Indie exclusive Orchid w/ sticker set: https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35362722/ghost-impera-orchid-vinyl-indie-exclusive-lp

Reaktor posted that these are all 180g w/ booklet and limited to 1000 aside from Red which is /5000. Also a semi-transparent brown that is apparently available here, but I can't figure it out since it's not in English: https://www.levykauppax.fi/artist/ghost_swe/impera/#770922

I'm liking the new track, but man, that video is awful. For a band with some great imagery, releasing a video that looks like something Mudvayne would've put out 20 years ago just has me scratching my head. Can't decide which version to pick up. I always grab the Bengans variants, but the numbered sticker on the plastic wrap is just a waste so I'll probably stick with one of the US versions and save a few bucks.

Behind the Mosh Pit

I had read on reddit that they split, but don't know anything factual beyond whatever post I saw.

That definitely comes across as the most "sound of mind" statement or interview he has given in a while, but I'm sure the lawyers scrubbed it before he was allowed to post since, as he states, he is playing by the rules. I don't know what to think at this point. The pandemic did change people, and Keith has clearly evolved his beliefs and actions into what seems, on the surface, to be a whole new identity. The political differences between he and his brother obviously caused a rift, but I can't imagine that being the breaking point of this band. I don't agree with his assessment that he was fired from the band. That's not the way I read the legal documents, but I think his statement is carefully worded to imply that is how he interpreted it. Fair enough. Not sure his recent track record has me believing his side of the communication breakdown, but who knows. When all is said and done, maybe this is actually the best path forward for ETID. They never made a bad record - but Keith is different now - and I'm not sure the person he's become is the person I could relate to like I have for the past 20 years or so of listening to them. If we want to play HxC fantasy draft, maybe the politically-minded Keith could help revive United Nations. Then the rest of ETID could join forces with Aaron Bedard or Greg Puciato....

Agreed. I can see his brother being a dick, I don't think that's much of a reach - but that's brother shit. Everyone other than Keith seems level headed in this situation. And regarding the cease & desist - could that have been brought on not only to protect themselves, but to also put Keith's mind at ease? He was clearly unhappy at the thought of the band playing shows without him (karaoke style), so this scenario would prevent that from happening - seems mutually beneficial and mature given the circumstances.

Hitting me that I’ll never get to see these Radical tracks played live. I’ll never get to jump off a stage to Post-Boredom or lose my mind to People Verses… …and yes, inevitably gonna get messier. I can only imagine what that European evening with Keith tour is gonna be like…

And on that note, ‘22 blows just as hard as the last few years. I’m glad they’re not going to continue with a new singer, and hopefully down the road they’ll reunite, but for now, this is the peak of suckage.

Here's the track list from that site, so looks like a 2nd EP with Electric Moose as the 1st track: 1. Imposter Syndrome 2. Drift 3. Our Last Shot 4. Even Better 5. Gone For Good 6. Sleep Well 7. Electric Moose 8. Curritiba 9. Late Nap 10. Discount On Psychic Readings 11. Die On The West Coast 12. Buzzhenge

Pretty sure their IG post yesterday said they'd only have the color one on their site. There's a decibel variant on White apparently too.

Huh, I still don't see it on there. Just cd, tape, and t-shirts when I search.

Picked up that color in color on BC too. Haven't seen it show up on the Dark Descent store yet.

Picked one up, thanks for posting! Looks like only 238 out of 500 left.

I would say only about 75% of my collection has seen the turntable, and I own ~ 750 titles on vinyl. That's not to say I don't have the intention of spinning everything, the practicality of it just doesn't seem to come together. I'm an avid collector of many different things from toys to posters and so on...and a downfall for me for about 5 years or so was buying up every niche movie soundtrack I could. In reality, many of those have never seen my turntable. When I finally get some alone time late on a Saturday night and can spin a record while enjoying a cocktail, the reality is I'm not clamoring to spin the OST to The Howling. If anything, I'll watch The Howling - know what I mean? So the soundtrack stuff is a heavy contributor to the unspun segment of my collection. Another heavy contributor to my non-spinning is a compulsion toward owning an artist's entire catalogue. I'll discover a band and dig what I'm hearing, then I'll ravenously scour the internet to get the best deal I can on everything they've ever released. And the reality is a lot of times I heard those artists at a moment that it "clicked" and then never re-discover that fascination with their sound that prompted me down that path to begin with. I definitely fall in the segment of folks whose free time has vanished. I'm 38, with a stepson in 6th grade who needs to be shuttled around, a puppy that is being trained, and a house/yard that constantly needs something fixed or maintained. I work a minimum of 9 hours a day and I have a 1 hour commute each way. If I get to spin records once a week, that is a lot. Often times it has diminished to once or twice a month, but when I do sit down to spin stuff, I binge spin for hours. Now that we've moved into a house, my record player is in a living room right below my kid's bedroom, so the noise definitely intrudes on him more than when we were in a condo. And a lot of the stuff I listen to isn't palatable to the average person, so outside of Christmas music (which my family even complains about but I enjoy), there isn't much I can spin that doesn't get moans and groans. Despite all that, I still love having something tangible and supporting an artist. My collection definitely needs to get under control, and I definitely struggle with slowing down and not ordering everything I want. Make no qualms about it, it is an addiction for me. If my wife only knew what I spent on my hobbies....

The openers are rotating each night, just fyi. Gonna have to make sure to be there for doors so you don’t miss anyone (and who would want to, this is a stacked show!)

I read that differently as in FOH had more shows to announce, not that this tour itself would have more dates to announce.

That's my understanding and it really bites. Will definitely deter me from using those services, though I'm not sure what the alternative is going to be...

Hell yes, Juan! Ticket ordered for Philly!

Test press up at Dark Operative: https://darkoperative.myshopify.com/collections/vinyl/products/the-all-american-rejects-move-along-test-press-lp The other 2 variants are now available on their site too.

From Dark Operative's bandcamp: Having had original plans to formally celebrate its 15th anniversary in 2020 with special live performances and premium vinyl reissues, it's safe to say that nobody saw what was coming for the entirety of the planet's population for the 2 years following. Needless to say, plans had to be put on hold. To hopefully usher in a brighter omen for 2022, Dark Operative is formally issuing the "Move Along" on 12/7 in a hyper-deluxe format featuring rainbow holographic foil, gatefold inserts, metallic inks, and two color-vinyl variants (White, Golden Nugget). Please enjoy! I'm assuming 12/7 is a typo and meant to actually be 1/7. Also, I'd expect this to pop up on their site sooner than later...

Who you be, hombre??? Is it possible I've thrown ludicrous amounts of money your way lol?

Screen printed posters. Tiki mugs.

Once covid is over can we all just go back to blaming Record Store Day for all the pressing delays?
