SkipEsquire Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) Some more metal nostalgia for me. Seen them on the album tour at The Roundhouse in Sydney, got a toy ukulele signed by Mark Morton and John Campbell at Billy Hyde Paramatta before the show and then everyone copied me. Now owned by my 3 yr old nephew. I remember everyone drowning out the lame support band chanting 'Lamb of god' until Randy had to come on stage to defend them, which obviously only made it worse. Got thrown clear across the pit by some obese, comancheros biker, wanker. I have the deluxe CD with the 'making of' DVD which I watched religiously.

Great DVD on this CD in the deluxe edt i agree. Saw this tour also, i've actually only missed one of their tours, great band and the closest to Pantera Live i have seen in terms of sheer crowd manicness - they really get the crowd going. Shame Adler is now no longer in the band, not sure they'll get that same kick from the replacment but i'm keen to see how the new album eventually sounds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patjoy Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I’m normally not into screaming/growling metal but this album has me hooked. Call it blackgaze, post metal, whatever - its a great album by a band that oozes class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkipEsquire Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) 1 man "death doom with funeral doom influences" lol project. Always loved the debut album 'Aeternum Vale' way back in the day. Mrs Esquire has kindly grabbed me a copy on vinyl whilst she's in Germany so I figured I'd check out their latest which I haven't heard before. It's just as good as the other 2, tossing up now whether it's worth grabbing these on vinyl too or picking up the FLAC downloads on bandcamp... Damn records are such an expensive hobby. Can't say I wasn't warned though lol https://doomvs.bandcamp.com/album/earthless Edited November 9, 2019 by SkipEsquire Genre pigeon-holing :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzzFuzzz Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Thanks @Tubularbells Yeah @Darren69, settling in well, finally able to update/grade some gear and source quality music. Found this little gem in the New Arrivals - Metal - Progressive pages of BandCamp. Blade of Horus 'Obliteration' 2018 Lacerated Enemy Records An instrumental version of the album. Brutal, Technical Death Metal from Australia. Short & sweet, well produced with a great sounding bass and bottom end. From BandCamp Sydney based tech death metal act BLADE OF HORUS have released details for their forthcoming second album for LACERATED ENEMY „Obliteration“. The album, which will be released on December 15th, shows the band pushing their blistering technicality, slamming brutality, and heavy groove far beyond anything they have done before. The massively heavy 8 track effort was recorded and edited by James Buckman and drums recorded by Michael Newton at Michael Newton Studios, mixed and mastered by Stefano Morabito at 16th Cellar Studio, and features artwork by the incredible Mark Cooper. https://laceratedenemyrecords.bandcamp.com/album/blade-of-horus-obliteration 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal beat Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Audioslave – Out of Exile. 2005. my fav slave album, but this pressing could almost strip paint off a wall on the some of the tracks, so a few beers first is best- at least its not dull and rolled off 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the heads up on this band @blackangus I have pre ordered the new LP via CM directly, gatefold version. Dark Descent records dont have the gatefold it appears. Also, purchased off Discogs Starspawn, 2018 repress on Dark Descent records. Was suprised at the prices the 2018 repress is still asking with the 2016 first press even more so. You wont find a 2016 press for under $100aud. excluding postage. I contacted Dark Descent on the new album and the versions they have and in their reply they've told me Starspawn has a new press coming out in approx 4 weeks LOL, spewing, The 18 press I bought new and sealed with postage cost me over $100, could have saved myself some coin by being more patient but oh well, got what i got and I guess its still collectable as its sold out and demanding some return coin if I wanted to sell it down the line (which is not likely) moral of the post, if anyone else is wanting starspawn on vinyl, wait and you'll be able to get it pretty easily AND if you want the new LP you have a choice between Century Media gatefold with a booklet etc or the normal version from Dark Descent. I would assume both are pressed the same and from the analog recordings, it should be just packaging that differs... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Hey Bangers. @08Boss302 With my new set up I thought I should spin some of the records I wasn't too fussed about with sound quality... Megadeth 'Rust in Peace' 1990 Capitol Records. Made in Italy by EMI Italiana Spa. I bought this at JB HiFi a while back. At first I wasn't too impressed and thought it was a re-issue, but I've just played it and loved it. A check on discogs indicates that it's an original 1990 Italian pressing. I don't know what to think about that. I can't see JB stocking original pressings of classic Metal albums. I wouldn't think there are too many new originals of this around either, definitely not for $30/$35. What say you guys? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metal beat Posted November 21, 2019 Share Posted November 21, 2019 Nine Inch Nails – Year Zero. original 2007 Euro pressing. the vinyl price of this is crazy expensive. superb album, so damn noisy and distorted - play LOUD. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzzFuzzz Posted November 23, 2019 Share Posted November 23, 2019 GRRRRRRRRRR................. In order for today... Blade of Horus 'Obliteration' Lacerated Enemy Records. Flac download from BandCamp. Posted recently. A short blast of fury from Oz. Instrumental version. Tool '10,000 Days' 2006 Volcano Entertainment. Flac. My fourth or fifth listen to this album. Cranked with a little more oomph this arvo, and it sounded excellent. I don't know what happened, how I missed this band over the years. I do enjoy more intensity with this album. ... to cleanse the palette... Sigur Rós 'Kveikur' 2013 XL Recordings. Lacquer Cut at MPO France. CD. Destruction 'Born to Perish' 2019 Nuclear Blast Records. Listen on youtube. Recommended by @08Boss302 a few pages back. Not a bad sounding upload, and a very strong 'old skool' thrash album. Guitar work is outstanding, the solo's really work with the music and songs. Epic drumming, nothing fancy, just direct and powerful. Nice stuff mate. Cheers. Next up... Death 'Human' 1991 Relativity Records - Relapse Records. Flac. Will be hunting this on vinyl after chrissy. All vinyl purchases on hold. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Boss302 Posted November 24, 2019 Share Posted November 24, 2019 Couple of ripper albums in their @BuzzzFuzzz Destruction definately don't reinvent anything LOL, but having endured the 80's and one of the first major Germanic thrash acts I think these days they do a fantastic job of ticking the box of great thrash. Glad to see you're hunting down the Death Human vinyl, dont hesitate in grabbing the recent relapse issues of their albums. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuzzzFuzzz Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 Hey Bangers. Finally obtained my first three Sabbath Rhino reissues... I did a fair bit of research to finally decide on the Rhino releases. These were purchased from another member in the SNA classifieds. Very impressed with the quality of theses, although the labels on two are not centred correctly. First time ever hearing Paranoid on vinyl... Black Sabbath 'Paranoid' 1971 - 2006 Rhino reissue. Warner Bros. Pressed by Rainbo Records, USA. 180gm. Mastered from original analogue tapes. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigitalDave Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) OPETH In Cauda Venenum I’m trying to get into the new album but it’s not doing it for me yet. I think end of year intensity is preventing me from letting new stuff in. I’m looking forward to seeing them live for the first time tomorrow night Seeing the new material live usually helps to get into it Edited December 13, 2019 by DigitalDave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
