I asked "deejaymbass" from youtube a.k.a Matt Bass, for some recommendations of some death/black/thrash metal and he sent me a big list of ones he recommended to start with.

The first DM album I ever bought was Nile's Those Whom the Gods Detest. I hated it. :lol:

Also, my copy of Disfiguring the Goddess's Sleeper arrived in the mail yesterday. It's pretty amazing. :)

My first Death Metal album was Possessed "Beyond the Gates", the gatefold 12", about the time it came out. It was followed by Autopsy "Severed Survival" or Morgoth "Resurrection Absurd", can't recall having passed more than 20 years.

Back on topic, recently ordered and waiting for: (mainly filling discography holes)

Grand Magus - "Hammer of the North"
Esoteric - "The Maniacal Vale"
Darkspace - "Dark Space III" (the regular edition as I'm not rich)
Immortal - "At the Heart of Winter"

Marillion - Seasons End (Wanted the 2 disc version, but it's impossible to find for a decent price)


It doesn't exist anymore; Marillion themselves don't even have it (they do have the one disc version). EMI took it out of print. I'm not sure what you consider a "reasonable price", but I got mine for around $28 via Amazon marketplace last year. Also, if you're not format specific, Amazon has the 2 disc version available digitally.

At any rate...

METAL:

Nightfire-Penumbra (CD; I got this when my band played with them over the weekend. Outstanding live band)

NON-METAL:

The Brian Jonestown Massavre-Aufbehen

My first death metal album was God Dethroned's The Grand Grimoire, and it kills even to this day as for my recent purchases:

Accept-Metal Heart
Cathedral-Soul Sacrifice (1st pressing)
Rajam-Burning Antarctica

I'd kill for that Ophidian Wheel copy. Last time I checked it went for like 60 bucks used. How much did you pay for it, if you don't mind my asking?

EDIT: Nevermind, missed your answer.

Do most of you guys purchase albums still ? for me there's no need to.

GrooveShark / YouTube etc is basically all I need.

I've been sampling song after song lately. just listened to a song by Iron Monkey, before that a couple by Corrosion of Conformity.

Exactly. I still love having a tangible product in exchange for my money. The artwork and lyrics are suppossed to accompany the music. It's a package deal.

This arrived in the mail today. Peste Noire's new demo box. The sound quality is significantly better compared to Mors Orbis Terrarum on some songs.

Sorry for the flash, it's a bit dark here.

I only buy physical releases. Never bought or downloaded an mp3 in my life. mp3s seem to be great if you want to cherry pick, but I like to listen to an entire album, and I love to have the physical copy of the album. I'll use youtube occasionally to check something out, but most of the time if I develop an interest in a band/album (via the archives, reviews, word-of-mouth, etc), I'll just buy it. You pick up a dud sometimes, but that's ok. Oftentimes you'll find a hidden, previously unknown (to you) gem, and that's an incredible feeling. And I'm not rich by any stretch. But music is perhaps the most important and significant of the things I would classify as "others" or "luxury purchases" and is something that I greatly enjoy and appreciate, so I'm not afraid to pay money for it.

I find that sound quality on YouTube varies from mediocre to terrible. I don't understand how anyone could use that as music source other than for discovering new bands.

And as somebody else already pointed out, an album tends to be more than just a collection of sound files.

Agreed. Get both reissues. There's so much material, and it's all good. The "Storm of the Light's Bane" one has an alternative mix of the album, too, as well as other bonus stuff. Perfect if you are a Dissection junkie.

Yeah the early stuff is great and well worth checking out.

I'm not sure about that a alternative mix. My ears must be getting fucked maybe.

That Ketzer artwork is great! You can never go wrong with sword-wielding unchained goat demons. Fucking awesome.

Got this box too:

The sound quality is much better than expected from demo recordings. I've heard most of them before, but obviously they sounded worse considering they were low quality rips from the internet. Really didn't regret the purchase!
Also received Saint Vitus - Lillie: F-65 the same day.


I just ordered the selftitled and "Schatten des Gewitters" by Irrlycht. Just stumbled upon the band, but loved at first listen.



The Ketzer LP is killer by the way. I own the CD but the artwork in full size must look even better!

Damn, the only decent physical store from my area has knowlegeable stuff.

Went there looking for some cheap 2nd hand stuff and came with Testament "The Legacy" and Desaster "Angelwhore", 5€ each, not exactly a steal. But they also have the Emperor/Enslaved split, Kvist and Decayed "Conjuration of the Southern Circle", all first presses, for 20€ each.

I purchased a copy of Autumn Aurora by Drudkh in December 2011, first issue from 2004 as well! Weird thing is I bought it new and I was expecting the re-release by Season of Mist from 2009. Hell, was I surprised when I opened the parcel to find this! There certainly aren't many copies of it around these days. You can PM me if you want to know the shop I got it from, but I can't guarantee they still have the old one available.
