Yeah suburbia hell! That's exactly where I'm buying my new house. It's got a giant basement wherein I'll be able to put up some sweet ass sweet audio equipment and hopefully get a record player! Plus tons of shelves for my ever growing music collection.

I want friends like that too! The sheer price of that Gutted CD and that Excruciate split tape... I mean...

Wicked, standby for some communications from downunder and off to the right a bit

A man cave! UUOOOAAAUUGH!

Anyway, I need to drag my arse off to the post office to pick up some sweet metal stuff...

Just got these in

Bölzer - Soma

Picked this up at Chicago Metal Market today. Almost got the the first Cianide album on vinyl as well, but that was like $50..



I'll definitely see what I can do!

Been slowing down a bit over the last couple of months as other things take priority...

Accept - Balls to the Wall (LP)
Accept - Restless & Wild (LP)
Archgoat - The Apocalyptic Triumphator
Atrophy - Violent by Nature (1st press I believe)
Black Sabbath - Mob Rules
Grave Digger - Heart of Darkness (reissue)
Heaven and Hell - The Devil You Know
Mefisto - The Megalomania Puzzle
Melechesh - Emissaries
Messiah - Extreme Cold Weather (reissue)
Queensrÿche - Queensrÿche (tape)
Rush - Signals (tape)
Summoning - Lost Tales (tape boxset)
Thanatos - Emerging from the Netherworlds (reissue)

Waiting on a couple of pre-orders too.

Minor mailorder haulage purchased on a whim:

Neil Young - American Stars'n'Bars
Neil Young - Live Rust (looks to be an original pressing, or at least a very old one)
Neurosis - Through Silver In Blood

Mail day!



Dream Theater - Images and Words
Zargof - Departure For the Cosmic Twilight
The Living Fields - Running Out of Daylight
Sothis - De Opresso Liber

This is my second time owning Zargof and Sothis, as recently I went to pull them off the shelf for a spin and realized they were gone.

a so great acquired Dread

*cough* ah yeah, I actually got NINETEEN of them in ha ha

I assume that's some sort of glitter on the disc surface ? You don't see that so often...

These arrived today:

Octaviagrace - Resonant Cinema [MCD]
Zig+Zag - 胎内廻帰 ～ゴー!ゴー!ラズーパラドックス～

The Loszeal, Octaviagrace, and Ghost Cries are 3 of my most anticipated albums this year (well, until next week), so I'm quite eager to hear them.

Received this one in the mail today:


Corrupted - Loss 7"

Are you Bolzer's exclusive New Zealand distributor?

QRIXKUOR - Consecration of the Temple



Nasty, cavernous, monstrous death metal. Just the way I like it. I see big things for these guys.

It's purposely done like that. The CD for Aura had something like that on it as well and made a couple folks here question whether it was intentional or that their disc got fucked up hahaha.

I got a dope ass Sabbat shirt that has flecks of glitter all through the black parts. It surprised me and looks awesome.

DEPRAVED MURDER - Remnants of Depravity CDs

nah but I may as well be with this many on hand!
yep what sfn said, the Aura tapes look pretty sweet too but unless I'm mistaken the vinyl doesn't have the star splatters, only the CDs and tapes

lol dread I just ordered that Bolzer

Bölzer - SOMA CD
Malthusian - Below the Hengiform CD
Sepulchral Temple s/t digipack CD

Impulse ordered the following recently:

Ares Kingdom - Incendiary (this one is a repurchase, my first copy was loaned out and never returned)
Cauchemar - La Vierge Noire
Chaos Echœs - Transient
Sabbat - Sabbatical Earlyearslaught (4CD version)

The last ones to arrive here were Carpathian Forest's first two albums.

Got a nice pile of stuff from a dude on Discogs, another parcel is on the way from him now too
The only problem is it all reeks of smoke, it's awful =x

Black Cobra - Bestial [US, original AAL] killer sludge/stoner stuff, I have all their albums now
Black Cobra - Black Cobra [US, EP]
Black Cobra - Chronomega [US, Southern Lord]
Black Cobra - Feather And Stone [US, original AAL, Digipak]
Buzzov-en - ...At A Loss [US, original!] starts off very strong, probably the best track on the album #1 super stoked to finally have more of their stuff in my collection, the artwork is wicked too
Eternal Elysium - Share [US] quality stoner doom from Japan, these guys are excellent
Grand Magus - Grand Magus [UK, original] now this is quite good but it's not the one I heard recently and really liked, it's certainly heavy enough but the vocals aren't to my liking, similar to Spiritual Beggars I suppose. I really want to find the one I heard recently because that was mind numbingly heavy stoner doom!
Nasum - Shift [US] good but not awesome, they were really wicked live
Orange Goblin - Thieving From The House Of God [US, original] surprise Jagermeister logo good but the ZZ Top cover isn't really needed...
Saint Vitus - Die Healing [GER, original!] killer, I finally got this! my favourite SV album
Solace/Greatdayforup - Split [US, EP] 3 songs from each, GDFU isn't bad but Solace are excellent, dude has a really good voice too
Sun Of Nothing - ...And Voices Words Faces Complete The Dream [GRE, Digipak] well that's a bold intro for a metal album - 14 minutes of ambient noise/drone/fuzz, this album is killer and while not unique is an enjoyable listen, I've played it half a dozen times since I got it
Vulgar Pigeons - Burning Episode [US] cool semi transparent disc

That Buzzov*en really is their best work.

found this - very cool only 3$

$3 for a promo is $3 more than it's worth

I have no problem picking up a promo copy for cheap if I'm having trouble finding it otherwise. I've actually been spinning that one a lot lately! I'm glad mine doesn't have that tribal logo on the CD though!

I just don't like paying for them

RP:

Opeth - Still Life (digipak)

and
Re-Animator 30th Anniversary 2-disc Blu Ray - not an album but still worth a mention

So I was at the record store just a while ago, and what do I fucking find? A small handful of copies of the Gorguts - Obscura reissue. I didn't even think my record store would have any copies of that. Now I wish I didn't waste my time pre-ordering it, I could have it in my hands already by now, but I gotta wait for it to arrive in the mail because Shitury Media had that delay in shipping (thankfully my copy was listed as shipped as of Monday, but the fact that I could've just as easily picked up a copy today without waiting really annoys me).

Got these today:



Starless - Story Never Ends
Orden Ogan - Ravenhead [limited edition]
Embrace Selegy - Go Back the Darkness [single]
Embrace Selegy - Awaken the Ring

Please tell me that sticker on the Orden Ogan is removable...

Ouch it's on a Digipak too =/

Could you put any less effort into your post...

I've had a few digipaks with those FSK stickers, they usually just peel right off. I think I did lose a teeny bit of gloss from the Naglfar - Harvest digi but that's probably because it was old stock so the glue had too much time to bond to the surface. If it's a freshly printed copy it's usually fine.

Unrelated but that Starless [?!] album cover is excellent

That's good to know. I'll try to summon up the courage to remove it later.


Yeah, I like that one a lot too. The cover for their first album is pretty nice as well (similar style, despite being 20 years older).

These came in today. Limited to 30 Tapes.
