Fuck what everyone else wants until they finally press Holding a Wolf By the Ears.

The only part he was joking about was that he bought one to play.

Let It Fold You.

https://www.hobbylobby.com/custom-framing I went to the store in person though.

Yeah that song was very background music for me. I honestly couldn't tell you that was a new song or one from an album 8 years ago. They need to evolve, at least a little bit.

Fuck this thread.

Pictures of the variants are up at the below link, can see about 15 different ones lol...the links still don't seem to show anything yet though. Seems to be some sort of boxset version in the back of the photo... Guess we will see what happens in the next few hours https://www.metalblade.com/cultofluna/

I swear there was a guy on this messaging board years ago who said he bought 3 copies of every record: 1 to play, 1 to keep sealed and sell at the top of market value for himself, and 1 to keep sealed and sell at the top of market value to put toward his kids' college tuitions. It was almost definitely a troll account, but the concept of that is still hilarious to me.

Actually, jokes aside, there was this dude in a Facebook group for Boris who was gloating about keeping his latest purchases not only sealed, but contained within their mailers. I'm not sure if he thought that exposure to air would somehow taint the music but he received so much flack for the post – rightfully so – that he initially got defensive over other people "telling [him] how to spend [his] money", but quickly removed his posts when he couldn't keep up with the text abuse. I'll never forget that guy. One of his main interests on Facebook was sourdough bread.

It's like a car, once you let it leave the lot (packaging) it drops a fucking lot in value so I just never take anything out of the package.. I stream the album while looking at the sealed vinyl beauty in my hands and sometimes I even imagine just how much better it would sound but this boy here is not leaving the lot! I got 2k vinyl so I don't need to tell you how good my retirement is going to be once I cash in 🤑

Cult Of Luna continues to stay productive. I would have never thought that we would see new album again in 2022. Release date is February 11th and pre-orders go live December 1st. New song arrives on tuesday: Johannes Persson posted on Instagram that album will have "interesting guests": https://www.instagram.com/p/CV2quVjoldS/ 1. Cold Burn 2. The Silver Arc 3. Beyond I 4. An Offering to the Wind 5. Into the Night 6. Full Moon 7. The Long Road North 8. Blood upon Stone 9. Beyond II I think we will have about 90-100 different vinyl variants again. Edit: Some small new info here: https://metalshockfinland.com/tag/cult-of-luna/ "As soon as listeners hit play, they are in familiar yet refreshingly new CULT OF LUNA territory, the pulsating rhythms pummeling, and Persson’s savage roar tearing through the layers of guitar. As is the case with every album from the band in recent years, there is a lot of shifting of dynamics and sonic density, and perhaps more so than usual on The Long Road North. “It’s a big sounding album, almost cinematic,” the band states."

Ironic that the Ocean Ave repress was less than 1500 copies.

They also pressed When Goodbye Means Forever! I grabbed it along with MFTRD!

@Gumbo72203 🇺🇸 US folks: https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecords/search?q=cult+of+luna P.S. code mbrxmas21 for %15 off your order. P.S.S. The Dawn To Fear boxset is on sale at $45 too (I actually ended up picking that up as well).

KP and HM are both managed by Property of Zack kid, so they're following the same formula. I'm sure KP are stick around headlining until they can start doing headlining anniversary tours.

knuckle puck is on wax bodega with hot mulligan, so label mates now

I'm hoping for a repress of Thursday's 'No Devolución'!

I guess since I want a copy of this, I'll have to start watching these sites. I can give one of my secrets away. There's a Chrome extension called Distill that is perfect for this type of situation. The extension can monitor a webpage for changes at a given interval. I just selected to monitor the "SOLD OUT" button on the Rock Bottom page every 3 minutes.

It is, along with red marbled variant: https://www.indiemerch.com/metalbladerecords/band/cult-of-luna

9am AEDT tomorrow. Whatever that means.

4pm CST today I believe.

Condition on everything should be near mint. I’ll post that in OP. If I see anything funky I’ll make sure to post. ”Up” just meant I posted the first record. I can see why that verbiage would be a bit confusing. I’ll update!

Finally watched new Candyman last night. I actually really enjoyed it. There were a couple things I was kind of confused about but maybe that’s because I kept trying to use the logic from the first movie? I don’t know. Either way though I thought it was great.

I remember him and honestly didn’t think he was joking.

This might be one of the worst decisions I've seen a label make...

I ordered mine from RockBottom. their 'notify me when back in stock' actually worked. Got the email and just yolo'd it. Never sent me an order confirmation, but money moved on Paypal so I assume its in the works. Ill let yall know how it shakes out.

What a narc. My collection is so mint, I rarely even pick my records up from the post office.

I have literally hundreds and hundreds of 7-inches I've never listened to. I ended up making a Spotify playlist of all of my singles, those included, so I could at least hear the songs digitally.

Just a warning, I have the OG press and the sound quality is really poor. I asked on UNFD's Facebook page if this is remixed and/or remastered in any way for vinyl, but haven't received a response. I would assume these are using the original plates, so SQ won't improve. If you want this for nostalgic purposes only, then go for it.

For anyone who missed out on the Dirty Three Oceans Songs boxset a few months ago: Touch & Go just put some leftover copies up on their webstore. Really happy to order one, but I'll be more relieved when it actually shows up.

You and me both. Fingers crossed we get it some day (especially after those other Fat Possum represses).

offtopic but midwestern and versus god on different colors are available for 13,5 each right now: https://hopelessrecords.myshopify.com/search?type=product&q=dillinger

I hate getting sealed records. More often than not, the jackets come with seam splits. And it's good to test play new records with how many bad pressings there are nowadays. Have had to return/exchange like 4 or 5 records within the past year for audio defects.
