I sincerely wish they go out of business.

Daaaaaaaaamn, they got Songs for the Dead. Definitely one of their most important releases.

What's the latest I can join the club and still get this? I still have the option to join using the 1-month plan, which is cool. It'd be great if I can listen to the record first and then decide if I want it.

Give me a release date. I need a release date.

Does anyone else feel a sort of anxiety while anticipating a new release from one of their favourite artists? Like, what if it sucks? Or what if it's not amazing? You expect greatness from your favourite bands. This is a good album, it scratches the itch but nevertheless, I'm disappointed. There are many riffs worth of note, especially the one from Terminal Itch, that's a classic Scott Hull riff right there. And House of Snakes is one badass track. Army of Cops still sucks. And so do the guest vocals throughout. As a cost-cutting measure, I only collect albums that I love, but I'll be keeping the pinwheel because it's sexy and rare.

The price difference between continents is massive and makes no sense. The electric blue variant that I bought sells for 19 pounds. That's 25 dollars, literally half the price of the American variants!

It would really suck if these are limited. Even a run of 5000 pressings are not enough for a band like SOAD. Especially when the demand is pent-up like it is now.

I found two more variants for America. They still cost 50 bucks though. The album comes out via Metal Blade in the US. I added the link in my OG post.

Because I've already seen them and I have to travel like 2 hours to every concert I go to. Not really worth it anymore if the artist is not one of my favourites or the if the venue is big. But this line-up is crazy good and the venue fits max 900 people.

And that tour line-up they got. I don't feel like seeing Behemoth again, but I'm not missing this. Behemoth, At the Gates AND Wolves in the Throne Room.

Interesting offering: They're hosting a launch event in London on October 5th. Tickets only available at the UK Nuclear Blast store. If you live in the USA, their band store is your only option because the double LP at KRM costs 50 bucks! But something's weird even there. They seem to be offering two identical bundles with the only difference being the vinyl colours. But one costs 39 dollars and the other one 66!

Get hyped! The most consistent death metal band is back with a new album. October 5th.

PINS!!! FUCK. YES.

There is no experimentation in this album. Nothing we weren't expecting Deafheaven to do at some point. The songwriting sits right in the middle of Sunbather and New Bermuda in my view.

It's simple. Good album, but not their best. Their formula is getting a bit stale now and some the songs are repetitive (You without end, Worthless animal). New Bermuda was better because the songwriting was more dynamic and therefore fresher, but with OCHL they seem to have regressed.

I received the album today, without a shipping confirmation from KRM EU. The green with black smoke and it looks exactly like the picture in the store.

By the way, you can find previews of all the tracks on iTunes. The whole album is 31 minutes and all the previews together (along with Army of Cops) add up to 14 minutes! Twelve tracks on the album. The last one is 7 minutes long.

Is that actually bad, though? It kinda rewards nerds like us, who spam the refresh button an hour early.

Pre-orders went live at :46 and the pinwheel sold out within 7 minutes in both stores. First time I got something so limited, brand new. Which is why I'm excited. Now I hope it actually looks nice like the picture. Alright I got what I wanted, can this plane take off now?

I GOT THE PINWHEEL TOO. FROM MY PHONE. INSIDE THE AIRPLANE. HELL YEAH!

I read on MetalSucks that the pre-orders will go up in 11 am EST, which is in an hour exactly from now. I'm boarding a plane in a half hour from now, which means I'll miss it, but that's what I deserve.

Yoooooooo. Isn't Nic Cage's son super into metal?

Don't worry about the hate. It only comes from me, haha.

The addition of bass makes them sound like ANb. I should have expected that. But this is Pig Destroyer, where's the badass riff, the hook for the whole song to centre around. Where's the ferocity in JR's vocals? He sounds lazy. There's no build up to anything, the song just stops. No structure whatsoever. 3 minutes full of nothing. This is below PD's standards. And my biggest question is why did they pick this song as a lead single? I know this track will sound better in the context of the entire album of course, but on its own it doesn't hold up. And I love Book Burner, man, I'll defend that album to death, but this is lame. Last post for tonight. I promise. End of rant.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK. I've already listened to it 5 times and I DO NOT LIKE IT. It's so long and it doesn't go anywhere and MY HYPE IS FUCKING DIMINISHING. WHY AM GETTING UPSET. Please tell me you don't like it either, because I'm freaking out right now. EDIT: Bass sounds good, though.
