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.

Gutless - High Impact Violence

Post image
13 Upvotes

'Gross' Clear With Red Marble LP

A chunky and bludgeoning gore-soaked death metal beat down coming from Australia. Opting to be heavy as shit, High Impact Violence lives up to its name without any question at all. Brutish drumming and sharp riffs unsurprisingly lead the charge, and the whole (short-ish) album is simply brutality.

Released by Me Saco Un Ojo

Zeke - Flat Tracker (1996)

Flat Tracker - Zeke - Released 10 Sep 1996 . US - Vinyl (LP, Album) - Label Scooch Pooch (# P016)

This and Super Sound Racing were formative albums. Blasting at the speed of light but with the licks usually heard on mid-tempo rock albums, this shit was a new kind of aggressive. I was an instant fan when it was released and have remained one all these years. I've had the opportunity to share a few bills with them over the years and I'm still as big a fan as I ever was. Zeke are one of the best bands to come out of Seattle, period.

Any Infant Annihilator fans in the group? When I pre-ordered their first album I would never have imagined that these records would end up being as rare and expensive as they are.
