Haven't heard it yet, unfortunately - my tape player conveniently shat and died on the very day I received that batch of tapes. I'll see if I can get it working sometime later this week.

Just ordered a Christmas haul:

Dimmu Borgir - For All Tid (2000 reissue)
Dimmu Borgir - Enthrone Darkness Triumphant (Russian version with the bonus tracks)
Dimmu Borgir - Abrahadabra
Immortal - Damned In Black (Limited edition with the artwork that doesn't suck)
Immortal - Sons Of Northern Darkness
Mayhem - Live In Leipzig
Mutiilation - Vampires Of Black Imperial Blood (2012 reissue)
Ov Hell - The Underworld Regime
Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times
Thorns - Thorns (2011 reissue)

Edit: some additions, as I had some extra cash left

Marillion-Anoraknophobia (2LP, 2012 reissue)

Helstar - 30 Years Of Hel (DVD/2-CD)

Makes me think about how I only have four Helstar studio albums: A Distant Thunder, Nosferatu, King Of Hell and Glory Of Chaos. Any suggestions on where to go from here?

Blind Guardian - A Twist in the Myth
Bluegrass All Stars - Sixteen Grand Slams From Sugar Hill Records
Diamond Head - Lightning to the Nations
Root - The Book
Fiddler On The Roof - Soundtrack
Slough Feg - Atavism

The Blind Guardian, Bluegrass All Stars & Fiddler on the Roof were all blind used book store purchases. All excellent. The rest were ordered online. The Root album is some kind of burn-on-demand Amazon.com copy, though, which is kind of disappointing.

Also awaiting:
Xasthur - Defective Epitaph
Nocturnal Poisoning - Other Worlds of the Mind
Mgla - With Hearts Towards None
Slough Feg - Traveller ( & Traveller t-shirt)

If you dig early USPM with a bit of NWOBHM flavoring you should definitely snag the debut. I'm pretty sure it's readily available for pretty cheap, especially if you don't mind a used copy. I only have Burning Star and Nosferatu, and I vastly prefer the debut. They got a little too thrashy and technical for my tastes on Nosferatu. Still need to explore the releases between.

JK Flesh - Posthuman

It's great to hear Justin Broadrick doing heavy stuff again.

Went on a cd buying spree, bought about 60 psych, krautrock, canterbury scene, etc cds and 7 of them arrived today:

Tangerine dream- atem
Tangerine dream- electronic meditation
Pekka pohjola- pihkasilma kaarnakorva
Armageddon- s/t
Khan- space shanty
Thin white rope- moonhead plus
Manuel gottsching- E2-E4

I probably listen to Zeit more, but Electronic Meditation will always be my favorite Tangerine Dream album. Some of it probably has to do with nostalgia, and it being my first, but MORE IMPORTANTLY those fucking guitar freak-outs are so cool! By far the most "band" sounding TD album.

got these privately today

The Tea Party ‎– The Edges Of Twilight [oz version]
Lost Highway Soundtrack [canadian version]
Fantômas - Delìrivm Còrdia [another us version...]
Faith No More - Angel Dust [uk repress, or possibly just 'european']

Disgrace - Grey Misery
Disgrace - 1990
Running Wild - Gates To Purgatory
Sentenced - North From Here

Today I bought the following albums:

Bathory- Hammerheart
Bathory- Nordland I
Dark Angel- Darkness Descends
Dark Angel- Leave Scars
Darkthrone- Transilvanian Hunger
Death- Spiritual Healing
Death- Individual Thought Patterns
Death- The Sound of Perseverance
Dissection- The Somberlain
Exodus- Impact Is Imminent
Exodus- Force of Habit
Immortal- Blizzard Beasts
King Diamond- The Graveyard
Marduk- Opus Nocturne
Sadus- Swallowed in Black
Sepultura- Schizophrenia
Suffocation- Effigy of the Forgotten
Suffocation- Pierced From Within

Most of them were but there were a few reissues mixed in as well. Doesn't really bother me though. I spent 320 bucks on all of those CDs haha!

good job!
i always feel awesome when i fork over a shitload of cash aye ha ha
one day i'll own an original Leave Scars

A lot of good in this one. Nice.

I'll trade my vinyl copy for something from you.

yeah? hit me up in my for sale thread if you like, i have a couple of new additions to add.

Sweet. Will shoot you a pm when I have more time for photos and stuff

ok man, sweet! just let me know what you had in mind too so i can get them together sort of thing.

by the way is everyone else subscribed to this thread?

Finally got my hands on an Immolation - Providence Ep.

you bought it or got it for free? they are meant to be 'releasing' it proper at some point.

Anyone who knows me on here knows how obsessed I am with Anneke and the gathering, so absolutely chuffed to bits to get this Some of those stickers will be going on my guitar too!

Disinter-Desecrated (Old school Chicago Death Metal)
Destroyer 666-Unchain The Wolves (Modern Invasion 1st Press) Not bad for 5 Bucks

Root - The Book
Root - Hell Symphony / Kargeras

Amorphis - The Beginning of Times
Solstfir - Svartir Sandar

The last item, based on a couple of tracks heard in the car, is pretty certainly the worst thing they've released. All hail the bargain bin!

Yeah, along with The Ghost right next to it, it's the band's worst album. The latest one is killer, though.

I've enjoyed Deadlight and Soundscape of Silence as background music, but this does not work in that context. Meh...

Very quiet week for me, but I got two tapes today:





Kêres - In Impenetrable Darkness
Cosmic Church - Syysauringon Vihkimys

Some more of the cds I ordered came today:




White noise- an electric storm

Broselmachine- s/t
The fall- the wonderful and frightening world
Emtidi- saat
The dream syndicate- live at raji's
Out of focus- wake up
Townes van zandt- live at the old quarter
Dead kennedys- plastic surgery disasters (not pictured)

Just a tape in the mail today:


Velnias - untitled tour EP (2010)

returned from a flea market with this firstpress CD for 1 Euro:

Broselmaschine has an interesting sound.

Well, I was hoping to pick up Dagor Dagorath - Yetzer Ha'Ra for the cheap off eBay. But other bidders have sent it out of my desired price range. Good work. Now that CD gets added to the mental backburner.

You German folk are all kinds of lucky with your flea markets. Granted, I once left my local flea market carrying a Branded And Exiled LP, but they haven't had much metal for a long, long time. PR is one of the two Running Wild albums I have yet to procure.

Flea markets and used cd stores fucking rule that's actually where I buy a decent portion of my cds. Last night I just bought Nevermore Dreaming Neon Black, Into Eternity Dead or Dreaming and a cd from a local band Rosenguard Requiem for the Innocent. Also there was a Bewitched (Chile) cd that I passed on but it's bothering me so I'm gonna go back today and buy it
