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.

[Snare]

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. 

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

Father's Day closing in over here so a couple of CDs ordered in my honour

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.

Malthusian/ Suffering Hour- split LP

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! Anyway, if any of you are interested in being a bin for something other than your better half's leftovers (but blindfolded and not knowing what it was that she was eating in the first place, let alone what she didn't finish), fill yer boots here:

Yeah, got that mail myself, think I'll pass!
We need a guinea pig, any takers?

[Trev]

I was going to but it was €28 with shipping, I'd rather get a few cds I want for that

[Thorn]

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)

Got the same delivery myself today... I've held off listening to NP album until I had the vinyl

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.

Anyone into Haunt get on Amazon today and grab the new album, red/black pinwheel vinyl for under 20e delivered
