No, they're core, not metal. Also, MA doesn't strictly add bands that are metal, there's more than a handful of Neofolk side projects from members of bands that are metal that are only listed for that reason only.

W.A.S.P.: The Headless Children
W.A.S.P.: The Crimson Idol
Agalloch: Ashes Against the Grain

I am really loving W.A.S.P. right now.

Christian Mistress - Possession
Manilla Road - Mystification, Invasion, & Metal

Woah, you got the new Metal! Looks fan-fucking-tastic!

http://www.amazon.com/Metalion-Slayer-D ... ag+diaries

Ordered this a couple days ago.

Not an album, but definitely album related.

Indeed! I'd have taken a more extensive photo, but alas I have only a phone camera at my disposal and it wouldn't be worth it. It's a typical Manilla Road vinyl release, save for a nifty booklet tucked into one of the sleeves which imitates the original Metal release on front & back, and has a little write-up on the inside by Mark Shelton about the album and its artwork. Invasion has one too.

I just got Iced Earth's Burnt Offerings 2 disc reissue in the mail.

Summoning - Lugburz
Summoning - Minas Morgul

Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds - The Firstborn Is Dead
Harold Budd & Brian Eno - Ambient 2 : The Plateaux Of Mirror

I'm pretty amazed that you've digested all those releases enough to know which ones you want to keep and get rid of. That would take me years of listening.

I've gotta assume you only don't want Iron Maiden's debut because you've already got a copy or two. What a perfect album.

i can tell pretty quickly if i dig something or not, i have to say there were a few surprises in there!
re maiden - i'd rather have an original

Copy that. Hopefully you won't be craving the soothing pulsating bass grooves and ritual chants of that Om album after it's gone. Love that one. Other than that I'd probably let a lot of that stuff go without even trying it so I can't blame you too much. I do eventually want to check out 3rd and the Mortal. And obviously the Saxon and Maiden are 10/10 classics but I guess that's an original issue.

nah i won't miss om ha ha i like sleep though and i can hear the similarities
i'm not a saxon fan at all, like manowar, i can 'go with the flow' if they come up in a conversation but i'll never buy any more [of either band]
that's the first time i've actually heard that maiden album, i didn't really like his voice, i'm going to play it again soon just to make sure though ha ha

At Giza is like the quintessential Om song though. Vg album if you're into that sort of thing. What is your take on the Ragnarok? I've only ever heard Arising Realm, but I was pretty into it.

In the mail:
Dead Can Dance - s/t
Be'lakor - Of Breath and Bone
Hell - Human Remains
Children of Dune miniseries

On order:
Cathedral - The Garden of Unearthly Delights

i liked the ragnarok, first time i've heard them too [i remember when that album with he terrible cover came out ha ha] i'm going through the ones i like and playing them again now.
that cathedral is a sweet album too i reckon, i got the scratch n sniffle disc version, smells like hippies

Death in June - Oh How We Laughed CD
Negative Approach - Total Recall CD
Dinosaur Jr. - You're Living All Over Me CD
American Hardcore by Steven Blush

Candlemass- Tales of Creation

These things always work out to like $20 USD :-/. Would like to get one at some point though. What's your favorite Darkwood album?

Haha indeed, a little peak
Great to hear you found one of your favorite albums in my shelf!


Got some more tapes in the mail today, from ''Dungeon Tapes''



Phantom Feel - Demo II
Profectum Iri/Niteris - Collusion Of Slumbering Evil
Deathcircle In These Depths Of Madness We Proclaim Thy Name
Cave Ritual - Cave Ritual
Forest Grave/Black Howling - Split

it always makes me laugh to see this obscure black metal stuff on tape packaged in those old vhs cases

Cannabis Corpse - Blunted At Birth (LP)
Dead Congregation - Purifying Consecrated Ground (EP)
Impetuous Ritual - Relentless Execution of Ceremonial Excrescence (LP)
Emperor - In the Nightside Eclipse (2xLP)

Got a few more small packages later this week:



Moon Bandits - Straight Thinking Means Plain Speaking (+ a few patches that aren't pictured)
Aldebaran - Embracing the Lightless Depths tape
Weald - s/t tape

Dissimulation - Miglose 7"
Myotis - Myotis
Ashen (US) - Demo
Pay Attention Subculture Photography by Adam Degross (Just Amazing)

2 new cds in the mail:

Manilla Road - The Courts of Chaos (only own Spiral Castle, I have a ton of catching up to do.)
Mortuary Drape - Secret Sudaria (only have Buried in Time, had to grab a cheap copy of this after another poster directed me to it!)

Non metal random used cd's: (6 for $10 in the bargin bin)
Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning
The Jimi Hendrix Experience - Are You Experienced (I think this is a 1st press...)
Melvins + Lustmord - Pigs of the Roman Empire
Nine Inch Nails - Fixed
Pearl Jam - Yield
Pearl Jam - Binaural

That's actually pretty funny man. You've picked what are in my opinion the two absolute weirdest Manilla Road albums as your starting point. If you dig those you could explore in literally any direction of their discography and probably be quite happy.

Got my package from HHR today:


Beherit - At The Devil's Studio 1990 (Short Sleeve Shirt)
Beherit - At The Devils Studio 1900 CD
Destroyer 666 - To The Devil His Due CD
Bathory Yellow Goat Button
Slaughter Strappado Button
Immolation Logo Button
Sinister Red Logo Buttion

Did you go to the release show at Brickmania? I wound up not being able to make it, kind of a bummer. Semi-related, did you see False play? Does the vocalist still do all her weird candle-lighting shit before they start playing?

very cool, are the badges for a jacket or bag?

I usually put them on my jacket since I find them suit better than just patches.

Summoning - Dol Guldur
Summoning - Stronghold
Summoning - Nightshade Forests
Summoning - Let Mortal Heroes Sing Your Fame

Pathology - The Time of Great Purification
Dying Fetus - Reign Supreme
Aura Noir - Out to Die
Naglfar - Téras
Houwitser - Embrace Damnation
Finntroll - Nifelvind
Hour of Penance - Sedition
Abomination - Curses of the Deadly Sin

Might as well mention the albums I got for Christmas using my gift money. Mostly been expanding my epic doom collection, as it's one of my favourite genres and until recently I had very little of it on CD.

Candlemass: Epicus Doomicus Metallicus, Nightfall. - Figured I'd be a fool not to own the classics.
Atlantean Kodex: The Golden Bough. - Pretty awesome stuff, I'm a little shocked to learn a lot of people on here really don't like it, but hey.
Solstice: Halcyon. - I already had the two full-lengths, so I thought why not complete the trilogy and grab the EP.
Coffins: Buried Death. - Ballsy heavy-as-fuck death/doom is something I was lacking in, past Runemagick and Asphyx, and this album is pretty essential.
Coffin Texts: Gods of Creation, Death and Afterlife. - Loved this album for ages but could never find a good CD copy. Seems the release of their new album (which I have yet to hear) allowed for a few copies of the debut to land themselves on eBay.

Pretty lovely little haul if I do say so myself.

Where did you get that Horna -Sota 7"?

I went early and didn't stay for the bands so I don't know.

Cannibal Corpse: Torture
Murder Construct: s/t
Murder Construct: Results
Origin: Entity
Anaal Nathrakh: Passion

Since Dødsengel Imperator is now a collector's item, and I can't get a copy at a reasonable price, is there anyone who knows where I can purchase the file on flac format?

got these yesterday:

8 Foot Sativa ‎– Poison Of Ages [nz metal, ulcerate drummer]
Just One Fix ‎– Blood Horizon [nz thrash metal, killer artwork on this, i actually bumped into the guitarist the other day]
Morbid Angel - Illud Divinum Insanus [tin box, not for me, as if i need two copies of this...]
Various ‎– In Memory Of Celtic Frost [woo hoo! killer, pity it skips, i'll fix that right up]



edit: oh and i got my ticket for MARDUK on tuesday [tomorrow]
