Twistedshabazz Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 I remember placing an order shortly before the dooomed e mail and it took about aweek and a half to get any update on it. His e mail made it seem like he may fall into times of limbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Got my Dopethrone III from ATIH and there is some sort of pressing defect on side B. It's like a tiny piece of white paper was pressed into the record leaving a bump that can't be cleaned or scraped off. Sucks. Damn, that sucks. I hate when that happens. Does it affect play and did you contact them to ask for a replacement? Totem Cat might sort you out if it's an audible issue. Came here to post this, package received from Kozmik Artifactz today. Very stoked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Cat might sort you out if it's an audible issue. Came here to post this, package received from Kozmik Artifactz today. Very stoked. It's a pronounced tiny bump, so it will definitely affect play. I'm not going to thump my stylus finding that one out. Still waiting to hear back from ATIH. I hate having to deal with this. It's not their fault and not necessarily Totem's fault, but it's definitely not my fault and I paid almost $30 with shipping. Not going to get pissy about it if they don't do anything, but I hope I get a replacement because it's an ass kicker. Also, my love for Windhand knows no bounds. UPDATE: All That Is Heavy just emailed me back and they are taking it back and sending me a new one. YAY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainHerbalLife Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 Good on you. That's usually been my experience. On two separate occasions I've been offered a new record as a replacement. If it's a pronounced bump or warp where the stylus jumps off a bit then it's probably a factory error so that seems only fair. Although I do hate for small DIY operations to take responsibility, it alo sucks to buy a 30$ record and have it not play right. No-one really wins in that situation. My love for Windhand is higher than your assessment of what my love for Windhand could be. Hope some of you catch the reference. I also finally got the Live At Roadburn LP and sadly I must admit that to me live Windhand =/= recorded Windhand. Am I alone when I say that I find Dorthia's vocals to be slightly tired sounding live? Definitely more of an ephemeral pronunciation, as opposed to the powerful, enduring notes she holds on the record. Might sound weird but it's as if she's constantly catching her breath to keep up with the riffing and drumming and it totally ruins it for me. Was the same case when I saw them live over here. Hyped myself up for an absolutely amazing experience and found it to less than what I expected. It was still good, just not exceptional. I'm insanely excited for the new LP though. Trying to catch up to finish up the collection before September comes. still need to get the self-titled and Cough split. Speaking of, I reckon they should be coming out with a new one by this year as well? http://noisey.vice.com/blog/windhand-griefs-infernal-flower-new-album-announcement Also. If you dig Windhand, you will love Church. Not sure if it was posted in here already. Absolutely epic record, with vinyl to be released, coincidentally, also in September. https://transylvaniantapes.bandcamp.com/album/church-unanswered-hymns Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twistedshabazz Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 The few times i have seen them live i think her vocals can get drowned out by the utter volume of the music backing her. Im sure it also depends on the venue ans their sound system. I know some people who saw her on her recent solo tour and said she sounded great.

I don't hear the tiredness that you're hearing, but I can say that singing over a loud band is tough. I was in a loudass rock band and I can tell you that I blew many PA speakers and also had to get nodes removed from my vocal chords. I hope they play by me, though I was watching a video of them playing the Stork Club in Oakland and they had to deal with their asshole sound guy, so they may not be anxious to play here again.

I think I'm gonna pour myself a beverage, fire up a bowl, and blast this new Connoisseur record I got in the mail today. OK, you know what, it's Friday night, I want you push that fucker out for me, yeah! *posts up for a high five* What can you do? lexicondevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedpig Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hey guys, I posted this in the cassette collective thread a couple weeks ago. Thought I'd post it up here incase you mighta missed it.My DIY cassette label has just put out a compilation of UK stoner rock bands, it's available as a free download from my bandcamp.http://solid7records.bandcamp.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustyShackelford Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Anyone seeing All Them Witches anytime soon? They just got copies of Effervescent on vinyl and will only be selling them at shows. They aren't playing near me anytime soon, and I'd love to get one before they're gone. Looks like two different variants on their Facebook page. No mention of it, but the covers look different.

Twistedshabazz Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Boo urns for this going to page 2. Steve from stb has posted a bunch of stuff to fund future releases on ebay. Some of it is just stoner and punk records and some are rare stb releases. If you got a few hundred bucks you can grab the doctor doom test and help fund their next record at the same time! emacs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoshotthefrog Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It's been a while since a new band, no matter what style of music they play, blew me away. This band Church did just that. I was completely floored when I heard this song (posted below). I immediately bought the download and I've been listening to it for a few days now without the slightest ounce of getting sick of it. They play an evil and haunting doom style similar to Cough, Windhand, Warhorse, Keeper etc. The vinyl is not expected to be released until sometime in the fall but I will immediately buy it. Church is highly recommended. I'm just gonna leave this here.... Church is awesome. One of the few newer bands that really has blown me away.

Mars Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Loving that Church as well. Hey, here's a question to bump this back to the first page - why is the Shoegaze thread in main VC message board but both this and the Black Metal threads are part of everything else?

stranaspank Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Got my Sgt. Sunshine in yesterday. I was nervous because I've never ordered from Italy before and heard horror stories, but it made it here. Packaging was scant,but it looks ok. Digging Church as well. I gave the new Goatsnake and Paradise Lost albums a spin. Goatsnake vocals are just too clean for me. PL was pretty, pretty good.
