You Dutchies have pretty good access to European releases though, anything for us here is 'an import'

So Schattenkult is pretty reliable, i get paranoid about ordering from really underground labels for some reason... but i am keen to own this, have you heard the Grav and Beketh Nexehmu stuff that's on Ancient Records aswell?
I know its easy for me to just youtube it or whatever but its so much more satisfying playing on real media.

(p.s where in Aus are you ? Melbournite?)

Beketh Nexehmu I know, but need to get a hold of some physical releases, as I like what I hear. Grav I've never checked out, so there is something for me to look into

I'm a New South Welshman mate, about 160km north of Sydney in Newcastle. Are you going to Black Conjuration by any chance in Adelaide this month?

Yeah that's true. There are even quite some Dutch releases. Apart from the EU/German releases.
But lately everyone here seems to look up the prices on discogs and look at the highest ones they can find. Regardless of where the seller is from or the pressing. In a couple of years the prices of thrash/death/black have gone really high, really fast.

My score from last week:


Árstíðir Lifsins - Jötunheima dolgferð (Double Lp)

Sorry bout this late reply. Black Conjuration is pretty damn good two night gig in Adelaide this month. Should be killer.

Ah man! that's insane! It looks like a killer gig, so many killer bands, besides Bolt Thrower, Nocturnal Graves imo are the best on the bill, Amazing live!
(although some of those bands i don't know)

Luckily BT are playing a separate gig here at the 170 Russell street in Melbourne.
Man seeing Portal live is like putting your head into a black hole headbanging then pulling it out again, its the fucking darkest soul scraping experience

the book is a deeply trip into Slayer lyrics and music.

My last purchase was a real classic, Carcass - Heartwork

Iron Maiden - Book of Souls

vinyle

Angel Witch - - As Above, So Below (2012)

Dark Wizard - Devil'S Victim (Heavy Metal - 1984)

Reckless (CAN) - Heart of Steel (Hard Rock - 1984)

Black Sabbath - Live Evil (Heavy Metal - 1982)

Danzig - Danzig
Queen - Queen
Corrosion of Conformity - Blind
Corrosion of Conformity - Wiseblood

Pick of the litter's got to be Danzig, with Blind in second.

Blind is a masterpiece I reckon, so many good tracks on it, I dislike most other COC though.
I had it on tape when I was 13, it's quite a nostalgic album for me.

Great album!

Iron Maiden - The Book of Souls, The deluxe digibook version.
Iron Maiden - A Matter of Life and Death
Mgła - Exercises in Futility, One of the best black metal albums in years. So much bleak energy and mesmerizing riffing. Mgła is the black metal band for the future.

Aha! awesome, my second favourite Ministry album, I consider this one an overlooked classic.

Only a single CD this week:

Small NWN! order:

Ares Kingdom - The Unburiable Dead
Morbus Chron - Sleepers in the Rift

New AK! New AK! Fucking fuck yes! I haven't sampled any of it yet but I've heard people they Chuck and crew really outdid themselves this time. Specifically I've heard the production/guitar tone is BLISTERING. Incendiary is a classic and the debut is a scorcher. Can't wait to see what they've cooked up this time.

Never heard Sleepers in the Rift. Figured I might as well grab it cheap while I still could. I know there's meant to be some strong Autopsy influence which suits me down to the toes. I love some of the song titles. Coughing in a Coffin. Yes.

edit: Placed an order through Discogs for the Stallion EP 'Mounting the World' on tape. I've wanted this thing ever since the first spin, but it's OOP. I would have preferred CD for the car, but I'll take a tape at this point.

Another small one from NWN:

Aria - Playing With Fire
Crazy Lazy - !Que Viva El Rock!

I was dismissive of Aria originally but I think maybe that was a mistake. Sampled this one today and it sounds really powerful. Nuanced and well thought out heavy metal with an acrobatic flair in the guitar department. I don't know what to say about Crazy Lazy. The cover art rules. It's from 85 but sounds more like 79. Horrid recording quality, hard rocking...I dig it.

Ordered Ares Kingdom - The Unburiable Dead from NWN! and then decided to finally buy their debut as well, which I didn't have yet as a physical copy. Can't wait, one of my favorite DM bands these days.
