Derek™ Posted July 15, 2022 Author Share Posted July 15, 2022 Alright all, the deed is done. Order placed! The screenshot above was my cart mockup at Red Creek, so all I did was submit it as is. Bank flagged the payment, I authorized it, and it looks like it went through the second time, automatically. There was no spot to add a note to the label so I just e-mailed them and asked them for a little extra love & care when packaging the order. Thanks for the speedy turnaround and payments. Probably the fastest group buy I've been a part of, from conception to order placement. The last buy I orchestrated took over a year to manufacture the variants we needed, and after being strung along with "your new shipment expectation date" e-mails – every 2 weeks, for about 5 months – we all decided to cancel. I hope the production and shipment of this release goes substantially smoother. hallowken78, Deathbyart and Bronchitis 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 You’re all welcome. At the end of the day it’s like 30 minutes of boxing records and sorting out who has what… and a weekend trip to the post office, but outside of that it lands me a copy for quite cheap so I’ve got nothing to complain about. Now to just hope the Deathwish (US) distro copies aren’t the same variants for dirt cheap. 😅 Deathbyart and hallowken78 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gumbo72203 Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 this is very interesting music. Kind of hitting me in the Viva Belgrado feels. If you are into this band, you really ought to be listening to Viva Belgrado. Glad you're carrying the group buy torch, Derek. It's a tough job, but it's fun if you've got the time. stopxthink and firebird1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcafilm Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 Both songs are terrific, but the ending of Cathedrals is insane. These guys keep impressing me every time they release new music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek™ Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 I think I’m gonna’ hold off on listening to the new tracks. The release date is only… what, 3 weeks out? I hate knowing half of an album through singles before I can hear it front to back. But that’s me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've permanently wrecked the flow in my head for other records I've looked forward to. This is one I expect to wear out like their last two full lengths and want to hear the whole thing together.

Derek™ Posted October 6, 2022 Author Share Posted October 6, 2022 Album is sick. There’s some really cool stuff happening on it. 43 minutes leaves a lot to dig but on first listen, Nympheas may still be a highlight for me – somehow that track keeps getting better and better, and has cemented itself as one of their best cuts, for me. There’s a few tracks featuring cleaner vocals – maybe not “clean” so much as less aggressive – like 2-3 at most. But I actually think they do a great job at keeping the essence of the band rooted, while giving the album some room to stretch its legs and breathe. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some BIR when they’re all in and pummeling… but 40+ minutes of that kinda’ relentlessness would be fatiguing for sure. Anyway. Zero regrets on the pricy PO. I don’t think it streams for another week, so you’re in for a treat whether you try it out digitally or wait for the record. I find it to (already) be miles better than WALTW, personally.

Derek™ Posted October 10, 2022 Author Share Posted October 10, 2022 (edited) Quick update to let everyone know that our copies have shipped as of this morning. FedEx is saying the box weighs about 10 pounds, and is coming from Spain. Pray that our corners survive – more updates to follow in this thread.

Derek™ Posted October 12, 2022 Author Share Posted October 12, 2022 Copies of this are starting to appear on Discogs… the variants available so far look to be right on the money and not at all underwhelming. Eager to see how the splatter and marble turn out. I think they may be shrink-wrapped though. By default I am not going to open your record. I know how to package LPs so that they don’t receive seam splits in transit, and I didn’t intend to open and re-sleeve everyone’s order. If you’re fine with this and trust me; cool. But if you strongly feel as though you’d prefer your shrink-wrap slit with the record removed, that is also okay. I am willing to do that. Please just let me know with a reply in this thread – no need to PM – and I’ll make note of it. Deathbyart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
