That album is so killer. Check out the follow-up that came out a couple months ago, it's almost as good.

I have that video bookmarked. It's virtually impossible to remember how it originally was!

Azmaveth - Strong As Death

Such killer black/death. I saw that EoH had bought it so I took another glance at their music and forgot how good they were.

Random thrift shop purchases this week:

The Absence - From Your Grave
Abysmal Dawn - Leveling The Plane Of Existence
Danzig - S/T
Steve Harris - British Lion
Tom Waits - Swordfishtrombones

Also got the new Opeth (regular version) & season 4 of The Walking Dead on blu-ray.

I think the new one is even better actually!

Anyway, just bought Entombed AD - Back To The Front.

Thanks man! yeah im addicted to it as well! this Morbus Chron album is amazing, they so unique the riffs just melt together





ha ha no its not but thanks i bought it from a medical student site that sell bone replicas for med students to study, it came white so i painted it pretty stoked with how it turned out

Just an FYI for all you 'Muricans, Nuclear Blast America is having a big back to school/labor day sale that ends tomorrow night.

Here they are.



Vaakevandring - Self-Titled EP
Drottnar - Anamorphosis

I talked about these a while back, but it took them a bit to ship from Norway.

I did a little catching up:
Amorphis - Circle
Ashes of Ares - s/t
Sonata Arctica - Pariah's Child

I've listened to Circle a couple times. It's got the signature Amorphis sound of the Joutsen albums, albeit darker. The change is nice, yet I think the melodies come through better when they write brighter/poppier songs.

The Ashes of Ares album is very back-to-basics so it was the easiest of the bunch for me to get into straightaway. Barlow sounds great as usual. The only thing I'm not crazy about is Freddie Vidales' soloing. He plays some cool licks here and there, but as a whole the solos are kind of tame and meandering. He's a great riff-writer, though.

Pariah's Child didn't click with me at first but it's beginning to open up. If anything, this album sounds like a continuation of Stones Grow Her Name, more so than a return to form. Even the first track, which I feel has the most in common with Sonata's pre-Unia albums, sounds more like it belongs with their latest material because of that Christmas carol-like verse. I'm not knocking this album in any way, though, as I have liked all of their recent albums.

Also got this in from the man himself:
Cauldron Born - Sword and Sorcery Heavy Metal

Asphyx - Deathhammer (Brazilian press)
Death - Leprosy (some South American reissue): Death full-length collection is finally complete.
Dismember - The God that Never was
Dismember - Dismember: ^These both absolutely rip. Easily among their best. Probably my favourite Swedeath band.
Funeral Circle - Funeral Circle: Excellent varied doom.
Nuclearhammer - Existence of Abhorrence (tape)
Pentacle - Ancient Death (tape): Apparently this has Death/Mantas covers with KK from D666 on guitars
Summoning - Stronghold (tape boxset)
Vital Remains - Into Cold Darkness (Digipak reissue): Cannot get into this band. Second album I've tried from them. Does not hold my attention at all.
Warmarch - The Declaration
Witchburner - Witchburner / Blasphemic Assault
唐朝 - 演义

Still waiting on a few preorders and stuff.

I haven't posted in this thread much recently, haven't bought that many metal things recently (been too sick and drained of energy to feel like looking for good deals on stuff like I used to), did buy quite a bunch of non metal cds and vinyl but didn't post 'em here since I don't think that many people would appreciate them. Maybe there should be a non metal album purchase thread in the tavern or something. Anyway yesterday I got the Yob- The Great Cessation vinyl reissue in the mail, also ordered Demilich- 20th Adversary of Emptiness cd, Deafheaven -Sunbather vinyl (on sale on amazon for $10.99 shipped), and Earth- Earth 2 vinyl.

That Vital Remains album is on my wantlist if you want to get rid of it, maybe a swap?
Nice! some really good stuff in there man
Are you really in Pakistan?
Ok, I'm pretty sure you can buy real ones somewhere, they're really expensive though

And I have a day off so get to catalogue some more new stuff, wicked! it's my favourite thing to do

Yes they are i think for a real one its upwards of around two thousand dollars, and im not sure on the laws on owning one. my Mrs would freak the fuck out if i had a real one and to be honest im not sure i would like to have a real one either.

Thanks man! Yeah i'm from Pakistan. If you still don't believe me, should i post a photo of myself holding one of those discs at Pak-Afghanistan border?

That's what I heard too, which is why they use replicas for students I suppose
Edit: you're in Australia, apparently in Europe they are a lot cheaper and I was told in USA they can be found for $1000 USD
Yeah do it! that would be cool

Oh hey that's interesting, I never noticed both codes work for this guy

Speaking for that States here, yes you can legally own human bones and yes they are expensive as hell. Dread's pretty spot on with the $1,000 USD (that's for the lower end if I remember correctly). My wife would love to own at least one human skull (now if I could just get her to like metal ), I on the other hand think it would be creepe as fuck and wont allow it. I did comprise and bought her a baboon skull for a present one year which was considerably cheaper (about 1/4 the cost) which actually looks pretty bad ass. Maybe I shoukd use it as a background piece for some photos next time.

I would have to get out the epoxy resin and attach goat horns to it ha ha

Why do that when you can just have the real thing? https://www.boneroom.com/welcome.aspx?c ... lateSkulls

Ahahahahaha! I knew someone would link to that
I'd probably go for a cruise out to our old farm and dig something up for free

We're so far off topic it's not funny but I really like goats, they are hilarious

Antestor - Omen
Grave Declaration - When Dying Souls Scream Praise
Sanctifica/Pantokrator - In the Bleak Midwinter/Songs of Solomon
Drottnar - Spiritual Battle
Crimson Moonlight - The Covenant Progress

All of these are physical copies (which is rare for me, I usually buy music digitally because it's cheaper, faster, and easier). Bolded ones are brand new for me, the other three are physical versions of albums that I previously owned digitally but loved so much I wanted to be able to hold them in my hands.

The stuff I got at this year Wings of Metal
Dream Death - Somnium Excessum + patch
Under the Sun - Man of Sorrow (cool trad doom with DD's drummer Mike Smail)
Bölzer patch

Alright, now I just need time for all this...

^Pretty please use spoiler tags next time if your images are that plentiful and that big.

I picked up a few things from Sullen Records today.

Suspiria Profundis - In War Against Satan
Erasmus - Memento Mori I: Outrecuidance
Maugrim - Paths of the Damned

And I also ordered this from Nordic Mission:

Grave Declaration - The Nightshift Worshiper

I'm so excited!

There's no need to do that, his pictures aren't even big. ForestCorpse is the Marc Dorcel of MA and that's fine with everyone!

Gold, pure gold!

What's the deal with nordic mission, they've got to be selling reissues right? There's no way those are any but, but I've never heard of them before nor have I heard of some of this stuff being reissued.

I only bought the Grave Declaration EP from Nordic Mission, the other three things weren't. Their website is nordicmission.net and all they are is a Norwegian company that sells Christian music, my copy that I'm getting is indeed one of the original 850, not some reissue.

That's fine and dandy but they don't just have stock piles of oop albums from the 90's laying around in new form now do they? I'll have to do some investigation. Also they don't sell just Christian music. Are they basically a second hand store then, buying and reselling albums?

Where's my usual suspects? Dread, androdion, other gurus come forth and shed thy knowledge upon me.

No idea mate, this is all news to me.

NM does sell a few non-Christian bands, but everything they sell is Christian appropriate (no Paganism, Satanism, atheism, anti-Christianity, anti-religion, etc.). Some of the stuff is used, but they put it in the title of the CD if it is (i.e. "AS I LAY DYING An Ocean Between Us (used)"). Most of the music that they sell is new, though.

I wouldn't say that they have "stockpiles" of out-of-print albums, but maybe a few copies here and there. I'm pretty sure that these guys were the main distributor for Momentum Scandinavia and Nokternal Hemizphear (I actually think they own the latter if I remember right). So it would make sense if they had a few copies of the 850x Momentum Scandinavia EPs (they don't carry Vaakevandring though, as that's too rare). If it's stuff for big bands (Extol, Antestor, etc.) I'm pretty sure that they sell the American reprint versions.
