Yeah, I'd love to go but I've been having back problems the last while and I'd be fucked at it.
I think Carpet Remnant World is still my favourite of his.
How long was the show?

I can't make the Stewart Lee gig in Louth tomorrow night.
I have two tickets if anyone is interested.

Really enjoyed that album. Bible Black is savage, up there with Iommi's best riffs.

Brutal Truth - Extreme Conditions
Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding
Slayer - Decade of Aggression
Ozzy - The Ultimate Sin
ZZ Top - Live stuff from the late 70's early 80's.

Not a bad binge!

Bump

The hack of that guitar, fuck me. I like the BC Rich Stealth, Ironbid, and the Jackson Warrior, but you have to draw the line somewhere!!!

Is he selling the vinyl on Discogs or eBay?

I sold my (first) collection in 2014 and made about 12 grand on the lot.
I had a load of signed Dissection stuff, which helped. I can't remember the individual prices, but no single item sold for more than a grand, that is for sure! They'd be mental prices if I was selling them today.

I agree regarding the prices of original presses, especially the black metal stuff. The prices are just fucking daft!
If I'm buying something pricey, I'm thinking of it more as an investment than anything else.
I wasn't thinking like that when I was buying stuff in the 90s of course, but now I'm always thinking of it.
If I'm buying a new LP, I'll always go for the most LTD pressing as I can't take all this stuff to the grave with me, might as well buy what is most likely to appreciate in value.

The most expensive purchase I have made in the last couple of years was a secondhand copy of the And Justice For All box set, which was about 450 euros including shipping. I just have Master of Puppets left to get, but I won't be paying a grand for it!

Yeah, I thought the same. Atonement was savage, that was a tough one to follow!

The first three Exhumed albums are cool. That artwork looks like a throwback to the early days, hopefully that's reflected in the music too.

Not sure if this is just snippets from the Death documentary that came out a few years ago.

Tony Iommi: The Godfather of Heavy Metal, Volume One

Ah, thought that was this year. Don't know why, probably old age!

Perdition Temple - Malign Apotheosis
Sijjin - Meat and Potatoes Combat
Malthusian - The Summoning Bell
Suffering Hour - Impelling Rebirth

I tried to get into the new Ulcerate, but it still hasn't clicked for me. Not as immediate as Stare into Death and Be Still.
The Malefic Throne album is really good, but Tuckers vocals let it down a bit.

Suffocation - Effigy of the forgotten vinyl
Suffocation - Despise the Sun vinyl
Malevolent Creation - 10 Commandments vinyl
Malevolent Creation - Retribution vinyl
Gorguts - Considered Dead vinyl

That's a nice little haul! I have a few of those Listenable reissues, they're pretty good.

They're meant to be getting released by Universal in Europe in 2026, so don't go paying mental import prices for them.

Yes, the production is a big departure from Sacraments of Descension, which was the best production they've had so far.
The two songs they released prior to the album are probably the weakest tracks on it, although both have their moments.
The title track (which was the second one they released) has a really cool riff at the start with the flanger going 90.
