If you are facing problems, please try both stores (USA and rest of the world) - Good luck !

nwinkler Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Managed to order the Red/Green editions - great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Shipping sucks, and the wallet hurts right now.... but I went Red/Green. I just want to hear these one vinyl once, and then will just offload them for cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just feel these albums don't have the notoriety that the other 3 big ones do (Salvation, SATH, EK). So it will be interesting for me to see the response! I bet they saw the response for EK and thought "Yup, we can make some money here..." haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2notepockets Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Grabbed a green The Beyond, finally got a most limited variant of a CoL reissue! I saw them twice on tour for this album as support for Poison the Well in the UK on the you came before you tour. One show had thrice playing between the two before they blew up just after the artist and the ambulance was released... Venue must have been about 400 cap. A month later saw thrice again, sold out a 1200 cap venue as headliners lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i emailed them about this, asking for clarification. It seems that it still ships from the UK.... I also asked if it is possible to combine orders with the Eternal Kingdom vinyl, since that was only what... a few weeks ago?

Earache is a great label and released a lot of big albums in the past but nowdays is basically only active for re-pressing/re-releasing records over and over again, which is not necessarily a bad thing, they make OOP records available again and this is great.

I have these two albums on cd but I never listen to them, just because I don't think they are especially good. So I'll pass on these two re-issues.

Hahaha well there it is. And yeah, they really are milking the back catalog. But man, what a lineup.... all those Morbid Angel albums, Entombed, Carcass, Gorguts, etc etc etc. The classics, really.

nwinkler Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 The Beyond is great, but yes, the progression from there to Salvation and then SATH and Eternal Kingdom was immense. Still some good songs on The Beyond, and I like the feeling of aggression on that record. The S/T LP I don't like that much, sounds pretty generic to me - I don't remember much of it, even after repeated listens. Still looking forward to having both on vinyl...

ephemeral Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I don't even care if Earache is "milking" their back catalog and not really releasing anything great new. It's definitely enabled me to get some classic metal albums at a good price with a decent pressing (all the ones I bought sounded great) and Eternal Kingdom is my favorite COL release so definitely grabbing this. I was late to the game discovering COL so picking up Salvation and Somewhere Along the Highway for a good price was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Seeing as these have been up for a week and the most limited still hasn't sold out, I'd be very surprised if it does haha. We'll see! Can't wait though, been listening to The Beyond in my car. Some heavy stuff in there! nwinkler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwinkler Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Just wanted to say that I received my copy of the self-titled debut album (in red vinyl) last week. Haven't listened to it yet, but it looks nice, and the gatefold packaging looks great, too. No sign of The Beyond yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last 75% of this album is really great. The first actual song is alright but its all amazing from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandy Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 They did release the new Wormrot record in 2016 which is amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just finally got to spinning this today. Love it! I think the final song is my favorite. Like Maycausedeath said, the opening track is good but not great, but everything else is really solid. It's cool to hear this and see the trajectory they would take, and try to tease out the parts of this album that eventually lead to the other stuff we hear later on. It's there. Can't wait for The Beyond!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbo72203 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Spinning my green The Beyond now finally! This thing sounds really great! I was expecting the low end to be a bit punchier but it that's a minor detail; it's a little underwhelming vs. what I was anticipating. Either way, it sounds really good! Nice and quiet pressing. Its fun revisiting this older stuff and seeing where the later albums came from and trying to pick out the pieces from this early stuff that would lead them to the later albums.
