Picture disc though, it won't sound the best, but Earache for all their faults do tend to have decent enough quality control for their stuff.



Vinyl sounds shit anyway so no loss. I just thought it looked cool.

Sleep awakens, sort of. No Pike. Bubba Dupree on guitar, Dale Crover on drums.

The new Sleep album is out on September 3rd but - and this is in true Sleep fashion - will not be available as a physical record until the end of October.

I will not be buying it - purely based on the dogshit single that they released from the album so far. 

While I'm on this subject;

Does anyone have the new (?) version "Holy Mountain" on vinyl that boasts "Full Dynamic Range"? It's on their Bandcamp for a surprisingly reasonable price inc. shipping so I am tempted to buy yet another copy of that record - and I assume that they get the cash, not Earache. 

It'll be earache getting the money, but their fdr pressings sound great and they've better quality control than third man records.

Nice one.

Does this look really cheap to anyone else? As in - too cheap. Am I missing something obvious? I haven't ordered a record from the US in a fair while.




Import fees and customs will probably double that price.

I made the mistake of buying a couple of Earache FDR CDs, they sounded weak amd thin compared to the original releases. No idea about their vinyl as I don't buy it.

Pretty sure that's in Freebird in Dublin currently. Check the website

The Sciences was where they should have ended things even with Pike still in the band, which I'd imagine is the issue, High on Fire are pretty successful, Om aren't nearly on the same level.

Nice one for the heads up. Had a look, it's listed on their site but marked as sold out.

Recordhub/Spindizzy might be another local option.

Otherwise the earache EU store.


Another shite one. All bass and only notional guitar, just call it Om and be done with it.
