You're right. None the less. Kickass! 

Minor correction - They're actually Danish. 

Hammerheart Records have the first two albums from Invocator up for pre-order (Weave the Apocalypse hasn't been released on vinyl before). The debut is classic death/thrash (and the original press has been a bit pricey) and "Weave the apocalypse" is a more modern take on thrash - catchy riffs as hell and stellar musicianship (the vocals on this album are quite different) and a very very overlooked gem of a record.

"The End of Heartache" (KsE) is one of the next options - about time for a repress.

Based on the 2 posts above, I’m going to just cut to the discussion and ask... why?  If the presentation is junk, and the sound quality is butt, why even waste the money on a boot?  Is it the epitome of hoarding or consumerism?  Is it being able to feel proud that the album – or some bastardized rendition of it – physically resides on the shelf?  I’ll never understand it.  Vinyl is a nice, albeit spendy medium to enjoy music.  The extra cost and effort to play the music is typically justified by the immersion, the physical presentation, or the enhanced audio – if it’s been properly mastered and not just digitally ripped.  We’re talking about downgrading those things on all fronts, and paying someone $50+ to do so?  What am I missing?
 
For the vast majority, boots are boots for a reason.  They miss the entire mark of what vinyl has to offer.  I’m not a purist who insists that OG copies are the only answer (especially if a repress or reissue is available for cheaper), but willingly paying $40+ just to spin a shit version of something you could just as easily stream at better quality... what’s the purpose?
 
Arguing that it may never get pressed or repressed?  Okay.  I mean, I guess.  But it’s remarkable how many “impossible” releases I’ve seen come to fruition over the years.  Albums where the masters were (allegedly) lost for years on end, or where the rights were gridlocked in court by the labels.  It just takes time.  I wouldn’t even be surprised to see Frank Ocean’s Blonde reissued someday, despite the insistence it’ll never happen again.
 
At the end of the day it’s your money and I’m not going to seethe over the way you spend it.  If your MO is to have something tangible – laughably cheap and sloppy as it may look or sound – to tide you over until a hypothetical repress happens, and scratch whatever weird “physical medium” itch you have... that’s perfectly alright.  I just need to know if anyone else is as lost as I am.
