Random Experimental Haul

[J.]

It's my day off and I was bored, so I decided to truck it on over to Vinal Edge. Here's what I walked out with, for a grand total of $34.60

Dawn - Slaughtersun (Crown of the Triarchy)
Yeah, I already have an original, but I figured this would be good trade bait.


Sleep - Volume 1
Didn't like these some years ago when I heard them, but I thought "what the hell" and gave it a shot.


The Obsessed - The Church Within
I knew this was one of Wino's projects and I've always wanted to hear him. I listened to this on the way home and now I know where Slow Horse got a lot of influence (other than Sabbath). Good stuff. The sun is shining. [/iofthestorm]


Sadus - A Vision of Misery
This was my "free" CD, snce I have a buy-8-used-CDs-and-get-one-free card. It's an R/C label original with Steve Digiorgio on bass, so "what the hell" yet again.


Iron Maiden - Piece of Mind
The EMI original from '83, I figured I should at least see what all the hoopla is about, so I can give the authoritative Maiden opinion.

If they all fail, oh well, good trade bait. And I like doing this once every so often. It's fun, especially if you find something you didn't think youd like all that much.

The dude also gave me the Mord - Christendom Perished promo.

 

[Nate The Great]

Tell me what you think of Mord. It took several listens for me to catch on to it.

WIN!!!

Sell me that Sleep album if'n you don't like it.

From what I understand it's their weakest offering.

 

[J.]

it wasnt horrible, but it's just not my thang. im sure a dope-metal enthusiast would love it

 

[Dead_Lioness]

Sadus win.


Sadus always win

 

[J.]

the sadus is pretty good actually. better than slayer!

 

[jimbobhickville]

yeah, sadus is good stuff. I'm one of the odd men out that thinks they got better on each release. Some prefer the rawer, thrashier, early material. And some people think Forbidden Evil is better than Twisted Into Form, which obviously makes them insane

[Nate The Great]

Put that Mord on to ease the pain of hearing that Iron Maiden.



Actually, I like Iron Maiden, but my natural instinct to rebel has caused me to ignore the band since they get non-stop worship around here.

 

[J.]

Maiden wasn't bad. I cant certainly see why they are praised, especially taken in the context that it was released back in '83. But this did nothing for me. I am very glad I heard them though.

Listening to Mord right now.

 

[Nate The Great]

I listened to that Mord once or twice, didn't think much of it, put it away for a couple weeks, then got it back out (because I needed to review it), and after a few more listens I really started to like it.

 

[Hell Mike]

IRAN FUCKEN MADMENS!!!

I think it's hysterical that there could be someone posting on this board who hadn't heard an Iron Maiden album. You had at least heard some of their stuff before, right?

 

[J.]

a few songs here and there. after hearing Piece of Mind, I have no desire to hear Maiden again. but Im glad I did.

 

[Hell Mike]

You're a fucking idiot

UNPURE TWISTED LOGIC NOW DIE

 

[jimbobhickville]

I think Maiden would be great if they replaced Dickinson with a singer that had passed puberty.

Sorry, had to be said (putting on flame-retardant jacket).

 

[En Vind Av Sorg]

I take it you dont like real singers then.
