Eu batch of vinyl is up /100 (74 left) 

https://evilgreed.net/collections/norma-jean/products/norma-jean-meridional-2xlp

Don’t think it’s /100 but simply the US /500. Grabbed one anyway. Thought about grabbing one from the US store, hesitated because of the price, after which it sold out. 

Stopped buying Flightless variants after Gumboot Soup. Not that they don’t offer nice variants, but it’s just not worth the extra costs to me. Happily picked up retail editions of Fishing and Infest, and will do the same with this one. 
 

The only thing that’s a bit of a bummer is that Europe usually gets the least interesting retail variants as far as King G is concerned..

New Esoctrilihum album up for preorder (/100 color & /200 black):

https://metalodyssey.8merch.com/product/esoctrilihum-eternity-of-shaog-2lp/

First song up on Bandcamp sounds great. 

Also a colored repress of Haunter’s SDQ:

I am not familiar with this band but that track sounded awesome.  Purchased.

Cool, you’re in for a treat then. I’d recommend checking out Esoteric Malacology, their most recent album, and then work backwards from there. 

Slugdge - Born of Slime vinyl release available via Bandcamp and Willowtip. Two variants, of which one on random-colored vinyl, so obviously snagged the red & yellow merge.

not feeling that song at all

Not feeling it that much either. At least, the first part. Second (instrumental) half sounds good though. 
 

Also, what’s up with that Deathwish price? €37? Outrageous, compared to Stickman’s €20/22,50

Could this album be more boring 

Hardly. Glad I didn’t preorder it. The singles didn’t do anything for me, and the rest of the album doesn’t fare any better. Not entirely sure where all the positive reviews come from either.

Amazon sent me a Mogwai box set once without any packaging at all. Just threw a shipping label on there (thing was sealed, fortunately), and called it a day. Somehow it arrived almost intact. Kind of ironic since often it’s the other way around with them, and they use insanely large boxes filled to the brim with padding just to ship a single record. 

Chrome Ghost - The Diving Bell available on Bandcamp

Two variants, each limited to 125

Picked up the bundle and Akhlys. Its was actually cheaper for me to order via the EU webshop than US

Did the same, and added that Behexen bundle as well. Looked too good to pass up on..

Three Toxic Holocaust represses (/100) up on Relapse (one has already sold out)

They are not numbered.

They are. Got all seven, number’s on the sticker. Not that the number matters much to me.

Wow those sold out fast

They sure did. When I bought my copy about six hours ago the splatter was already gone and the other variant was down to ten. 

Ordered the Indies exclusive. Not as fancy a variant, but the EU CF price is insane, especially after shipping. 

Nightfell - A Sanity Deranged is up at 20BS

with u on that. was a keen follower in their first two, maybe three albums, but lost me after that. still would love to see them live once, but they don’t seem to tour the states these days

Same here. Really dig the first three albums, and saw them play live quite a few times way back when. Haven’t really dug anything after that though

Went with option B2.  Probably not the most limited, but I honestly do not like clear vinyl in any form and think merge variants w/ splatter look rad.

 

Repulsive Infestation is such a sick song.  Can't wait to hear this album.

Also went with option 2, that merge should come out looking pretty sick

Yeah I guess I didn´t explicate myself enough. Since I have to go through the UK itt´s 30€ through their store with added 17€ to ship a 2LP, rounding out at 42£. Even without the album, that shipping price is a stab in the face by itself.

Their shipping is the worst. Might pick up that indie version, which is still pretty damn expensive at £32.99 (without shipping)

If anyone sees these pop up in EU stores/distros, I’d love to hear it

Van Records has a color option for pre order on their site

Probably not their own variant though, as they normally sell the 20bs variants

Picked up that black orb with yellow splatter as well. €22 after shipping, a great price indeed!

Crazy! $50 after shipping (to Europe) but fuck it

Went for the splatter myself. Was impressed with the two songs posted. Grabbed the Ossuarium album along with it

Picked up that Ossuarium a while back, good stuff. 

As far as Immortal Bird’s concerned, I’m really digging that second track they dropped today (“Vestigial Warnings”)

I don't remember seeing this mentioned, so I think it just went up.  New Immortal Bird at 20BS - https://www.20buckspin.com/collections/20bs-vinyl/products/immortal-bird-thrive-on-neglect-lp

Came here to post this. Picked up that tricolor merge.

Finally got my /100 bundle in. Record is warped to shit.

I’ve had a number of Relapse records come in warped lately, unfortunately
