troymess Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 My brother just moved to Boston and said the Veloz dudes are awesome and I should've probably checked this out by now. Thanks for the reminder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karmicswamp Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 thanks for the kind words and support everybody! im not exactly on top of my game in the hype department but i feel like people are starting to get stoked on these records, and that rules! maybe the sentiment that good records can stand on their own merit in 2010 is more than blind idealism!

karmicswamp Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 yeah i think that totally fulfilled chris' lifelong dream - to play a hatebreed set to a room full of drunk people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I checked out both bands online and they are killer. I ordered both records for the reasonable cost of 15 PPD. I recommend this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmicswamp Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 thanks for the good words! HATE records are down to 13 or so copies on my end ... get on this if you want it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 STILL waiting on these records to be shipped out. Emails haven't been replied to. This is starting to look like a scam. Has anyone received either of these albums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karmicswamp Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 sorry to make you feel this way rod... the HATE records have had crazy delays with the covers that the band screened making it down here, it has taken 3 months to ship a package of covers that wouldve taken maybe 6 hours to drive myself. so all orders with VELOZ records have gone out, but the HATE records have been continually delayed. i tried emailing everybody and letting them know what was going on, but its hard to hit everybody. rest assured that everybody that ORDERED a record WILL GET a record. it is my personal and business philosophy to fulfill every order that is placed with me and see it thru to the point where that record is spinning on your table and filling your home with turbulence. it is not however in my business practice to make a record appear in your life in under two weeks, or whatever ridiculous turnaround time these SAM'S CLUB distros offer in order to compensate for the truly shitty music they get you in the end. i want to thank everybody that ordered these records from me, and i look forward to hearing in the end that the wait was ultimately worth it.

I ordered the HATE record along with the Veloz record. Is there anyway you can ship out the Veloz record on it's own and just send out the Hate record when you get that all worked out. It says in your previous post, "all orders with VELOZ records have gone out" but I still haven't received mine yet. Let me know what you're willing to do.

monsterrod Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Ordered on NOV 13th... I still haven't received the Veloz or the Hate record in the mail. Coming up on the 3 month mark and my emails are no longer being responded to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptrsev Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ordered on nov 2, I'm also waiting. Seemed like a solid dude too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Karmic Swamp sent out this email on 11/14/2010: has been held here for an extra couple of weeks due to printing problems with one of the inserts, an exceptionally graphic Anal Cunt / Hate flier. so maybe this is really just some of their bad karma trickling down on all of us? anyway the inserts are done now, and the HATE records should be out and in your hands very soon! thanks for the patience! josh // KARMIC SWAMP Then on Dec 5th 2010: hey greg, your package should arrive (media mail) sometime in the next two weeks. be sure and let me know when it gets there! josh On Dec 23rd 2010: greg, no youre not alone, when i got covers in the mail, i only got enough to fill maybe half the orders, so lots of orders that include the hate record are waiting on those still. sorry for the inconvenience, i just wanted you to know where your records were, and that you will be getting them soon! josh and most recently on Jan 30th 2011: hey guys i FINALLY got covers this week, records going out next week! josh Feb 15th 2011 and still no records. These emails contradict themselves over and over again; Josh states that he has the covers/records, then the covers are delayed, the he says they are IN THE MAIL, then half the orders went out, then he sends an email saying that he just got the covers in. I wouldn't recommend ordering from Karmic Swamp. I will post this in the best/worst customer service thread as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just to keep this thing updated, Josh sent me an IM saying my 2 records were shipped out yesterday, 28FEB. We'll see if I get them within a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 josh advised me that they would be shipping out yesterday, feb 28th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsterrod Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Good news: The Hate record actually came in the mail today after 5 months. Bad news: It was sandwiched between two pieces of cardboard that were taped together. The cardboard was so thoughtlessly thrown together that a corner of the sleeve was protruding from out of the "packaging." Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture. Oh, and he forgot to send the Veloz 7" that I ordered with the Hate record. So, five months into this debacle and I'm only halfway done with it.

ptrsev Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've finally received my package too, got it last week. Ordered two 12"s and two 7"s, and everything arrived in perfect condition. Dude even threw in a free 7" for the wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
