You may be able to message them and see if you bought a shit ton would they cut you a bit of a deal. Halo of flies, eroding winds, a389, all that is heavy come to mind. Most of them already have super fair prices. Sprague Dawley 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprague Dawley Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 thanks guyz will check them out, unfortunately I'm in Japan so with the nutso postage prices from US these days can't afford to buy lp's one at a time and pay $20 bucks shipping. went back and read first 30 pages of thread, and then last 10 pages, weird to compare, start was all enthusiastic and shoppy shoppy, last 10 were bummed out on the greed and fuckhead shipping chicanery couple more bands that surely have been mentioned by now but werent in first 30 pages: THRONES. GODHEADSILO what I think of as totally underrated sludge. share the fantasy lp. PART CHIMP. also on the noise rock sludge end, i am come is a yes. ps, new UNSANE lp in Sep (Southern Lord) psp CORRUPTED / NOOTHGRUSH lp getting reissued soon. at one stage I had almost everything by Corrupted but one day stupidly relaised I really dont like the cookie monster vocals and sold the whole lot.

It happens when you see the prices go up and up and labels releasing subpar bands that start to sound the same. AND all the gimmicky farthard editions. I know it has worn me out a bit. Still love the stoner doom, but getting deeper into black and death recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got: Jordablod - Upon My Cremation Pyre, Blood Tyrant - Aristocracy of Twilight, Slaegt - Domus Mysterium, and Black Cilice - Banished from Time. I really didn't know what I wanted and was a little overwhelmed, but the guy was cool and played me a bunch of stuff. 1 hour ago, QUA1L said: What did they want for that EW?

It was probably from his personal collection and mostly up there to look cool. I wish I had a store like that by me. I remember going to one in SF across the street from Amoeba, but I wasn't buying a bunch of metal at that time. I probably missed out on some cool shit.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 Saw The Sword again last night (buddy got me a ticket) and I have to say...while I had a ton of fun hanging out with my dude, I'm done with The Sword live. They're just a fucking southern rock band at this point. Show was garbage, vocals were all over the place, too many new songs, no stage presence, they played some unrecorded stuff that was just a sloppy mess/not practiced enough to be playing live, opener was awful...just all around a bummer as far as the music went. Crowd was really weird too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much doom/sludge there though jealous of that wall of records pic in post above. NO shops in my town carry anything made this century. All used oldies. Although there was one store that went bust last year, run by an old prog/psych guy who didnt use the internet for pricing... and had a massive blind spot for 90's punk/indie/metal etc. AKA, my wheelhouse. It was a goldmine that seeminly only I knew about. I went every week for 20 years and usually walked out with something that left me shaking my head. Neurosis "Times of Grace" LP for $8? Probably my favourite record of all time. Compared the quality to my own copy then almost felt bad for the guy when I flogged it on eBay for 100 bucks. my take on doom/sludge outlets: Cobraside: pretty good but they don’t even know about Fedex “Great Rates” for us foreign cunts and that’s amateur hourRevhq: never ordered but looks slightly enticingEbullition: great but not so doomyRevolver: best. Hello, ACID KING.Deathwish: never tried but looks good, albeit lacking in the doom.Armageddon shop online: top shit to deal with for us foreign cuntsSouthern lord: great guys great stuff but not quite enough stuffSecretly distribution: top shit for Flying Nun/Touch and Go, no doomy Sounds of california. a weird one. no website. And $25 Fleetwood Mac lp's alongside $9 Suicide s/t. ILD: exclusive distro for SFTRI, Six Weeks etc. Rockbottom prices, no doom.Musicfearsatan: all the doom but wayyyy the fuck too expensive for this cunt.Robotic empire: looks ok but never used, tney never seem to have enough shit I want when push comes to shove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My tattoo artist is from NZ as well, and we just had a discussion last time I was in about how cunt is always used for whatever over that way and not really used too much here in the US Glad I guessed right! As for EW, I "celebrate their entire catalogue" as the saying around here goes, but yeah, Fanatics and Dopethrone are probably my 1 and 2. I like Witchult Today a good bit as well. Makes sense though if I'm remembering correctly. I think those three albums kind of comprise a little trilogy kind of like how The Cure's Pornography, Disintegration, and Bloodflowers do.
