What kind of marketing ploy is this?

its called making a living. It's what musicians do. Besides that, Not many people in the US know about Bloodbath except for those who are into Opeth, Katatonia, Dan Swano, and Hypocrisy/Pain.

Over there, metal is a bigger scene, so of course the vinyl NMF is going to be released there first.

No shit!
Well, they must have had very few copies.
Somabitch, I should have ordered one instead of bitching about not
having the CD.
Century Media sent me a note saying they had no information on the
release date here in the states! sheeesh!
 
BW and BK has stated that a tentative date is Feb. 8th.
Man, that is messed up!

sorry if it was mentioned already in the forum meanwhile, I am not here on a daily basis. But I found the Vinyl being sold at Nuclear Blast, www.nuclearblast.de and the order status says that it´s in fact available (I was in the German language section, but they have an English one, too, and I doubt it be different there).


You can get both at Amazon.com in the UK.
Mine should be here tomorrow! whoohoo!
 
I ordered the vinyl from amazon.co.uk ... been getting very nervous since :( Release date was originally meant to be Oct. 10th, then it was pushed back to tomorrow (25th) now it says Nov. 1st ... wish they'd make up their minds.

Just checked it out and they do have it in stock. Can those shipping rates be right though???? 9 E to the UK and 21 E to the US? Plus, you have to spend a minimum of 16 E before shipping! Ouch.
 
In the merchandise section on bloodbath.biz, the merchandise used to be in US dollars with shipping included and everything, but now it's in Euros and the prices didnt change. For example the t-shirt went from being 25US to 25Euros, is there a mistake or did they just raize the prices extremely high?
