I'm actually thinking about doing the pic disc, which is an insane idea. I think it's been decades since I've bought a pic disc and there was good reason. Blue might be a good choice, but I'm thinking it might just look black. The madness of collector decisions!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battra Posted March 16, 2017 Author Share Posted March 16, 2017 Well, to be honest with you, when I reviewed the thing, I didn't know there were colors...I mean, that label doesn't give me great information about the vinyl stuff.... So when I went to order it this morning...it was like...OMG FOUR CHOICES?! I knew I didn't want black or green..because...why get black when you can get colors without shelling out any money? Am I right? So, it was blue or oxblood and in the end, I have blue records, but do I have any in OXBLOOD? Probably none I think. So as it's Satanic epic progressive black metal...the blood color seemed the right choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went blue. I don't have a pic, but it's a nice sort of semi-translucent blue. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reviewed it months ago and knew it was going to be in my to purchase pile, then I finally saw it and I was like...uhh... that's a lot of money...am I sure? I'm cheap. I should mention that. I'm cheap. lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I'm pretty sure the variant colors were more than the black? I would have been fine with black if they didn't have the variants. I have officially went off the deep end and bought the picture discs. Hopefully they don't sound like complete garbage. This will be my expensive research project.

museummouth Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I tried to get into this album but just can't. It's a cool concept but the vocals just don't do it for me. hammertime 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that is more is the pic disc. Direct and cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnMatrix Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I have the blue from HHR. Some awesome packaging too. The triple lp "sleeve" is extremely thick and the artwork looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been getting confirmation emails from Hell's Headbnagers...but I ordered it via bandcamp. I'll admit to being confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicondevil Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 Really digging this. As to be expected, my picture discs have some noise during quiet moments. Not terrible, but there. How does the blue sound? Thinking about another copy when I get cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
