Keep an eye on the Gatecreeper and NB site. Something is going down today. Hopefully it is the new album. Someone post when it's up!😀

It is - tracklist and info up here: https://www.townsend-records.shop/product-page/gatecreeper-dark-superstition-purple-vinyl

Waiting on the band's announce and variants.

Anyone surprised? Never paid more than half price for any of their releases.  Still remember arguing with this guy on reddit when he started this thing and trying to explain to him why I found the subscription model entirely unappealing.  Glad it worked out for him.

I can't believe Guster is a thing in 2024.  I also can't believe the:

We have set a minimum price of $25, but invite you to pay more if you'd like to. Every dollar goes directly to the band and is greatly appreciated.

 

OR the option to buy a 90 second Cameo from the band for an additional $75 😆

 

what a world.

I first heard Dreamhouse because the guy who runs Dark Descent Records (home of Spectral Voice, Blood Incantation, and other OSDM revival stuff that rules) was posting something about it, and all of the trv3 kvlt kydz were losing their fucking minds over this band not being "real metal" in the comments. 

I want to say it was a Pitchfork article, I'm not even sure if the whole album had come out yet.  But I 1000% remember exactly where i was and what i was doing when I heard that first major chord come in under the blastbeats, and i was like "What the FUCK is this!!!!!"

I was hooked instantly.  Fuck the trends.  Fuck the trv3 kvlt losers.  I still love Darkthrone and Emperor and Entombed and I love Deafheaven and Phish and the Grateful Dead too.  Fuck all of the boundaries and rules.  Music rules. 

 

 

Single is great. classic owen

boy howdy

Considering the slip cover likely cost like $0.76, $23 is pretty crazy. $11.67 per record.

I mean, the price makes much more sense once it's in your hand.

 

Flimsy box, no-frills plain single sleeves, all black and white ink, no inserts, lyrics, or track listings.  At least they opted for clear plastic inners instead of sandpaper.  Only listened to 2x of them so far but sounded good to me.

 

Still, super glad to have these at an affordable price in a playable format.

1. Afterbirth - In But Not Of
2. Dying Fetus - Make Them Beg For Death
3. Cannibal Corpse - Chaos Horrific
4. Autopsy - Ashes, Organs, Blood and Crypts
5. Plague Bearer - Summoning Apocalyptic Devastation
6. In Flames - Foregone
7. Cirith Ungol - Dark Parade
8. Majesties - Vast Reaches Unclaimed
9. Incantation - Unholy Deification

10. Ὁπλίτης (Hoplites) - Τρωθησομένη

Based solely on listens, here's my top 10 for 2023-released metal. Not a bad year by any means.

lmfao $52 shipped for a Soundtrack.🥵

 

Still had to grab it.

hate that etr is involved - can't wait to buy my last mondo release!

Anyone able to comment on sound quality for this 2023 pressing vs the original black first pressing?

2009 just hit different. 😔

I would just keep using the Vinyl PO board of this forum as your own personal blog.  Seems to be working out pretty well.

@randdmart  you sure? can anyone else vouch?

Discogs is updating our selling fee on May 22, 2023, and we want to support sellers during this change.

The new fee is 9% of the item and shipping costs, so if you offer free shipping, the resulting fee will be smaller – and sellers on Discogs who offer free shipping typically see higher order values.

Average order size is 2.1 times higher on domestic orders with free shipping and 3.5 times higher on international orders. But don’t just believe us – almost 90% of collectors on Discogs consider buying additional items from a seller to decrease shipping costs, according to a 2023 survey.

We created a complete guide to the benefits of free shipping to help you determine if free shipping is right for you.

 

Records that ship for free sell like hotcakes! Don't complain about us charging you a 9% fee on a service we aren't even fucking selling you.  Just pay it out of pocket and save the 9% upcharge!

$37.50 for this 😒

lol $50.

As of now, the only two divisions of the company that remain are the toys and records divisions. But insiders tell TheWrap it’s unclear how long those divisions will remain as part of the Funko portfolio.

I swear to god, if somehow Mondo goes under before releasing the That Thing You Do! OST...

My exact thoughts.
