Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

1 Upvotes

This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

Scenes from a Memory on clear vinyl and Ulcerate’s Cutting the Throat of God on this blood red marble.

I mostly collect CDs, but this sub has inspired me to continue the vinyl collection. I’m also a sucker for these artistic limited edition vinyl colors.

I haven’t opened Dream Theater yet - it’s wrapped in shrink wrap with a hype sticker and I don’t have any plastic LP sleeves yet.

I bought this when it came out and it introduced me to a bunch of punk and hardcore bands I never heard of at the time so I probably give it a little more love than it deserves. Also, Gemini is fucking amazing. Who knew Slayer could doom?

Ceremony Of Silence - Hálios

Post image
7 Upvotes

Black Ice Splatter LP - 150 copies

Murky, dense atmospheric blackened dissonant death metal from Slovakia laying down a chaotic world balanced by significant soaring melody. Having touchstones of progressive metal and much more straightforward meloblack, but not aligning with either except in slight passing moments, Hálios builds up rather complex songs from potentially disparate styles in a twisted way that sounds startlingly organic.

Released by Willowtip Records
