My Latest Purchases Thread

[Erik]

Thought you already had this? Some people think it's their best. I can only take it in doses, but it is quite fascinating.

Nope, have heard some of it before though.

Where did you get Xasthur? I've been looking for some ever since npearce started raving about it....

I got all of the above from my favourite black/doom distro Obscyre Art but you probably won't want to buy stuff from there unless you're in Sweden. Xasthur can often be found on eBay for decent prices.

 

[Erik]

Not purchases exactly, but...

Forefather "Deep in Time" CD (Hey Jay, this ain't half bad to my ears...)
Royal Carnage T-shirt (Thanks Jay! Nice design!)

Forefather "Deep in Time" CD (Hey Jay, this ain't half bad to my ears...)

Excellent! I mean, it's always good to do a trade where both people end up winners.

Royal Carnage T-shirt (Thanks Jay! Nice design!)

Yeah man, thanks - but it's just the first run. I promise the second one will be better. For some reason, the guy minimized the logo on the front by like 25%, and of course the text over the moon gets a little absorbed (where it looks fine on a computer screen). We know what to fix now. I hope it's not too big? We can only get batches in one size so XL seemed like the safe bet.

 

[Erik]

It's somewhat big but it'll probably shrink a little when washed.

Manes - Under Ein Blodraud Maane

Have they re-pressed this or something? It's been OOP for a while.

In Flames - Lunar Strain (I've never actually heard this, heh)

Their best...

Immortal - Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism

Their best...

Setherial - Nord

Their best...

Death Angel - The Ultra Violence (OOP and HTF - I can't believe I found this here)

Got it on vinyl. Good.

Rapture - Futile

Not as good as SFTW, but solid.

At the Gates - The Red in the Sky is Ours DIGIPAK

Their best... Although I'm skeptical to remastering this record as they've done on the digipaks... Oh well.

 

[Erik]

Ordered from The End:
Antimatter "Saviour" +2 CD
Bathory "Hammerheart" (Yes, I know. I should've owned this years ago) CD
Ulver "A Quick Fix of Melancholy" MCD
Ulver "Vargnatt" 10"

 

[Ayeka]

Trade arrived today:

Bathory - Bathory, The return, Under The Sign Of The Black Mark

Playing 'em all through now. I've been listening to Bathory for three years and can't believe it's taken me this long to get hold of these albums. Feels just like the first time I listened to 'em. Fucking class.

Ghoul - Maniaxe

I'm obsessed with this record right now. It's so fucking good, it will easily be in my top 10 list at the end of the year.

 

[bloodfiredeath]

oh... my other recent acquisitions. Have I mentioned Ghoul is the greatest band ever?

Impaled/Heamorrhage split
Legion - Awakened Fury / Bloodaeon
Paganizer - Murder Death Kill / Dead Unburied
Fleshgrind - Murder Without End
Lord Gore - The Autophagous Orgy
Embalming Theatre - Sweet Chainsaw Melodies

 

[JayKeeley]

Have I mentioned Ghoul is the greatest band ever?

Really? Tell us more. Death? Grind?

Fleshgrind - Murder Without End

Hey! I did a review of this one. Not too bad - pretty violent actually. And they look like mean bastards too.

 

[Erik]

Seems like I'm the most frequent hauler here lately...

Arckanum/Contamino split 7"
Evoken "Quietus" CD
Moonsorrow "Tama Ikuinen Talvi" MC (second demo)
Wiccan Rede "From Transylvanian Forests" MC (Negurã Bunget's demo)
Windir "Det Gamle Riket" MC (Demo)

 

[NAD]

Seems like I'm the most frequent hauler here lately...

I've been real good about not buying CDs lately... but honestly I'm just waiting for The End to get Crimson II so I can make a large purchase.

 

[JayKeeley]

Seems like I'm the most frequent hauler here lately...

Well, maybe - but my last batch did contain 12!

Moonsorrow "Tama Ikuinen Talvi" MC (second demo)
Wiccan Rede "From Transylvanian Forests" MC (Negurã Bunget's demo)
Windir "Det Gamle Riket" MC (Demo)

Holy mother, where on earth....You got the Wiccan Rede too? I even asked Negru for that one... You are so da man it 'aint funny. Fix me up bro.

 

[Demonspell]

Damn, I'd like to get my hands on that Moonsorrow demo...

 

[Erik]

Heh... I have my sources. The Arckanum/Contamino split is long sold out from most distros as well...

Damn, I'd like to get my hands on that Moonsorrow demo...

Can probably be arranged. Not sure whether there were more copies than the one I ordered.

I'll let both of you know by means of a PM where you can (maybe) get the demos as soon as my order has been sent. If you don't want to order them, let me know and I can probably make you CD-R's or something, as soon as I've received them.

 

[JayKeeley]

I can probably make you CD-R's or something, as soon as I've received them.

Yeah mate, that's fine by me - just chuck it in with the others. You rule.

 

[Erik]

Well, I've sent off the the first CD-R already, and I haven't actually received the above tapes yet, so you'll have to wait a bit.

 

[JayKeeley]

Well, I've sent off the the first CD-R already

Wow that was efficient - are you sure you're not secretly German?

and I haven't actually received the above tapes yet, so you'll have to wait a bit.

No now! Gimme gimme! Yeah no worries.
