NICE! The label that put out the Khemmis cassette also released my album on cassette. I'm hoping we can get some copies of it in the DDR distro.

Nails - You Will Never Be One of Us .

The album that launched 1000 memes. Also, probably the broest grind I've ever heard.

Over the past 2 weeks :
Castle - In Witch Order (CD)
Fen - Winter (CD)
Graveland - Following the Voice of Blood & Immortal Pride (Wooden box, Remastered CDs)
Nagelfar - Als die Tore sich öffnen & Jagd (2CD)
Nagelfar - Srontgorrth (2CD)
Nagelfar - Virus West (CD)
Nagelfar - Alte Welten (2CD)

HammerFall - Legacy of Kings
Opeth - Orchid

My Opeth collection is nearing completion.

Clandestine Blaze - City of Slaughter
Bestial Warlust - Vengeance War till Death
Nightbringer - Apocalypse Sun

God damn dude. It surprised me in a few ways. It's a lot more nimble than I expected. The cover art rules but it had me imagining a much more stiff, heavy, lumbering sound. It's jaunty in ways Di'anno Maiden could pull off. I was kind of taken aback how much I loved it. The last track feels a little more special than the rest, somehow. Complex, muscular, confident. It's shot up the list of my personal favorite records and unless there's some sort of staying-power issue I expect it to stay there. I'm looking forward to checking out the next one.

Judas Priest-Hell Bent for Leather on CD. Amazon's got some really cheap CDs sometimes, this was $3.99. I'm just filling in gaps in my collection for various bands now.

Theocracy - Ghost Ship
Rhapsody of Fire - The Frozen Tears of Angels

I hate buying digital but I got a free iTunes gift card at work. Good excuse to buy some obscure thrash:

Denial - Antichrist President
Eviction - The World is Hours Away
Flames - Last Prophecy
Indestroy - Indestroy
Invocator - Excursion Demise

That Eviction album is fucking tight. I love the NYHC sound it has.

It's the only one of those I've gone through so far and it definitely has some very cool songwriting. Feels a bit lengthy and unfocused at times, but there are some great moments on it. Pretty happy with it so far.

I didn't care for it too much at first. I actually sold it a long time ago and then rebought it last year. I think I just got way more into Leeway and Cro-Mags so I started digging Eviction more.

Some new stuff this week:


Rhinocervs - RH07
Maléfices - Asarlai
Ride For Revenge / Sons and Daughters of Satan - Split


Sorcier Des Glaces - Ritual Of The End
Sorcier Des Glaces - North
Entsetzlich / Megalith Grave - Split (7'' Ep)


Reidh - Children of Northern Sun
Virulent Specter - You Will Succumb to the Hate
Vrasësinerëzve - Demo III
Funerary Temple - Lerderderg
Zépülkr - Héritrage Posthume


Rhinocervs - Odour of Dust & Rot

Dark Moor - Autumnal
Galloglass - Heavenseeker (Limited Edition CD/DVD)
Iron Fire - Revenge
Rhapsody of Fire - Triumph or Agony

I can't even explain how happy I am with this haul. I've wanted all of those albums for a while now and got all of them at once.

I sold some movies I never watch to the local indie record store and was able to buy myself Gire's s/t album with the store credit.



It's pretty zany avant-garde black metal. It's been on my wantlist for a little while so it was fun to finally grab it. I've listened to it once through and really dig it.

Got a decent little bonus check from work and I've been on a bit of a tear. Some of these I'm ridiculously excited about:

Full Moon - s/t LP (Space rockin' nwobhm from the late 80s? Talk about idiosyncratic. I've wanted to hear this album for YEARS. Completely forgot about it once I had the means. Puuuuumped!)

Demon Bitch - Hellfriends LP (C'mon, you knew this was going to happen eventually!)

Manilla Road - Dreams of Eschaton 2LP (Finally! NWN stocked a bunch of goodies from High Roller. You better getchu some!)

Also kind of curious about that. You always seem to get such regular big hauls, forestcorpse, have you ever posted pics of your whole collection?

Ha, yea it's quite big now
Maybe I will take some photos of the shelves and post them in the collection thread!

Evil Dead - Annihilation of civilization
Sacriphyx - The western front
Bathory - Under the sign of the black mark
Demontage - The principal extintion

I've been waiting to catch this for a decent price, with the OBI, poster, and inserts included. Finally snagged it from a US seller on discogs. I don't honestly even know what it's called (X-Bomber I guess?), or what the music is like, but the cover art is amazing and Bow Wow have put out a few insanely stellar records. They've also put out some clunkers. We'll see! If nothing else it's a killer fucking showpiece. (After doing 30 seconds of reading on the MA page I now know this is gonna play like the soundtrack to a tv show and probably won't be very heavy at all.)

More new CDs hit the doormat recently...

Prophecy Of Doom - Matrix (Metal Core)
Perisynti - Hiilenmusta Lammas (Northern Silence, Digipak, Ltd & Handnumbered to 100)
Drephjard - Sorgsvart (Northern Silence, Digipak, Ltd & Handnumbered to 100)
Clandestine Blaze - City Of Slaughter (Northern Heritage)
Sentient Horror - Ungodly Forms (Testimony Recs)
Anal Cunt - It Just Gets Worse (Earache)
Anal Cunt - Everyone Should Be Killed (Earache)

Funny, I was just pitching in for Sentient Horror in the death metal thread.

saving money is hard.

metallica, kill 'em all LP

is posting non-metal purchases kosher?
my bloody valentine, loveless (shields remaster) CD
my bloody valentine, isn't anything (shields remaster) CD
my bloody valentine, EPs 88-91 CD

Haha, it's great isn't it? Came across them completely by accident and found myself buying it after hearing around half of one track on Spotify. Top Swedeath done right!

Great score!
As a huge Bow Wow fan, a few years ago, before i knew about Discogs, i was searching for this album for quite some time as well. It took me some months before a copy of it showed up on Ebay.com, but i got it and never regretted it (it was in like-new condition and also complete with poster and Obi). I think i paid about 50 bucks, including expensive overseas shipping, but according to the rarity of the item (and Popsike...) the price i paid still seemed ok.
Only two of the songs here have lyrics, all the other are instrumentals, but the album as a whole is really enjoyable

I have a friend who's always sending me new Bandcamp links, saying "listen to this and that". For once he struck gold, ha ha! Really great stuff indeed.

Some recent buys:

Tapes:
Substratum - 2017 Demo

7 inches:
Dio - The Dio EP
Iniquity - Demo 2016
The Lamp of Thoth/Kill for Satan - Doom-Plague-Death

LPs:
Alestorm - No Grave but the Sea
Solstice - Lamentations
Solstice - New Dark Age
The Gates of Slumber - The Awakening
The Gates of Slumber - Suffer No Guilt
The Thing - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

I'm stoked to have those two TGoS albums, they're the last full lengths I needed.

That is really good to hear! I ordered it without doing any research. Didn't catch until afterwards that the songs are all instrumentals, and they look so short I just assumed they don't "do" much. Hopefully it'll get some spins! They are a great band at their peak but it seems like they also put out some real crap so I've been treading lightly. Signal Fire, Asian Volcano, and Warning From Stardust all rule. I like some of their big cheesy 80s metal too as Vow Wow. I'm curious about Charge and the debut these days.

Just came home to this fucking beast of an album, this beauty of a release, this... Oh fuck it, I'M REALLY FUCKING HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!

Sweet album, Andro!
