Yeah, but if you take the booklet out you have to rotate it 90 degrees to your left to open it horizontally. That's probably the reason why the artwork got flipped in the reissues.

PS: Great scores indeed!

Funny you mentioned that, cause I didn't know that! just opened it and indeed, the booklet opens up in a different way then normal...

Ha ha, yes it does.

Sadhak - Sadhak
Hexen Hammer - Sentencia
Tarot - Life and Death


Arkham Witch - On Crom's Mountain
Arkham Witch - Legions of the Deep


Emperor - As the Shadows Rise (Lp + Cd)
Falls of Rauros / Panopticon - Split (Coloured Lp)


The Wounded Kings - Consolamentum
Satan's Satyrs - Black Souls (7'' Ep)

Nokturnal Mortum - Return of the Vampire Lord / Marble Moon | Nokturnal Mortum - Goat Horns
Russkiy Styag - Vremya geroev | Sivyj Yar - Navsterchu sumerkam
Agatus - Dawn of Martyrdom | Zemial - Nykta

Great score as usual! Tarot sounds awesome, thanks for the discovery. What did you think of Sadhak? The band sent me that tape and I really liked it.

Languedoc - Llegó la Hora.

It's finally out, and of course I got a copy. Very happy to have this at last, I've been looking forward to it since they entered the studio.

Got these yesterday:

Carnifex-Die Without Hope
Grave-Back From the Grave

Anthrax - State of Euphoria
Black Sabbath - Dehumanizer
Dream Theater - Images and Words
Edguy - Space Police - Defenders of the Crown
Flotsam & Jetsam - When The Storm Comes Down
Judas Priest - Sin After Sin
Sarcofago - Rotting

Massacre-Back From Beyond!!

I am not familiar with that band, Tarot... I kept looking at the cover and thinking it said "Tardt"!

Got those two Elvis Costello records ('Armed Forces' and 'Get Happy') in the last few days, which I'm very happy about. Make fun of my tastes if you want but the guy has made some truly great albums.

Skyclad - Irrational Anthems
Skyclad - The Answer Machine?
Candlemass - Dactylis Glomerata
Sodom - Better off Dead
Noxa - Grind Viruses
Sinisthra - Last of the Stories of Long Past Glories

Had some other nice stuff in again. always nice these postal mondays haha

Nice Vader tapes, especially the Morbid Reich demo. That thing fucking kills!

thnx a lot. im also extremely happy to find one in such a great condition.

Finally Got My Hands On These

Nocturnus - The Key
Sepultura - Schizophrenia

Toxic Holocaust An Overdose of Death repress on splattered blah vinyl
I'm probably the last person on earth to own this record, but I've listened to it pretty often since it came out. I know Hell on Earth is more widely lauded on here, but this is still my favorite TH album. It's a fun and fast record, and I think it offers something pretty much everyone can like something here. It's not esoteric at all, but who gives a fuck?

Krieg - Isolation/Transmission 7"
This was a late, late pick up from a Record Store Day that didn't give me much to get excited about. This was pretty much the only thing that I was interested in picking up, so I guess I got everything I wanted? Anyway, Krieg is more or less my favorite USBM, and this is some more of that. "Isolation" is a really strong track, and I spun it at least a few times.

Cauldron - Moonlight Desires 7"
The title track was so, so unexpected. I hadn't heard the original before, so I was like "holy shit this is so poppy," but liked it. It got stuck in my head for literally two days. There's a Bathory cover on the b-side too--I wonder how many bands have covered "Sacrifice"? Anyway, this is a good 7" THE END.

I have an interesting group of albums coming in soon

Death - Symbolic
Taake - Nattesid
Esoteric - Maniacal Vale
Protest The Hero - Volition
Borknagar - Empiricism
Borknagar - Olden Domain
Dimmu Borgir - Entrhone Darkness Triumphant
Thine Eyes Bleed - in the wake of seperation
Impaled Nazarene - Pro Patria Finlandia
Finntroll - Ur Jordens Djup
Tidfall - Nucleus
Keep Of Kalessin - Kolossus

The last 8 were for 20 bucks from GoHastings! Great deaL!

I am glad you liked Tarot, quite nice stuff. They have something more coming soon, so keep your eyes open!
Sadhak is great, really like the vocals. Small Warning/40 watt sun feeling.

Interesting, I haven't had any updates for this thread
And you guys are running rampant, some epic scores in here!

Got some good stuff in last week, took a while to add and update as per usual, worth the effort though

Carpathian Forest - Morbid Fascination Of Death [ITA, original]
Defiled - Divination [FRA, finally I have the full version, I've had the promo for ages]
Deranged - Deranged [FRA, not bad, they have better, it has some interesting un-metal stuff on this album]
Diabolic - Chaos In Hell / Possessed By Death [US, 2 EPs released on one disc, I have almost every album now]
Grave Upheaval - Untitled [US, probably the most suffocating black death Disembowelment worship metal I've ever heard, this is excellent and dark as it gets]
Hate - Awakening Of The Liar [US, original, wicked album, I'm not too fond of their newer stuff though, maybe in small doses]
Katechon - Man God Giant [US, cool stuff, I've wanted this for a few months]
Necroholocaust / Deiphago - Gods Of Holocaust [THAI, ltd ed and numbered, nasty double EP reissue, some live stuff and covers too]
Portal - Seepia [FRA, ODP remastered reissue, finally I have a copy, still want an original though...]
Tyrants Blood - Prophecy [IRE, killer! I have every Tyrants Blood album now]
Vassafor - Vassafor [AUS, I have 2 copies of this excellent 'EP' now]

Just ordered :
Behemoth - The Satanist
Woods of Ypres - W4: The Green Album

I bought Demilich's 20th Adversary of Emptiness on a whim, not having heard a single not from it before. Considering all the rave reviews of the album I have to admit I was quite dissapointed after the first listen. I just didn't get it.

However last night I gave it another spin using headphones while playing some Dota 2 and daaaaamn did the penny drop for me. The album is so good that I actually just ordered another copy (since mine that came directly from Svart Records was a bit beat up).

I also ordered the reissue of Dawn - Nær Solen Gar Niþer For Evogher as well as Dawn - The Eternal Forest - Demo Years 91-93 -.

Yesterday I also ordered Acid Witch - Stoned on cd and Acid Witch/Nunslaughter - Spooky on 7" from Hells Headbangers.

Recently I also ordered Vallenfyre - The Fragile King (digipak), Vasaeleth - All Uproarious Darkness and the 3 cd reissue of Death's Leprosy.

Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation
Impetuous Ritual - Unholy Congregation of Hypocritical Ambivalence

Artificial Brain - Labyrinth Constellation
Nice cover art

DAT... FORMER...


Let me guess, the spine was bent because the package compressed it?!

Gorguts - Colored Sands [finally a jewel case version!] from a Discogs seller in Portugal, I now have every Gorguts album.
Ufomammut - Lucifer Songs [ITA, CD+DVD, white artwork version] from a Discogs seller here in NZ, new to Discogs, slightly different artwork and matrix

bvdub - The First Day
bvdub - Serenity
bvdub & Loscil - Erebus
Bolt Thrower - ...for Victory
Bolt Thrower - Honour - Valour - Pride
Bolt Thrower - Those Once Loyal
Dark Buddha Rising - Dakhmandal (A boring band to see live but the music works really well at home.)
Iron Hearse - Deal with It (Pre-ordered it, so I got a signed copy. The artwork is so boring the signatures actually improve it, ha!)
Manilla Road - Crystal Logic (2CD 30th Anniversary edition. The bonus tracks really are for die hards only. But it was awesome to hear "Crystal Logic (Live 2011)" recorded at Hammer of Doom festival, because I was there singing along with an incredible and ecstatic audience. The entire set should be released as a live album.)
Saint Vitus - C.O.D. (Season of Mist's reissue)

Sleep Research Facility - Nostromo
The Skull - Sometime Yesterday Mourning c/w The Last Judgment

I thought it'd be the other way around. The album bored me to tears, but I had imagined they'd be crushing to see live.

The mailman showed up out of nowhere today and gifted me all of these. I'm still ripping them right now, but I got really excited and I figured I might as well post them here while I'm waiting.

Mahatma - Time Is
Gargoyle - Natural
Versailles - Jubilee -Method of Inheritance-
MinstreliX - Chronostrings
Onmyo-za - 夢幻泡影

Nice! Those MinstreliX and Mahatma CDs are really good. That Onmyo-Za CD is my 3rd favorite of theirs (right behind Kishi Bojin and Koujin Rasetsu, respectively).

My order arrived as well, and I'll post a pic later (gotta rip everything to FLAC and put 'em into plastic sleeves first. No OCD here! )

Enslaved - Ruun
Benediction - The Dreams You Dread
Carnal Forge - Please... Die!

Woods of Desolation - As the Stars purple LP
Finally arrived. Perfect music for the absolute dogshit weather inundating Minnesota for the last week or so--bleak and grey and lonely. I've often wondered if it makes me a stupid asshole if I like this band and don't like Deafheaven. Something about this just seems more, I don't know, genuine? Authentic? Something like that, I don't know. Either way, I can see this getting a LOT of spins in the future.
