? No interest in following up on them.
Yeah, it has a long Latin name. I will give it a spin one of these days out of curiosity.

OK!
So I got contacted by An Post that I owe customs on a package.
A whopping €2.67... plus the poxy €3.50 admin fee. So €6.17 total.
But the package arrived this morning without the customs being paid!
Am I still obliged to pay it?
Or should a let them go fuck themselves?
Send a photo of your cock busting through their letter.
To them, not to me! :o
Into the fire with it. The letter, not the parcel. Or your cock, unless that's your thing.
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
It's not like they can return it sender as their customs card threatens.
It happens once in a while, I'd ignore it now. Same happened to me before too. They won't hound you for a pittance.
I once got 3 letters for the same CD. Paid the first one, got the CD then another couple came - for different amounts. Straight into the fire.

No do not pay them they can't do anything now that you have the item. My postman told me last year that if you get a letter after the item has already arrived do not pay it.

Not really. Galway is kinda shite for that stuff but do take a trip down to Bell Book and candle. That place has loads of second hand cds and vinyl and books and comics. It's a cool little shop and the owner is dead on.
You never know what you might find in there.
It's a while since I was in there but they had a lot of thrash stuff on vinyl, if thst's your thing.
Cool..sound job
In to a out of the way charity shop near work on the way home today and got a pile of Latin American LPs, Argentinean, Flamenco, Spanish classical and a good few Chilean LPs from the early 60s all in middling to good condition. No surprise they were in amongst a box with the usual German Polka, Greek and Christmas compilations.
What did surprise me was spotting the logo for Italian doom band Black Oath on 1 of the only 2 cassettes thrown in the bottom of the box, the other cassette has nordic runes so no idea what it is.
Voivod - Lost Machine
Sons of Apollo - MMXX

Opeth- Orchid DLP reissue.
I saw this and My Arms, Your Hearse in the local JB Hifi going for $94 (60 odd Euro) each. I thought, fuck that! What an insane price for a bloody record. Then today I saw Orchid on a separate shelf with the price of $54 (€30-ish) - is it on special offer or something?? I decided fuck it, I'll bite for that price. Brought it up to the counter and was quoted $94 for it. I brought the sales assistant to the shelf with the other price on it and she honored the mistake. Turns out whoever wrote out the price tag fucked up! The record came with a nice gold colored OBI strip which was too tight to remove and I ended up destroying it while opening the fucking thing :laugh: I might get on to Candlelight about a replacement. For that bloody price it's only fair. Anyway, it's on here now and sounds great.
The Chasm - The Scars of a Lost Reflective Shadow
Excarnated Entity - Stillborn In Ash

Postman just dropped off something that has been on my want list for a while. Altars of Madness LP with Lord of all Fevers and Plagues. Happy to finally have this as all future pressings of the album on vinyl will not include Fevers and Plagues.
Why is that?
The OG Earache vinyl didn't have it either, though the tape and cd did as a "bonus track" (remember those?). I had a Brazilian pressing of it at some stage that had "Lord" on it which I gave to Darragh.
They won't include it anymore because it wasn't recorded in the same session that the album was recorded in. the 2011 reissue is the last to feature it and as far as I know the only other version that had it was the original Brazilian pressing.
Ah cool, didn't know that. I've only ever had it on CD. It would ruin the flow I know if it wasn't there.
Yeah, for years I was wondering what album that track was on. I have one of the original Earache pressings.
From Sentinel today:
Reverend Bizarre - Slice of Doom boxset
Solitude Aeturnus - Beyond The Crimson Horizon
Thorr's Hammer - Dommedagsnatt

I wouldn't mind, only Havukruunu have been Naturmacht's license to print money for over 5 years at this stage. There's been huge demand for their releases all along. I can't think of any excuse for not doing a much bigger run of pressings each time.

Bought the last two while I was in Oslo at the weekend with my daughter..sure you can't come back without something black metal related :laugh:
Motörhead- Ace of Spades CD. My first Motörhead purchase. A momentous occasion or another fart in a hurricane? Let's see. I never heard them before. Never even heard OF them before. Who??
Madness!!! :o
Motorhead are great.
I'm of course being ridiculous. I have heard them many times and even seen them live :laugh: just never picked up anything by them.
Obviously!
Madness that you've never owned anything by them before.
They were a rite of passage back in the day, like.
I own surprisingly little by them too. Iron Fist is the only LP I have. Keep meaning to get to that.
Not a band me or my mates got into back then. Probably too old fart for us :laugh:
And look at me now. Older and fartier.
Just had the DeathCollector LP and new Beloal's Throne CD land in front of me. :abbath: :abbath: :abbath:
Overkill is the only Motorhead album I own, not much point getting any more if you have one, really.
Only ever had a greatest hits on CD myself. Maybe the only metal band I ever owned a greatest hits by? A band that, despite some good to great tunes plus Lemmy's towering charisma and archetypal embodiment of hard rock, never once gave me a thirst to explore from an album perspective. Dunno, it's almost like they had zero mystique or something.
I went through their discography in order around the time of Bad Magic, and it convinced me that one album/greatest hits is all that you need from them. Very repetitive band from start to finish. See also: AC/DC - which is why (I'm assuming) they've never released one.
You're not wrong!
Definitley one of those bands the a Best Of... is pretty much all you'd need.
But I love 'em and pretty much have all the albums on some format.
The later albums are very interchangeable, but no matter what album of theirs I put on it always puts a smile across my face.
Bomber is the only thing I have from them, it's grand but never made me want to explore any further
Self titled, Ace of Spades, Overkill, Iron Fist, Bomber and Another Perfect Day are all savage.
Have to admit I don't own a single Motorhead or AC/DC album. I would have pumped hundreds of euro into the jukebox in the local rock bar playing their tunes years ago but I've never felt the need to buy an actual album because I just wouldn't listen to it (outside of a session type situation I suppose).
Inferno was the highlight of their fairly respectable latter output as well.
Solitude Aeturnus - Into The Depths of Sorrow. New reissue by Music On Vinyl. Looks and sounds great.
Will have to pick that up, I got Beyond the Crimson Horizon a few months back.
Got that as well a few weeks ago.
Didn't know about this and found it while flicking in Spindizzy. Only out since Friday and wasn't even on discogs yesterday. There today.
I must revisit those early SA albums. I had Beyond the Crimson Horizon years ago and found Rob Lowe's vocals annoying as hell. He repeats the same four or five vocal melodies in every song. It grated on me massively and I gave the CD away. Maybe it's time I tried again. Although I (recently-ish) stuck on a later album of theirs that I still have, Alone, and didn't get through the first song before turning it off so... :laugh:
Payday today so I'm going to grab CDs of Sentenced- North From Here and Kat- 666 8)
Kat- 666 LP (NWN reissue).
DHG - Black Medium Current
Dissection - The Somberlain (sweet new reissue with the original artwork and not a pop up)
Fired in an order for the Sigh- Imaginary Sonicscapes DLP and green tie-die (kvlt eternal) t-shirt and Shiki CD 8)
Have a look at the Nesimedia versions of some of the other Sigh albums. They cost a packet to ship from China, but you'll thank me later.
I picked up the Crypt versions of Infidel Art and Ghastly Funeral Theatre (or is it Ghastly Theatre Funeral?) many years ago, so they'll do me. They are beautiful editions.
Yeah, I have those and the Scorn Defeat box they did. Nesimedia have Imaginary Soniscape, Gallows Gallery, Scenario IV and Hangman's Hymn.
Caught up on a few Invictus releases today. Trying not to buy shit to save for a mortgage is head melting.
I heard Hangman's Hymns back when it came out and thought it was ok at the time but haven't heard it in a long time. The other three (not counting IS) are unknown to me. I'll have to give them a listen and see what's worth picking up.
Edit. Ghastly on now.

Ooh, must see if I can find one of them myself :abbath:
Wrong thread
Obtest - Tukstantmetis
Scald - album, Wrath Emitter Digipak
Kaosritual LP and Demo arrived this morning. The full length is another one I have wanted for years and for me one of the best albums ever recorded. This new pressing sounds great. It is just a shame they went with shitty Pic Discs for the box set.
Gonna pick those up. Boxset does nothing for me.
Nifelheim - 1st 2 albums on CD, reissue versions in a slipcase
Corrosion of conformity- wise blood on CD
The exploited - punks not dead , 1989 CD on Link Records
Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky & Rimsky Korsakov - Song of Oleg the Wise - LP from 1967
I bought a copy of Kat '666' on vinyl the other day but got the money refunded as it was out of stock. I took it as a sign to bite the bullet and go to NWN and buy the sexy looking die hard edition. I was all set on it, and made it to the final step of the ordering process when I saw the final price with postage to Australia. One of my eyeballs popped out of my skull, at least one inch of my receding hairline sprouted back, and my left leg turned into a string of sausages. $235 for a record is a bit fucking steep by any man's standards! I reversed the fuck out of there, bought the regular edition and two Sabbat CDs and it only came to $110. I need a lie down :-X
Kat- 666 LP
Sabbat- Disembody CD
Sabbat- Satanasword CD
Solitude Aeturnus - Into the Depths of Sorrows LP
I just ordered...
Burzum- Hvis Lysett Tar Oss CD
Burzum- Det Som Engang Var CD
Burzum- Burzum/Aske CD
Burzum- Filosofem long sleeve.
Filosofem CD was out of stock, the feckers. Ben meaning to grab these albums on CD for years so I can play them in the car. About time 8)
Third Island- Burning CD.
Hexvessel- All Tree CD.
Quote from: Eoin McLove on October 07, 2023, 05:28:53 AMThird Island- Burning CD.
Hexvessel- All Tree CD.
Had some time with Third Island last night, quality must grab a copy.
WASP - The Last Command LP
WASP - Inside The Electric Circus LP
Picked these 2 early presses for cheap today, found them in a box of random shit and both look pretty much unplayed. Pretty nice find.
Savage!
Yeah great finds, a nice surprise
My Burzum haul arrived yesterday. My Sigh haul arrived today. Will Aus Post make it a hat-trick tomorrow I wonder.
Corpus Corax - Gaudia Vile Live
Lisa Gerrard - The Mirror Pool
Quote from: 91/30 on October 14, 2023, 04:41:08 AMLisa Gerrard - The Mirror Pool
Mighty album, picked it up for a coupla Euro in a secondhand shop in Limerick years ago.
Same here, picked up second hand at a reputable record store in the $5 CD section - CD has 'Property of [local community radio]' written on the cover, CD rear tray liner, tray itself, CD and all over the booklet in silver sharpie!
Only others I have is the best of and the album with Patrick Cassidy, mighty stuff indeed
Her stuff is very hit & miss, a definite try before you buy artist. I'm a big fan of Dead Can Dance so I generally give her the benefit of the doubt but she's got a lot of crap out there too.
Generally, her '90s stuff is good, the ones she's done with Cassidy and Klaus Schulze are great. Her version of Górecki's Symphony No. 3: Symphony Of Sorrowful Songs (2020) with Yordan Kamdzhalov and The Genesis Orchestra is astounding.
Will look out for that one, thanks. I've been picking up a few Górecki CDs in my travels after reading about him on here.
Argus - Beyond the Martyrs LP. Picked this one up in the discount section today on a whim, I only knew the name and my only knowledge was that I'm pretty sure they'd played Dublin Doom days years ago, first play here, pleasantly surprised 8)
I also left behind the Terrifiant LP behind which was going for the equivalent of €4.50 ??? Probably should have brought it home for that price
Corrosion Of Conformity – America's Volume Dealer, european edition with bonus tracks
Immortal - Pure Holocaust, reissue
Both on CD & 1st time having these 2 in any physical format
Picked up the Scythe discography on Witches Brew for €25
Only came across these lads a while ago, nice deathdoom with a few proggy hints to it

No bother at all. That's the same package I had the row with your one in the post office over too :laugh:

Only listening to it this evening, its got a more metal edge to it than a lot of its contemporaries. Singer had a great ould rasp, would have given Axl W Rose a run for the money
Love that Love/Hate album. Title track and Hell, California are some of my favourite songs from the early 90s when I was getting into metal.
Same here, bought the cassette in a little record shop in Donegal Town way back then and fell in love with it. Wasted In America is good too. Lovin' the love for Love/Hate.
Incantation - Onward to Golgotha lp
Enslaved - Below the Lights lp
Beyond Dawn- Bygones CD.
Rotting Christ- Passage to Arcturo LP.
Rotting Christ- Thy Mighty Contract t-shirt.
Ordered the 20th anniversary re-issue of YOB's "Catharsis" from Relapse.
It was €22 - the shipping was €15.
I assumed that it was coming from the EU given that the prices were in Euro. However - my confirmation email leads me to think that that it's coming from the US and I will be liable for taxes etc.
Bollix.
Looking forward to getting it though. My old copy never resurfaced after I let someone borrow it.
Yeah, Relapse closed their European operation a few years ago, just too expensive to buy from their US shop.
Quote from: Carnage on November 03, 2023, 10:25:25 AMYeah, Relapse closed their European operation a few years ago, just too expensive to buy from their US shop.
Wasn't aware of that - and, like I mentioned, all the prices came up in Euro automatically when I followed the link from YOB.
YOB sell a fair bit of stuff through Deathwish (based out of France) but not this reissue for some reason.
Yep inquired about this a few months ago thinking it was too good to be true and they even made a point of mentioning to me that they won't mark the value of orders down for customs. I think the prices coming up in euro is an IP address thing a lot of sites doing that lately which is very annoying because they should be making it clear to people if they order that they will have to pay more before the order is handed over to them.
Evil Greed is worth a look, they sometimes carry their stuff and they're based in Germany. Handy enough.
I would usually go to High Roller for replapse stuff or even Nuclear Blast stocks some of the titles I always found Evil Greed to be on the expensive side with a lot of the stuff they stock.
They are, but they're fairly reliable, delivery's usually within a week. My only other complaint would be that a lot of their stock seems to be constantly sold out. Annoying when they can sometimes be the only option for picking stuff up within the EU.
The EU relapse store was great while it was running.
I think they were partnering with the Hammerheart records distro at the time judging by some of the flyers that fell out of the packaging of stuff I bought..
You can gat a bunch of Relapse titles here from this Irish based distro.
Not the Yob one you were after though.

If it's coming through the normal post you'll pay about €12 VAT and Handling. Which isn't brutal but puts the cost of the whole thing up to nearly €50.

No bother. FedEx might have a different handling fee than An Post - I think it's €5 for duty & VAT under €50 total so you'd be looking about €13.50 instead - but it's been a while since I received a FedEx shipment to myself (in work i look after clearances through them alright but it is all done differently and suspends vat etc).
Candlemass - Ancient Dreams LP
Domhain LP landed yesterday.
Necrokinesis - A Force Made Flesh CD (banger!!!)
Was putting a few posters around town for Urban Assault last week and found an Invictus Productions section in 33RPM so ended up nabbing a few bits from that...
Sacrilagia - Sold Under Sin
Sepulchre - Cursed Ways of Sheol
Malthusian & Suffering Hour split
Picked up Dark Throne's Arctic Thunder in there too.
Didn't have it, so thought why not, like.
Coscradh- Nahanagan Stadial LP
Sacrilegia- Sold Under Sin MLP
Dødheimsgard- Medium Current of Colour CD.
Quote from: open face surgery on November 01, 2023, 09:03:21 PMIncantation - Onward to Golgotha lp
I tried really hard to like that in the late 90s and couldn't. The funny thing is how many bands I like who were influenced by them.
I did it backwards. Was into the bands influenced by them first. Maybe give Diabolical Conquest a lash.
Onward takes time to get into. It is one best DM albums ever recorded.
Never liked it either, it's mainly the vocals that put me off.
Venom - In Nomine Satanas cd box set
I see a few holy grails we're unearthed from under the floorboards in the Sound Celler.
Seen a couple of posts on the socials about it from some jammy hoors lucky enough to nab some!!!
Such as?
Metallica, Cradle Of Filth, Emperor... That I've seen posted
Pic Discs, early pressings, first pressings.
Oof. Good prices on them?
No idea
Probably better off not knowing :laugh:
Sargeist - Black Devotion Will Let The Devil In
Spotted this and a few other CD box sets on Amazon earlier when I was supposed to be buying a laptop. No laptop but five CDs for twenty quid will do.
Ooh. Nice, I'm on to that. Only have Let The Devil In .
Fired in an order for the new Malokarpatan LP from Invictus, Lord hear us.
That Sargeist has been in my wishlist for a while now... maybe this is a sign I need to buy it now :laugh:
Sargeist (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B0C1Q471FW?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image) link in case anyone wants it.
For those who don't have the LPs Osmose seem to be reissuing all of the Sargeist full length's.
Nice one. I'd definitely get an LP copy of Satanic Black Devotion after blasting it all morning. Haven't even gotten to the others yet.
Quote from: hellfire on November 21, 2023, 01:03:52 PMNice one. I'd definitely get an LP copy of Satanic Black Devotion after blasting it all morning. Haven't even gotten to the others yet.
I bit the bullet, ordered the CDs and was blasting Satanic Black Devotion yesterday. I had only heard snippets here and there but really enjoy it.
Let the Devil in is the best for me. I see Profundus left so I wonder where the band will go next. I saw them live both when Hoath Torog
was doing vocals in 2014 and once with Profundus in 2018. HT was the best but Profundus brought his own unique style to the band. I hope they can find a good replacement.
Does anyone here buy stuff from Deathwish EU?

I've bought from them before with no issues. Shirts anyway. It's been a while though and a heap of their shirts are now print on demand, which means the ship times can be longer, and that 20% off code at the minute doesn't apply to on-demand orders. So those lovely black on black comfort colours prints they released yesterday won't ship until January and aren't discounted.
Coscradh LP, Sacrilegia LP, Dødheimsgard CD, Rotting Christ t-shirt and Beyond Dawn CD in the post today 8)
Dokken The Electra Albums 1983-1987
Chambercraft - Last Cast (10" pic disc)
The Grief - Crucible (tape)
The Infernal Seaa - The Great Mortality (pic disc)
The Antichrist Imperium - Vol.III
S.O.D. - Speak English Or Die
I'm very tempted to get tat Dokken set, but the price is a bit much.
Might have to settle for the CD version.

I keep getting emails from them so must have in the past, don't remember doing so though. They might be tied in with another label/distro, Evil Greed maybe.

G.I.S.M - M.A.N LP
Metallica - Ride the Lightning LP
Ulver - Bergtatt LP preorder
I've ordered from Deathwish EU and Evil Greed a few times each, Deathwish more regularly and they've been fine.
No issue beyond their pricing/postage being fairly obnoxious but sure same everywhere, orders from both were well packed too. They're not tied in together to my knowledge.
Deathwish is run by Jacob from Converge. Not sure who runs Evil Greed but thats who was taking the card payments for the Full Of Hell lads when they were here a few months ago.
Both labels are fine but as mentioned some of the prices are ridiculous.
Iron Maiden - Seventh Son LP
Liege Lord - Master Control LP

Definitely the best Darkthrone. Coldness personified.
Yeah, it's a winner.
Arcane sun- arcane sun found an original copy on eBay
Slomatics: Strontium Fields CD
They have 20% off their stuff on Bandcamp so went for that. Still north of €20 when you add postage but it's as good as it's gpnna get for it.
A Mastodon T-shirt that I drunk-bought and forgot about last week just arrived. Nice it is too (Blood Mountain cover, no logo).
Just pre-ordered the new Spectral Voice, which will be released in February.
Knew there was something coming but had no idea when.
News to me! Who is releasing it?
Dark Descent I think. Distributed by Me Saco Un Ojo and Evil Greed in these parts.
Venom - Black metal LP from the bargain bin 😎
Darkthrone- Transylvanian Hunger LP.
Rotting Christ tix - Aus/NZ tour accidentally announced early. They're playing here in like a 250 cap basement divebar, should be cool.
When's that??
Rotting Christ are so incredibly bad at this stage it's not worth going.

Haha why is that, recent output or just shite live? Or both?
Both. You might get King of a Stellar War and then total drivel. Granted, I don't like most of their stuff though.
Ah Yeah I'm not really interested in anything after Triarchy myself but beggars can't be choosers when you live in Auckland, you sort of have to take what you can get, it's rare bands make it to Australia and even more rare to come across to NZ. Suppose that comes with being the arse end of the world :laugh:
I bought a couple of Burzum T-shirts from Plastichead there recently. Not sure how to feel about that.
I know how I feel about the €9.95 customs charge though. Cunts.
Yeah, I don't use Plastichead despite often getting drawn in to look at their ads just because of the sheer range of stuff, but there's something about their 'cover all bases in all genres' approach I never liked , the last update I saw had Venom and Green Day tees side by side. Some class Dio tees there at the minute I was eying up though. Should have just asked for them for Xmas and let the missus take the postage hit I suppose!
I try to avoid ordering from the UK where possible. I resent the government slapping on high exise charges. The Crawling CDs for example. They were under a tenner and the boys slapped charges on them.
Anything from the North is exempt. You just need to ring them up and challenge it.
I've had to do it a couple of times.
The plastihead sale can have the odd great bargain. Got a couple of Trouble hoodies earlier in the year for £13 each.

Picked up Monotheist by Celtic Frost in Tower today.
I thought that was a cracking comeback album, a shame they fell out again.
Monotheist for me is by far the best CF album. I really hope it gets a vinyl reissue soon I never got around to getting the original and the repress was sold out by the time I even knew it had been repressed.
I have seen Tom is doing Triptykon Shows with just CF material (no Monotheist stuff unfortunately) and also shows with just Hellhammer material. In some cases they do 3 nights in a row with a Triptykon set on the last night. No fear of any of those shows ever coming to Ireland but it would be great to see them and I am sure it would do good numbers.

Ever since those bullshit EU customs rules came into effect in July of 21 I think it was everything gets a charge they get rid of that 20euro allowance or whatever it was.
I got an order from Hells on Friday then on Monday a customs notice came through the door looking for money :laugh:
Can't you just ignore it once you've gotten the stuff? I'd send them back an autographed picture of my arse.
Yeah that's why I was laughing because they won't be getting a cent from me.
Lads, if any of you have €7 to spare to you could do worse than buy Cork hardcore legends Ten Point Rule's 1999 EP (remastered) on Bandcamp in aid of Cork Penny Dinners' Xmas fund. 100% of sales go to the charity.
They were hoping to hit €1000 but that looks out of reach now. They're at around €600 which is no bad achievement.
I'm not involved with Ten Point Rule but the lads are sound heads trying to do something positive. And that EP still rips!

Ordered it last night... delivered by lunchtime today.
Christmas Fucking Magic!!!
Ordered...
Megaton Sword- Might & Power CD.
Heavy Sentence- Bang to Rights CD.
Root- Hell Symphony LP.
What put you on to the Heavy Sentence? I stuck it in a Dying Victims order once but wasn't that taken with it when it arrived.
Been meaning to grab the new Megaton Sword all year and with postage it made sense to grab a few extra bits. I had listened to Heavy Sentence before and they sounded alright and I think their aesthetic is deadly so for a tenner I thought, fuck it. Hell Symphony has been on my to buy list for years too so the time has come to finally add it to the collection 8)
Well if nothing else you've given me the impetus to hoke it out again. Anything to get away from those damn '23 releases at last !
Result!
Graveland- Thousand Swords LP.

The day was well and truly seized! ::)
On the flip side, I saw a video from Bunker Vinyl that they got Cattle Decapitation 'Terrasite' delivered after requesting it back on 1st April. Rang them, they put it aside for me. Went in to discover one of their helpers took it out of the put-aside section and sold it to someone else instead. >:( No merry xmas vinyl under the tree for me :'( Amazon also cancelled the order for it as they never got it in stock for the 5 months I was waiting.
A few nice vinyls came from Dark Descent / Me Saco EU store though:
Thantifaxath - Hive Mind Narcosis 12"
Fleshrot - Unburied Corpse LP
Sedimentum - Suppuration Morphogénésiaque LP
Imprecation - In Nomine Diaboli 12" Vinyl
Suppression - The Sorrow of Soul Through Flesh LP
Motörhead- Iron Fist DCD. They released this 40 year edition with a bonus disc with a live set included. There's also a heap of demos included but they have put them on the same disc as the album. PEEVE! Sure look it.
Having listened through all of the demo tracks that are included I'm actually ok with it. The demos sound bloody savage. I'm eating my hat as I type and it's delicious.
Thousand Swords LP arrived today. Looks the business, simple and classy. Looking forward to giving it a spin tomorrow.

Is that the wooden box edition?
You were saying Graveland never clicked with you before. Glad to see you've converted. The combined power of Rob Darken and Wotan is too strong to resist!
No just the regular edition. Nothing fancy just a nice quality print on the cover and a simple inlay with lyrics and a little blurb I haven't read yet.
I have dipped in to their stuff over the years and I have In the Glare of Burning Churches on vinyl and the Follow the Voice (?) of Blood CD. In the Glare is cool from time to time and the CD is not all that interesting, or has yet to click.
I revisited Veles recently having all but written them off over the years and have even grown to like them. Weird. That ultra grim, borderline retarded style is what I'm after lately.
Malokarpatan - Vertumnus Caesar
Excarnated Entity - Mass Grave Horizon
Spectral Voice - Sparagmos
Hasturian Vigil - Unveiling The Brac'thal
Master's Hammer - Finished! - The Complete Demo Edition (3CD version)

Fields of the Nephilim - The Nephilim on vinyl (well the missus bought it for me)..delighted!!
Never really listened to them bar the odd song here and there over the years, any recommendation for a first proper listen?
Elizium is the one that worked for me. Haven't dug much digger so maybe there's better recs.
Plastic Head sale on hoodies, grabbed an Eliminator one for 16e inc. postage, nice.
Amor Fati have a 20% off sale so I picked Pharmakeia - Maenadic Ecstasy and Arnaut Pavle - Transylvanian Glare.
Just ordered
Graveland- The Celtic Winter LP
Vulcano- Bloody Vengeance LP
I have listened to neither so two blind buys. It's probably considered a metal sacrilege that I've never heard a note of Vulcano before. Let's see if they live up to the hype 8)
Just ordered through Soulseller...
Old Man's Child - In the Shades of Life CD.
Rotting Christ- Triarchy of Lost Lovers CD.
Aeternus- Dark Sorcery LP.
Now I await the kick up the hole when the wife sees the bill ???
That's virtually the whole length of the world in shipping right? :laugh:

Exactly. Has to be done, sure 8)
You're not anywhere near any of those shops Simon goes to I take it then?
Simon Berserker? There are a few local shops but their stock is limited. I grab what I can local but I often have to fork out for postage from the US or Europe.
Simon from Explosive Action Channel. That's one of his shopping trips in the link
Kyuss- Blues for the Red Sun CD.
Slayer- South of Heaven CD. I used to have it on tape 30 years ago, it grew legs and I never quite felt the urge to replace it. Until today. There are many of my old tapes and CDs that all need replacing so bit by bit...
2 essentials for me, my respective favourite of each band. Nothing comes close to the cranking up of each. Indeed, it's now a toss up between each to replace Among The Living...
I only discovered that I liked Kyuss a couple of years ago by grabbing the missus's CD of And the Circus Leaves Town CD and firing it in the car. Very decent. I saw Blues... in JB Hifi today for under $20 and reckoned I could swing it as she'll listen to it as well. South of Heaven might be a slightly tougher sell :laugh:
It's got to be a dealbreaker. Not liking South Of Heaven, ah jaysus...
Green Machine on MTV was my introduction to Kyuss so that album will always be my favourite of theirs. That riff alone is the stuff that dreams are made of.
I recognised that one alright. Must have been on the metal show back in the day a few times for it to have stuck. Probably in the Sound Cellar top ten at some point.
Yup it's my favourite Kyuss album too. Knew a couple of tracks off it in my teens but never heard the full thing until I was given a voucher for Golden Discs as a gift one time - shit selection of CDs but I came away with a 3 for 20 of BFTRS, Dark Side of the Moon, and a Melvins compilation CD. Lived off all three in rotation for ages.
Melvinmania was it? Atlantic years compilation, good stuff.
Put in a wee order to Sepulchral Voice Records a while back.
A few bits of merch and plugging some gaps in the Necros Christos vinyl collection.
Also, the new Drowned and Vircolac. Dying to hear both of them. Will have to wait until the 'Lac is released before it's shipped though.
Quote from: Carnage on January 27, 2024, 03:07:49 PMMelvinmania was it? Atlantic years compilation, good stuff.
That's the one, great selection of tracks on it and my first exposure to anything post-Houdini of theirs.
Voidcraeft - "Eβελ
New Saxon, Magnum and Lucifer albums.
Motörhead- Another Perfect Day LP.
Stumbled across a small record store in the city just now. It stocks mostly jazz and hip hop by the looks of it but it had a few Motörhead LPs for sale so I'll have to try and relieve them of whatever I can over the coming months.
Edit: original Mercury Records edition from 83.
You can't really go wrong with Motorhead.
But I'm biased! :abbath:
Yup, I'm learning that. On a big buzz for them lately. I saw them live in the Olympia years ago and they were savage but I still didn't dive in. Plenty there for me to catch up on now so 8)
That Olympia gig was fantastic!
First wee Invictus order in too long:
Hasturian Vigil - Unveiling the Brac'thal LP
Malokarpatan - Vertumnus Caesar LP
Future Islands- People Who Aren't There Anymore CD.
Rather than just moaning once again about postage prices, I'll instead say tis proper sound that Darragh gives the option for the cheaper DHL p&p option without tracking. Two vinyl from Ireland to France for €8, whereas for the new Dionysiaque on its own to France was €15 (from Italy... Poland? not sure where they ship from).

Ballpark figure are they going? I have that reissue on vinyl obv never be selling it.
Saw on another forum recently the maiden xfactor vinyl reissues from a few years back are gone as rare as the originals are..mental
Most seem to be at €85 to €100+ for the 2018 reissues, plus p&p. That gave me pause, since I've only gone above €100 twice, in neither case for reissues and in both cases for albums I'd been into and wanted for ages. But then a Swedish seller threw one up with a kroner price that came in at about €70 incl. p&p, so "doable" though still in my top 5 most expensive.
Is it only on the old forum or this one too we had a thread of craziest buys? I'm sure I'm fairly sober compared to a lot of ye :laugh:

christ things are gone nuts with vinyl..i got most of the cds of them reissues and only the vinyls i really wanted..as usual the cds were ridiculously better value as you got the original album and the 2018 remix as well for less than half the price of a vinyl if i remember correctly off the top of my head, havent pulled them out since during covid..anyway enjoy it..nightfall artwork is worth it in 12 inch
1987 Noise press of Kreator - Terrible Certainty for 35 euros which is very decent in the grand scheme of things.
That's a definite bargain!
A Conorous Quintet-The Only Pure Hate. Original on No Fashion Records. Not bad for €5.
Good album that one!
Quote from: Black Shepherd Carnage on February 16, 2024, 01:24:06 PMGood album that one!
The current incarnation of the band "This Ending" have a number of releases worth checking out though none would be as good as ACC's "Silence of the World Beyond" or "The Only Pure Hate." Their "For Tears" EP contains arguably their finest material and commands big prices whenever it crops up on Ebay or Discogs. They were also famous for being Fredrik Andersson's first band before Amon Amarth came calling.
Carpathian Forest- Through Chasms, Caves and Titan Woods LP.
Haven't checked that out. Have the Bloodlust and Perversion comp that's deadly.
Haven't heard that one myself. Through Chasms... sobs decent so far. Needs a few spins methinks.
Got the new Ihsahn on CD.
Destruction- Infernal Overkill LP.
The only Destruction album I'm into. They lost the evil very quickly.
It's totally mindless but, apart from the absolutely ridiculously brick-walled mastering job, I get a great blast out of Antichrist from time to time.
I'm completely unfamiliar with them but I have to get Sentence of Death for the cover art alone 8)
Finding myself on a bit of a thrash buzz lately, having (mostly) ignored it over the years.
Sentence of Death is great as is Infernal Overkill.
I'm currently listening to Endless Pain by Kreator. I love the sloppiness of the early German thrash albums, they sound like they could fall apart any second.
Sentence of Death, Infernal Overkill and Eternal Devestation are all class.
I actually have Sentence to Death tagged on the end of Mad Butcher on CD at home but never really gave it a right go cause I wasn't into Mad Butcher. I'll go back to all of them.

Yeah it is a good listen. Plenty to take in.
Motörhead- Orgasmatron LP.
Adorior - Author Of Incest
Charity shop for 20e, talked down from 25e. Still too expensive but fuck it.
An album that's easy to get your money's worth out of at least! :abbath:
Definitely. Last saw them with Mortuary Drape in London what I have just realized was 13 years ago and I feel I need a lie down to process that fact.
Slidhr...... everything I think!

Snap. On both counts! :-X
Sentence to Death is a mighty one. I'd agree that they lost the real mean streak early on. A lot of their output after is still fairly good though.
Got the new Borknagar and Morta Skuld albums today.

That's a crafty charity shop operator. They must have gone online and researched the price. I'm lucky the local charity shop hasn't a clue
For sure. He has a Loits album there as well but it's 35e.
Ratt's first five albums. Those little CD box sets are class for picking up stuff I missed over the years.

Ah yeah? Class, will keep an eye out for both.
Ordered Dissection - Live in Kolhn. Two versions of it. Been rocking excerpts from it on YouTube for years. I believe they were supporting COF and Dimmu Boirgir. It's probably the only recording of theirs where I get it.
Finally ordered a copy of NOLA on CD to replace my copy which grew legs years ago. Cost me the square root of fuck all on Discogs. "Very good condition". Here's hoping :-X
Vircolac - Veneration
Malokarpatan - Vertumnus Caesar
Sovereign - Altered Realities
Ashbury - Endless Skies LP
Mefisto - Megalomania/The Puzzle LP
Been after a copy of both of these for years, especially the Mefisto demos, some of the best demo material ever, ancient death metal über alles, stoke they got a decent re-issue.
Quote from: Eoin McLove on February 19, 2024, 06:07:56 AMCarpathian Forest- Through Chasms, Caves and Titan Woods LP.
great record. dripping with atmosphere. best of their lot. brought the black n roll stuff back with that lovely drumming. shame they didnt build up with this style to the debut instead of that fetish stuff.
Skáphe - Skáphe² (Pennsylvanian Hunger)
The Gauntlet- Dark Steel And Fire tape from NWN. I love this..cheesy artwork and pure Bathory worship.
Devastator - Conjurers if Cruelty
Bruce Dickinson - The Mandrake Project
Both on CD.
Svart have a spring sale on. Some great deals going on stuff like Solitude Aeturnus, Oranssi Pazuzu, Skepticism etc. Postage is great from them as well.
Can confirm, I've picked up a few bits from them in the past. Might gave a look at their Solitude Aeturnus deals.
Toxik Death - Sepulchral Demons
Picked up a few new releases.
They Came From Visions - The Twilight Robes
Sonata Arctica - Clear Cold Beyond
Exhorder - Defectum Omnium
Judas Priest - Invincible Shield

Ah that sucks man. Was looking forward to catching up. Next time!
Yeah for sure, I'll be in Melbz sooner than later :abbath:
VICIOUS RUMORS - Soldiers Of The Night
LP reissue.
Had a pretty insane haul today. A woman with a blank Facebook profile on market place was selling a load of crazy stuff for next to nothing, original Megadeth, Metallica, fates Warning, Obituary pressings for 20NZD which is about 10euro. She also sold the Atheist collection 3Lp box set for 20 dollars too?!
I was like that's too good to be true but being a chancer I messaged and asked if she had anything else and she just "just some old and obscure stuff" I was like music to my ears, and she sent me through some.of what she had. I ended up getting these 9 for about 70euro. All the 80s stuff is original first pressings and all records are VG+. Couldn't believe it when I seen the Witchfynde and Acid. I was actually on the way to the house thinking I was going to get my head kicked in in some FB scam :laugh: But she ended up being pretty cool and told me had sold her house so was having a clear out and she was selling all her uncles old records off.
When I was leaving she was like "you're easier than listing on FB so I'll message through with anything else I find 😎😎😎 Hopefully she finds some cool stuff. Sickened I wasn't in quicker for the stuff she had sold earlier.

You jammy git. I have had that daydream on many occasions :abbath:
Great haul. Always liked that Bitches Sin album!
That Avenger album is totally underrated too, shit title and album cover but it rips. The vocals are kind of Brian Ross-esque.
Thin Lizzy- Fighting LP (original) 8)
Metallica- Kill 'Em All LP. After pestering a neighbor of mine to record Appetite for Destruction for me when I was a young lad Kill 'Em All was the first original metal tape I got (along with Jailbreak and Blow Up Your Stereo... Video? Can never remember which) for my birthday. Metallica instantly knocked GNR off top spot. I was obsessed. Then in my teenage years when Metallica seemed passé I sold a lot of my collection to my friends, including a few Iron Maiden tapes too. Suffice to say I have kicked myself repeatedly for that in the intervening years. Nice to finally have this again, and on vinyl no less, so I can get a really good look at the lads' acne in the band pic.
Various – A Black Mark Tribute Vol. II on CD
Haven't the CD player with me but there are some odd cover versions on this one.
Ordered the three Darkthrone albums I was missing on CD - Total Death, Plagueweilder and Goatlord (the first release with vocals). Also picked up a CD version of their demos as well.
SunnO))) - Life Metal lp
SunnO))) - Kannon lp
Bit of a wild haul yesterday...
Rotting Christ- Non Serviam tape
Sabbat/ Departure Chandelier- promo tape.
Witchcraft- Ghastly Demonolatria tape
Witchcraft- Sodomythic Temple tape
Sabbat- Harmageddon Vinylucifer Singles pt.2 CD
Sabbat- Envenom CD
Sabbat- 20 Years of Blokula CD
Sabbat- Fetishism CD
Sabbat- Karmagmassacre CD
Evil- Possessed by Evil CD
Beherit- Drawing Down the Moon LP (As soon as I saw that recent NWN version I had to get it . it looks incredible compared to my Primitive Reaction version)
Destroyer 666 'Unchain the Wolves' t-shirt- Non original album cover version sadly.
Sabbat t-shirt.
Witchcraft t-shirt
Edit. A few more bits added today.
Acid- Maniac LP
Old Tower Draconic Synthesis tape.
Iserne Zine #1
Kat logo t-shirt.
I just opened up Drawing Down the Moon. So glad I decided to pick it up as it is a stunning edition. A single LP which is always good for a lazy cunt; really stunning finish on the gatefold with heavy duty card- think Through The Cervix of Hawaah for reference; a glossy full color inner gatefold image of NHV at his altar; a massive, extensive booklet with photos of various editions of the album throughout the years, heaps of photos I've never seen before and tons of interviews and articles to get stuck into. Absolutely worth forking out for if you hold this album in any kind of regard. Again, what a treat to witness these songs live in a room with incredible sound and a perfect atmosphere.
He won't sell that version to Europeans. It must have been part of the deal when he got the licence that Europeans are pushed to buy the Primitive Reaction version. I managed to get a copy this time last year when Hells got a few of them in. You can get a similar version of Oath which is also good and is available in Europe.
Not arsed with Oath so the PR version of that will do me for my once every five year revisit!
Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, had the craziest find of my life today:
(https://i.ibb.co/TcxRBK4/PXL-20240407-063510505-MP.jpg)[/url]
First press of Metal massacre 1 in mint condition, still in original plastic for next to nothing. Released by metal blade in 1982. Brian Slagel told James if he could get a band together he could be on the comp so contains the first ever material Metallica ever recorded, a demo version of 'Hit the lights'. The band members listed are Dave mustaine and Lloyd Grant on guitar and Ron McGoveney credited on bass (Although I don't think he played on this version, I think James played the bass) and James as just the singer. On this pressing Metallica is spelled incorrectly as 'Mettallica' and it's unique as this recording of Hit the lights only exists on this first press as it was re-recorded for all following pressings.
Its a massive collectors item for Metallica collectors and was actually reissued for the 40th anniversary.
Same seller as the last NWOBHM stuff I got, she sent me a pile of the stuff left that she'd found, loads of random comps and this was in amongst them. I didn't really expect anything of value just thought it would be a cool thing to have, thinking it was going to be one of the reissues. Couldn't believe it when I turned it over and seen the spelling mistake. It goes for a fair bit more than what I paid on discogs to say the least, even though flipping isn't my intention.
(https://i.ibb.co/b39ByYH/PXL-20240407-065434806-MP.jpg)
The Godzone metal was another cool find, an old famous rare kiwi comp from 1983, only 200 exist and goes for quite a bit too.
Fuck, this shit is like crack.
You jammy fuck :laugh:

I've now been entangled in some domestic drama over my recent vinyl purchases. I got a message request from some random guy saying "hey you have my records, will you sell them back to me, my ex has had them for 3 years" and the seller is like "sorry about that, they are absolutely not his records, just block him" so I don't know what the fuck to do ??? . I wouldn't have bothered if I knew I was going to be involved in this bullshit. The annoying part it's my own fault, I posted in a record collector group the same post as here as I thought I just had a regular sale, lesson learned..
At least New Zealand is so vast and densely populated he could never possibly hunt you down....

Yeah that's the fear, not trying to make any enemies over a few records, maybe just easier to sell them back to him for my own safety :laugh:
The problem is theirs, not yours. Let them sort it out, you buy what you want.
That really does suck. Hopefully they sort it out between them. Keep a copy of all the conversations you have with the seller and if you paid her electronically make sure you keep a copy of that transaction.
That just seems like some chancer that saw your post and is trying to capitalise on your haul.

Quality looking zine, though I'm lucky I didn't offer them up to the streets of Bordeaux; in my drunken state I threw them on the child seat of the bike while unlocking it then promptly forget they were there and just cycled off :laugh: Was talking to the lad running the wee stand and he starts telling me about playing live in Cork and Dublin with Fifth Dominion back in the 90s. Can't for the life of me remember the name of the band he said he was playing with, but he told me they were shite :laugh:
Power Trip - Manifest Decimation LP
Found this in the bargain bin today and decided to give it a lash for 20 bux, I've never really given them any proper time or or if I have, I can't remember. I seen them accidentally at hellfest in one of the smaller tents about 6 years ago and they were actually one of the highlights of the festival so hopefully this was worth the punt.
Anyone ever chance one of the mystery ten lps or cds from Hammerheart for 25/60euro ?

Was it a Frnech or Irish guy you were talking with? If Irish then where abouts from? This has me intrigued either way.
Nah, he was French. But sound :P
Caarcrinolas?
Yes!! Haha, no wonder I couldn't recall it to memory :laugh: :abbath:

Yep, a complete fuckin scam. Not one decent title amongst the ten LPs. I thought I might get 1-2 name bands then was hoping at least be opened up to stuff I hadn't heard of before but it was clearly whatever shite is lying around the hammerheart offices
Never heard of any of the bands and didn't play one of the LPs again, some of them I couldn't even make it through to the end. So don't waste your money dude.

They actually played both dates with Bereaved (Abaddon Incarnate). My mother was omly recalling yesterday when Caarcrinolas and their friends stayed inside and outside our house when I was a young fella putting those gigs on. She recalls it as there were a lot of them but the hot water wasn't long running out for showers!!
Ha, good stuff! I'll remember to tell him next time I see him :abbath:

Ah yes, I watch Kim and a few of the other yt channels (Expolosive Action and Roger in Norway are the pick of them) but I must have missed that unboxing. Pretty dire isn't it, only the Konkhra and Extreme Cold Winter piqued my interest. Will be steering clear so. thanx for vid.
A nice little haul from a local op shop today for fuck all.

Good to know, as I've never heard of them. Bought purely based on artwork & song titles, like the early 90s again, anyway they were the equivalent of a few Euro apiece so worth a gamble. Going back to the same shop tomorrow for a proper look as they have stuff all over the place, ordered and at varying prices instead of genre.
Love that Toranaga album too. Banger.

Stronghold is a great album. I don't think Summoning have ever released a bad album.
Slayer - Show No Mercy 40th Anniversary edition. Wanted this but couldn't justify the price but bit the bullet on this today as it was on sale, still steep for what it is but good to have an actual copy after realising the copy I have was a bootleg. No idea where I would have it from.
Yes the price for it was ridiculous €60 for a single LP and a slipmat passed on it myself.

If I found the likes of Toranaga and Fifth Angel in a charity shop I'd be leaving my name and number in case anything else came in. That's a mental charity shop haul you got there. God's Gift is a cracker.
Filled all the gaps on my Anthrax collection due to the recent thread, except the 90s Bush stuff (think hes one of the worst singers in metal)..all on cd for dirt cheap..bingeing on em for 3 weeks now..happy days
I dunno would I be pushed about the Bush albums myself, the only one I liked was WCFYA and even that could do with a good trim. If you count The Greater Of Two Evils then that's a good listen, and the only post-Persistence one I've bought. Saying that, I need to pick up the last two Belladonna albums, Worship Music is very good indeed and I need to give For All Kings a proper go.

I should have been clearer, it's a music shop selling new and a fair amount of second hand CD's...in Bangkok. I've been back twice since the first visit, and have added about another 40 CDs, I've more or less cleaned them out. Left behind only modern power metal

Evil Twin is all they played when they supported Slayer that time (and two fucking covers), that's the only time I've seen them so can't comment on other setlists.

Elder - "Dead Roots Stirring" - re-issue.
Focus - "Focus 3"
Mountain - "Climbing!"
Jodorowsky's "The Holy Mountain" - original soundtrack - re-issue
High On Fire - "Cometh The Storm" which will arrive eventually. Probably.
Mountain - Climbing! is a deadly album!

Yeah, it really is. One of those that just has to be cranked up.
That and the Focus record were bargain finds in London - less than £10 for the pair.
I must have played "House Of The King" between 10 and 15 times last Sunday. Replete with whoops and roars of "Go on, ta fuck!" from myself.
The king would've be thrown out of his own house by the queen if I'd carried on much longer. :laugh:

Bought these re-releases which are both remastered in the original correct speed.
Also bought Reek of Putrefaction by Carcass again. I sold it years ago as I thought it was a bag of shite.
Listened to it earlier for the first time in almost 20 years. I was wrong. It's fucking brilliant.

Which versions did you get? For whatever reason a few different labels have reissued these over the last few years. The Extremely Rotten Productions LPs are the best of the lot.
I bought the Extremely Rotten reissues. Are some of the other label releases a bit dodgy?

Got some Japanese punk and other odds and ends. Looks like all are original issue (don't look like bootlegs) some are versions from Japan, Thailand. Few scratches here and these but they'll all play no bother I think, I've bought much worse that will play in the car but won't play on the house CD player.
Maximum price was about 8 Euros for a few of them, average I paid was €5 a piece

The first three are your best bet. Can't say that I like much after of their output after "Focus 3".
Or just find the "Dutch Masters" compilation album which was the first thing I owned. Covers their key period.
There's a class live record as well - recorded in the US (maybe just New York) - I heard it on Spotify. It's called "Vol Huis".

Fairly amazing that these would be available in rural Ireland, the shop got them in for you or the owner just had them available ?
Nope, they were just sitting there in a big box of stuff, lot of Prophecy and Pulverized records stuff, that stuff I got was some of the LEAST underground stuff there.

Cool. I might pick it up. I was revisiting them in the past year or two having not liked them when they were about in the 90s. They were too challenging for me back then, or maybe just too English sounding. They sounded more up my street in recent years.
Typo -Life is killing me lp.
Managed to get the very last copy of Lustration - Jesus Bethlemitus Maledictus that was available on vinyl. I have been after this for a while. I kept putting off buying it when it was released and it didn't get much if any distribution due to limitation then it was sold out. No Camazotz on this album but I think it is better than the debut.
Borknagar - S/t 25th Anniversary DLP
Picked this up today for 20 dollars today in JBHifi (Closest thing I can think in Ireland is maybe Harvey Normans or Curry's) - After not being able to get into The Olden Domain I sort of gave up on them until recently. I've been listening to the debut a lot the last while and loving it so was delighted with my score.

Savage album. I only picked it up on the reissue as well. It's ferocious and attacking but full of brilliant riffs.
Yeah totally, and not usually a fan too many instrumentals either but it really works on this one.
Devin Townsend - Infinity 25th anniversary edition
Dissimulator- Lower Form Resistance
October File- The Application... CD
I picked this up for $22 (€16ish?) today. I only know them by name but I understood that they were a post punk band but the first few songs have more of an Amebix or Axegrinder sound, at least in places. I thought they were going to be along the lines of Killing Joke. Either way, it sounds good, and nice timing as I've started to get into Rise of the Serpent Men very recently!
Picked up some classics I was missing today
(https://i.ibb.co/n017HS8/PXL-20240511-051341261.jpg)
That's some prime classic metal right there.
Funnny, I was giving the Warlord marbled vinyl reissue the quare eye on Xtreem Records mailorder just last night
Is that Warlord reissue on High Roller?
Yup, lovely job they did on it with lots of inserts to fall all over the floor when you open it
Yeah high roller pressing looks great - Had that one on the list until I came across this one a mixed crate in a town about 1.5 hours where I live. 1984 roadrunner press :o

Quote from: londonleatherboy on June 06, 2024, 10:40:52 AMQuote from: Eoin McLove on June 06, 2024, 08:02:59 AMMy Black Sabbath CD box set arrived today and it looks like total shit. The CDs come in cheap replica LP covers, that is to say shitty cardboard sleeves with no inlay. The sleeves are too big for the CDs and the disc is inside a fucking piece of flimsy plastic film. I'm disgusted. What a rip off.

What do you mean the CDs will be kept in the box? You won't play them? I had Headless Cross on in the car just now and it sounds incredible, despite the disappointing presentation. I might yet grab the LPs :-[ :-X
Na I meant the individual cd boxes...theyll be stayin in the main box really..cds have been on constant rotation pretty much:).yeah they sound enormous on the hifi amp

Ah! Yes, I have an empty jewel case that I'll have to use for the car.
That Tony Iommi boxset is on Ebay for about €70 inc. postage, for any of ye that still want it. CD version:

Only missing Cross Purposes and Forbidden from that box so even £54 is too much for two albums and two fancy albums I already have... Or is it...

This is so like Vektor (not a bad thing), I'm having difficulty remembering whether I've listened to it before or whether I'm just mixing it up with Vektor :laugh:
Yeah, they're definitely not hiding their influences!
Good stuff though, but it's been three years since being released and looking around their social media there's been nothing posted in years so they might have packed it in. Hopefully not, love to hear a follow up
Ten Ton Slug - Colossal Oppressor
Its a ripper of an album, surprised there hasn't been any mention of it here.
It's the name man, it's the name. If they had of been called Ten Ton Steel...actually no, it's the Ten Ton part that loses me straight off.
Eleven Ton?

I like the name but they're a class outfit regardless, I'm stone mad about the Blood And Slime ep too, its fucking class.
The main problem with the slug theme is with the artwork, its hard to artistically render a slug and make it look cool.
You could draw it wearing mittens?
See, Eleven Ton Mittens. Now everyone is happy.

That looks very nice. Who put it out?
Peaceville put it out a couple of years ago. Could never justify the price but got it in the JbHifi sale for 95 dollars.
I must have a look in the local JB over the weekend!
Yeah if it's anything like NZ they do big sales every public holiday weekend and they do 25% percent of vinyl so you can get some good bargains on boxsets, thats how I got the 40th anniversary Show No Mercy too
I've never seen it for sale over here but you never know.

Some crackin' tunes on there. Those programmed drums though, Jesus.
Love Live Fast, Die Fast. Often find myself singing Man Hunt at random times.
So many class tunes on it, despite the drum travesty. Yer man is a superb guitarist too.
Yeah, Edwards is a beast, great engineer and producer too.
I hope he sheds some timber now he is apparently cancer free, it's sad to see him struggle. And I say that as someone who has always struggled with the weight thing myself.

Ebay. Saw it listed at €1, followed it for the week and, with a minute to go it was €3.26. Put in a max bid of €20 and got it for €8, fucking delighted :laugh:
Result! They badly need their stuff reissued.
Recently picked up Halford's Resurrection World Tour Live at Rock In Rio III DVD. I couldn't find a copy of Resurrection on CD so I bought the DVD as it contains a copy of the CD with extra tracks.
The cover is godawful though. It looks like a WCW wrestling video!

I just spent 150 dollars on a 'VIP hangout' ticket for British Lion, they're playing in a brewery/bar 45 mins north of Auckland the night before Iron Maiden here, not even a British Lion fan and random as fuck location but couldn't pass up the chance to see and potentially meet Steve Harris in such tiny venue.
Tell him to stop writing mind-numbing repetitive and overly long 'epics'.
Amen to that. Give us some punchy metal tracks 'arry, for fuck sake!
Still, I expect if I met him I would be a total fanboy, like the two lads in Nifelheim.
Been putting off picking them up for too long so went the whole hog and grabbed all 3 Megaton Sword releases on vinyl (plus a shirt for good measure) straight from Dying Victims. Reasonable prices too.

Open the Gates is deadly but for me it's between that and Courts of Chaos.
I have Master of Disguise. James from Terminus recorded it for me on tape years ago. I must fire it on again soon.
Never heard Realm but I'll give it a blast.
:o
Endless War is the fucking business man :abbath:
Anyone use the Earache webstore ?? Got any feedback ?
I've only bought from them through Bandcamp. Generally good, decent prices, delivery's cheap and relatively quick (~10 days).
Only once had I a problem: I ordered a T-shirt for my brother for his birthday and weeks passed with no activity. There was no response to my queries and it was only when I raised it with Bandcamp themselves that I got a refund with no further explanation. Now this was in December, the christmas rush may have come into play there.
The other side of that coin: a few years ago I got a T-shirt from them that came in the wrong size, when I brought it up with them they sent out not one but two in the correct size, didn't ask for the first one back. Which was grand as that's the one I wear now, it turns out that it was big enough as it was.
TL/DR: Thumbs up (going through Bandcamp) from me.
Pleasure dealing with earache both the store and bandcamp.
Funnily enough they also sent me the wrong size ND hoodie, and as they didn't have the correct size anymore they offered me any other so I got a Nocturnus hoodie to boot and got to keep the ND one. I told them it made up for a long sleeve IVth Crusade I returned back when it was released as the sleeve print was messed up, but they never sent a replacement or my money back so it worked out well.
I don't think I had any Brexot related problems with last orders last year for Wormrot.
By coincidence it was a Wormrot T-shirt I had the problem with. By no coincidence I'm wearing it right now.
Cheers lads 👍

My Hellbutcher LP arrived today but I haven't had a chance to spin it yet. The album cover is really cool looking but it turns out it was AI generated. I feel sick. That's it, I'm going to listen to Frogsword again.
Can't find it now, but a lad from the Paris scene who does that kind of stuff explained in an FB post when it came out that it's not AI generated. Overly digital looking, but not AI. Apparently.
Hellbutcher himself said it was. Who knows. It looks cool regardless but for some reason (elitist wha??) I would rest easier knowing a brush was applied to a canvas.

top album..must get the cd myself

The Hellbutcher LP is great and yes I read that also about the artwork being AI. Seeing them live at the end of the month which I am looking forward to.
Shame about that Nifelheim boxset that went up for pre-order yesterday.
What's the shame?
€200 plus shipping for 4 LP picture box set and the only extra thing each album comes with is a poster so essentially you are paying €50 for each record.
For comparison the Anal Cunt boxset last year was 6LPs, a book and some other stuff it cost €130 and the Dismember 12LP box that also came with a massive booklet was €220.
That's hefty alright. I have to remind myself to convert from euro to AUD. I'm used to seeing nutty prices on things over here but it's usually not *that* bad when converted to Euro with postage factored in.
and its pic disc...puke
Bulldozer haul arrived today

Looking at preordering a Rory Gallagher- BBC boxset, 18cds and a few blurays. Hefty price
Tower Records seems to be the cheapest for the Rory cds -€149. Anyone spot anything better?
An OG South Of Heaven on purple vinyl for 15e in that wee shop in Letterkenny. There can't have been many coloured, never mind purple, vinyls about in 1988 when this came out.
High on Fire- Cometh the Storm CD.
After spending years trying to find more obscure stuff and overlooking the classics, I'm now on the hunt to complete my OG 80s Maiden LP collection. It's been a bit of a challenge trying to find the sweet spot between price and grading but came across these 2 mint Japanese first presses sans Obi's. I'm meant to be on a vinyl detox but couldn't turn these down after a bit of haggling, delighted with them :D

Couple of CDs on Sub Pop
Grifters - Full Blown Possession
The Twilight Singers - Dynamite Steps
I just ordered In Battle There Is No Law on vinyl. I only have IVth Crusade otherwise by Boltthrower and think it's too one dimensional to spend time with but I've been recommended In Battle several times and have so far ignored the hint. I decided to grab it, swayed pretty much by the fucking cool artwork and probably because I have been on a bit of a punk buzz of late. If it turns out to be trundling shite I'll Jihad yis.
Nah, it's got a lot of the crust thing going on. All of their albums are great TBF.

Yeah, I can understand that. Honestly, as far as 90's BM goes, in recent years I think I have listened to those bands, and early Samael, Master's Hammer, Root, Mortuary Drape etc more than the Scando bands really.
There's more character to those 4 bands for sure but still a lot of classics from the Scandi scene as well.
Ah yeah, I love the Scandi stuff, but often I need that southern heat 8)

Of course, I still love the earlier Scandi stuff, and even a lot of what was being released in the late 90's/early 2000's, especially the Moonfog bands.
But I suppose the Greek stuff maybe fits in more with my general listening habits in recent years, going back more to early death metal and doom/death, first wave BM, crust etc.

One of my best second-hand vinyl hauls in a while down one of the local shops this morning, all near mint:
Oranssi Pazuzu - Muukalainen Puhuu
Iron Maiden - The Number of the Beast
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter
Death - Spiritual Healing
Burzum - Burzum/Aske
Slayer - Show No Mercy
And from the non-metal bargain bin:
Peter Gabriel - s/t / 'Car'
Stevie Nicks - Bella Donna
Cat Stevens - Numbers: A Pythagorean Theory Tale (never heard of this, but has cool cosmic artwork with a window sleeve, on top of that oddly un-Cat Stevens title, so for a fiver it was a no-brainer to grab it)
Killer haul!Looks like you just hit that sweet spot when someone has just been in and offloaded, very rarely happens!
Yeah, must have. There was about twice that again of great stuff, but my funds wouldn't stretch further. Near mint second-hand don't go as cheap as it used to!
Rotting Christ - Triarchy of the Lost Lovers lp & Passage to Arcturo lp.
The Partholón CD arrived today. I'll fire it on in a bit 8)
A simple pleasure also - strolling through Cork and finding metal in different shops earlier this month.
Started at 33rpm - pleasantly sirprised to find an Invictus section. I picked up the Malthusian / Suffering Hours split. Must pick up Ensared the next time, and maybe the Dead End retrospective that I was really surprised to see. I hadn't heard anything of theirs since a 7" in the early 90's that I loved.
Onto Bunker Records then. Great selection but nothing I didn't have took my fancy at €30 a pop. Also charging more for the Invictus stuff up the street.
Onto Plugd and Power Trip on LP was a nice find, but alas I had purchased it previously already on bandcamp :-\
Over to Golden Discs in the old HMV store then and picked up Amorphis "Halo" on CD. Plus upgraded my Ride the Lightning tape with a CD version, albeit one of those cardboard covers that's a pet peeve here recently! Bought Eminen and Green Day also for the kids (the poser scum).
Finished up in the The Poor Relation with a few bottles of Cronin's Cider and buckets of ice, before a gorgeous pasta in the Italian around the corner on Maylor Street. T'was bliss to have a rare Saturday afternoon to myself :)
Very hi-fi-falutin altogether!
;D
Christ! I haven't had a day like that in years. Used to do it regular enough in years past. I'd hit all the charity shops for CDs too, but finding anything good is pretty rare these days.
Ha, that reminds me, As par t of that wander aroind I had gone in to one charity shop but it seemed an auld fella inside had shat his pants so I got out lively and that was that :laugh: I used to love going into such shops for books more than anything but that put an end to the thlught that day.

No. Although...apparantly they were on holiday for a while. Maybe that effected it ? That's why my stuff took a while. Arrived in a week once dispatched though.

Emberdawn by Mefitis and Fragments at the Edge of Sorrow by Mortify finally arrived in the post from Chaos Records in Mexico.
Dark Quarterer – War Tears, 2007 reissue on CD. Had a chance to pick up a few others at less than €6 a piece but only know the band by name
I just ordered Gorgoroth- Pentagram on LP (reissue). Total impulse buy. I have listened to it before and found Hat's vocals on the ludicrous side but I'm willing to put in some effort to see if he grows on me. Hat...

His vocals are great, best vocalist the band has ever had and that album is one of the best things to have ever come out of Norway.
Yeah I kind of have a notion it might be a grower for me. So a calculated risk rather than a hairbrained purchase? let's find out!

Good stuff. Liking the new track, will pre-order the album from Bandcamp.
Just discovered Fabricant when I was Googling the new Mefitis. Have Drudge to the Thicket in the basket as well.
I picked up The Black Album. I got the tape when it came out and lost it not long after. We were visiting family friends and I left it, Rust in Peace and Nevermind (which wasn't even mine) behind. When we got home I rang and asked them to post the tapes back but they had mysteriously vanished never to be seen again. Totally over it :-X
Thirty something years later I have finally gotten around to replacing it. I picked up Rust In Peace on CD years ago and haven't bothered with Nirvana. That is pretty much my life story so far. Now to begin living again.

Yeah, top tier vocalist/release for sure. I would have preferred if Pest put his own stamp on his albums instead of a Hat imitation. Very competitive in Norway for the best of list. i could only whittle down maybe a top 20 releases at best. Too many classics. Pentagram is in there though.
Picked up Interdimensional Extinction and Hidden History of the Human Race on CD in Tower. Have never heard Hidden History, looking forward to getting stuck into it.
Got a few in the post this week:
Kanonfieber - Die Urkatastrophe
Eldamar - Astral Journeys Pt. I : Creation

Yerra he used to perving on the young wans in the peace park.
Just bought a new record player after having my old one for 16 years 8)
What did you get?
Nothing crazy, just the Audio Technica LPX120. Sort of mid range I think, but anything will be better than the piece of shit I'm using now. I don't think you need audiophile gear to listen to Sarcofago anyway :laugh:
There's some crazy expensive shit out there these days.

I picked up the latest Skeletal Remains, Ripped to Shreds and Sorgelig on bandcamp last night amongst others, but they're the standouts for me.
Earache have some good deals going on as well for bandcamp Friday. They keep them up for a while if any interest, e.g. Napalm Death colour vinyl €17, Morbid Angel hoodie €20.

Ha that's gas! I'm fairly sure I knew that girl, and if it wasn't her then he must have had a thing for St. Angela's ones (School Mhuire prob too high maintenance). He would have been in UCC at the time and I reckon she was fourth year.
Just put in an order for the Tapping the Vein DLP reissue. Probably won't get it until December though. I don't really want need a '2024 redux' and Pity they've gone with the gammy translucent red colour but will be nice to finally have a copy all the same.
LP order of new Blood Incantation was pretty much obligatory. Don't know what kind of collector editions or whatever there are, just grabbed a basic from EMP, having seen some places already seem to be sold out.
My copy of Blood Incantation just turned up today. Just a CD. Now I can talk about it with all the cool kids.

I let a buddy have my copy I ordered as I was in Dublin on Monday and figured I'd grab another one (to see Lauryn Hill, no less) - hit four record shops, all sold out of it. Whoops :laugh:
New Blood Incantation, Nasty Savage - Abstract Reality, Candlemass - Nightfall, Unyielding Love - The Sweat Of Augury
Ordered the second Jarhead and 200 Stab wounds LPs with the new BI along with the Collapsed Skull 7". I also ordered Necrophagia Black Blood, Harvest Ritual recent vinyl editions and the new DHG side project album that is suppose to be out this week.
Good reminder that I've still to check out that DHG thing!
Strange buzz with the new DHG side project. It was supposed to be a return to their early black metal style but the song they put up sounds like a continuation of the recent stuff. I was looking forward to hearing a more traditional take so it is a bit disappointing.
Ah yes, Dublin's own Doedsmaghird :laugh:
Yeah grabbed the digipak Blood Incantation last night saw they had it back in

Motörhead- Iron Fist deluxe 3LP. Couldn't resist.
It was supposed to be $150 but someone must have put the wrong sticker on it so I got it for $99 8)
Iron Fist is the only Moterhead LP I'm missing.
Might have to trump up for the 3LP set too.
Worth the splash I reckon. The demos are savage and the gig is good too. Fucking noisy and fast!
Actually!
Only other one I'm missing is 'March Or Die' which is super rare and goes for silly money for some reason.
long overdue a re-issue.
Ragnarok- Nattferd LP. Worst artwork ever? It has to be up there.
Aura Noir- The Merciless LP.

Nabbed one for under €39 (plus P+P with other bits)
New Blood Incantation, Napalm Death's 'Apex Predator' and Arch Enemy's 'Stigmata'.
I love the first three AE albums. Even the the first one with Gossow is solid.
They lost me after that.

I still own the first 3, they are killer alright. Had Wages of Sin and Anthems of Rebellion but never took to them, so they are long gone.
Same as that, sure!
It's the 2CD version of 'Wages Of Sin' I have which has a bunch of covers and bonus tracks, so it held my attention, I suppose.
But 'Anthems...' was the end ofthe road for me, too.
I picked up 'War Eternal' years later from a charity shop out of nostalgic curiosity, but... Nah!!!!
yep..first 3 are incredible..Burning Bridges forever an all time classic in my book
RP- picked up the 2 Dragonlord cd's last night after a few beers they came into my head somehow..2e on discogs for the first album and 5e on amazon for the second :)
Not up for sale yet but this should be a mandatory purchase for anyone who claims to like death metal

I should have said 60's, 70s / early 80's, I wouldn't be bothered with all the collaborations they done. I suppose it must ba around that. I still need Chieftains in China, there's a great documentary on YouTube about that one

I'm the same.
Ordered the new BI from EMP as it was sold out anywhere else I looked. Got a few others as well. And it's stuck in processing limbo for weeks.
Same with an order I put on the Century Media shop. 'Unfullfilled' for weeks also.
And absolutely no reply to emails.
WTF like!
balls
fingers crossed nevertheless!
EMP replied to me there to say they are out of stock, expecting more in, but don't know when. Can also report they didn't seize the opportunity to make an "your order is absolutely elsewhere" pun.
Got the new albums from Iotunn and The Spirit.

That's the constant dilemma for out of print records that I'm on the hunt for that go for big money, surely in this day and age there's a reissue of everything around the corner.

I already have a copy of Epicus Doomicus Maximus with a bonus live LP but a local store has a copy of the triple LP boxset of it I was hesitating over today. Anyone got it? The extras worth it?
I have a Peaceville CD reissue with a live disc from 1988 - it's on CD so more relevant than the silly vinyl verion you might have...
:laugh: not even sure what that means, but yeah mine is the 2003 Powerline Records reissue (which was CD and vinyl) and the live disc is Birmingham 1988. One thing I always found funny about it is it's not a gatefold, just two LPs shoved into a simple sleeve together with a single page of liner notes. It was official, but feels bootleg (and fairly flimsy tbh).
I think Peaceville just re-reissued the same thing a couple years later. The box set I'm talking about is the Peaceville 35 year anniversary thing: "deluxe triple vinyl release includes a new remastered version of the album itself, as well as a collection of Candlemass' essential 1985 recordings preceding the 'Epicus...' session, in the form of the 'Witchcraft' demo plus the OAL studio recordings, & completed by the band's Upplands Väsby rehearsal from November of 1985."
Its release was discussed on here at the time, just wondering if anyone on here picked it up and has anything good or bad to say about the demo and rehearsal material.

I have that Powerline DLP as well. Bought it blind in Sound Cellar twenty years ago on Rodge's recommendation.
Just that all vinyl versions are for the bin.
The Birmingham gig is on disc 2 of my version, wouldn't mind the demo stuff if it got a proper release though.

I have the 3LP, cool to have but unless you're getting a good deal it's not really worth it. Good quality press but the extras aren't really essential I don't think.

Sweet. My Repairer is coming from NWN but they are usually quick so it shouldn't be much longer.

A buddy saw them at Supersonic too (I was there 2012, so missed them by 3 years!)
He met them on the lift in a local hotel, & said to them their gig was like Heaven's pouring down
I don't think they're English is meant to be great

Ordered the new BI from EMP as it was sold out anywhere else I looked. Got a few others as well. And it's stuck in processing limbo for weeks.
Finally just got a shipped notification for this. You too?
Ticket for Coroza in Galway on the 30th. Haven't seen them live, looking forward to it. The new album is mighty indeed.
'Twas only the price of a pint too.

They're deadly live, enjoy. And half of them are on here regularly :laugh:
I don't know who's who but I know Ciaran in Meatspace, we're from the same town.
I've seen a few vids alright, that one they livestreamed during lockdown was mighty. They did the new album in full at Monkfest (which it killed me to miss - again), they're hardly doing that again but I wouldn't complain if they did.

This lot just arrived in the post from WOW HD:
Judas Iscariot - Distant In Solitary Night CD
Judas Iscariot - Dethroned, Conquered and Forgotten CD
Nine Inch Nails - Broken CD
Went down to pick up the new Tribulation, grabbed a couple of good deals while I was there:
Genesis - Nursery Cryme
Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells (probably the fourth copy of this I've owned, first time on vinyl though)
Got the Nifelheim represses and the live MH album in the door this morning. Delighted to have these Nifelheim albums again I had the previous represses but sold them off 10 years ago when I was moving away. They have been selling for stupid prices over the last few years. I just wish these new versions were Gatefold.
Got the new Gates of Slumber and Mefitis albums on CD.
Finally nabbed myself a copy of Motorhead's 'Iron Fist'.
A 1982 Bronze label Irish press and all.
Spotted it in a pile of old LPs at a Christmas Market over the wekend and only cost €15, which I feel is a bit of a score seeing as the only two copies on Discogs are selling for €60 and €150.
It needs a good cleaning, but I've seen (and bought) far worse over the years.
Bar 'On Parole' which I have a re-issue copy in the works from Scobes recent sale, Iron Fist was the only one of their albums from the 70's - 80's that I was missing.
All I need now is 'March Or Die' and I have a complete set of all their studio albums.
Not going to get my hopes up though as copies go for absolutely stupid money these days.
It really needs to get a proper official re-issue again. It's the only one they seem to completely neglect.
Got the Unholy demos 2xlp and Magus discography lp in the post today, two old favorites

From wiki: "Motörhead released 23 studio albums, 10 live recordings, 12 compilation albums and five EPs over a career spanning 40 years."
I have 10, 8 studio & 2 live albums

Triumph In Hatred https://amzn.eu/d/7lUhCzC
Was only 8.30 (cheaper now) but it arrived with a Large T-shirt of the album and sticker. Doesn't say it came with a t-shirt so might be worth a gamble if you are interested in it.
Also I am too fat for a large t-shirt and it says Triumph of Hatred on the back so if anyone wants it, otherwise it will go to the charity shop.
Gohr Al Krohn- demo CD.

Osculum Infame/ Funeral split LP
1st LP is a classic if you don't have it. Probably sold out on vinyl everywhere but Medieval are reissuing it. Saw them live in 2014 and DK threw a load of syringes into the crowd. That Funeral demo is also great.
Is the first one Nor Du... or something? Pretty sure there was a reissue of it last year. Maybe on NWN.
Yeah. The reissue was done by Impure Wedding about 4 or 5 years ago after years of having no reissue due to problems with the rights.
The one with the decayed castle and the horses on the cover? I've listened to it online. I'll keep an eye out for the reissue.
I've no concept of time anymore 🙃
Yes the cover always reminds me of Dark Medieval Times. They are doing a one off show with the original vocalist who's on the demos and the first album at Steelfest this year which would be great to see.

DMT and Det Som Engang Var. Was working in a cafe in Galway in 2003 and one of the waiters was on about that album. Took note and searched for it for years and when I finally heard it, I wasn't arsed with it 😄 Must give it another go.
You weren't into DMT or DSEV? Both are deadly.

Bought a CD copy of "Where Blood And Fire Bring Rest" by Zao on eBay.
It transpired that the bastard had just burned it onto a CD-R and had printed the cover out on shitty printer paper. Typed out the tracklist himself, misspelling some of the song names in the process.
He refunded me after I put him on blast and luckily found a real copy.
Bought 15 cheap CDs today bit over a € a piece.
Pick was probably Paradise Lost – Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us - according to the reviews anyway it's good, haven't a chance to put it on yet
Paul Tremblay: The Cabin At The End Of The World paperback.
The basis for Knock At The Cabin, €2:40-odd new on Amazon. Bezos may be a prick but can't argue with that.
Oh yeah, I recently bought the digital reissue of Jesu's Heart Ache - the EP remastered plus live and remixed versions of Ruined.
Bought the 2LP version of Sabbath's Dehumanizer well before Xmas. Had pretty much given up on it but low and behold, it just landed in the door today. :)
Where did you buy it from out of curiosity? That's a long wait, though a nice surprise
Got it off Amazon, actually.
Got a reduced price offer on a copy but charges to ship here from the States were pretty high. Adding another £25-£30.
But shipping and charges to the UK were free. So took a chance and got it sent to my sister over there. She then reposted it onto me in late October.
Wow, you'd wonder where the feck it's been lying since October
Nomadic Rituals: Fust CD preorder
Looking forward to this, immense band and the preview track's a belter.
Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny of Souls LP, being such a maiden fanboy, I'm actually not really a fan of his solo stuff that I've heard but thought it was worth the $20 punt from the bargain bucket.
Boarhammer- II: Chemognosis... CD

Quote from: Eoin McLove on January 25, 2025, 11:58:27 PMBlack Sabbath- Dehumanizer CD. Looks original 8)
Absolute belter!
Easily the heaviest Sabs album, IMO.
All four in the band giving 100%.
Brilliant album, not a weak tune to be found. Such a shame they couldn't keep it together at the time.
I'm new to it but first impressions are good 8)
Dehumanizer is a great album and the most viciously heavy and brutal record of theirs since Sabotage.
Yeah, another fan of Dehumanizer here. Was actually the first ever Black Sabbath album I owned, having bought it in my teens off the back of Time Machine featuring on the Wayne's World soundtrack :laugh: :abbath:
I like it but it's not a patch on Tyr or Headless Cross. Maybe it will grow on me more with time but I always find with Dio that I enjoy him up to a point, but bar one or two exceptional songs (Die Young!) I find it hard to love his voice.
Holy Holy- Paint CD. Couldn't resist, and only $12!
Holy Holy- Hello My Beautiful World CD. Not sure about this one. Too pop/ RnB on nature for my liking.

Picked up Icon by Paradise Lost on CD for €7 in Golden Discs. Only have the shitty Original Album Classics version which is in a wank cardboard cover with no liner notes, so nice to get this version.

The Fire Walk with us LP that was released last month arrived today. I have been waiting for years for this to be done on vinyl and while it was cheap enough at under 30euro including delivery no lyrics included which I find annoying. Same with Black Shining Leather that also arrived today it's the Peaceville repress and again no lyrics included.

Thin Lizzy - Johnny the Fox, still a couple of gaps in my TL collection I'm trying to fill in
Wrong thread. I'm an idiot.
But last purchase is the new Century album, Sign of the Storm.
Grabbed that Century too on spec really, just remembered Fenriz on the last Darkthrone writing something like Listen To Century (Sweden), I imagine he put a few heads their way with that
New one is good if not just an exact continuation on the first one.

Pantera: Power Metal. One of the lads spotted it in Mojo so it had to be got! Sounds great for a boot too.
There's a few more of these boots doing the rounds again, no doubt due to the current lineup and tour.
One of the few boots I'll happily settle for, to be honest.

Glad I nabbed a copy before the bastards hiked up the price.
I'm surprised it's as cheap as it is, still. Less now than I paid for it on release. Especially considering how expensive the Troublegum and Infernal Love reissues are now, even secondhand.
It's back down to £4.05 now!
Is this dynamic pricing for CDs now? :laugh:

Aye, I've done pretty good on a few bits that way.
I'm rather fond of seeing if I can do the returnless refund every so often for the odd freebie 😂
Latest Cloven Hoof, Scanner, Rage, Accuser...heaps of stuff I have in the basket for months waiting on price drops and that's just to get them under twenty freaking quid on cd. Oh and as for the latest Deceased? A mere 75e for the vinyl at the minute. Crazy shit altogether .On of my simple pleasures lately is finding one of these wants at a distro for a fraction of the price but those ones above have eluded me so far.
I just bought an original copy of Sabbat- History of a Time to Come on vinyl. $85 with postage... fuck it! Cool album and one that has grown on me over the years despite Walkyer's thtrange-ah! Vokill-ah! Delivery-ah!
I have never picked up Dreamweaver so I'll have to try get a CD of that at some point. Maybe a vinnil as well, sure. I have never heard a note of the third album and never even knew it existed until recently when people here were saying how shit it is. I might have to give it a listen.
Graveland - Carpathian Wolves CD
Graveland - Memory and Destiny CD
I've been listening to a lot of Graveland recently, so I decided to buy these directly from the bould Rob's Big Cartel. I hope he doesn't do anything racist with the money.

One regret I have is actually spending money on a vinyl copy of the third album sometime in the 00s, even though I was told it is pure muck. It wasn't expensive but I could have bought a few pints and a chippy instead. Listened to it once. Can't force myself to listen to it again.
That has me very curious indeed :laugh:
Dreamweaver on at the minute so it'll have to wait.
Bell Witch- Mirror Reaper LP just arrived today. Looking forward to a couple of kid free hours at some stage to lash it on and listen in one sitting.

I'd say quit while you're ahead and leave Mourning Has Broken well alone. It's only redeeming feature is a pretty cool cover. Strange to say I'd love a t-shirt of that yet I'd still not be able to defend the album. Come to think of it I've never actually saw a t-shirt of it or anyone wearing one. Speaks volumes I suppose.
Yeah the artwork is really good.
I had eyeballed the Sabbat vinyl box that came out a couple of years ago on a few occasions but the cost even without postage to these parts was too hefty to justify. Happy to get this on at least.
Yeah I was sussing out a few distros that still had it only recently but just worked out to be mad money.
Got the Sabbat boxset off Scobes when it was released for a decent enough price.
The BBC session is amazing. Some energy.
Ah it looks like a beaut alright.
History... LP arrived and it sounds immaculate. Bar some minor aging on the inlay it is in pretty perfect condition. Whoever owned this begot really looked after it.
Swans: Birthing 2CD/DVD
After mentioning it in another thread, fired in a pre-order there. Apparently it's their last 'big sound' album, I wonder will he go back down the folky route as on The Burning World or the Angels Of Light albums?

The new Drudkh, Benediction and Messa albums turned up this weekend.
Was going to get that Deicide LP. I have the boxset but a copy with lyrics and the Jesus disemboweled art would have been nice. Had the repress from 2011 but that didn't have the Jesus art. The prices in Europe were a disgrace cheapest I saw it for was €45 while most places in the US were selling it for $30. It would probably arrive with a ripped inner sleeve.
That Wu-Tang Clan DLP was retailing for over €90. The sooner this vinyl bubble bursts the better but I have been waiting for years now for that to happen.
This once upon the cross LP has to be one of the maddest looking records I've ever seen. I don't really care for coloured records but this is fucking cool, it's like brown marble held up to the light then turns blue at an angle. Will try get a photo.

Looks like two different records alright, I had to check they were both the same side! I don't mind coloured vinyl if it reflects the cover art somewhat, that there is a bit random alright, looks more Neurosis than Deicide I'd still snap your hand of for it mind you 😎
Looks damn cool alright, but true it doesn't really seem to have a thematic tie to the album itself. Ah sure, what of it.

The colour choices for OUTC and the repress of the debut really seem to be "what's left in the plant lads?"
The label that's putting them out don't really have a track record with metal either.
Just give everything on the Roadrunner back catalog to MOV. It'll be reasonably priced and sound deadly.
Quote from: Anvil on April 13, 2025, 07:56:05 PMThe new Drudkh, Benediction and Messa albums turned up this weekend.
Hadn't heard of Messa before your comment. Listening now and I like it. Initially reminds me a bit of GGGOLDDD.
Edit*
Yeah this is great. Shall grab it on pay day.
On my second listen of the most recent Messa album off the back of these two comments. What an intriguing musical proposition! Will def be checking out some more of their stuff.
The previous one is all I've heard by them, it's not bad. Didn't have much staying power for me though.
I only have this new one and the previous studio album, Close, plus the Live at Roadburn they released. I've liked everything I've heard so far, so will be trying to find the rest of their back catalogue at some point.
Ya, the last album is great and full of cool ideas but it feels a bit too long. Haven't got round to the new one yet but the two leads singles were class.
Black Sabbath- The Eternal Idol 2CD.
The Cure- Seventeen Seconds LP. The dude behind the counter was wearing a Cure tshirt so we had a nice natter.
Picked up Eternal Idol and Cross Purposes on LP myself, along with Red by King Crimson.
Geezer puts in a seller turn on Cross Purposes.
From retardo postie today...
Black Sabbath- Eternal Idol CD.
Osculum Infame- I'a aem'nh s'ha-t'n (dozy cunts) LP.
This fucking yoke has been sitting for weeks in the post office and the postman didn't think to leave a slip to let me know... sure why would he. I thought to myself- this lad is a right i'a aem'nh s'ha-t'n! And I don't say that lightly.

Had two records from Overuse sent to a mate in Sydney cause they are still sending back post from Australia for no reason that comes here to Ireland. Checked the tracking last night and the fucking thing is on it's way back to the seller because they tried to deliver it when everyone was at work and didn't bother their asses leaving a slip. Really fucking annoying now it looks like ill have to pay yet another postage fee to get them.

Chronic shit. When they leave it in a "safe place" it's like fucking hide and seek trying to find it. Why is RIGHT BESIDE THE FRONT DOOR WHICH IS COVERED SO IT'LL STAY DRY AND I'LL BE ABLE TO FUCKING FIND IT not the very first safe place they think of... behind a tree, in a birds nest, around the corner in a puddle... good one dudes, the baddies will never think to look there. Or me for that matter!
Trelldom- Til Evighet LP bootleg ordered.
Spin Dizzy has the Deicide self titled reissue up for pre-order at €48.99 for anyone interested and I saw Sentinel was taking pre-orders last week at €55 each. Another easy pass for me especially after reading that the Once Upon the Cross LP cover and printed inner is pixelated and very flimsy. The vinyl itself is suppose to sound good.
https://spindizzyrecords.com/products/deicide-deicide-reissue-lp-metallic-red-and-white-centurion-vinyl?_pos=1&_sid=ff1d4847d&_ss=r
Have it ordered it with Sentinel. Bought OUTC but haven't opened it.
Steve Von Till- Alone in a World of Wounds CD (pre-order)
Steve Von Till- No Wilderness Deep Enough CD.
Been on a mad SVT buzz in recent times but all I have is As The Crow Flies and the first Harvestman so the time has come to start catching up.
Few bits picked up today and yesterday
CDs
Ancient Ceremony - - Synagoga Diabolica, German BM
Halloween- Pink Bubbles Go Ape
My Sister's Machine - Diva

Skyclad – In The... All Together
Vinyl
Thin Lizzy - Live, 1980 – 12", 45 RPM, 4 live tracks on this one
Gary Moore - Dirty Fingers
Aerosmith - Get Your Wings
Samael- Ceremony of Opposite LP reissue. I couldn't resist. I have had the CD since around 95 or so but it's worth picking up on vinyl. Great album.
Alice Cooper – From The Inside, CD

This arrived yesterday. The belt on my record player broke the day before :-X
Ordered...
Mysteries- Promo 94 CD.
Mysteries- In the Dark And Sodomy CD.
The Mysteries material is great I bought the LPs back when they were finally released two years ago. Vocalist sounds a lot like early Varg. The Legion demo with the same vocalist is also great. It has been released a few times times as a split with Veles which has their first demo on the other side.

Yup, must grab the Legion /Veles split. Funny on YouTube seeing all the Polish black metal fans defending Mysteries from accusations of ripping off Burzum. But I mean, anyone with ears can hear it :laugh:
Vircolac - Verneration lp
Bones - Sombre Opulence lp
Black Altar - Death Fanaticism lp
Pink Floyd - Live at Pompeii lp
Bad Moon Rising - Opium For The Masses, CD
Kiss – Love Gun, LP
Gary Moore – Walking By Myself, CD, Single, Numbered, Purple Collectors Edition
Candlemass - Epicus LP
Opeth - Damnation LP
Nick Cave - Push the Sky Away LP
My two Mysteries CDs arrived today. Bizarrely there is no tracklist on either. Still, happy to have these demos as they sit nicely alongside early Burzum, Forgotten Woods and the In the Woods 'Isle of Men' demo.
Macabre:Dahmer
On CD
REPLACEMENTS ;
Sorry Ma,Forgot To Take Out The Trash (1981)

'Dodge And Burn' by The Dead Weather
Grim Reaper - Fear no Evil LP
Saxon - Strong arm of the law LP
Judas priest - British Steel LP
Rainbow - Long Live Rock n' Roll LP
Death: Symbolic LP
Sounds absolutely savage, but seriously, fuck labels not using poly sleeves for records.
It costs feck all!
I need to grab a job load of poly sleeves actually.
Boards of Canada - Geogaddi LP
Birthday earlier in the month, decided on this as gift to myself: near mint original pressing, price not mental, will most certainly have paid for itself in terms of listening pleasure in no time.
Picked this one up in the wild today. Canadian heavy metal from 86, metal blade version. Some great moments on this one, but maybe the only album I can think of that opens with the worst track on the whole record.

Yeah, I think it'll be a TON situation with it, where they'll repress every few months as it's apparently doing well.
Sounds fantastic

I just ordered it. I use to have the Hammerheart version but sold it off years ago when I was moving and kept putting off ordering the Hells version then it was sold out.
I hope NB do Gloom, Grim Reality and a proper vinyl version of Grim Scary Tales.
Graveyard (SWE) - Hisingen Blues, on CD after a good few years listening to the MP3s
Deicide - S/T LP
Waited a long time for a proper copy of this, my favourite death metal album of all time. Should arrive next week hopefully. I've high hopes for this one after OUTC sounded so good. There's not many things in NZ that are cheaper than anywhere else but it seems like records work out a fair bit cheaper than Ireland. I paid 60nzd which works out to about 31 euro which id still consider on the higher end here. Spindizzy are selling it for €50 😯 I don't know if they're getting lashed with customs or just chancers but that's a pretty big difference.
Great haul from invictus
Qrixkuor & abhorration LPs
Malokarpatan, abhorration and qrixkuor merch.
Also king crimson red & van der graaf generator god bluff LP all arrived last few days
Got the new Slough Feg EP, the new ...And Oceans album, Mayhem - The Henhouse Recordings, and the new Wanton Attack album. All on CD.
Every time I see that Mayhem title ... :-[
The Sisters of Mercy- Floodlands CD.
I saw this on Discogs for fuck all and thought I'd grab it but when I went to pay it connected to my wife's PayPal account so I reversed out of the page. But it was too late, the payment went through. So if you see me here tomorrow with a black eye and a front tooth missing don't panic, it'll be some kind of completely unrelated accident...
Totally worth it, it's a great album. The remaster has a few nice bonus tracks attached too.
Happy days. I'm on a bit of a goth/post punk buzz of late.
Storm- Nordavind CD in the post today. Cheers Nightlord.
Hate Forest - Against All Odds. Another new album, recorded August 2024 and released on Osmose Productions.
(https://i.ibb.co/MDhLMDvK/PXL-20250614-051050264-MP-2.jpg)
Looks like nobody can nail a Deicide reissue, blurry photos again 🙄
Faith No More - We Care a Lot cd
Used to have this on tape but lost it years ago, never bothered replacing it because I don't think it's that great an album. Saw it going cheap though so figured I should finish off the collection

Sepultura- Schizophrenia
Also on CD

Nice bargains there
Anthrax- Persistence of Time tape. I used to have this and lent it to a friend 25 years ago and never saw it again. Nice to replace it!
Virgin Prunes- If I Die, I Die... LP found around the other side of the gaff just now. The missus happened to go around there to check something else and found the record sitting there. Lucky! The weather is to turn to shit tomorrow and it may have ended up destroyed.
Preordered the new Stangarigel lp from Medieval Prophecy, along with the Metafyzika Barbarstva repress. Very excited to hear the new one.
Ordered most of the Medieval Prophecy stuff and some of the new Final Agony releases. I didn't realise the Medieval Prophecy stuff was a pre-order :(

I got the Mortal Decay from Iron Bonehead not sure if they still have copies that was a while back. It's a Hells release so should be plenty of places in Europe stocking it. Hells also have the best shipping rates to Europe of any US distro.
Edit: Osmose has Sickening on black. I got Forensic from Osmose that's the only place in Europe I have seen stocking it looks to be sold out from them now. No idea where to get the comp DLP thats been going for stupid money for a while now.

Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violent LP
Was meant to be on a record buying detox before moving but the local place had both these at 75% off, got them for spare change, couldn't turn that down!

My tolerance for completely noisy, chaotic and discordant music is quite low these days. My boredom threshold is quickly reached, but as they are historically relevant I'll give them my best shot.
If you are only going to try one thing then it should be Vampires. You'll get use to the production very quickly and it sounds a lot better then say FAOD.

Remains and Vampires are the only ones you need. The releases after are average at best and the most recent one is scutter.
Only know Vampires but it's great when the mood takes me.

Black Millenium is great too and the last of the classic era. The later albums are also decent just not as good as the earlier stuff. The comeback album from last year is good too.

Just one of the black floga reissues, hopefully it's half decent. Always wanted a copy but just got lost in the eternal want list.
I have that one and it's spot on.

Dickhead postie strikes again. I was out pottering around, cleaning up the garden and came across two parcels that were sitting at the side door which we never use, for probably a week or more. Fuck sake.

Mütiilation- Black Millennium CD.

PHM is top class and gets better as it gets older. Not a bad song on it.
The remastered version sounds great, apparently there's a Prince sample that's been removed but I've never noticed any difference in that regard.
Something I Can Never Have was a great riding song for my then girlfriend and I back then, to this day I can't hear it without getting very pleasant flashbacks.
Cathedral – Twylight Songs 7"
Reaching Happiness, Touching Pain (Autumn Jade Mix)
... a great track, even without distorted guitars.
The flute adds so much spookiness to it.
Love the excessive reverb on the snare.

Pöllömaagi tshirt landed today as did my Samael 'Blood Ritual' LP 8)
Picked up the new reissue of "Disco Volante" on vinyl on my lunchbreak, a thing I could neither afford nor knew existed. This is now my 4th copy in the last 30 years, I've lost 2 cds due to a house move and my OG lp/7" copy is still missing in action.
Bummed it doesn't have the original insert, but nice to have a decent vinyl version to hand
Oh nice, might do that myself. Only ever had it on CD, but that was hawked back when I off-loaded all my CDs before moving away.
No "Spy" on this pressing though >:(
How are you selling this so badly!? :laugh:
Ah to be fair it's an integral part of the album for me so it's a pisser.
But otherwise it sounds great, the volume on the original lp was painfully low and thin, and this pisses all over it. Nice gatefold too. Still well worth picking up if you're not an absolute nerd like me.
Hopefully I'll pick up the s/t reissue on payday if its still around
Coroner - Dissonance Theory

Oh I totally agree with you. I'll have to give the album a listen with it dropped out before buying, cos it's hard to imagine it being anything other than, as you say, a pisser.

I was ordering a Wayne's World 1 & 2 DVD because it's been on telly and couple of times lately and my son thinks it's hilarious. He's not wrong!

If it is the same deluxe 40th anniversary copy I picked up last year, the live show on the second disc has some great between song banter from Lemmy.

Presumably it's the same one. A hardback book style packaging. I have a couple already and they are really nice editions.
Samael- Morbid Metal 7" boxset. I would ideally have liked to pick up the picture disc edition but I missed it at the time- it disappeared too quickly. The black vinyl will do nicely.
Death Appeal- Precipice CD.
Death Appeal- Endstate CD.

A load of Marduk vinyl box sets are coming out next year.

Nice one! I think I only have Heaven Shall Burn on vinyl, so this will fill a gap.
I got some great bargains in the big Osmose sale the other day (first Glaciation, first Impaled Nazarene finally, last Ondskapt, third Minenwerfer), some of the vinyls (unbelievably) were down to €5. I had only visited the site to get the recent Hate Forest and ended up with loads of killlllerrrrrr stufffsss!!!!!!!!!!!!! (to quote their 90s catalogues).

That's a nice little haul! I have a few of those Listenable reissues, they're pretty good.
Danzig - Danzig LP reissue
Alice In Chains – Black Gives Way To Blue LP reissue
Not sure on Danzig yet tbh
You really have to crank it
I wasn't gone on Twist of Cain (I need to go back to it) but She Rides, Soul On Fire are immense sounding
I don't have an OG
I was expecting something huge
I'm settling into now though :)
Plus, I recently discovered the weight for my needle was a bit off, so it's still settling (I think anyway, it hasn't said anything! )
F*ck me, Am I Demon is the fcking job!
A couple of Mastodon T-shirts, reduced to ~€12 each on their site. Got two inc. postage for less than one without at full price, that'll do.
Killing Joke- s/t CD
Killing Joke- s/t CD
8) 8)
Both great, but I think I prefer the s/t over the s/t.
I'm only familiar with the s/t so I'll have to give the s/t a proper go before making a comment either way.
Double Satanic Sunday postal delivery this morning:
Samael- Morbid Metal boxset.
Killing Joke s/t 1980 CD.
Killing Joke- s/t 2003 CD.
Was tempted by that samael box set, but can't be fucked with those 7" box sets anymore, I'm too lazy for all that flipping these day, my others ones just sit on the shelf.
I just ordered the Blood, Fire, Death book from a few years ago. Was on sale from amazon for a pretty good price.
Yeah well that's a possible outcome, but I couldn't resist and having it archived, so to speak, was irresistible.
Yeah fair point :abbath:

Deicide - S/T
Deicide - Legion
Fate's Warning - The Spectre Within
Sabbat - History of Time to Come LP
Picked this one up today, one I've never seen in the wild before so couldn't turn it up. NM original 1988 Noise international press.

Also how good was the Noise Catalogue. I must get around to reading that book.

Couldn't resist this one either:

Nice. I picked up an original "History of a Time To Come" LP from Searchers Records a year or so ago. Ripper.
I just splurged on the 3LP picture disc reissue of the Thou Shalt Suffer demos which Darkness Shall Rise is putting out in March :o
Haha no way, I bought this in Searchers today! Mustn't be so hard to come by after all :laugh:
Searchers is great. They often get good bits and pieces in. I've bought so much from them over the past few years I'm expecting them to send me some complimentary shit any day now :P
Got a bunch of stuff recently...
Stereo Nasty - Nasty By Nature LP re-issue (cheers Adrian)
Necrotized - Eternal Perversions LP
Crimson Butchery - Violence By Design tape
Arch Enemy - Burning Bridges LP re-issue (love the first 3 and Wages)
W.A.S.P. - Re-Idolized LP (from Amazon, said it included the DVD but didn't so they refunded the full amount 🎄)
Picked up a tonne of golden oldies from Scobes before Xmas too... Maiden, Priest, Metallica, Pantera.
My Xmas hibernation has been going well so far.
Øxn: Cyrm CD
For anyone that's interested it's half price on Amazon at the moment, one of those voucher deals.

The album is great waiting for the vinyl version.
Ordered these on Sunday cost a small fortune but all are mandatory

Moosegut - Sharp Fangs & Glowing Eyes LP + EP

Verminous Knight - Malignant Descent LP
These popped through the postbox earlier today

First 3 Arckanum and Demos DLP
Hell Militia - 1st LP
Lunar Aurora - Ars Moriendi LP
Lunar Aurora - Elixir of Sorrow DLP
Masters Hammer - Maldoror Disco
Far Beyond All Light Book
I already own the Arckanum stuff but got these new reissues for the interview + the cover art on these is best of any edition that has been released so far. I use to own the original Hell Militia but sold it off when I moved abroad so it's great to have that again.

Mortuaire - Monde Vide
Have been told they're shopping around for a label for their next one, which is already recorded :abbath:
Trepaneringsritualen- Totality of Death A
Trepaneringsritualen- Totality of Death B
Both released by a label called Silken Tofu, and apparently completely different compilations to the two Cold Spring editions I already have. All of his various compilations seem to be released with the same title, which isn't at all confusing :laugh:
Motörhead- The Manticore Tapes CD.
Iron Bonehead, Hell's Headbangers, Nuclear War Now!....Silken Tofu??? I'm guessing it's more of a watercress and orchids type logo than the good old bones and skulls?
Haha. It's a new one on me to be honest. A Belgian industrial/ noise label. Bizarre name without question :laugh:
Quote from: Eoin McLove on Today at 06:15:13 AMMotörhead- The Manticore Tapes CD.
Worth shelling out for?
The completist in me wants to.
But I already have the self-titled and On Parole. Do I really need this, too.
I don't have either of the others so it works for me, but it's very much a rehearsal.
Chat Pile & Hayden Pedigo - In the Earth Again
Dead Can Dance - Within the Realm of a Dying Sun
Alan Parsons Project - Eye in the Sky
Fairly random purchases walking round Lyon, here for work yesterday, few hours to kill between check out and train. Haven't heard the first one at all, but yer man in that record shop was in raptures over it. But since I don't know him from Adam, only a first listen tomorrow will reveal whether they were genuine raptures or Soundcellar Tommy raptures :laugh: :abbath:
It's a weird mix. Yer man played here last year. Wasn't into what I heard of him and not arsed with Chat Pile so definitely wasn't for me.
Dolorian-When all the laughter has died LP
Delighted to have this on vinyl, and while I know it wasn't on Peaceville originally, makes total sense to have that logo on it.
Ah nice one, I'd forgotten that was upcoming! :abbath: Just threw in an order for it and popped Discouraged Ones on top to make most of p&p.
