I realized that Nuclear Blast usually prepares page with all the variants of given release; this time I just replaced last part of URL that I had for Vader release and found out that such page is also available for Khemmis, this helps to find out all possible variants: https://media.nuclearblast.de/shoplanding/2021/Khemmis/deceiver.html

New album from Kowloon Walled City "Piecework", few variants available: First pressing: 2000 copies - 400 Clear & Yellow color vinyl (Sub Club/Gilead exclusive color) - 400 Milky Clear color vinyl - 400 Blue & Gold color vinyl (Neurot Recordings exclusive color) - 800 Black vinyl Links: https://kowloonwalledcity.merchtable.com/artists/kowloon-walled-city https://gileadmedia.net/products/kowloon-walled-city-piecwork-lp-pre-order https://neurotrecordings.merchtable.com/artists/kowloon-walled-city/kowloon-walled-city-piecework-digital-cd-viny

Having few different Panopticon variants I can confirm that: - "sky" art was previously used only in EU vinyl pressings (Trust No One); - all US pressing I have are kinda glossy (with last press being super-glossy), while EU covers are everything but glossy; - I do not have "reverse-board" variant, so cannot say anything about it.

Well, I'm not that strict on telling which is definitely the best, but people say TNO pressing is the best one - probably the most difficult to get, though.

^As I missed 1700 variants I went with your link (thanks!), funny thing is that during checkout price changed to $44.27 insted of $35.99 😐

Shit, missed the 'artist' variants. Absolutely terrible variants if you asked me, but for collector's sake, I need them ;( Quest continues, will catch them sooner or later, probably. For now, all the others. And 27 new album.. expensive evening.

^Indeed, I found this EP some time ago and really liked it - those tracks give me hope that Giants are not over yet! @drds89 yes Don, it's beautiful and still have a special place in my collection

Absolutely amazing last longplay by Red Scalp is now available on cassette tape if anyone is interested: https://threemoonsrecords.bigcartel.com/product/red-scalp-the-great-chase-in-the-sky

Finally checked the single, guess first time I heard whole song by Lingua Ignota. Totally not my cup of tea, I know it sounds ridiculous, but I have strange associations with (blockbusters) films music 😐

Glad I stopped on collecting variants from 1st pressing only once, Metal Blade would kill my wallet now 😂 Btw, I was pretty sure that ITTCT was buried in Metal Blade catalog and they will not give them proper attention, but they got rights to press those (what about debut?) and did quite a lot. Does anyone know if they plan to record something new?

According to Relapse (by comparison), I guess this is what makes deluxe versions deluxe: "deluxe edition features gold foil stamping printed on jackets." However, Decibel's one (which is not supposed to be deluxe) has this in description: "all packaged in a gatefold jacket with metallic gold printing." Well, foil stamping is not printing, so that's probably it. We'll see in this thread while orders start coming

Funny thing is that the most limited variant (beside clear Relapse ones) is not sold out yet I know, it's grey and not deluxe, but still..

Wait for email, I had 2 errors, now got two confirmation order emails 😐 Well, happy to snag it!

I totally overlooked whole NESI thing, what is that? Chinese label licensing records and pressing limited editions? Need to check this out.
