Isn't Kiss the largest metal box set of all time?

 

seems like harmless trolling and genre clarification is an incredibly stupid argument anyway (as is what is the largest metal box set of all time) but in case your sincere my answer would be: 

 

Kiss by the standards of today's heavy metal fall more in line with classic rock, just as Black Sabbath and Zeppelin do. Sabbath is still "metal" because they basically fucking created it but that is more a consideration of influence and era than it actually refers to the aesthetics of their sound. And both those bands are way more fucking metal than Kiss. So as far as "heavy metal" as usually understood today this is probably the biggest one. 

 

obv there's no right answer but that'd be my take on it. A Death box set, on the other hand, I'd call metal. on a personal note though I don't know if I'd even call Kiss "music."*

Yes ... the Kiss box appears to be the largest of all-time - if it winds up coming.  But Kiss is rock n' roll.  If we need to extend it by saying "extreme metal," then so be it. :)

 

... and finally - the Die Soft Edition!  Thanks for letting us run through this whole thing with you guys.  

 

These go for public sale on May 28th at 5PM Finnish time (should be 7AM Los Angeles, 10AM NYC, 3PM UK, 4PM Germany, 11PM Tokyo, Midnight (29th) Melbourne).

I know.  There are still a few copies left of the all but the clear version.  My birthday is tomorrow.  The white or black edition would be pretty sweet.  Not a huge fan of splatter vinyl in general.  The clear set would have been tits to own because of the signed Thanks list but I really just want the vinyl and the DVD.

 

I'd be curious to know how many of these sold through the preorder thing that Blood Music does for membership holders.

Didn't think the splatter edition would get past the members so I ended up grabbing one of those over black. It'll be a fun wait until August.

 

Same here. It's a lot of money but everything I've received from Blood Music is exceptional and arrives absolutely mint including my copy of Beyond Creation that just arrived!
