I think it might be their finest yet. And that’s coming from someone who ranks their super early stuff as their best.

I run an Instagram account called Records With Googly Eyes, not sure if that counts? A lot of records are user submitted though. Last year I tried listening to one record every single day and writing a little bit about said record and ended up posting them all on my personal IG/fb just because it was cathartic for me. Beyond that I’ve got nothing.

Posted this in the stoner/sludge thread but since it might get overlooked by some: https://www.dropdeadhc.com/ if anyone’s looking for US-based copies of GRIEF - “Turbulent Times” GRIEF - “And Man Will Become The Hunted” Ben from Dropdead is doing US distribution for Throne Records. Picking up my copies tomorrow, can’t wait!

LFG

I’ve been holding off on buying The Dusk In Us. I had some (both?) of those 7”s they released around the same time but sold them because the pressing quality was meh. I guess this is a sign to grab a copy. I might wait until prices go down a bit but I’m glad I held off for so long haha also, I’m still not sure how I feel about Converge post-You Fail Me era. I’m trying to collect each release up to and including that album but I got lost after No Heroes. That album has some bangers but everything afterwards just never quite resonated with me the same way.

I am 100% here for this 😍

Not disagreeing with you at all as far as cost goes. Personally I think the whole wax mage culture is toxic as fuck. That said, labels like Silent Pendulum and Wax Vessel typically offset the cost of making/selling wax mages (which you normally see sold for $100+ from other labels) by charging the same, or close to the same amount for each variant across the board. I’m the old timer that just wants a plain and simple black record with zero aesthetically pleasing frills so I normally just pass on records that are marketed as “super duper exclusive” unless it’s a grail or something I can justify splurging on.

I had never heard them before, this is REALLY good. Does anyone know where I can find a distro copy of Thank You For Being Here in the US? The only places I’m finding it stocked are in the EU/UK

Found it! I'll report back!

I think the first time I heard anything from Valtari was when I saw the scene from It’s Always Sunny where Mac comes out to his dad. What a powerful scene. That might be my favorite album too, but AB thru Takk all get a lot of plays for me as well!

Can’t wait to smoke some bud and drift off to sleep tonight with this as the soundtrack, if I can find the leak on soulseek.

He was SO GOOD today! I went in with zero expectations and it was incredible! Ended up buying a print, hopefully one day he’ll put out his solo stuff as a physical format

That and Seer are my two favorites. Although I’ve been listening to the new record more than Death Spells ever since it came out. Those first few tracks feels emotionally devastating

pg. 99 - “Document 8” and “Singles” repress available on Cris Crude’s new label, Persistent Vision. https://persistentvisionrecords.com/?fbclid=PAAaYaHsaYOrhmWL2rDITbvP2n1Rp316EO3zD76O6pUAl5jJE7hKuDoH1m5NA_aem_th_AZSGjTdd6WuLpWXy9C_rqdufovS46fFfXS1pS1qGl4T5MD5fAs8M-4cpO18fsDMA-Uc

I’ll keep my eyes peeled. in other news: Dead Broke Rekerdz just announced they’re going to be re-pressing the Hickey LP!

They were always a band that flew under my radar. At least until ~ 2020 when I saw their name mentioned EVERYWHERE. I tried numerous times to get into them and it just made me want to listen to "The Fire In Our Throats..." by Pelican. Not saying We Lost The Sea sounds cookie-cutter at all, but it just never resonated with me for some odd-reason. A few weeks ago I finally revisited them and it all clicked.

Much cheaper than Discogs/second hand prices. someone sent me the link two weeks ago and I thought it was too good to be true but I just got my copy in hand today.

https://thirdmanrecords.com/products/heavy-rocks-2002 I feel like we should have a Boris master thread since they release like two new records every year. Maybe we can start using this thread for all things Boris?

So they had it coming? Got'cha!

Hopefully the allegations aren’t true but until proven otherwise, I stand by and believe victims

The point system ATA has is nice too, I have like 1200 store credit points (so about $12 in credit) unfortunately I don’t think it works for pre-orders

I have some ideas of who it could be, even though that was far before my time. Hoping I'm right on one of them haha

Ooooo, I'm curious/anxious to see what it'll be! I'm a big fan of the vinyl discographies that are coming out!

Haha yeah, I think I was just too excited to even check + I was at work and couldn't look at my phone very long when placing the order. I keep forgetting Fat Wreck repressed the last two LPs as well.
