  1. petition your local congressman to get this released early so the national guard can use it as a crowd dispersal tool by playing it in public spaces.
  2. I didn't go extreme with the sub so I'll be getting the sub version of hinterkaifeck but not the self titled. A little bummed if they are actually doing special versions of re-issues just for the extreme subscription cos I was hoping to snag every variant of the 2020 reissue of leaving n this will preclude that. I gave up on the legrand society about five years ago after enemies list got to the point where they stopped putting out albums and the flenser started picking up and releasing their catalogue. They never ended up following through on the club t-shirt did they? Last thing I actually got excited about with Legrand was that Perfect Shapes EP which sadly never got a physical release.
  3. Yeah I just reread the details onthe series 2 subscription n it definitely mentions a gatefold I have no idea which images theyll be using though. Could be the enemies list cd cover, the enemies list ltd edition cover, the first edition box cover or maybe even the pictures from the inner sleeves from the 1st edition just done on card. Also side note theyve revealed the b side to hinterkaifeck is an etching of the runes from the cover.
  4. yeah its been oop for a while and it took a while to come back due to the level of production the set takes. As far as I'm aware nothings remastered and the book remains the same. I half remember seeing something about the discs being housed in a gatefold inside the box this time but I'm sticking to my OG version.
  5. Giles Corey DLP & Book re-issue and Hinterkaifeck LP pre-orders go live this Friday at 10am Pacific time along with a new Giles long sleeve.
  6. They deffo did signed sets for ellipsis and live at the roundhouse but they didn't for Balance and nothing for this one it seems. I've got so many signed bits n bobs from them over the years I'm not all that fussed this isnt. This is the first time I've seen them sell an album on cassette.
  7. yeah my issue was that Si had been touting this album as a guitar heavy affair via social media during the recording process last year and then we got a track with electronic steel drums. Imagine dragons was my first thought too. Still the track they released today (End Of) is a lot closer to what I want from a biffy album in 2020. Really enjoyed a lot of Balance, Not Symmetry last year but Elipsis was pretty dire they've changed a lot in the eighteen years I've been following em, as long as we get a few riffs and some tracks over 3 minutes I'll be pleased.
  8. first single was utter gash the second track is pretty good. Went for the deluxe boxset version but if this is as spotty as ellipsis this will be the last biffy album I'll preorder
  9. Happy to hear Bloodflowers is coming out. If memory serves the last two years The Cure RSD releases got standard black issues a few months after the picture discs came out and I'll happily grab that over a picture disc any day. Outside of that the only thing that vaguely interests me is the Biffy Clyro 7" but I'm not willing to camp out for that. I also find it a bit greasy that the label is releasing a single that's A-Side was part of a charity compilation where their name was probably a big draw, hope some money goes to tiny changes from these RSD sales at least. They also are gearing up for album eight soon but I was so disappointed by their new single I can't even be bothered to start a thread. It's cool to see Jenny Lee (Warpaint) doing some more solo work but I'd never play a 12" single.
  10. 2nd Midwife preview track is up on youtube and streaming platforms I believe. For the lazy but interested:
  11. Yeah the original box was commanding a massive price but they rereleased it last year n its available for about £250 now. Annoyingly they reissued bloody kisses before announcing the box which I immediately snagged. I didnt bother with the box cos im too lazy to take in duplicates to trade in and apparently that may have been a smart move as a lot of folk on the thread for that set had issues with duplicated discs etc. They have just released World Coming Down through runout groove but for some reason theyre trying to sell that for £40 when bloody kisses was £20. Shame because that album is great and one of the three heavy hitters from their catalogue I'd actually want but I'm not supporting that mark up in the vain hope that they don't do the same thing for anything else that sees release outside of the boxset (A guy can dream right?). They're really dicking about, I wouldnt be surprised if we see something "exclusive" as they've proven themselves profitable and the one album most Type O Negative fans want is October Rust. They also did a black Friday 3LP of Bloody Kisses in 2018 I believe before the standard run. Between that and them selling out various merch items (including a very pricey bomber jacket) I really wouldn't be surprised to see something from them for RSD.
  12. Without old tugjob around to give minute by minute updates on how many copies of each variant are left at different retailers is it even worth it?
  13. City Burials is the band’s eleventh studio album and its first since 2016’s haunting The Fall of Hearts. With the winds of a new direction steering the band on their latest journey, City Burials represents the fruits of a rejuvenating and profound chapter in the band’s legacy; a catalyst for its creators, with a collection of moments constructed out of the fragments of an ever-evolving life. Compiled into one of their most important modern works and statements to date, the finely-honed instrumentation provides a multi-textured backdrop with the voice of Jonas Renkse guiding us through these latest trials of loss and ruin. Beyond their core creative duo, Katatonia are very much a full-blown band, and the chemistry between Jonas, Anders and their band mates – bassist Niklas Sandin, drummer Daniel Moilanen and most recent recruit, guitarist Roger Öjersson – has never sounded more potent, with City Burials being the first album Katatonia have made since Öjersson became a full-time member. Inspired by an injection of fresh blood into Katatonia’s creative brew, City Burials is an album that sees the band reclaim part of their heavy metal roots, via several moments of exuberant, old school classicism, deftly woven into these new songs’ kaleidoscopic fabric. City Burials was produced by Nyström/Renkse and recorded at Soundtrade Studios, Tri-Lamb Studios and The City Of Glass, throughout October and November 2019, with engineering work handled by Karl Daniel Lidén. The album also features a guest appearance by Anni Bernhard, the voice behind Stockholm based act Full of Keys. Lasse Hoile’s artwork imagery represents the ongoing era of the Dead End King.

  14. Just an FYI to all you fellow Vennart fans theres a new single called Dick Privilege, full things streamable on his site. Video/Download/7" Gammon coloured vinyl drops tomorrow 9AM (I'm assuming that's GMT/UK time zone). The track is absolutely filthy sounding. Reminds me of Oceansize's rhythm section's side project KONG. Not sure if this means another album is on the way, I know Biffy spent most of last year doing that score and recording album 8 with a view to that dropping this year but they still record in the studio as a three piece as far as I understand. Doesn't make the time frame implausible for Mike to have finished something more than just a 7", what it may mean though is that if there is something bigger in the works it might not get toured upon release or it could be held back from release until it's possible to tour in support of it. Purely speculation because any Vennart news makes my pants fizz.
  15. Checked this out as these guys are headlining an alldayer in London in two weeks. Somehow this kind of reminds me of Antidotes-era foals sans vocals. Gonna check the other 5 acts I don't know before I commit to going but it was a pretty chill listen.
  16. If I hear anything about a 3rd run or a reasonable priced second hand one I'll drop you a line.
  17. Not gonna lie before Mamaleek & Giles Corey were confirmed I was still weighing up resubbing just for Midwife. Her debut Like Author, Like Daughter is just perfect. Highly recommend everyone checks it out. Think its OOP now and I broke my "No more pricey imports" rule for it. Was very happy when they announced she'd signed to the label. Check it here if you like: https://midwifemusic.com/album/like-author-like-daughter Between this and the sprain debut it might be a more mellow year overall for the sub but I'm cool with that.
  18. Series 2 Update As Midwife, Denver based multi-instrumentalist Madeline Johnston plays what she describes as “Heaven Metal,” or emotive music about devastation. Johnston began developing the experimental pop project in 2015 while a resident of beloved Denver DIY space Rhinoceropolis. The venue/co-op started in the early aughts and nurtured local artists until 2016, when its doors were shuttered due to high tensions surrounding the safety of DIY spaces (not coincidentally following the horrific Ghost Ship fire in Oakland). Residents were displaced around Denver and artists like Midwife were forced to start over. However, it was at Rhinoceropolis that Madeline became close with Colin Ward, an artistic confidant and friend to whom her new album, Forever, is dedicated. Madeline comments, “He was my roommate and was the embodiment of that place [Rhinoceropolis] in a lot of ways. We became really close friends there. I was always learning so much from him, about life and being an artist. He was an amazing teacher and friend to me.” When Ward passed away unexpectedly in 2018, she turned towards sound to express the indescribable feelings that partnered with her grief. These mournful sounds ultimately developed into her new album, Forever. The 6-song LP is a latticework of soft focus guitars and precise melodies–anthems of light piercing through gray clouds of drone. On the track “C.R.F.W.,” we hear Colin Ward reading a poem that speaks of a leaf falling from a tree in autumn: “imagine the way a breeze feels against your leaf body while you finally don’t have to hold on anymore.” Johnston responds with slowly radiating tones, branches stretching out to hold the leaf one last time. “I wanted to write him a letter. I wanted to make something for him in his memory,” Madeline says of Forever. On Forever, Midwife combines ambient and dream pop into nuanced, reverb-soaked music that is equally haunting and moving. Look for the album to be in stores on April 10th via The Flenser and see Midwife performing at Roadburn Festival in The Netherlands following its release, as part of the Flenser 10 Year showcase. Pressed on Black Vinyl, Mustard Yellow Vinyl, and Milky Clear with Mustard Yellow Color-in-Color Vinyl (Series Two Membership exclusive). Mustard Vinyl is also available with a limited edition Silk-Screened cover. Tracklist: 1. 2018 2. Anyone Can Play Guitar 3. Vow 4. Language 5. C.R.F.W. 6.

  19. Its a total guess its probably somewhere in the thousands, the only way to get any clarification would be to email the label directly and hope someone gets back to you. Then you have to hope that the number they give you stays the same, its not uncommon practice for an item to be put up for pre-order with a limit to have its limit increased and with them not posting numbers publicly its even easier for them to do this. Ultimately just like Tim said above if you get into this hobby of collecting records buy what you like and don't worry about value or scarcity. You never know what will end up being worth a lot down the line, just like any investment its a gamble because you need to land in the sweet spot where demand is higher than supply. An album that is worth 300 bucks for years can always wind up becoming available again or reprinted and then wind up being worth 20. Pick the records you love with the intention of playing them and you always win.
  20. As a general rule the easiest way to find out is to check a website we probably all frequent called Discogs.com it lists every version of a release and often data like pressing numbers are posted on each version where available. That said I had a cursory glance on your behalf and found that whilst it's listed as limited no numbers are stated. As Tim has said there's no perfect way to calculate correct numbers if a label or company don't advertise them. If they do advertise a number then even that is to be taken with a grain of salt for the reasons above. There's always a level of false scarcity when it comes to records as it does help drive sales and you'll often find an unspecified "limited" release is selling at a higher price point. That said for an artist as big as Janet Jackson I'd say your looking at something that probably has 1000 copies or more out there.
