  1. Same. They seemed to have insane web coupons active at all times, so I’m only getting stung for like $18 and change after shipping. Still super annoying though, and I feel for anyone who has funds tied up. What a shit-show.
  2. I had to do a double-take from glancing at it earlier; absolutely would've bet money that it said Los Angeles, so I have no idea what happened there. But you guys are right. I dunno if Vegas is any better or worse, but at least it's closer [for me]. Probably not swinging it, but I agree that the lineup seems like you're bound to catch something great anywhere you turn.
  3. I think I’m going to uphold my tradition of not listening to the actual tracks, especially so far in advance of a release date (which we don’t even have yet). I do like to go into the new records 95% blind, I think that’s the most fun and rewarding. Way too many horror stories from people binging bootlegs for months and then feeling underwhelmed that there’s “not enough new material” when the album drops, or that the songs and their production just don’t “feel the same”. (Which, I mean… yeah.) I was able to whet my appetite with some very promising clips from the new songs last night, and that’s more than enough to keep new Godspeed atop my list of most-anticipated music. To each their own though.
  4. 2 new tracks debuted tonight. Lines up with a Belgian article that recently mentioned a new album in September. The video clips I heard were glorious… but I also say this as someone who’s really happy with their last album, and isn’t even remotely tired of them covering the same ground they do so well. Bits of the percussion and flow at a few parts were giving me major DMST vibes. Which is a good thing.
  5. It’s still a genuinely great track (and album), too. I know Sunbather wasn’t the very first album to merge black metal and shoegaze, but I think it was the first to do so with as much success as it saw. It really put that sound on the map and kicked the door off its hinges for more “blackgaze” bands to enter the scene. Sometimes I think back to this thread and all the VCers being hyped over the album’s teaser trailer, and singles as they dropped. Such a rad time to be a part of the forums and collectively gush about the record, especially when POs went live. I think they included immediately downloads for the entire album ahead of the release date. I remember everyone being pretty stoked on the first listen and [rightfully] circle-jerking the album in this thread. Really good times. Somehow can’t believe it was a whole decade ago… while also, simultaneously, feeling it was even longer. A lifetime ago.
  6. Or (more likely) just a wider press on black vinyl. I’d still gun for a copy on gold, but not for $75+ if that’s the actual MSRP.
  7. It’s also /5,000. Even if that’s worldwide distribution, that’s not limited enough to make me sweat or consider lining up with scalpers.
  8. I gave this a proper listen (for the first time) this afternoon, hoping I’d like it a bit more. Wasn’t 100% my bag but I still wanted to say that the packaging and variant you opted for look dope. I sort of imagine they’ll stick around for a while if I ever changed my mind in the near future, but hopefully this will make someone super happy to finally see on vinyl – if not the band themselves after such a wait.
  9. I went big-brain and found it on the Shop App. It’s like $7-8 more than PV but if you have Shop Cash built up, you can whittle the price down. I was able to checkout with a copy effortlessly.
  10. Damn, I needed that /100 to be a thing because these variants are atrocious. 😔
  11. Maybe in a minority here, but I didn’t care for their last album at all. I also kinda’ find Red Forest to land somewhere between “okay” and “decent” at best – I don’t think it holds a candle to the 2 albums before it. 🤷‍♂️ In more exciting news, anyone see those Caspian + ASIWYFA dates? That’s a tight bill.
  12. Yeah, Avalanche feels like maybe 1 year old or something. Wild to think it was a 2020 drop. I think he’s been on a roll so I’m very much down for this new one.
