MUSIC VIDEO LIVE! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngpd38ruqxo - PRE-ORDERS LIVE!

The band is giving an early preview of the highly-awaited new album with a video for “I Dream In Lines” Release date: February 1st, 2019. Track list: 1. A New Color 2. I Dream In Lines 3. Lost 4. Fault 5. Breathe 6. Water 7. I Wish I Was There While The Sun Set 8. Beyond The Scope 9. Ideal World

Ah yeah, I'm with you. Putting in a lot of extra effort to make things affordable in USA (it's a big country where you can ship across it for very cheaply) and tons of people still trying to sh*t on it. I would love to see one record release where there are 0 complaints, even tried to make it happen on this go but nope ... still always a few !

So much speculation on here: * The Perturbator vinyl craze has died down. Oh it has? I didn't even mention this was live anywhere, and this was his biggest launch ever. * $13 is too much to ship within the USA. I am located in Helsinki Finland, and I have to maintain two warehouses and also have to pay someone to ship for me in USA - I think that's a pretty small price to pay because paying to ship to you from Finland would probably be 40+ EUR. * $30 is too much to ship within Europe. Well as far as I know, shipping a ~2kg package within Europe from almost any other country besides Germany will run you a pretty penny. -- Thank you to everyone who supported thus far! And yeah, IT'S ALL LIVE FOR PRE-ORDER: http://www.blood-music.com/store

Honestly one of the best responses I've gotten so far cause most people just shout what a fuckface I am and how they hope I go bankrupt and become a destitute failure in life until I kill myself. Kudos to you man for being honest with yourself, haha.

Yes, as some have stated, this is a one-person label. I have never not shipped someone's order. This is also not my first foray into large box sets, it's my third. And overall it's my fifth box set release ever. Quite frankly, there is nothing to worry about. But, I understand people will worry even if I say that. The main points are that I have been doing this now for several years, tons of releases, and even some similar stuff. Also, this is a legally registered business within Finland, and the entire company would fall into a tailspin of legal complications if I decided not to comply with my own sales terms, completely ruining the label or any future opportunities for myself or my artists. Also, I spent 2,5 years designing and building this set, the final parts are put it for sale, wait for the manufacturing to finish, and shipping them out. Basically, the most difficult work is done. There are no reasons for me to flake on the set whatsoever because the downsides for not following through are far worse than actually just putting it for sale and finishing it. Here is the full 3D mock of the marble edition. Emperor "The Complete Works" Box Set - MARBLE EDITION Transparent blue base with black marble vinyl. Limited to 222 copies. 50 center labels 26 heavyweight inner sleeves 24 heavyweight LPs 10 heavyweight triple-gatefold jackets 4 heavy card stock inserts 3 posters 1 heavyweight 7" 1 92-page hardcover book 1 heavyweight 7" gatefold jacket 1 two-part heavy-board outer box 1 slipmat 1 cassette tape (for 2015 orders only) 1 signed lyrics sheet (for 2015 orders only) * Please note that the records are pressed by hand with actual physical materials, so the amount of marbling will vary from record to record.

PRE-ORDER: September 17th at 5PM Finnish time (10AM NYC). RELEASE: November 4th. Blood Music will be presenting the sixth album from Russian/Ukrainian underground post-rock/funeral doom masters, Kauan. The album, entitled "Muistumia" (meaning - "Reminiscences"), will see its first time printing on digipack CD and ultra-limited edition 2xLP. Additionally, we will have long-lost copies of the 2xLP first pressing of the band's most well-known album - "Aava Tuulen Maa" that were thought lost into the north of Finland. About "Muistumia": Through Kauan's growth and experimentation, its sound and production has vastly improved since its humble beginnings as a band of teenagers in remote Chelyabinsk, Russia. It was decided while in between labels to privately crowdfund the professional recording of a collection of re-arranged tracks from the band's early years. The band re-recorded six of the main tracks from the albums "Lumikuuro" and "Tietäjän Laulu" in addition to the recording of a brand new song called "Unsoi." The release was intended only for a core group of 53 individuals, but the demand for the release was too high. It is now being presented in a limited run of high-quality digipack editions with official artwork. The closing track / re-recorded version of "Orkidea" can be heard here: Kauan "Muistumia" 2xLP * First-time pressing of Kauan's beautiful 6th album. * 180-gram+ White (250 copies) or Black (150 copies) 2xLP * Mastered specifically for vinyl from the 24-bit original mixes. * Contains two bonus tracks - an early texture sketch, entitled "Nuotio" and the Summoning cover track "Long Lost To Where No Pathway Goes." * 350gsm heavyweight gatefold jacket with reverse-board rough-coated printing. * Black inner sleeves. Kauan "Muistumia" CD Limited edition of 1000 copies in 4-panel, rough-coated, reverse-board digipack. Kauan "Aava Tuulen Maa" 2xLP First-time pressing of Kauan's most well-loved album. The original label had difficulty selling copies, sold only 100 of them and stuck the others into an obscure book shop in the north of Finland. We tracked them down and are putting the rest of the copies for sale, now five years later.

Thanks man! Their loss.

PRE-ORDER: August 20th at 5PM Finnish time (10AM NYC). RELEASE: October 28th. Blood Music will be releasing special editions of three excellent modern classics in the progressive metal realm.

Concurrently, ex-members of Cynic have joined forces to create one of the most chilled out yet mindbending wonders in the form of progressive jazz metal band Exivious.

Ben with two different fans in two different cities. He seems to be wearing the same shirt.

Blood Music is extremely, incredibly proud to announce the greatest extreme metal band of all-time to its roster - Emperor! We've been working behind-the-scenes for more than a year - carefully compiling every detail of Emperor's oeuvre from the minute they began in 1991 until their final breath in 2007. We are working directly in conjunction with the members themselves to compile the most incredible, beautiful, and archival collection one could ever imagine into a massive COMPLETE WORKS box set, due to be released in approximately one year. This will be the first time the band's music will be properly remastered for vinyl, as well as presented in true vinyl special editions of any kind. An insane honor for us to take part in. Start saving your money this minute. The box set will be a one-time only, limited edition pressing. There will be no copies of our records outside the box set this time. This will be a unique offering that will make a massive mark upon the history of metal and quickly vanish into thin air. Oh, and it will be the largest metal box set of all-time (beating out our Moonsorrow set) and one of the largest box sets ever created in the history of music. So really ... if you want in on this. Start saving now. Early-to-mid 2015.

Thanks! And glad to hear Beyond Creation has arrived well! We were really happy with how those came out!
