Very great hauls mate!!!

And, seconded, that Bolt Thrower shirt

This fortnight I have so far:

Scar Symmetry - The Singularity (Phase 1 - Neohumanity) - Not bad, gets better each listen
Fallujah - The Flesh Prevails - Brilliant. Album of the Year so far
Enslaved - Isa - Had to have it
On order:

Resurgency - False Enlightenment
Daemon Foetal Harvest - Got a CD/Shirt combo. Artwork will turn a few heads haha
Face Down - The Twisted Rule the Wicked
Sanctuary - The Year the Sun Died
Revocation - Deathless

Hamferð - Vilst er Síðsta Fet

Took me a while to find this in brick-and-mortar stores, and I had to order Evst with a month-long delivery time. But holy fuck, is this the best debut EP EVER?!? Yes, yes, it might well be.

This is a thread to share the latest purchases. It's about content, not the bubblegum wrapping. Sometimes I feel like I'm at a Justin Bieber forum. It's all about the swag. So much hypocrisy.

Also, as previously mentioned, some releases are only available at places like Bandcamp.




Clearly not true, and see my former response.

Megadeth, get with the program

Got these from a Discogs seller in Germany, I paid a little more than I should have but who cares, it's only money
I have so many parcels on the way to me, I should probably hold off till after xmas... or at least the end of October

Machetazo - Sinfonías Del Terror Ciego [US, whoah! this rules, good artwork too, I have almost every album on CD now]
Marduk - Nightwing [FRA, original, needs another listen]
Mortification - Scrolls Of The Megilloth [GER, original! has the Nuclear disc logo, I've wanted this for many years indeed]

Pick of the litter: Machetazo

Metal Church - Blessing in Disguise
Paradise Lost - Faith Divides Us - Death Unites Us
The Ruins of Beverast - Rain upon the Impure
End of Green - Infinity
Runemagick - The Supreme Force of Eternity

Colin, can you feel the plastic? can you smell the paper? can you taste the metal?!

Nah... I haven't received these yet.

The End of Green album is a blind purchase because I couldn't find a download link that actually worked...from the three songs that I've heard or so one sounded absolutely killer so I hope the rest won't let me down.

Come on now, you don't get to ostracise someone because you don't think the same way he does. it reflects poorly on you. Megadeth's post were digital purchases and that's ok. Maybe you think it's lame and stuff but I think having 5 copies of the same album is lame, to each his own.

Got these two tapes at my local goodwill.

Are you guys going to post your pick of the litter? I like to see what you favourite from the bunch is

Arrived: Parakletos - Offerlammets Makt

I've wanted this album ever since I got into symphonic black metal. I finally have a copy.

Also purchased: xDeathstarx - We Are The Threat

A bit disappointing compared to xLooking Forwardx.

Grabbed this today:

Blood Revolt - Indoctrine LP
Witchrist - Beheaded Ouroboros LP

[...whimps and posers leave the hall...]
Manowar

Meshuggah - The Ophidian Trek Bluray+2xCD Digipak
Meshuggah - I CD Digipak

Picking up my score a day earlier than usual this week(Festival trip tomorrow):


Zaum - Oracles (Canadian Stoner/Doom metal, samples sounded cool so I went for it)


Decrepitude - Demo I (15/33)
Decrepitude - Demo II (15/33)
Mons Veneris / Forbidden Citadel of Spirits - Grim Moonlight upon Transylvania
Vetala / Desgranges - Split
These have all been highly wanted for me, finally!

Some more that came in the mail:



- Therion - Symphony Masses: Ho Drakon Ho Megas [Megarock 1993]
- Dismember - Death Metal [Nuclear Blast 1997]
- Sinister - Diabolical Summoning [Nuclear Blast 1993]
- Asphyx - Embrace The Death [Century Media 1996]

Nice! you'd be pretty stoked with that lot no doubt

Forestcorpse - Zaum - Oracles cool cover art on that

Haim - Days Are Gone
Holy Terror - Terror and Submission/Mind Wars
King Crimson - In the Court of the Crimson King
Rigor Mortis - Slaves to the Grave

I decided to go through with my idea of buying the Holy Terror 2CD just for the first album, and I'll try and find an original Mind Wars and swap it with this one with the audio glitch. It was only $6 used, so eh why not?

^ nice plaid mate

Thanks haha, I'm actually not the biggest fan of plaid patterns, but it's a nice and heavy blanket so it keeps me warm when I need it

Oh, and I just discovered another problem with the Mind Wars CD on this thing. They split A Fool's Gold/Terminal Humor/Mind Wars into three separate tracks! Why?? They were all one song on the original, so what warranted splitting them apart? Unacceptable.

Terror and Submission sounds just fine to me however. I couldn't really notice anything wrong with it aside from the fact that the track listing is different from the original vinyl, but that doesn't bother me, despite how nitpick-y of a person I am haha.

One last thing: Rigor Mortis' new album? FUCKING. BRILLIANT. Like holy crap, the first 5 songs on this thing are beyond amazing. These guys haven't lost their touch in the slightest. I really wish I could've donated to their Indiegogo page so I could have my name in the album notes. They deserve every penny they got for this thing, and then some.

Sanctuary-The Year The Sun Dies (LP+CD)

Exodus-Blood In Blood Out (CD)
Motörhead-Motörizer
Gamma Ray-To The Metal (CD)
Savatage-Hall Of The Mountain King (CD)

Lengsel - Solace

An absolute classic that I should've bought long ago.

Fejd - Eld

Pretty nice folk EP. I'm enjoying it a lot.

The only album titled Eld you'll ever need is by Enslaved.

KING CRIMSON - USA 40th anniversary edition

And I just read that Beat is finally getting its 40th anniversary edition next year. Hope they do Three Of A Perfect Pair shortly after.

How is this one? I've sort of had my eye on it, and it got a really good review from somebody on MA.

Pantera showing off my latest purchases:

Saturnian - Dimensions (Sounds a bit like Dimmu Borgir but better)
1349 - Massive Cauldron of Chaos (Digipak)

Does somebody know which press this is? Can't find it on discogs. Could it be a variant of the first press? It was new.

You mean a repress?
If it's not there add it

Yeah, but it is apart from some codes on the cd itself exactly the same as the original and repress. It also doesnt have a year on it.

maybe its a variant? Maybe a second repress? I dont know

I have a name!

Went to a local metal shop when I was in Trondheim this weekend, bought two lps:


Leviathan - The Blind Wound
Absurd - Blutgericht
