Those that remember me from the DF days have some idea of my Cave In collection. This jump to Relapse marks the end of my upkeep. I can't contend with the price or amount of limited variants they churn out. Fucking fifteen years of doing everything in my power to keep this collection complete, dashed away in an Instagram post. It makes me sick to my stomach.

No action here, so these are hitting discogs now as singles. Lot prices are not carrying over though.

Purge time. And no, I'm not breaking these collections up. Most of these haven't been played for years, and are in pretty good shape, but defects will be noted. All prices in CAD based on median Discogs sales with condition taken into account. Shipping IS NOT included and will be paid by the buyer based on location. Since these are big packages, ballpark at least $30 within NA, and $50+ overseas - for tracking/insurance, double those prices (thanks, Canada Post). Caspian: $180CAD - You Are the Conductor (1st press, clear brown, /100) - 3" crease on right side front/back of jacket, 2" hairline crease on left side front/back of jacket, seam splits on all sides of printer inner sleeve. - The Four Trees (1st press, white/beer split, /500) - slight ding on bottom right corner of jacket. - Tertia (1st press, beer w/ maroon haze, /100) - minimal corner wear on jacket, excellent condition. - Waking Season (1st press, 180g black, /300) - minor bottom corner dings and ring wear on jacket. - Caspian/Constants split 7" (gold w/ haze, /500) - slight corner wear. If These Trees Could Talk: $180CAD - S/T (1st press, clear w/ orange haze, /150) - minor scuffs and ring wear on jacket. - Above the Earth... (1st press, ice blue, /100) - seam split on bottom of printed inner sleeve. - Red Forest (1st press, highlighter yellow w/ splatter, /200) - harsh 1" seam splits on top and left of jacket and same with printed inner sleeve. Ulcerate: $150CAD - Destroyers of All (1st press, clear, /170) - seam split on top of jacket, minor corner dings and ring wear on jacket, - Vermis (1st press, gold, /300) - minimal corner wear on jacket and printed inner sleeves. - Shrines of Paralysis (1st press, gold w/ splatter, /500) - slightest crease to right side front of jacket, seam split on one side of a/b printed inner sleeve. Whirr/Whirl cassettes: $90CAD - Demo #28/80 - Distressor Bridgetown 2nd edition - Pipe Dreams - Part Time Punks #54/200 - Around - Sway - some faded printing on the cassette shell. And some cheaper stuff. If you have questions on condition, PM me: Constants: $50 OBO - Murder of Tom Fitzgerril (180g black, /200) - The Foundation...3xlp (brown/silver/clear, /100) - If Tomorrow the War (red, /125) - Passiflora (opaque purple, /100) Kerretta: $50 OBO - Death in the Future 7" (black, green screenprint) - Antient (grey, /300) - Vilayer (black, /500) - Saansilo (black, /400) - Pirohia (black, /500) - His Streets of Honey...7" (silver/black center, /100) After this is over, I'll start putting single items up... Thanks for looking!

the new track fucks.

You're the only other guy I've seen around here that's on the RoD board, glad you're repping some underground stuff. Not that anyone will give a shit, but: Albums: 1. Rope Sect - The Great Flood 2. Cénotaphe - Monte Verità 3. Lure - Morbid Funeral 4. Circle of Ouroborus - Viimeinen Juoksu 5. Akhlys - Melinoë 6. Fluisteraars - Bloem 7. Núll - Entity 8. Black Curse - Endless Wound 9. Shiner - Schadenfreude 10. Eternal Champion - Ravening Iron (and I hate power metal) 11. Maquahuitl - At the Altar of Mictlampa 12. Soft Kill - Dead Kids RIP City 13. Turia - Degen van Licht 14. Imperial Triumphant - Alphaville 15. Spirit Possession - S/T EPs/Splits/Demos: 1. Vonlaus - Röð slæmra ákvarðana 2. Serpent Column - Endless Detainment 3. Pan-Amerikan Native Front /Ifernach - Split 4. Kyriss - Olden Ruins & Miry Depths 5. Hajduk - EP Trilogy (technically released at the end of 2019, but whatever)

fuck. had to check out 3 times to get that bundle exclusive, shirt sizes I chose kept selling out. if anyone wants that hideous red shirt in XL, let me know.

lluvia - premonicion de guerra - $25 shipped necrophagist - onset of putrefaction (solid orange /100) first press - improperly listed as the /800 version - 36£ shipped. isis - celestial (red & yellow on escape artist) first press - free after the seller never accepted my payment and subsequently disappeared.

haven't listened to anything since "VII", but this is pretty damn awesome. guess I'll have to go back now.

and given the exact previous conversation in this thread, it makes the whole situation more funny.

a little disappointed to have missed the opportunity to purchase, but that's the way things go these days. i'm glad most folks have welcomed them back (the speed the lp sold out seems evidence enough) after their self-induced fiasco, i figured they would've remained on nearly everyone else's shit-list forever. i certainly won't be paying flipper prices for FLY, but hopefully the band sees the benefit in doing another press or a cassette version. there's really no point to this post, i don't know what i'm doing here.

if anyone has gets the subscription color and they don't care for it, please PM me. will pay a bit extra for it as well, to make it worth your while.

very excited for this. in for red.

someone rip that vinyl asap!

thanks to working an overnighter last night, I missed the yellow this morning, and it hurts like a son of a bitch. if anyone is willing to help me, and comes across a copy of the yellow variant anywhere, please buy it and I will pay you double for your assistance. most knew me as 'the cave in guy' on DF, though I'm sure very few know me on here, but I must do whatever I can to keep my complete collection up to date and alive.

so. nearly 2 years in. still waiting.

i haven’t posted on VC (or anywhere really) in ages, and for the most part i’ve kept my cave in obsession to myself. some of the old guarde of deadformat may recall me making a thread about cave in a few years ago, but that’s all lost now. since then, i’ve had no further need or desire to talk about cave in with the internet at large, but caleb’s passing has changed my mind. i took it as a sign that i should try my best to share what i have with anyone that might want it. high quality cassette demo rips, vinyl only release rips, rare cd material, photos/info of just about every version of every release. tell me what you’d like here or via PM, or by chance there is actually enough interest in this, i can start a cave in thread in the general chat forum. cheers to caleb.

got mine yesterday. looks great, though the UV print titles of the albums on the front of the box is pretty tacky. the box has the side opening, so you can see the spines of all the albums, which i much prefer to the type of boxsets that need to be opened/sorted through to find the album you want/have those bullshit flimsy lids. the jackets/artwork are good quality, though the printed inner sleeves are sometimes lacking (the older albums only having black and white printing) but each lp comes in a poly lined black dust cover so you'd never need to use the printed inners anyway. it's hard to tell in that picture, and i didn't notice it the first time i looked, but there's a very slight green splatter on chaos ad and it rules. i've only listened to BTR so far, but the sound/pressing quality was very good, no pops, no warping whatsoever. even if these are done with a digital master from rhino, i'm fine with it. i understand roots is far too long for a single lp, but it will be getting the least amount of play of all of these albums, so it's not a big deal. for the price, this box is outta the ballpark.

fuckin great news.

if you're referring to the ELHR presses, 1st press has mis-stamped center labels. sides b and c are switched (i think? i didn't get up to check for sure).
