jhulud Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 OMGVinyl: Opeth - The Wooden Box Uh, this thing is pretty intense/awesome. Viva Hate posted news about the forthcoming box-set from silky-haired prog-metal masterminds Opeth sometime last year and I have been patiently awaiting proof of its existence ever since. Well, it looks like the hour is at hand and “The Wooden Box” is ready for mass consumption. At $175, its obviously pretty extravagant, here’s the rundown from the label. “Opeth - 6xLP hand numbered wooden box [*:9n3593eo]A massive handnumbered wooden box with printed details on it [*:9n3593eo]An exclusive box shirt design (first 400 customers only)[*:9n3593eo]An OPETH LOGO STENCIL [*:9n3593eo]6x 180g Vinyl on wonderful WHITE VINYL ltd.200!!![*:9n3593eo]A alternate artwork containing embossed logo artwork and decent album details printed on transparent paper This box contains Opeth’s first three albums “Orchid”, “Morningrise” and “My Arms Your Hearse”. This is where everything began… HURRY, those will be gone fast!” Considering what other prog-metal outfits have charged for similar boxsets (I’m looking at you Mastodon) this is actually a pretty fair bargain. No word yet on whether or not Hot Topic will be carrying an exclusive vinyl color… check out more pics and ordering details at vivahaterecords.com: http://www.vivahaterecords.com/shop/index.php?controller=home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloamingtime Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I somehow managed to get one of these even though I can barely afford it right now. It's an awesome looking set. And the price is pretty decent for all you get with that. PS. The shirt is designed by Seldon Hunt. That was a neat surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troymess Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Great looking set! Just not really into the band enough to warrant that kind of change... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voodooramen Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 For me, I am just not into those albums enough. Plus I don't have the cash to throw at it now. I saw this for preorder on some other site a bit back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainreck Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 i decided to pass on this. too expensive and celebdeath's bad experience with them makes me not want to take the risk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest duhpunk Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 A little too much to spend right now. Plus, I already have Orchid and Damnation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ijux Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 anyone received theirs yet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gloamingtime Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 I got mine last week. Black. The little track list cards are not as fancy as they sound. They're actually kind of lame and annoying. But I'm not going to complain, this set rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AsleepOnRocks Posted May 23, 2009 Share Posted May 23, 2009 I've dealt with these guys twice, once for the Pelican re-issues and once for this Opeth box and have had nothing but awesome communication and shipping. Granted, the Pelican LPs took a while, but there were manufacturing issues with them, so that's forgivable, to me at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you ever receive your records or even get a reply to your enquiries, celebdeath? yeah, i should've updated my post. i received the record last week. it was slightly damaged due to shipping but it was eventually received - after numerous emails from me asking about it. fact is though, they should;ve sent it with the other one i received from them back in february, as i ordered them at the same time and they were for the same damn record, just 2 of the different variants. at least the records did arrive eh! still wont order anything from them again. stress is too much, especially when there's big money riding on it.
