ephemeral Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Emperor is probably one of my favorite bands but I own the original picture disc box set and everything else so probably no point in me spending 100s of dollars on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerseydave77 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 If this box lives up to what Moonsorrow accomplished then I'm in and will find the way to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iron666monkey Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 For some reason I thought the Moonsorrow box set was $600 for the die hard version, but I'm likely wrong and didn't pay attention to that release b/c I'm not really into the band. I think my assessment of $1K is high, but I look for this thing to be pretty damn pricey. Would love to have it, but I have all their records, so it's not out of necessity. Plus, again, that bank transfer deal kinda freaks me out. Sucks so many people have caused issues for BM that this is the route they have to take.

GhostTrail Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 For some reason I thought the Moonsorrow box set was $600 for the die hard version I thought you may have been right, but I just looked it up out of curiosity and the die hard was $375. So the range was $300-$375 with $25 increments for each level. This is supposedly going to put that box to shame and there was a hell of a lot more work involved. So I think around $500 for the simplest configuration (again, if those are going to exist) is likely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weinerdog Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Bank-transfer-only doesn't inspire confidence when they haven't bothered to update the front page of their web store in 3+ months. http://www.blood-music.com/store-us/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Are Cool Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 He hasn't updated it in 3 months because he is 1 person doing everything and im sure the web page is the last thing he cares about. I don't think I would trust any label more with something like this then BM. Dude is top notch. Cloudsbelow 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarcX Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yeah man, when I found out that the label is run by one guy I was blown away. I think there are other people involved now but it's just stuff like legal and financial advisor and stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lil Pflugey Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 There's only going to be one version he said, and I'd guess it's going to be around 800, the Moonsorrow box was 14 LP's and was in the 400 range, he mentioned somewhere that this was I believe 22 LP's plus it sounds like there's some other awesome stuff besides just the records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 From Facebook: Emperor “The Complete Works” will be a 24-LP, one 7”, and one book box set. This will be the largest extreme metal box set of all-time, nearly twice as large as the one preceding it. It will also be (as far as I'm aware), the 2nd largest vinyl box set in the history of modern music. Many people have asked how Emperor official (with only four albums) has enough material to fill this many discs. The answer is that the material has been cut in full at 45-RPM, which provides higher fidelity in playback. This is a format often reserved for audiophile cuts of classic jazz, blues, and orchestral performances. Months were spent combing through Emperor's back catalog of official and unofficial releases - all the while coordinating with the band - before settling on a final track listing. Ultimately, the box set contains every official Emperor release in its “most official” form, as well as a good handful of unofficial ones which are being made official for the first time ever. As a testament to one of the greatest bands of all time, no expense was spared in the creation of this set, and it even had to be mastered for vinyl in full twice. As mentioned earlier this year, the original mastering was rejected as not being faithful to the original Emperor sound, and everything had to be remastered again from scratch. I have purchased Emperor discs pressed at different times for comparison and am confident that this is the highest level of quality this material will ever achieve, matching or beating out all their previous pressings. This will be a very bold experiment in immortalizing the greatest and one of the most influential bands in all of extreme music. Arguably, Emperor has converted more fans (myself included) into becoming worshipers of black metal than any other band in history. The box set is a presentation in 15 parts, which will start being introduced now ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 I'm going to want this so much. I'm not going to be able to afford this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic_ Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Introduced in 15 parts? Like sold in parts? Maybe I can snag it if it's in 15 payments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostTrail Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 No, he just slowly unveils his projects. He'll likely show off certain pieces of artwork and components over the next two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostTrail Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 It has been written... 700 Euros and somewhere between 75-150 for shipping. Cashier's check is the other primary method besides bank transfer. Welp, it's been fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The set sounds ridiculously awesome, but there are far better things I can spend a grand on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I'll be interested to see how quickly these sell. I mean, it's 4 albums and a TON of extra stuff for somewhere around 800 Euros shipped. It really is quite a feat, what he's pulled off in this set, but are people willing to pay?

anchorlessbodies Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 I have saved 500 bucks for this box but fuck it's double! I am going to pass sadly, but still interested how fast will it sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morfiend Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Yeah, this is way more expensive than I expected. It's too bad the LP's aren't being released individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

74R Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 Not that I don't trust the guy running the label, but wanting over $600,000 up front with a six month wait to receive the item seems insane to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
