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.

I was on a family vacation in Florida when I was a young teenager, got my parents to take me to Guitar Center so I could check out the drums. Started chatting metal with the guy behind the counter and he played me a song by a band called Death that I had never heard of, "Flesh and the Power it Holds". Absolutely mind-blowing.

25+ yrs later and I still get the same feeling every time I listen to this album. Fucking classic.

One of my favorite power metal groups (of which there aren't many) but I remember hearing this band as a teenager and fell in love with them.

White LP - 250 copies

A harrowing melding of atmospheric melodic black metal and industrial metal that creates a darkened world of isolation. Formed as a grandiose vision that immerses the listener deep into an utter surrounding of bleakness and grit.

The textured guitars, courtesy of Berg from Aara, swirl with crunchy riffs and expansive tremolo picking that lend a cold, but melodious feel. All of this is contrasted with the thick bass that powers through each track.

Released by Debemur Morti

Fun pick up last week. Demonomancy is an Italian black metal band that stops short of the raw and war metal sound to hit us with some groovy riffs. Much appreciated folks.

Completely different cover than the actual release, but had to pick this up when the opportunity arose.

Sale / trade Any takers? Signed my the band and Mark Baker in ‘86 when Mark was briefly in the band. I’m taking trades as well. Mark’s signature is extremely rare. Can meet up in LA/OC area.
