there are plenty of these for sale here in Holland indeed. jasper payed a descent price.

Monster Magnet "Powertrip" (2x12")(A&M Records 1998)

Just got Holy Blood's The Wanderer in the mail today. Normally I'd be happy about it but thanks to Amazon I have a mangled ass jewel case and a loose CD. I'm really sick of their shit coming in broken almost all the time nowadays.

Sorry to hear about that, but fucking nice purchase dude! I'm a sucker for black/folk metal and that's definitely their heaviest offering. I wasn't a huge fan of Shining Sun, though.

Yeah Shining Sun was kinda weak imo too but I really like Holy Blood and I've been after The Wanderer for a while now. I have the rest of their stuff but some of it is digital only so now I just have to get their middle two CDs, fortunately they aren't really pricey.

Also just checked the mail and got these as well today:
Sanctifica - Spirit of Purity (really happy to have a physical copy of this now and for only $21 on ebay)
Alcest - Souvenirs d'un Autre Monde (fuck I already own this must've clicked the wrong button not my day for dealing with Amazon)
Deafheaven - Roads to Judah

I have all 4 of their CDs... as digital copies. This was when I was lazy, cheap, and didn't feel like waiting for albums to come in, so I'd just get an iTunes card and buy them. I might end up buying the physical CDs just because I want to have them in my hands, and since they're inexpensive like you said.

Shining Sun just had too much female vocals for my liking, and was pretty much devoid of any black metal, which made the other 3 albums awesome. It's a decent folk metal record, but a poor Holy Blood record.

Only death a physical copy is real!

re Death Angel - The Ultra Violence I'm sure I saw one for a hundred bucks recently!
After looking around a bit what you paid is about right, a mate of mine saw one here for $50 NZD a few months ago too

HHR order just came in!

Slidhr - Deluge
Todesstoss - Selbstentleibung - Der Annaberung Erster Teil
Zargof - Departure For The Cosmic Twilight
The Bottle Doom Lazy Band/ Children of Doom - Doom Freaks split
Krayl - Von Dusteren Welten
and a couple Kaleidoscope zines

Got from vacation in New Orleans the other day and came away with all this goodness:



That Transilience tape is one of the rarest albums I've come across. It's quite creative jazzy prog thrash in the vein of Voivod from what I've heard, and a cool pick-up. The Number of the Beast tape there is a single. favorite find here was probably Consuming Impulse, which I've longed to possess on cassette for quite a while, though finding some of my favorites from Crimson Glory, Vicious Rumors, Savatage, and Shok Paris was sweet as well.



Esoteric - The Pernicious Enigma, The Maniacal Vale, Subconscious Dissolution into the Continuum



Centurian - Of Purest Fire (first press MCD, quite rare I think)
Centurian - LiberZarZax
Mutilation - Mutialtion (JL America/Turbo USA pressing, another obscurity)
Gorguts - Obscura (YES!)



Benediction - Subconscious Terror (first press)
Red Harvest - Cold Dark Matter
Disincarnate - Dreams of the Carrion Kind
Angelcorpse - The Inexorable




Henrik Fevre - Seasons of a Soul, Other Souls, On the Brink of Something Better (the bassist/vocalist of my favorite band Anubis Gate. He was kind enough to sing them to me )

If you're into the 'black' metal stuff you should check out that Sanctifica CD i just got it's fucking wicked, though their second release kinda blows. Ok it really blows but hey at least we've got Spirit of Purity




That's why I'm in the process of little by little hunting down physical copies of stuff I was either too lazy or cheap to buy before. I just don't like having only digital copies.

I'm selling a Todesstoss CD if you're at all interested, it's called Spiegel Der Urangste



Good grief man! you just walked into a music shop and bought those!?
Cool Pestilence tape

Just got my very first Bolt Thrower album today!
While I'm not a huge fan of their particular genre I was blown away by the last two Asphyx albums (and the DVD as well.) So then I went into (a) Hail Of Bullets and was impressed as well. At that point a van Drunen fan, and Dave Ingram as well (love his radio show), it was natural to seek out some BT.
Using the reviews here as a guide and finding a 94% review album on the 'net for cheap I had to give it a go.
Only half way through it as I type and I can say it's pretty fair. Not a fan of the vocal style but the music's pretty heavy and that's what counts for me , but there's nothing that blows my doors off, yet. Of course I'll give it a few more spins to see what happens.
Not very impressed with the production values at this point.

The Witherscape-debut album. Edge Of Sanity meets Katatonia and some Opeth and some don'tknowwhat. Pretty good. Dan Swanö rules!

I couldn't believe it either. It was the kind of day that a collector dreams of. (Also the price I paid for it all was criminally low. Let's just say i could sell Obscura and regain all expended).

Killer! I love a good deal aye, I actually have that Disincarnate album sitting next to me right now, an original one.

Ericfg - check out Soulburn if you haven't already

It's official Metal_Detector, you just managed to increase my depression levels substantially...

I really need to relocate to a country with decent CD shops, I really do.

Youre welcome Here.

You are quite welcome! Glad you got em safe and sound and most of all... enjoyed them!

finally my haul from NWN arrived, i was already thinking the mailman stole my stuff

Silencer - Death, pierce me
Marches of the Iron Guard
Cult of Luna - Somwhere Along The Highway
Ares Kingdom - Veneration
Absurd - Asgardrei

Mourning Beloveth - The Sullen Sulcus CD
Popped this into the CD player on the way home and holy shit, this is a good death/doom album! "Sad bastard music," as Jack Black's character, Barry, would say.

ISIS - The Red Sea
Local record store had the ltd red clear LP in stock, so I figured I should swipe it while it was still there.

No way is this thread leaving the first page

I got a few things today: some from a trade with a mate in Austria, one from a mate here in Auckland and the rest from my local big awesome music shop
And yes, that is Fenriz standing next to a giant ice cream cone

Yeah, had a Uzumaki morning on Saturday. Listened to the lot in chronological order. Just wanted to lay down in a darkened room afterewards. Was intense!!

They call that the Speed Ritual Effect
You had some senses, now everything just hurts, there's some bearded maniac in Mississippi laughing his arse off

That's usually my goal for most of my projects. I want you to feel something after listening! A nice feeling of being drained of all your energy is always the best one!

And some awesome new stuff came in.. Also for my mate ShaolinLambKiller, Your package is on its way from today. Enjoy em mate


And ShaolinLambKiller's part of the package.


Damn im sexy... and i know it hahaha

And another very RARE release just dropped in the box.

Mucus Membrane - Shallow Existence - Wild Rags...

Sepultura - Schizophrenia CD Digipak

new stuff:



Faustrecht - Demoniak LP
Panzerfaust / Hellvetic Frost Split LP (white vinyl)
Strychnos - Lessons in Terror LP (red vinyl)
Sturmtiger - Knivdrab Pic 10"
Vordr / Volkulah / Hammer / Bone Awl - Vinland / Finland LP
Bilskirnir - Wolfswut Pic 7"
Denial of God - Death and the beyond CD
Vader - Welcome to the morbid reich DigiCD

New stuff: Septic Flesh, Necros Christos, Urfaust, Disembowelment and Manilla Road. A bit of everything (genre wise).

Top line came from SoM, and again they canceled part of the order, refunded the missing items but seem to have forgotten that the postage should have gone down as well.

Awesome!!! IMHO by far their best album...

Nice pick! Haven't heard the other bands, but I love Vordr. Their s/t MLP is one of my most played BM releases from the past decade.

Bone Awl is awesome, pretty unique and raw stuff. That looks like a fine split.

After BtR, is my favourite album, also.

You really are, thanks so much for helping get a few things that I had racked up on never getting.


And on top of that wife pointed out the sale at NWN and wanted to pick up a few things so I did as well:
Ved Buens Ende "Those Who Caress the Pale" CD
Necroven "Worship of Humiliation" CD
Demonomancy "Rites of Barbaric Demons" MCD
Antediluvian "Logos" CD
Order of Ennead "Examination of Being" CD
Mythos "Pain Amplifier" LP
Akercocke "Antichrist" CD
D.B.C. "Dead Brain Cells" LP

Glad I saw you post that! Caught the ass end of the sale:

Cult of Luna - Somewhere Along the Highway CD
Embrace of Thorns - Praying for Absolution CD
Verge - Sex & Violence CD

You are welcome! Glad I could pass on the goodness somehow.

I actually considered getting those Antediluvian and Akercocke albums, but passed for some reason or another. I should have shelled out the $3 for each, in retrospect.

make a second order. i totally didn't even see that embraced by thorns when I was going through. now I'm aggrivated I didn't get it right then.

Ah shit, I did it. Thanks for wasting my money jerkface!

Leviathan - Mastodon
Defenders of the Faith - Judas Priest
Don't Break the Oath - Mercyful Fate
