My local Golden Discs has seen a bump to their metal section. Picked up Carcass' "Surgical Steel" there this morning on CD as it's the vertion with the five extra tracks I don't have.

They also had stock of the new Obscura, Exodus, some Overkill albums, bunch of other stuff too. All on CD and vinyl.

Not sure if it's because of my buddy running the place is into metal himself, but it's nice to see this stuff available on the high street (in the arse-end of the country), nevertheless.

That's the one aye. Now it's not exactly a bounty of goods, but there's enough in there to make me open my wallet a bit more.

I'll have a proper root one of the days and report back.

Yeah pickings have been paltry in it for a while so anything would be an improvement, kudos to your mate.

Record Room occasionally has a few bits whenever Beaumex unloads old stock from the warehouse, usually daylight robbery there most of the time though!

I've never watched the Conan films before, but Conan the Destroyer is on telly now. Fuck, it is absolute dogshit.

[Anvil]

I love the Conan movies. 99 percent Nostalgia but I have rewatched Conan the Barbarian a few times since my youth and it still holds up as my favourite movie ever (I don't watch too many go be honest and have simple tastes as the Now Playing thread attests to).
