pemulis Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 However, both the pink and green EU variants note "Exclusive KRM Europe pressing", whereas the black variant does not. Gonna email KRM and ask if the black variant is in fact an EU pressing as well... Damn it! Apparently, I glossed over that bit. Nice catch.

Since those covers are probably imported from US, maybe the records are too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since those covers are probably imported from US, maybe the records are too. importing it all would be pretty cost inefficient. they press EU variants in the EU because it's cheaper, not because they sound better.

ookowalsky Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I´m very sure that the european black deluxe is manufactured in Europe. No way Kings Road Merch imports 500 copies of a double LP on 180g from the States and sells them for the price of 24,95€. Do you guys actually know about shipping costs and custom fees for that amount of records? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helsabot Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 As already pointed out by someone a few pages back: The 'Black Deluxe 2xVinyls' on the EU and US websites are the same pressing and will be pressed in the EU poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickydenim Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Just found these variants on an Aussie site - http://artistfirst.com.au/collections/deafheaven. All the variants show sculptural embossing...hmm! Was going to grab the black but not sure if they'll get in the Eu or the US pressing!

Gumbo72203 Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So, what are we speculating that the cover means? To me, it looks like a dude just face-planted into some cake. Or he's been in darkness, and is seeing the light wash over his face for the first time as a result of Deafheaven's music? poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostTrail Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 The best explanation I've seen is that it looks like a Monet painting of a Slipknot member. Can't unsee. poweredbytrust 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hzielaskowski Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I think it's a sleeping bassist after 5 Red Bulls. http://thehardtimes.net/2015/01/14/deafheaven-bassist-falls-asleep-onstage/ mootloot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
problemchild Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 KRM Europe's response: "yes, the black deluxe is an EU pressing." Black pressing it is! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotfactory Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I would be willing to bet ALL of the jackets will be the same/embossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daegor Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I would be willing to bet ALL of the jackets will be the same/embossed. Me: Re: Deafheaven - New Bermuda vinyl, on the US store all variants list the embossed, spot gloss, 'deluxe' cover, but here on the EU store only black vinyl has this description. Do all variants have the embossed jacket, or only the black? Kings Road EU: only our black version has the "deluxe" cover. So yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanellos Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 So in theory: Black /1,500 coke /3,000? blue /1,000 yellow /1,000 pink /500 green /500 And no word on a HT variant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanellos Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 thought the blue and yellow were /500 each? AU now has the same colors up in their store. So 500 for US and another est. 500 for AU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daegor Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 By that logic coke bottle clear is 3000 There is no indication that these are separated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanellos Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 By that logic coke bottle clear is 3000 There is no indication that these are separated. The fact that the blue is sold out for US but available for purchase in AU alludes to it being so. I dont think they would try and sell /500 blue in the US but hold half of it back for another country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvv Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 AU now has the same colors up in their store.

Its possible but it doesnt make sense. All I know is this is the most confusing/undecidable/unknowing preorder ordeal Ive seen in awhile.
