The first two Ildjarn-Nidhogg eps have been reissued on vinyl. Instead of doing a single comp LP it's two separate LPs that run at 10 and 12 minutes.
Both EPs could have easily fit on one side of an LP but instead now it's two single releases at €30 a pop so ill be passing. It was the same a few years ago with the Konflict - Subjugation releases. Both released at the same time but it's 28 minutes of music spread across two separate single sided LPs.
It's getting close to the point for me where I just stop buying physical releases the price of metal vinyl especially has been too high for a good while now and is constantly going up yet the quality keeps dropping. I wouldn't be surprised if you see some distros jacking up the prices again in the next few days then claiming it's because of what's going on in Iran.
Well, it's a cash grab. I'm sure I'll get some flack for saying this, but the whole vinyl revival thing has been a cash grab from the beginning.
Saw a nice woodpecker on a telegraph pole recently. They make some noise! But in a way it's very relaxing.

Saw a swallow earlier on
Lovely bird
Fierce activity the last 2 weeks
Starlings made a nest last weekend between my gutter & roof
There's a mud-nest up the eave too
I hate when I see it fallen on the ground
This one is fierce sturdy as has lasted through the winter
I'm dreading the inevitable quote from Bono, completely insincere and pompous.
Gave Wonderland a rewatch last night. Still a good film even though it feels like The Doors part 2.
Seeing the Oddity movie mentioned too, thought that was terrible. Had to turn it off the acting was so bad.
