Nice to your haul as well! I still need to get over to Vinyl Conflict at some point... maybe the next time there's a good Strange Matter show.

More I forgot to post earlier:



Seidr - For Winter Fire
Weakling - Dead as Dreams
Echtra - Paragate
Botanist - I. The Suicide Tree / II. A Rose from the Dead

Where did you find the ALDA tape?

I got it from http://singularitypublishing.blogspot.com/

Just know that the guy who runs it can be slow at responding to emails/shipping orders. He always replied though and the tape arrived in great condition.

Also, according to the band's facebook page, the album will be reissued on CD on Misanthropic Art Productions later this year.

Some assorted stuff yesterday:

Anathema - Alternative 4 (With bonus tracks)
Before The Dawn - Rise Of The Phoenix (With bonus tracks)
Freedom Call - Eternity
Freedom Call - Dimensions
God Dethroned - Under The Sign Of The Iron Cross
Walk The Moon - Walk The Moon

And a shirt from last night's Maiden show, with some Somewhere In Time-era art on the front and back.

Vinyl Conflict is a really cool place, great selection (more in the punk spectrum than metal though) and super friendly staff. The Seidr CD is amazing, quite possibly my favorite doom album ever. Need to get the Weakling album at one point though, been meaning to for a while.

I want to open a place called "The Vinyl Countdown."

ha ha, do it man

I got this tape from Singularity earlier in the year and in my experience the label was slow and did not respond to all of my emails, however, I did eventually receive my order.

Azarath - Blasphemers' Maledicitions
Master's Hammer - Ritual/Jilemnický Okultista/Poster (4LP Box Red Vinyl) Limited to 100 copies worldwide

Azarath - Blasphemers' Maledicitions how does this compare to the other albums? they have a new singer or something from memory.

trudged through the pouring rain today to get this lot:

16 ‎– Bridges To Burn [never heard them but i like sludge metal, i have high hopes, NEW with $20 off nice]

Carcass ‎– Reek Of Putrefaction [double sided hybrid disc, videos and stuff on 1 side and music on t'other, digipak]
Cultus Sanguine ‎– Shadows' Blood [50% off so took a gamble, hopefully it's good, original 1997]
Deceased ‎– Surreal Overdose [not for me]

Mangled ‎– Most Painful Ways [whoah! killer death metal, i like and no surprises that they are dutch]

Neurosis ‎– Through Silver In Blood [interesting stuff [neurosis fans are probably laughing at that] will need a few listens, original 1996]
Promise Of Bloodshed - Hatred Inherit [kiwi thrash death metal from memory [apparently they are metallic hardcore], haven't heard them in a while - not in the MA database or discogs]
Urgrund ‎– The Graven Sign [more catchy as oz black/death, i have 2 of theirs now]
Various ‎– Grind Madness At The BBC The Earache Peel Sessions [uk version, 3 disc ltd edition, featuring the usual suspects...]

I actually did laugh a bit! I can say that in my formative years in metal that album was really hard to understand, it actually took me three years of experimenting it to be able to fully grasp it. Now I sleep with it below my pillow!

and I preordered that Cryptopsy: Cryptopsy i'm convienced it'll be good.

Thanks m8.

Awesome album. There's a Russian guy that's had a few copies on eBay for awhile, but the shipping costs would be absurd.

Traded in a bunch of dust collectors for Wrath of the Weak's alogon, MC's The Book of Kings, and rescued In the Void and the Serpent, the Spirit is One (Pseudogod/Blaze of Perdition split) from the clearance bin.

that's who I bought it from. 15 bucks shipping.

he had it for sale for 20 or best offer, so I offered 10

he took it.

To be quite frank, I haven't heard anything by them before but I was blown away by their excellently dark and menacing atmosphere. And the fact that Inferno from the mighty Behemoth drums on the album and does a damn fine job, too, absorbed me.

Yeah the Seidr cd crushes. It's definitely up there on my list, hopefully the new album will be this good! I enjoy the Weakling as well, but I think it drags a bit towards the end.

The Booby Animal returned riding on her broomstick through the storms of the North Sea from London. She brought me some goodies:

Absu - Abzu digipak
Aura Noir - Hades Rise
Anvil - Monument of Metal compilation

I hope she gets at least up to D in the alphabet when she's abroad in a record store...

Picked up some goodies while in Portland to see AUTOPSY last night

Adversarial - Prophetic Plain of Abyssal Revelation
Midnight - Satanic Royalty
Portal - Outre
Vastum - Carnal Law
Weregoat - Unholy Exaltation of Fullmoon Perversity
Black Breath - Heavy Breathing

From DDR just now:

Altar of Sin - Tales of Carnage First Class CD
Necrovation - Necrovation CD

The Doors - L.A. Woman

I can see this band becoming one of my favorites ever.

Yeah, the upcoming Seidr album is very near the top of my list of most anticipated albums. Also, how's the Echtra CD? I very much enjoy the 2 Fauna albums but I haven't had the chance to look to much into Echtra's work yet.

Went to a local second-hand chain shop and made a wee little haul.

Enforsaken - The Forever Endeavor (For what it's worth, has a sampler disc for Olympic Recordings. Without track names on the disc or in the booklet, hell if I know which band plays what, but...)
Mendeed - The Dead Live By Love
Peshmerga - Murderous Acts Of Cruelty
Seigfreid - Eisenwinter (With bonus track)

All for under seven/eight bucks apiece.

CD's:
Absentia Lunae - In Vmbrarvm Imperii Gloria
Agmen - Damnation
Nazxul - Iconoclast

LP:
Orcustus - Self-titled

Shipping from Russia isn't always crazy. I ordered Will of the Gods is Great Power by Scald a few days ago and shipping was only $3

Sabbat - The Dwelling (2x12", clear vinyl, 111ex)
Sabbat - Live at Blokula (CD, Evil rec., 666ex)

ha ha i just played it, it's interesting, sounds like a pretty cool mix of dead world/skin chamber/godflesh but i should probably play it again when i'm not cooking tea and can concentrate

i like all i've heard of theirs but i'm yet to hear their latest, poland is quite the hot spot for awesome metal

like whoah, happy birthday indeed man, physical cd/lps or downloads?

It's great, the metal parts are a bit more drone-y/less riffy than Fauna, but still similar in terms of the acoustic/ambient sections and the fact that the album is basically one song divided into two parts. At times it's pretty doomy as well. The one review it has does a pretty good job explaining it.

Central Illinois Metalfest purchases:



From bottom left and clockwise:

Insect Warfare - World Extermination
Anata - The Conductor's Departure
Blut Aus Nord - Memoria Vetusta II: Dialogue with the Stars
Cardiac Arrest - Haven for the Insane
