Holy fuck! And here I was thinking that I have too many Vader CDs!

Someone mention Vader?






Whatever happened to the collection thread thing which was meant to get started up?

Also to Naymar, if you're after Lead Us (I didn't bother as it's basically just a single), a seller has many copies available on Amazon DE

Got these yesterday:


Aldious: Dazed & Delight [limited edition w/ DVD + alternate CD cover]
-All-female heavy/power metal (Japan seems to have quite a few of these). Stylistically this one is all over the place, a bit weird at times, and a good chunk of this isn't metal. Not sure I'm gonna proclaim it their best album yet, it certainly blows "District Zero" out of the water. I don't think its going to dethrone that MinstreliX for my favorite album from this year, but its giving it a run for its money. Some pretty nice bass-work here.

人間椅子 (Ningen-Isu): - 萬燈籠, 此岸礼讃
-This will take some time to properly absorb, but it seems pretty interesting so far.

Just got these two in today:



Antigama/Jan AG - Siekiera/Destination Death split

日本のために - Benefiets For Japan

Almost done collecting everything Antigama, only 3 more releases to go!

Burzum - The Ways of Yore
Church of Void / Lowburn - Split 7" (Worth getting for CoV's track)
Mansion - We Shall Live (Nine Records MCD version with all the lyrics. Already had the self-released 12"+CD-R combo but this release is just too damn good not to own a proper CD as well. Also a brilliant live band!)
Ocean Chief - Universums härd
Return from the Grave - The Rebirth from the Last Breath (Flimsy "light" digipak reissue. I'm afraid it will fall apart just by looking at it. Some bands sure make strange format choices sometimes. It's a good thing the music rocks!)
Return from the Grave - Gates of Nowhere
Saviour Machine - Saviour Machine I (Bought it from a friend who's selling most of his CD collection. Lots of limited edition and hard to get Saviour Machine stuff (among other things) but I don't need that so I just went with albums 1 & 2)
Saviour Machine - Saviour Machine II
Suicide - Suicide (The 2CD with live bonus tracks on the second disc)
Wolfshead - MMXIV (It's no Fall of the Idols but the band is improving nicely. The vocals will forever be an acquired taste, though)
Zaum - Oracles
Zirakzigil - Battle of the Peak (CD version with a chiptune bonus track. Because the band wasn't nerdy enough already?)

Carpathian Forest - Through Chasm, Caves and Titan Woods
Cosmic Church - Absoluutin lävistämä

I've been a bit busy but it will happen
maximum Vader!

W.A.S.P.-The Neon God Part 1:The Rise
Sepultura-Chaos A.D.
Iced Earth-Iced Earth
Iced Earth-Night Of The Stormrider
Motörhead-Snake Bite Love

Running Wild-Ready For Boarding
Blind Fury-Out Of Reach

Chinawite-Run For Cover
Spellbound-Rockin´ Reckless
Hardline-Hardline
Killer Dwarfs-Stand Tall

Not really purchases. But I received in trade from Mr Albert Witchfinder the following items

Reverend Bizarre/Electric Wizard split (Red vinyl die hard)
KLV/Viikate split 7 inch
Reverend Bizarre Dark World Deceiver
The Candles Burning Blue/Suruaika split 7 inch

All records signed as well

I'm a die hard RB fan so these are all pretty special to me

Conan - Blood Eagle

A few days ago I ordered the recently released The Quantum Enigma by Epica. Some of Epica's previous albums were... good, but their new one is simply f*cking amazing! The choirs and orchestration combined with crushing riffs make it one of the heaviest symphonic metal albums I've heard (not counting symphonic black/death metal), which is exactly what I like.

It just has more or less everything that I (a big fan of symphonic metal) could possibly ask for.

Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus [CD]
Amorphis - Tales from the Thousand Lakes [CD]
Hellhammer - Demon Entrails [CD] this one is a replacement of a beat up old used copy I have which doesn't work any longer
Ripping Corpse - Dreaming with the Dead [CD]
Morbid Angel - Abominations of Desolation [CD]
In Flames - The Jester Race [CD]
Incantation - Onward to Golgotha [CD]
Incantation - Mortal Throne of Nazarene [CD]

Rest assured I will be buying some more albums at the Nunslaughter show tonight.

Actually went down to my local metal shop yesterday for a few things.


Mayhem - Esoteric Warfare
Arckanum - Fenris Kindir
Ulcerate - The Destroyers of All
Triptykon - Melana Chasmata

KarbonSoul - 3logy CD EP Digipak

latest order:



The true Werwolf - Winternight tape
The true Werwolf - Endless Journeys DLP (yellow)
Satanic Warmaster - Strength & Honour LP (white)

Finally got my hands on

Mastodon - Once More Round The Sun
Mayhem - Esoteric Warfare
Triptykon - Melana Chasmata
Autopsy - Tourniquets, Hacksaws, and Graves

The latter three weren't available at The Exchange, who are usually great about carrying this kind of stuff. I took my chances and tried out Best Buy, even though i haven't bought from them in years. They had ALL of them. Very strange.


I did get Immolation's Close to a World Below at the Exchange, though. Great album.

Being re-employed is sure nice.

nice!
yeah mate, disposable income is wicked

Behemoth - The Satanist


So damn excited to listen to this.

yeah mate, disposable income is wicked


No kidding. Work was insanely slow for about four months and I wound up getting rid of over 500 items. it's nice to be back in the saddle.

Exodus- Fabulous Disaster
Blind Guardian- Nightfall In Middle Earth

Thanx, I haven't heard that album in awhile and figured I would order it. Erik Rutan rules.

At the show this weekend:

That metal market on Graspop Metal Meeting had some pretty sweet stuff, bought these cd's there:



Amorphis - Tales from the thousand Lakes (90s digipack version)
Morbid Angel - Blesssed Are The Sick
Morbid Angel - Domination
Amorphis - The Karelian Isthmus



Unleashed - Where no life dwells
Paradise Lost - Lost Paradise
Therion - Of Darkness.... ( it's the real deal, I was surprised to find this one there, it did cost quite a lot, but still a hell of a lot cheaper than anywhere on the internutz, instabuy-mode)

I also spotted Malevolent Creation - Ten Commandments for 17 euro's !! . I already have that one, so I let that one pass. It was way cheaper than what I bought it for though, haha...

I got 3 at once:

Soufly - Enslaved
Krisium - Arise From Blackness
Genocídio - Hoctaedrom

Jasper's haul is good, but Machine_Dead's is awesome!

Sadly my Hellfest haul from this year brought no rarities home, only original stuff from the last 15 years and a few reissues from the nineties. Could've been better but at least I closed some holes in my collection.

Picked up the following at my local Record and Tape Traders:

Incantation - Dirges of Elysium, Heard and recorded a song off of this new Incantation album at MDF and it was really killer stuff, very death/doom sounding, but with the abrupt tempo changes and varied songwriting Incantation is known for. Really psyched about this album.

Candlemass - Nightfall, Awesome band I need to listen to more and this addition will certainly help. They were awesome at MDF too, of what I can remember (was kind of drunk). \m/ \m/

Also pictured: My cat's cute paw. :3

went to DDR and took advantage of the sale...
Emptiness - Nothing but the Whole
Kever - Eon of Cycling Death
Thantifaxath - Sacred White Noise

everything else I own or don't want which is like 3 items total.

Another order from Dissident Records

Maze Of Torment - Hammers Of Mayhem [SWE, this is a very cool black/thrash band from Sweden, I have 4 CDs of theirs now]
Nuclear Assault - Out Of Order [US, original IRS, killer album]
Portal - Outre' [FRA, original Ordo Decimus Peccatum version]
Prosanctus Inferi - Noctambulous Jaws Within Sempiternal Night [US, twisted black/death, I think like red streams of flesh better though]
Throneum - Deathmass Of The Gravedancer [NED, violent Polish black/death]
The Ravenous - Blood Delirium [US, digipak, basically this is Autopsy/Abscess + Dan Lilker and Killjoy [Necrophagia], it's solid sick twisted DM]

Really good hauls Jasper and Machine_Dead

Haha thanks. Machine deads haul is great indeed. But I like mine a bit more hahaha.

Also where are we getting free Deiphago from? ha ha

Midnight - No Mercy for Mayhem [2CD]
Skitsystem - Gra Varld / Svarta Tankar [LP]

Got these on the way home from work. Drinking wine and listening.

I have listened to the Midnight album already and it is very great, one of the best I've heard this year for sure. Listening to the Skitsystem LP now and I know I will be playing bands such as World Burns to Death and Discharge for the rest of the night, I'm feeling the crust vibe right now for sure.

Got these from a seller on Discogs yesterday, some of them I only got to pack out the shipping but turned out to be quite good.

Bolt Thrower - Mercenary [GER, promo]
Candlemass - Death Magic Doom [GER, CD+DVD, ltd ed digipak]
Isis + Aereogramme - In The Fishtank 14 [NED, what is this godawful rubbish?!]
Otis - Electric Landlady [UK, very good and catchy stoner sludge metal]
Rotten Sound - Under Pressure [SPA, Repulse Records promo, proper grindcore]
Soilent Green - A Deleted Symphony For The Beaten Down [US, I have every SG album now]
Todd - Purity Pledge [UK, sounds like Unsane + Lair Of The Minotaur = wicked]

Hm, sounds strange, seems to be working fine here. Maybe I will try a different uploader next time!

Ha, I got the Deiphago Lp from Iron Bonehead, I guess it was a gift since i have spent a loooot of money there lately
