Assück - Discography 1989-1998. This one came without a jewel case for some reason. I may have rushed into the order and missed an indication that this would be the case, but still struck me as odd.

That's funny because they actually specify that local orders go out with jewel cases, as opposed to international orders which don't.

I'm really curious about this compilation although I already have both albums on CD, being that the Anticapital version I have also brings some extra EP and split tracks. The thing is that there's already a comment on its Discogs page stating that this is a boot made from MP3 files?! I mean, is this official or not?

If anyone can shed some light on this it'd be cool.

I just got my copies of Svartidauði - Flesh Cathedral and Devouring Star - Through Lung And Heart in mail, finally. I had been holding off buying these because of Daemon Worship's steep shipping costs, but for the last two weeks I've been listening to them quite a bit, so in a weak moment, I succumbed. These two albums set me back by about 60€. And I managed to break the flimsy fucking digipack of Flesh Cathedral when putting the booklet back to its place.

Hey, Jonpo!! Guess what? I took your advice and made my first discogs purchase! I'm freakin' ecstatic to finally have this in my collection:



Original from 1997, my dudes.

Excellent first purchase! And welcome to the wonderful world of discogs!

It's been reverted back to official. It sounds like the person that changed it has no idea what they're talking about.

OK, cool to hear. I have no idea what that was all about though... Time to go listen to it then!

PS: Is there any European distro selling it?

Charge is my favorite album from these guys, you should really get this one!
My favorite track here is Must say "Adieu" (great bass/guitar solos in here). I especially like the heavyness of songs like this or Heavy. Remember, this was in 1977, before pioneers like Maiden showed up on the scene and when Motörhead's recently released debut album was the heaviest and fastest stuff around. This guys could definetly keep up with them in terms of heavyness, if they'd only have had more attention back then (japanese singsang vocals at that time probably weren't very helpful either for international success...)
Their VowWow times had some great moments as well, especially the "V" album from 1987 had some catchy tunes. Check out this video, it has two awesome songs from their best period as VowWow and captures the feelings of an 80s music festival as well in the second half of the video (sadly, shitty video quality)...

I don't know enough about music file types to give you an answer there. I can listen to the tunes, so that works for me, but I did notice that the Discography was deleted from their MA page. Not sure what to make of that.

I've been reading the dicussion on the NWN Forum and it looks like a mess: http://www.nwnprod.com/forum/viewtopic. ... sc&start=0

I won't go into further detail, it's all there. Seems to be getting ugly so maybe MA wants to keep a neutral stance on this I guess?! It's likely to be the case. Anyway, from I what I could get the material present in that compilation that I don't have on CD are basically the demos and a few other tracks, nothing particularly impressive because the demos sound like arse to be honest, so I don't feel like I need to get this disc for three of four compilation songs.

Taken from Rob's (BAF label owner);



The CD is no longer available, so it looks like he's going with the destroy option rather than have an unofficial release on his label. Sounds like a cunt move from Steve and I'm glad I grabbed mine early.

Ordered the re-issue package of Voivod's Noise years from pledgemusic. Rrröööaaarrr, Killing Technology, and Dimension Hatröss -> all remastered, all with a bonus CD/DVD. I would order the LPs as well, but thankfully, I am poor.

Purchases made in this year so far. All CDs.

Immolation - Atonement
Death Like Mass - Kręte drogi (EP)
Death Like Mass - Jak Zabija Diabeł (EP)
Qrixkuor - Three Devils Dance (EP)
Lantern - II: Morphosis

Ordered:
Azarath - In Extremis

Hey dude, I wanted you to know I REALLY liked X-bomber! It had a lot more keys/synths/soundscapey stuff than I expected but it was blended PERFECTLY with the rocking elements. Even a bit of speed metal in there. I'm so smitten with this band. I've been playing the shit out of Asian Volcano and Warning from Stardust lately. Asian Volcano has some of their best stuff I think. "Baby Don't Cry" is fucking PHENOMENAL.

I'll have to check out Charge! I was hoping, based on the name and time, that it would be pretty heavy/fast.

It's also gone at Discogs, so that escalated quickly... Shame to hear about it.

HOW AWESOME

how did you get those cds? I heard that they were pretty rare, expecially the Ire one

They were reissued on vinyl as well? I thought they were just doing CD's.

I pre-ordered the new My Silent Wake experimental album. They're a band that doesn't seem capable of doing any wrong so I have high hopes for it.

The Ire cd is definitely pretty scarce, but a few copies have sprung up on discogs more recently. The other two are getting harder to find but neither cost me more than £5. I bought a copy of ACME years ago but fuck knows where that one is now.

Klaus Schulze - La Vie Electronique vol 9

Picked up Eden's s/t, Black Sabbath's The Eternal Idol, and Tomb Mold's Primordial Malignity.

Eden was a short lived continuation of August Redmoon that lasted just long enough under that name to release a great self-titled album (better than the better known "Fools Are Never Alone" EP under the August Redmoon name, anyways) that fills the USPM mood pretty dang well.

Sabbath doesn't really need to be described. We know who they are.

Tomb Mold are a Canadian duo that write some of the best recent death metal that I've had the pleasure of hearing; their debut came out recently on Blood Harvest Records and is totally stellar wonky stuff. Lots of weird rhythms and melodies.

Korpiklaani - Noita
Stratovarius - Eagleheart (Single, shaped cd)

Noita, altough not as good as Manala, is a fun and enjoyable journey. Stratovarius I bought it more as a collectors item than to be played since it can only be played in systems where the cd is fixed in the middle.

Symphony X - Iconoclast
Overkill - The Grinding Wheel
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane

welcome to the first day of the rest of your life

Archspire - The Lucid Collective (Vinyl)
Aborted - Goremageddon (Cd)
Aborted - The Archaic Abbatoir (Cd)
Impaled - The Dead Still Dead Remain (Cd)
Deicide - The Roadrunner Collection 1990-2001 (Cd)
Cynic - Uroboric Forms The Complete Demo Recordings (Cd)
Panzerfaust - The Dark Age of Militant Paganism (Cd)

Found these today in the used section of a local record store. All first presses and in really decent shape.

It's been... a while. My "New Crap Ultimate" playlist was growing a little slim, so I picked up the following:

Acrassicauda: Only the Dead See the End of War
Paradise Lost: Paradise Lost
Chthonic: Bu-Tik
Kreator: Gods of Violence
Frosttide: Blood Oath (MP3 only)


Curiously, when I bought the new Kreator, Amazon let me download it, and it included a second disk with a live performance from Wacken. The actual physical album did not include the second disk.
