They're the booklets, if I remember correctly.

Inconcessus Lux Lucis - Crux Lupus Corona
Midnight Odyssey - Firmament
Virvatulet/Gratzug - Split
Midnight Odyssey - Funeral from the Astral Sphere
Spectral Lore - III
Mare Cognitum/Spectral Lore - Sol



Earth and Pillars - Earth I

Got a package from I, Voidhanger, one of the best labels for atmospheric black metal in the world and definitely the best label in Italy. Mare Cognitum, Inconcessus Lux Lucis, Midnight Odyssey, and Spectral Lore are all awesome.

Those covers are beyond terrible. The stickers on the jewel cases of the two Pentagram albums and a few others are annoying.

Those are on the jewel cases? I'm used to stickers like that being on the shrink wrap, not the actual cases. That sucks.

At least stickers can be removed and there's stuff you can use to clean any adhesive off the jewel case.

A booklet with crummy cover art isn't quite as easily replaceable unless you're content with printing out the cover you want and just slipping a piece of paper in place of the bad one lol.

That Vader shirt, on what kind t-shirt is that printed on? It's not Anvil/Gliden right? Is it softer, and more athletic cut? I'm thinking about ordering this,but only if it's not gliden/anvil crap.

Shepherd - Stereolithic Riffalocalypse (Pretty good doom/sludge with some bluesy guitar work. Very Melvins influenced)
Satan's Host - Virgin Sails (Finally deciding to check this band out)

Can't find any brand on it. The label just says vaderempire

My Heresiarch Waelwulf t-shirt is ultra light or whatever, very thin and quite stretchy "Gildan Heavy Cotton"

Aren't those the best kind though? I hate those really thick, uncomfortable shirts. It feels like you're wearing a paper bag or something.

This Heresiarch one is very thin compared to the usual Gildan stuff.
But yeah those massive Beefy T type shirts are too full on, plus they cost about $50 for a plain one ha ha

I got these in for a friend

Barbatos - Let's Fucking Die! [well that's some naughty artwork!]
Pantera - Power Metal [Russian ultra dodgy bootleg, I need a shower...]

Today I've got "Urgehal - Ikonoklast" that was a blind purchase

What you guys have to say about this album?

I like it; one of 4 albums I have from them. I can't think of how it sounds off the top of my head, but I wouldn't have bought it if I didn't like it. Though I'd say Goatcraft Torment is probably my favorite of theirs.

Well, you certainly have good taste in glam rock/metal...

I am a longtime Smiths fan of sorts, but I've never checked out The Healers. How is that stuff?

@forestcorpse: What's this 'Sharpening the Thousand Swords'? Demos and outtakes?

Various recent purchases:

Armored Saint - 'March of the Saint' LP
Putrefaction - 'Blood Cult' LP
Astrofaes - 'Heritage' LP
Dimidium Mei - 'Flames of Hatred' CD
Permanent Midnight - 'Under the Blood Moon' CD
Mangler/Abortarium split CD
Purest - 'Renascence' CD
Venomous Breath - 'Promo 2014' CD
Goatvermin - s/t demo CS

Considering this is the first time someone has responded to my glam stuff, I'm not sure if that's sarcasm or not!

Healers - To be honest, I haven't listened to more than two songs on the album. I was going through the 50% off/used section and it was the only rock-looking CD I found, so it was a completely blind purchase. I'll go through it once and let you know how it is.

May I ask you why do you collect japanese editions of your favourite interprets?

I'm still pretty new to collecting albums and it'd really interest me to know your intention behind this.

Usually for the bonus tracks. With older albums, sometimes the mastering is better. As strange as this sounds, sometimes its easier/cheaper for me to get the Japanese pressing than the US or Euro one. Also, I've seen some albums where the Euro/US pressing will have mastering defects which are absent from the Japanese one (eg, Rage "21", Therion "Sitra Ahra", Kalisia "Cybion", etc).

Yeah the Japanese are really anal about the quality of their CDs.. i've only got a handful of Japanese CDs - a couple of Judas Priest ones and Red Hot Chili Peppers - Californication and they're all top notch products. Somehow Californication also sounds a bit less brickwalled than the other CDs i've heard of it.


Oh yeah, today I got:

Nargaroth - Herbstleyd
Nargaroth - Rasluka part II
Dragonforce - Sonic Firestorm (2-disc reissue)
Manowar - Into Glory Ride (Music For Nations LP, original pressing)

Remind me to sell you some Manowar vinyl

All i'd be interested in is Battle Hymns and Hail To England. Everything else is digital recordings, so no good on vinyl

Battle Hymns and Into Glory Ride are what I have on vinyl
Email me if you're interested.

I have 3 parcels sitting here and no time to catalogue them!

Couple others:

Abhoth - The Tide + Demos (Good comp, for completion purposes)
Excruciate/Epitaph - Split Cd (Bootleg, curiosity on my behalf)

Got a couple other unofficials coming in. Just curiosity is all.

A couple of new releases amid stuff I probably am overdue in getting, in some cases by decades.



Deathrow - Deception Ignored
Watchtower - Control and Resistance
Scanner - Hypertrace
Sarpanitum - Blessed Be My Brothers
Melechech - Enki
Swallowed - Lunarterial
Disfigurement - Soul Rot
Ataraxy - Revelations of the Ethereal

The first three were thanks to a half-off Divebomb Recs sale, all reissues obv. Sarpanitum and Melechesh I'm certain will be showing up on my year-end list. The last three are some of the best death metal releases of the last few years which I'd been listening to online for way too long. I was like, why don't I have these yet?
