    Hybrid Theory and Meteora will always be 2 of my all time favorite albums, but I could never get into Reanimation for some reason.

    He hasn't updated it in 3 months because he is 1 person doing everything and im sure the web page is the last thing he cares about. I don't think I would trust any label more with something like this then BM. Dude is top notch.

    Ugh, Chrono Trigger is the one release I have been waiting for. Easily my favorite video game music, but im not totally sure if I am sold on the idea of them being remade. I would really only want the original soundtrack.

    Nah thats so fucking backwards. There's a line to be drawn. Outing serious offenders and criminals is something. This is petty, TMZ level reporting. Twitter is public and if it was a big deal it would have been brought out sooner. These are tweets from 2011 for gods sake.
     
    Art can be appreciated regardless of the creator. Bad people can make good art. When I buy something I am buying the product. I guarantee quite a bit of the stuff you own digital or physical goods were created by (closeted) racists, bigots, anti-transgender ect.
     
    But this isnt even the case here. If you want to not purchase from a collective band because one person doesn't line perfectly with your world views thats your prerogative. Its a free market. Everyone has something to hide. You'll never find a group of perfect people. Listen to the music.
     
    Ive been a strong advocate for gay rights. I know people that are gay or pro-gay rights as well and have used the word "faggot" in some manner. Some people use it without thinking about the words meaning. To say im homophobic for listening or supporting this band is incomprehensible.
     
    Unless their lyrics are homophobic or discriminatory explicitly and again physical evidence of hate crimes being committed (or he himself says he is homophobic in some manner). Until further notice, I will support the band. 
     
    Edit: To add on. For example this is another recent artist's tweet that blew up. I would not support this artist at all in any manner.

    I know everybody likes to bitch about this stuff and I get it to a degree, but think about them as human beings. Aaron and Spencer are the only ones really doing music anymore. Aaron's music is successful but very different. Spencer's is... not nearly as successful as UO.
     
    You've spent a decade of your life as part of a creative vanguard making awesome music that people flip their shit for. Then you spend 3 years in civilian life either doing normal shit or doing music that really isn't as well received or is drastically different from what you spent your glory years doing. Somebody says "hey let's do a quick reunion tour for our two most well-received records and probably make some decent money while living a small taste of our old life", you're gonna be like "sign me the fuck up." I don't care how fulfilled they may be in their current careers, you're hard pressed to find a career musician who isn't itching to relive the rockstar experience every few years.

    Ok, I dont come here often (im the evil "bootlegger" btw) , but I was told about a few people here trying to purposely spread a bunch of misinformation and lies about what Im doing, so I have to set the record straight.
     
    First off, I dont make any money personally off my records. I have donated over $6000 to various original artists who actually made the original music and raised over $3000 for the charity childsplay. I have spent almost $4000 on lawyer fees securing REAL licenses (not some bullshit "reprint a CD on vinyl" loophole), which is costly and time consuming as fuck to do, which is why doing it from the start would have been IMPOSSIBLE for me as I am not and have never been a rich man.
     
    Every other cent from sales goes right back into making more albums. I havent even announced the other LICENSED works I have upcoming because I want to wait until they're actually ready to sell and ship to avoid all this retarded craziness of preorders and resellers because I want my stuff to stand on its own because of the quality and care that went into making them, not because people want to just have them cause they think theyll be able to sell them down the road. Im even making a website for them to make purchasing wayyyy easier and also stop people from ordering a shitload of copies just to resale.
     
    Anyway, the main point is, I make these things as a fan of the MUSIC and the vinyl format, for fans of the MUSIC and the vinyl format. If you hate my art, cool, no prob. Doesnt hurt my feelings. Dont like my choices for music? Fine, dont buy my stuff. I make records that I want people to actually play and enjoy, not to have collecting dust on a shelf cause they're "collectable". But when people on here try and claim that Im just trying to make a quick buck off the current video game vinyl trend, its laughable, because for one, Im partly responsible for spurring it on and two how many "bootleggers" would even care to use actual rips from nsf, spc, etc files and have then have them mastered by a real audio engineer, out of pocket, specifically for vinyl? Or spend extra money for heavy paper stock jackets, or have custom etchings specific to the game, carved into the matrix info area? If I was concerned about making a bunch of money I could easily repress Mega Man 2 or Zelda, which would be infinitely cheaper and easier than investing a bunch of money into new releases and licenses, but I have respect the people who use their hard earned cash to buy my releases and I feel like I owe those people who support what Im doing, with keeping promises Ive made to not devalue their purchases.
     
    And as for the people that hate that all the albums are based on classic album covers, there is actually a thought out reason for that. I feel like game music is looked down upon as not being "real" art. The classic cover idea is a direct statement that these soundtracks are our "classic albums" and being on vinyl, I thought it would be a cool idea to make a cohesive running idea, that took the most iconic album covers of the vinyl era and juxtaposed the two, to give weight to the music within as legit works of timeless, real art, and not just some nerdy nostalgic garbage. I know Im not a great artist or anything, but I try the best I can and if you dont like it, then I more than welcome you to come upstage me, cause I would fucking buy it cause I love having game soundtracks on vinyl, regardless of who is making them.
     
    And also for the record for all the haters, the new label, which all the licensed stuff will be on, will all have original covers, not based on anything but the games, so you dont have to worry anymore about "parody" stuff. But they will be all original art assets (not all by me either), so if you just want a bunch of boring stock game art, you will still be very disappointed. Also fuck you, for being a boring piece of shit that allows companies to make the same tired ass stock garbage that takes no effort or creativity at all to make.
     
    P.S. Sorry this is so long yall. But I had to say my piece.

    The day Kingdom Hearts music comes out on vinyl is the day I will be a very happy man. That and Chrono Trigger are the 2 soundtracks I really only want to buy at this point. Maybe Megaman X as well if that ever gets put out.

    No, the die cut has to be of the sticker. What better way to proudly display the rage most felt upon first realizing it was on the jacket.

    Any of you who may have missed out on Gost's - Behemoth, or Perturbator's - Terror 404, Blood Music is respressing them on some dope glow in the dark variants. Unlike others, these are actually made like normal vinyl and not plastic glow in the dark pieces, so they sound much better.
