Oh whups my second question was directed at Metal_Detector's Les Discrets book, but knowing what's in the Timeghoul one is good to know.


Dark Descent needs all Rotting Christ it can get so I can buy them at one spot!

Skeletonwitch -"Forever Abomination" (Picked up at FYE for $10. LOVE this album!)

I also ordered a large haul from Hells Headbangers, which should be here Monday or Tuesday!

Nazxul - Iconoclast

It's pretty awesome. A lot of ghostly, simplistic but haunting paintings like the cover. I like some of them better than the cover art, to be honest. About half of the book is made up of artistic photos of the band, though.

I have the Alcest one, too, and it follows in about the same format.

Has anyone bought from Shadow Kingdom Records before? Well, of course some of you have, but I placed an order and chose my payment option, and I haven't payed for it yet. I have to go through an email first, which I haven't gotten yet because I assume it's not automated. I didn't see anything useful on this on their website, figured I'd ask here. Also, I wanted to spend a couple extra bucks for a different vinyl colour for a particular record, would this email be the interim through which I do so? Or do I have to select/request it elsewhere?

Edit: I just read the "information" section of their homepage, I don't know how I missed that. I'm fairly clear on the ordering. Not cheap on the shipping though... I kind of want to go back and add a couple things to make up for it.

You rule.

Looking forward to the new EP's. The samples are great. Should hold up against the mighty Nocturnal Graves.

Judas Priest-Stained Class
Rotting Christ-Non Serviam

and an Ulver Nattens Madrigal shirt.

MikeyC, enjoy 'The Mighty Contract', it' a beast of an album! Veracs, you will have a blast listening to 'Non Serviam'!

I knew you would approve.


Oh, sorry. Yeah, you're right about the Rotting Christ. I have lots but I'm missing a few albums.


Thanks, Rotting_Christ_Mike, whose opinion probably is not biased in any way.

napalm death - Time Waits For No Slave
brutal truth - end time
both i bought at the same time last year, lol

A box of rubbers. Not because I have a high batting average in that regard lately, but because I know I'm going to wind up flinging 2 across the room in frustration for every 1 I'll actually use.

Oh, albums? Yeah, the Orange Goblin box set. If I can make these 2 purchases work in synchronicity, it should be a good weekend.

Hahahaha Why would it possibly be biased? I mean seriously, how can you not adore Rotting Christ's material. All killer, no filler! Definitely one of my all times favourites!

got these yesterday:
nile - in the beginning: festivals of atonement + ramses bringer of war [these songs must have been rerecorded or something, this cd sounds different, but very cool]
nile - amongst the catacombs of nephren-ka [original, i have this on picture disc LP too]
immolation - harnessing ruin [ltd edition digipak with bonus video, starting to get double ups of their stuff now, oh dear how sad nevermind eh]

How much did that one cost?

about $8 nzd [just under $7usd] i actually got all 3 for $25 nzd [$20 usd] inc postage, i've seen it in near new condition for $15 nzd [$12 usd] i was in the right place at the right time i suppose, i don't recall seeing this in my local massive awesome record store before though [this was bought privately and the other copy was also available privately]
it's good, i recommend it.

I wouldn't say it's all killer. Sleep Of The Angels didn't really strike me as awesome, but Triarchy Of The Lost Lovers, Non Serviam, and even their latest Aealo (minus the bad closing track) are all really cool.

You completely missed that one track with all female vocals. What a horrendous pile of shit that track is.

I actually don't mind that one.

Nice how does it compare with the others? Only really heard Beyond the Permafrost.

Got Purtenance - Member of Immortal Damnation. Gotta love cheap shit Amazon!

just picked up Fallen by Burzum today

Its just as good if not better in my opinion. Fantastic album.

Beheaded - Resurgence of Oblivion
Black Oath - S/T
Napalm Death - Scum
Portrait - Crimen Laesae Majestatis Divinae
Powers Court - S/T
Xasthur - Xasthur MCD
Xasthur - A Gate Through Bloodstained Mirrors

Anorexia Nervosa - Drudenhaus
Draconis Infernum - Death In My Veins
Salacious Gods - Askengris

Behemoth - Demigod. I wasn't very impressed on first listen, but not disappointed either. Seems solid enough.

Candlemass - Tales of Creation. Gonna listen to this tomorrow. If it's half as good as Nightfall, I'll be happy.

Stemm - Songs For The Incurable Heart
Stemm - Crossroads
Mastodon - The Hunter
Crowbar - Sever The Wicked Hand
Down - Diary Of A Mad Band

Nice, I've got both eps on order from Hells Headbangers just now. Where'd you get the tape from? (I got the CD-r version from the band's website)

Not sure if any of the tape versions are still around.

Autopsy - Macabre Eternal
Orange Goblin - Boxed Set
Orange Goblin - Healing Through Fire
Timeghoul Reissue

That's definitely really cheap!

I can understand why you wouldn't be amazed by "Sleep of the Angels"; it took some time for me to really like it, it's got a different vibe. I agree about the closing track of "Aealo", it's really unnecessary but I've listened to it a few times, and I may get fascinated by it, but not every time. There was a time when I hated it because I had to sit through it while waiting for Rotting Christ to show up on the stage during on of their gigs.

I actually really enjoy that one! To each his own, I guess.

I got the tape, and the eps from: Ordo MCM



Got a package from Nuclear War Now! yesterday:


Carpathian Forest - Bloodlust and Perversion ( Double Lp)
Mournful Congregation - Weeping / An Epic Dream of Desire ( Double Lp)


Proclamation - Nether Tombs of Abaddon ( ''Die Hard'' Edition, including: Picture Lp, big killer backpatch, poster and sticker.)



Varathron - Genesis of the Unaltered Evil ( ''Die Hard'' Edition, including: Colored vinyls, an extra lp ''Live At The Swamp'', 48 page booklet, big backpatch, poster and sticker)

Won Carcass' Heartwork album, also has a demo collection of their older stuff, and a Documentary. The set is called "Carcass - Heartwork" and below, the second CD says "The Pathologist's report Part IV - Epidemic" I got it for free, but it was considered a purchase because I was in a store while getting it.

Really cool stuff on the demos, I've always been a Carcass fan.

Kult ov Azazel/Krieg split - 2001
Sinister - Bastard Saints (digi) - 1996
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger (fierce) - 1994

if i see another copy in better condition i'm likely to buy it, this one is fine but closer to vg or vg+
my local record store usually doesn't sell anything lower than vg+ or nm, but i got this privately so i was just happy with the good deal

original warmaster and master of puppets?
