necro tampon?!
that looks interesting but i don't want to look it up just in case it's like die antwoord or something ha ha

shit, it was 1988 pressing. I was a little off

Immolation - Close To A World Below
Deicide - Deicide
Suffocation - Souls To Deny

^ CLASSICS

Nah, great album! Waiting it myself as well.

December:

Rotting Christ - Aealo
Def Leppard - Pyromania
Demons & Wizards - Demons & Wizards
Black Sabbath - Technical Ecstasy
Slough Feg - Down Among the Deadmen
Orden Ogan - To the End
Queensryche - Operation Mindcrime
Van Halen - II
Rush - Permanent Waves
Jackson 5 - The Best Of
Taylor Swift - Speak Now
Deep Purple - Machine Head
Yes - Fragile
Immortal - At the Heart of Winter (Printed by Amazon.com version)
Little Feat - Original Album Series (Little Feat / Sailin' Shoes / Dixie Chicken / Feats Don't Fail Me Now / The Last Record Album)

In the mail:
HMS Pinafore Soundtrack
Terry Callier - What Color is Love?

What does it look like? I think I have a copy of Resurrection - "Embalmed Existence" which I believe was printed by Amazon. I'm not sure because it was given to me as a gift. It really sucks too, because it is a CD-R and my CD player cannot play it...

For Christmas I got these CD's:

Taake - "Nattestid Ser Porten Vid"
Asphyx - "The Rack"
King Diamond - "The Eye"
Dark Fortress - "Tales from Eternal Dusk"
Bathory - "Bathory"

I have already listened to all of them: they are all awesome. The only one I was a tiny bit disappointed by was Taake. It was a good album but perhaps will need a few more spins to really sink in.

Cover art is blurry and has a border around it. No back & inside art, only a tracklist. It says printed by Amazon on top of the barcode. Not really a fan of these.

Hammers of Misfortune-The Bastard
Virgin Steele-The Marriage of Heaven & Hell pt.2
Manticora-Darkness With Tales To Tell
and the only cd I asked for Warlord-Anthology

PART 2:

Savage Grace - Master of Disguise/Dominatress
Oz - Fire in the Brain
The Lamp of Thoth - Cauldron of Witchery
Agent Steel - Skeptics Apocalypse

It's my mission to order only classics with this giftcard, stuff I'm gonna obsess over for years. So far I feel like I'm fucking killin' it.

Never heard Oz but a lot of people I trust have trumped up this album. Same deal for Savage Grace (although I am a huge Omen fan so there's that connection). I tried to order Skeptics Apocalypse from Amazon years ago and got Unstoppable Force instead. I'm really hoping that doesn't happen again.

And I snagged the Lamp of Thoth album cheap because they had it wrongly labelled as "Lamb of Thoth". I'm on a mission to collect everything/anything I can associated with this group. Simon's oddness really resonates with me.

Years back I tried to order Skeptics Apocalypse from ebay, realized I had mistakenly ordered Unstoppable Force instead, and then the seller ended up mistakenly sending me Skeptics Apocalypse anyway. Sometimes two wrongs do make a right!

Now that's a miraculous turn of events

Bolt Thrower - In Battle There is No Law!
Heathen - Victims of Deception
Hell - Human Remains
Mournful Congregation - The Unspoken Hymns
Mournful Congregation - The Book of Kings
Running Wild - Masquerade (iTunes)
Violator - Chemical Assault (LP)

NWN! has a sale!
1 x Ignivomous "Contragenesis" Die hard LP (LP) = $12.00
1 x Ares Kingdom "Return to Dust" Patch (Patch) = $2.40
1 x Faustcoven "Hellfire and Funeral Bells" CD (CD) = $3.00
1 x Celestiial "Where Life Springs Eternal" CD (CD) = $3.00
1 x Embrace of Thorns "Praying for Absolution" CD (CD) = $3.00
1 x Blasphemophagher “The III Command of the Absolute Chaos” CD (CD) =$3.00
1 x Dead Congregation "Graves of the Archangels" CD (CD) = $3.00

TONY! You were supposed to be using that sale to get a super cheap copy of Quicksand Dream! I hope they didn't sell out on you. It's such a stunning album.

Good work on the Faustcoven though. You've probably already heard it but that should definitely be right in your wheelhouse.

And I guess this may be more relevant here than in the FFA:

this must be what we were talking about in the matrix discussion thread recently, is it just a crappy cdr made by amazon? forget that.
you just know they made it with mp3 files
http://www.metal-archives.com/board/viewtopic.php?p=2169566#p2169566

whoah, even some of the rare stuff is discounted
i paid $5nzd for some of these recently though, hopefully the place i got them from gets some more during sale time

edit: 4 cds and a cheap martire t-shirt = $25
shipping = $25

no nwn order for me...

Oh f**in hell. I just looked up die antwoord. What the hell is that crap? Weird.

HA HA HA! it's that bad aye, i remember someone posting a video to this alien thing dry humping a corpse or some shit ages ago, rough

Yes it must be. I just don't understand how people can buy stuff like that, it's even weirder than paying for MP3s!

That makes for two absolutely horrifying things I discovered today, so I want all of you to google Waco Jesus' cover art in retaliation!

Haven't made purchases recently, or better said I've been trying to stop buying CDs so regularly. Still I'm tempted to lose it and buy Devil Doll's entire discography for 75€, shipping included. A decision will emerge in the next few days, eh.

Yep, it was sold out :/

Death in June - Brown Book LP
Excruciating Terror - Expression of Pain CD
Sons of Abraham - Termites in His Smile CD

we can all do without die antwoord
although i do like the fact that they are weird as and hard core

Oh, too bad I already ordered that from XTreem Music for 8€, along with Rottrevore (yes, it's available again) and Depravity, among others.

Dude, at least there is some pussy in it. Check [link edited] shit out if you really want to be traumatized!


EDIT: Link updated, cheers "dreadmeat".

EDIT [mod]: I'm an idiot who just got suspended for 2 weeks. I'll come back when I'll learn to Internet.

discogs don't allow direct linking, or at least it never works for me...

edit: yes thank you very much for making sure we can all see that image of an old geezer sucking another geezers cock

well done, that's a really cool selection

I knew you'd like it.

Because while Amazon.com does list it on there, it is discreet enough that it's not idiot-proofed. This one was a gift, but I did accidentally order a copy of Root's The Book like this earlier this year. I'm not as upset about that one because it's harder to find for a cheap price.

Did find this, though, as an FYI.

yeah that's a relief

One last Christmas time indulgance. Back to saving money.

Immolation - Dawn Of Possession
Rigor Mortis - Rigor Mortiz (Vinyl)
Sinister - Crost The Styx
Sinister - Hate/Bastard Saints

Still, why would someone want to pay for a CD-R copy of anything? Getting a well made bootleg because the album costs hundreds of dollars I can sympathize with but getting a CD-R? But then again some people will think this is a good thing...

Just as a side-note, and for those who are interested, Xtreem does have a lot of stock available again and it's holding a 20% discount on goods.

@Shamancus - With a disclaimer like that you're sure I'm not ever going to click it.

Got some goodies today:

Megadeth - Endgame
Metallica - Beyond Magnetic
Slayer - Diabolus In Musica

All on CD, of course.

Beyond the fact that it is listed as a CD-R on the website, it is not readily apparent when looking at the disc. It's not blue or anything. I don't know anything about CD matrices in order to comment on that.

Been said before that those are probably sourced from mp3 files, not a lossless source. Can you check that? (Audacity, for instance, choose a track, Solarfall is great, and check the waveform, you can send a screenshot via pm so that we don't go offtopic).

So... is it silver? What I mean is if it's pro-printed or not. That would break I don't know how many international copyright laws.

It would be cool to have some waveforms and pics to actually know how they look and sound like, so if you can please do as japc says. Make a dedicated thread so that everyone can see what that's all about.

As for me... I gave in and ordered the Devil Doll pack so I'm going to start 2013 with a new discography to battle with!

Christmas Haul: Leviathan-Tenth Sub-Level of Suicide, Panopticon-Social Disservices, Teitanblood-Seven Chalices, The Ruins of Beverast-The Foulest Semen of a Sheltered Elite, PLUS!!!! Ildjarn-Ildjarn is Dead SEALED!!!!

Pics will be coming!

Wow, that was ridiculously overprized, even on Ebay it sells for far less than half this price.
