metal mind did a sinister 'box set', it's pretty low budget like most crappy metal mind stuff
i paid way too much for mine, you americans can get them cheap there, someone in here got one for like $20 [?!] not bad for about 9 cds and a dvd

Yeah, I am actually looking into it. I figure, in the long run, buying the box set would be cheaper then tracking down their whole discography. However I havnt found it for any cheaper than $80 plus shipping and I cant justify parting with that kind of money on it at this point in time. I just fear the longer I wait to pick it up, I may lose my chance. I am kind of kicking myself in the ass for not at least buying the Cross The Styx/Diabolical Summoning duel disc reissue because I cant find Diabolical Summoning for what I would consider a reasonable price either. These jacked up prices are bull shit. No rare under ground extreme metal c-d is ever going to be worth that much, lol.

Here are some recent albums I got from xmas;



Deathspell Omega - Paracletus
Deathspell Omega - Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum
Deathspell Omega - Drought
Burzum - Umskiptar
Blut Aus Nord - Ultima Thulee
Isengard - Vinterskugge
Odz Manouk - Odz Manouk

Deathspell Omega T-Shirt as well.

tight on the deathspell omega scores.

Abyssal: Novit enim Dominus qui sunt eius

Another successfull trip to Half Priced Books for me today I picked up As They Sleep - Dynasty, Epoch of Unlight - Caught in the Unlight, and And Christ Wept - Destroy Existence.

can I ask which half off books you go to? I usually go to the one in highland park, found carelian satanist madness there for $8

We got one near our house (Fremont, CA), and found Autopsy's first album and (not metal but awesome) Utopia's self-titled and RA. Also found a Six Feet Under CD, but nobody cares about them (granted they've certainly improved on their last couple of albums, but that's a whole different topic).

I'm actually amazed what you can find there.

I normally go to the one in Bloomingdale since it's the closest one too me but I also go to the palatine one pretty regularly, yesterday was Bloomingdale. I make it a point to stop in whenever I see one though since you can find some real gems buried in there from time to time.

Cool. I went to the Bloomingdale one for the first time on Sunday, and I found a decent copy of In Search Of Space on vinyl.

didn't post pictures for a while so here the latest arrivals:



Abigor - Opus IV (firstpress) CD
Abigor - Verwüstung / Invoke the dark age (firstpress) CD
Abigor - Nachthymnen / From the twilight kingdom (firstpress) CD

Quick trip to the store today:

-Discharge - The Realities of War 7"
It was $3.75 and I like Discharge.

-Darkthrone - Panzerfaust #638/2000
Because Darkthrone. This is my favorite band, and I buy pretty much every release of theirs that I find. It's not the Back on Black gatefold, just a Peaceville reissue.

Skitsystem fucking rules, and this is their best. Dark, metallic crust in the Swedish d-beat(ish) style.

Bolstered my Obituary collection last weekend/this week, all original CDs of course:

Obituary - Cause of Death, I like this album more than Slowly We Rot, seems to usually be the other way around. That Celtic Frost cover is really killer too, perfect band to cover them.
Obituary - The End Complete, This album is fucking awesome. Especially "Killing Time", that riff is so addicting.
Obituary - World Demise, This one is on order, hasn't gotten here yet.
Obituary - Back from the Dead, A rap track at the end? Hehe, could be amusing.

The End Complete was the first death metal i ever heard, bought it on tape, i still have it

Awesome album to start out your death metal career with for damn sure.

Gamma Ray - Heading For Tomorrow
From Ashes Rise / Victims Split
Fistfuck - Felicitation Pour Votre Beau Programme
Ghoul - Splatterthrash
Racetraitor/Burn it Down: Make Them Talk

Dude, nice haul there, especially the books, The Monkey Wrench Gang is a personal favorite of mine, I'm re-reading it right now. Fire on the Mountain is another great book by Edward Abbey.

My first CD of 2013:
Vio-Lence: Oppressing the Masses

Nice Krav, that Lycus is so good.

finally put it off long enough, I picked up
P.L.F. 'Crushing Fury Of Bastardization'

From left to right, top to bottom:
Moonspell- Under the Moonspell (Picture Disc)
-Let this slip through my fingers on CD too many times, Moonspell's relatively primitive but unique and spirited early EP.
Suffocation- Despise the Sun
-Ridiculously short but powerful EP that sort of bridges classic Suffocation and their post-reunion material.
Moonspell- Alpha Noir/Omega White (2CD Digibook)
-One of 2012's most ambitious releases. Two albums: one heavy, one light, packaged together in a gorgeous book-style presentation.
Satyricon- The Shadowthrone
-I now have all the Satyricon that really matters; their 90's albums and a split with Enslaved that includes their only demo officially available.
Nox- Ixaxaar
-Though it's unfortunate this project is laid to rest, Centurian existing again makes up for it.
Dark Angel- Times Does Not Heal (Black Edition) (Oversized Digipack)
-Strange format, it's in between the size of a DVD and a CD, comes inside a slipcase with a booklet, also of bizarre proportions.
Shub Niggurath- Horror Creatures
-A compilation of obscure Lovecraftian oldschool death from Mexico.
