Do you have Bethlehem's Profane Fetmilch lenzt elf krank? It's a very cool EP that I don't listen to much, and I know how you like to collect everything from a band. If you're interested, let me know.

Oh and it's got boobies on the front cover:

 

[J.]

this is my first exposure to the band, so I don't know what to expect. I hear good things though. I'm going into this one with an open mind, 'cause I've heard they're weird.

Sabbat "History of a Time to Come" LP
Sabbat "Dreamweaver" LP

Woah. Original issues? Have they even been re-issued!!? Very cool haul.

 

[Erik]

They're originals and cost me less than $10 each, so nyah nyah.

 

[MadeInNewJersey]

Erik, you should be getting your Testament disc from me any day now, btw.

 

[Erik]

Great!

 

[J.]

how is Sabbat? I currently have the opportunity to trade for a Sabbat album.

 

[Erik]

Eh, if it's "Mourning has Broken" don't bother. I'll get back to you on the others; I haven't been able to listen to any of my new vinyls yet.

Heh, I've seen the CDs sell on eBay for about $50 a piece. I bought both mine for $40 Australian ($30 USD) total. Not sure what the vinyls are worth, but either way, they are rarities.

About six months ago, The End Records managed to get a few copies of History of a Time to Come, and I told everyone about it here, but did they listen? Did they fuck.

Put it this way, not only are those two albums rare as hell, they're probably some of the best thrash to come out of that era - British Pagan Thrash with Andy Sneap on guitar and Martin Walkyier on vocals. Destroys anything that Skyclad ever did - especially Dreamweaver.

Erik - I actually thought you already had these albums...(were they downloads then?). And yes, Mourning Has Broken is the weakest of the three, not rare, not good, with Walkyier gone walkabout, hehehehe.

 

[Erik]

If you've seen songs in my NP box it's because I have a live LP (Kreator/Tankard/Sabbat/Coroner) with live renditions of "Hosianna In Excelsis", "For Those Who Died" and "I For An Eye". I also have the Walkyier-less affair on CD and I can't say I like it at all.

There's a "History..." on CD for $13.99 Buy It Now on eBay currently for what it's worth.

Blut Aus Nord - The Mystical Beast of Rebellion
Bill Frisell - Quartet

 

[Erik]

Just FYI, the 10" by The Chasm that I bought is pretty fucking excellent it seems.

 

[J.]

dude, I've been telling people THe Chasm is awesome, but no one listens to me, eventhough I'm 90% of the time correct and I rule.

 

[Erik]

I know you have. Why do you think I bought it in the first place? SMILE SMILE

*watches as tears of joy roll down Dreamlord's face*

 

[Nate The Great]

I recently bought The Chasm - Deathcult for Eternity: The Triumph from Papa Josh. Is this a different The Chasm than you guys are listening to. It kind of sucks. The occasional power metal shrieks don't do it for me.

 

[Erik]

Hah! That's like the best part. Any good thrash/death should have falsetto screams every now and then.

Oh, and with this post I claim post #2000 in the thread in the name of THRASH METAL TERROR.
