Death to Digi's!!!! I'm about 800 discs in on making my trade list (on the D's now) and I'm disgusted by how many digipaks I own.

Thank you

Dream Theater - The Astonishing

Still deciding if it was worth it.

Not exactly bought but recovered from a total loss:



Sent by Infinitus himself










Overplayed The Bleeding 1st press

Pre-ordered "Graveland/Nokturnal Mortum - The Spirit Never Dies", the first 144 copies come in a wooden box. But I guess I was just too late for those.

Been dumpster-diving have we?

I have this version of that Queen tape

http://www.discogs.com/Queen-A-Kind-Of-Magic/release/5866707

I've got two original tapes left Mr Bungle s/t with the first track listed as "Travolta" and Body Count s/t with "Cop Killer". They're both missing parts of the inserts though


Oh yeah, RP: Brujeria - Matando Güeros. Original censored version, which basically means the booklet has to be turned around to display the proper cover. Certainly a better way of doing it than those ridiculous old Cannibal Corpse albums with no lyrics and the original artwork nowhere to be seen

First 2 pics are from discogs. The last 3 are from a record store.


2nd press on red vinyl




Combat Records


All 1st pressings

Acid King: Middle Of Nowhere, Center Of Everywhere 2xLP

VI - De Praestigiis Angelorum vinyl
Temple of Baal - Mysterium cd
Horrocious - Obscure Dominance of Nothingness demo tape (black metal band from Turkey)

Past Lives & Master of Reality "Deluxe Expanded Edition"

Also got the new Rotting Christ in the mail. SOM threw in a free 'Order of the Ebon Hand' cd. Picked up a used copy of Ozzmosis.

Dark Angel - Darkness Descends
Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence
Forbidden - Twisted into Form, Such a great thrash record. Finally got this on physical copy.
Kypck - Черно
Opium Warlords - Taste My Sword of Understanding, Weird but good stuff from the mighty Sami of Reverend Bizarre.
Orne - The Conjuration by the Fire, Pretty cool laid back prog stuff. I can dig it, man.
Sonne Adam - Transformation, Finally got the CD of this great pitch dark death/doom masterpiece.
Type O Negative - World Coming Down, Cassette of this! Now I have the CD, Promo CD, LP and Cassette of this masterpiece of misery and depression and darkness. My favorite record of all time.



Blasphemy - Fallen Angel of Doom...., The white. Pretty good pressing of this and matches the big white poster flag I have of this album. Rad.
Entrails - Resurrected from the Grave (Demo Collection), Pretty cool record overall. Really dig the dark sludgy guitar tone.
Joy Division - Closer
Magic Circle - Journey Blind, Best doom band since Reverend Bizarre by far. Really good, this album is a bit of a grower, but on repeated listens it starts to reveal its subtle brilliance. Just need to order the CD of the debut and I'm set for Magic Circle, other than a tshirt.
Nine Inch Nails - Hesitation Marks, Been a fan of NIN for ages, but finally decided to pick this up. Heard some songs, "Copy of A" is a good song with good lyrics.

And a Demolition Hammer - Epidemic of Violence tshirt. Love the color combinations of bright blood red and minimalist whites/greys/blacks. The logo pops off the tshirt because of that.

Nice on the Epidemic of Violence CD and shirt. I've been meaning to get a shirt, too.

That Kypck album is badass, as well. Nice scores in there.

once i didnt mind digipaks but the amount of people making them is out of hand

LP But thank you. I've had the CD for a long while. It's definitely a top 5 thrash album for me. Nothing as violent and bone crunching. That shirt is the best Demolition Hammer shirt I've seen too, Warlord Clothing has it in case you wanted to check it out.

And yes the Kypck album is solid stuff. Got it cheap from CMDistro, first time I ordered from there in ages.

I don't really mind the ones with plastic trays, but those fuckin slipcase ones like Metal Blade have been doing way too many of really need to fuck off and die. CDs are not vinyl LPs, cardboard sleeves scratch the shit out of them after a while.

Oops, yes, LP. Sorry. I do know about Warlord Clothing and actually have a sticky note on my computer to get a Demolition Hammer shirt from there (plus they sell Rotten Sound shirts which also interest me), but of course money is the real issue, haha.

Nice, man. I want to get other Kypck albums in the near future.

Got a Moonsorrow Kivenkantaja CD yet to come from our good friend zoverstocks.

Also, not an album, but something which will play them instead :

A Phillips mono radio/cassette player from the 90s. Now I can get rarities one wouldn't find in CD form (took me long enough). It was sooty as all hell when I brought it down from the attic, and I would have loved for the player to have stayed that way (looks metal), but ehhh health reasons...

Just ordered:

Black Fast - Terms of Surrender

Really excited to get this before I see them next month!

One of the better albums of 2015

Hate Eternal - Infernus
Fleshgod Apocalypse - King

Took a drive to Sydney to the only decent metal store nearby. They didn't have Chthe'ilist, no surprise, but these two are good enough.

Cassette

In 'N' Out (FRA) - Repeat if Necessary...(????)

House Of Wax (FRA) - Wax Strikes Back (And Each Attack Shocks) 1990

Lightning Sword (FRA) - Call of the Mermaid (1994)

Alestorm - Back Through Time
Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, In Ignem Aeternum
In Flames - Colony
Korpiklaani - Tales Along This Road
Slayer - South Of Heaven

I'm really surprised I missed out on this one last year. I'm usually pretty on top of new thrash releases, but I hadn't even heard of these guys until they were announced for the Vektor/Voivod tour. Maybe it's the generic name that led to me missing them.



Nice find on that Eviction record. I'd love for that to get reissued on CD.
