Anyone see this yet?  It's so gimmicky and unnecessary that I don't think it deserves its own thread.

https://www.impericon.com/us/thursday-full-collapse-20th-anniversary-ltd-4-vinyl.html

Appears to be a 10" boxset.  I think this is such a dumb approach to reissuing the record.  Band hasn't mentioned anything about it so I feel like there will be an announcement next week, and I can only hope this isn't the only version they'd offer.  Not sure why we can't get the album on a double LP @ 45 RPM or something.  Super surprised that hasn't happened at any point in the last 20 years.

This is super gross and embarrassing. Never seen a less-inspired release from an artist before, let alone one I sort of respect and still enjoy nostalgically. 

The price. The format. The art. The content.

Awful.

please keep us updated. i lie awake at night worried you'll be discouraged by quadruple posting on top of yourself with absolutely no interaction from anyone else. thank god you have no self awareness ❤️

Anybody manage to grab the 200 Stab Wounds from Closed Casket this morning? When I clicked on the link they were immediately sold out. Thankfully I think there are more coming

Nope. More variants coming direct from Maggot Stomp in the next week or two they said.

Throne Records EU/UK repress of Hell I and Hell II up now over at loweryourhead for the MSW fans here.

Sad I missed the Hell I on ultra clear. Now my trio is Silver/Clear/Clear but glad to finish the trilogy.

Album of the year so far:

https://profoundlorerecords.bandcamp.com/album/artificial-brain

I've tried this band several times but it never seems to click for me.  Love death metal, love the scifi vibes, but... something about the mix (of the music, on their albums) just never works for me.

Don't know if anyone else missed out last year, but repress of Suffering Hour's Cyclic Reckoning up at Profound Lore on silver and clear.  Glad to not be paying aftermarket.

Killer grind band, WAKE, from Calgary, Canada, announced a new one.

https://wakegrind.bandcamp.com/album/thought-form-descent

 

Only those two versions so far, but more should be listed soon:

I don't really hear the grindcore, but I gather they've been heading well into blackened death for a while. Sounds like Ulcerate/Black Curse/Infernal Coil type stuff more than grindcore, but I dig it!

lol. Guy forgot to put a tracklist anywhere in this record. Big dummy. 

Gotta save that hype sticker off the back 😉

some kind of mouse king from whoville watching the fruit of the loom mascots wrestle over some pseudo-hip hop half skramz bullshit chorus before another song entirely cuts in for the bubblegum pop cleans with nick lachey jailed by the leaf things from zelda.

Miss those Royal Ocean days.

How is this band selling >20k vinyl copies? Damn.

Lots of great releases today, including (finally) some solid death metal.

Semi-surprising to some, myself included - I think Chris Reifert's new album with Greg Wilkinson (both from Autopsy) as Static Abyss is worth checking out.  Only vinyl release is on 140g black, up on Amazon, Bandcamp, and Peaceville's shop.  Pretty sweet death/doom with some touches of Autopsy in places.

Tzompantli - TLAZCALTILIZTLI

Pre-Order up at 20BS shipping out in June.  Indigenous themed death doom. Singles are great.

Has anyone ever ordered any records from Northeastern Steel Industry (NESI)?

 

I just found out that WITTR did a release with them for their last record...and it's sold out on their site...but found some copies for same on Discogs. But just curious as to NESI's quality and rep. 

 

 

NESI is legit, try meteor-gem.com for NESI stock stateside occasionally. Great shop run by a VC member. 

I enjoyed Burial's Inner Gateways... Album a good bit from last year, less than 30 copies of the colored version left across EU\US shops. Here's the US link, at indiemerchstore for anyone looking. BC or everlastingspew for Europe copies.

but where's the PO

this is some panic at the disco sounding shit anyway. won't be revisiting these tracks, personally. bummer.

Vital Remains - Icons of Evil repress over at Osmose Productions on Gold and Dark Blue/black galaxy

https://www.osmoseproductions.com/item/2/94903-110402-1232-1-0/122016102/vital-remains-icons-of-evil.-gold-vinyl.html

My least favorite of their discography, but also the only one I'm missing. Hopefully some copies show up stateside for <$40 someday.

was there ever any news about That Thing You Do?

It's like they know the day they announce it is the day I unsubscribe from their newsletter.

It's been years.

These will be cool to listen to but I don't feel the urge to own them, I guess. 

new press of Bell Witch's Longing on Metallic Silver /300 (black copies as well). Silver sold out on the band site already, and copies are heading to Deathwish EU as well.

Flenser still has some in stock if you're quick: https://nowflensing.com/collections/vinyl/products/bell-witch-longing-dlp

Yessssssssssss.

Immolation - Acts of God 2xLP from Nuclear Blast - 2/18/22 on Clear with Gold splatter

(vinyl 4/15/22)

https://shop.nuclearblast.com/en/products/sound/vinyl/2lp/immolation-acts-of-god-clear-gold-splatter-vinyl.html

CDs and CD+ Shirt bundles up too.

I don't think this is supposed to be live/announced until tomorrow but here it is for anyone who sees this.  Shipping from Nuclear Blast is BRUTAL as always for a DLP, and I have to assume there will be more than 1 variant as there has been in the past for Immolation. 

Looks like yellow/black, clear/black, and black are all available in EU/UK NB shops, clear/gold may be US exclusive. 

Yellow/Black marble @ NB UK: /300 https://www.nuclearblast.com/uk/immolation-acts-of-god-sun-yellowblack-marbled-vinyl-2lp-gelbschwarz-marmoriert-306088

looks like Immolation is teasing something new in 3 days:

I regret not picking up Apparition and Mortiferum when they were put up.  Have had those two, Hyperdontia and Worm on repeat.  

I missed the Apparition PO too, but the "black galaxy swirl" is still available. Picked that up even though it will likely just be slightly transparent black haha. I did manage one of the 2 original Mortiferum variants, but it's delayed along with the Apparition stuff.

Worm is good, I was grateful 20BS put out a second set pressing with the same delivery time as the B1-3 presses, because after listening I was sad I didn't buy - love the shift to more death influence for them.

Edit: Oh, also that Hyperdontia is a sleeper hit. I can't stop listening to it. I REALLY regret missing the green/olive press. Will be keeping my eyes open for any once they start shipping. Great album.
