V3XED Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) After something like 30 years of teasers, PO's have arrived for Vildhjarta's new tunes "masstaden under vatten" Three? Four? Singles out now, all of them have been bangers. [USA / WORLDWIDE] https://www.indiemerchstore.com/collections/vildhjarta https://www.indiemerchstore.com/collections/vildhjarta/products/vildhjarta-masstaden-under-vatten-2x12 [EUROPE] https://www.vildhjartastore.com A bit disappointed in the vinyl offering, first time ever doing black vinyl, and no colored variants to speak of. Oh, and of course its $$$. They did allude on their IG to some perhaps extra variant that will be USA specific, but it was not clear. So I am going to just snag this for now, sucker that I am. Enjoy.

I might cancel my order... https://www.cmdistro.de/Artist/Vildhjarta/1496 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still comes out to ~$40 per LP after shipping for me, but yeah. Saves $20 if your buying both albums. Colors sound.... interesting...

V3XED Posted December 2, 2021 Author Share Posted December 2, 2021 I know we don't like them anymore, but also seeing listings on BM. Free shipping if you grab both, now down to 32$ per album. Less than 1/2 the shipped cost of the webstore variants. Unclear what color if any your getting though, hopefully not a run on standard black.... https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35334724/vildhjarta-måsstaden-forte https://www.bullmoose.com/p/35334726/vildhjarta-thousands-of-evils-forte Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted February 3, 2022 Author Share Posted February 3, 2022 Oh hey funny seeing you here! Wait... its just me 😂 Anyways, talking to myself but can confirm the color's for the very affordable bullmoose represses. Masstaden showed up on a trans. magenta w/ black smoke that looks stellar. Thousands of Evils is a trans green with white smoke, mine was very light on white but still looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billich0986 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 I received both of mine but haven't given them a spin yet. Will need to soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V3XED Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) I think the mastering sounds really good on both! Listining to the digital "forte" It didn't seem that impactful, but comparing the first run of vinyl to the new editions is a big contrast. A lot more dynamic and rich with perhaps a few weird choices/moments where the vocals feel a little flat. That being said..... side A of my "Maastaden" has a lot of surface noise which is a huge bummer. --edit-- After giving it a double clean it actually sounds muchhhh better. More than I would have expected. Was filthy in the grooves. Side B and all of "thousands of evils" are great though 😓 Edited February 7, 2022 by V3XED Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
