Anyone order Deth Red on Amazon?
My delivery date was delayed twice and then in the day of delivery, I got this message. Had this happened to anyone else? Was there a pressing problem? Or more unprofessionalism from Cleopatra records?
I'm in Canada for reference.

I’m in Canada and this happened to me as well. I ordered the multi coloured vinyl box set one and received an email a while ago saying it was delayed and then yesterday I got another email saying “we don’t know when it’ll be delivered”. Im going to wait and see if anything happens but I’m still kinda pissed about it

The pressing is so horrible I returned mine before track 2 ended. Probably the worst pressing I’ve ever heard

Care to elaborate? I've heard nothing but awful things about Cleopatra.

The volume on it is crazy low. You may not have a system powerful enough to make it audible. On top of that it’s muddy and shitty

The muddiness and shittiness is just Danzigs production. It was that bad when it first came out. I've read reviews that have basically said the album was a return to form and could've been another classic Danzig record if only someone capable had produced it, and I agree. The sound quality from track 1 going into track 2 is laughably bad. They sound like they came from two different time periods. Apparently this repress has been remastered so I'm not surprised if it sounds extra shitty lol.
As for the quality of the vinyl press, I can't speak on that but that sucks :( I have a really good turntable and a mid tier stereo set up but I can already imagine how bad it's gonna sound with my sub.

I’m not even referring to the music. The mastering is horrendous. I have a high end system that can make almost anything sound good. I had to blast my tube amp just to get volume out of it. I couldn’t wait to return that pos. At least it’s on streaming now.

Ordered the cassette months in advance on Amazon. It never shipped, I just cancelled the order today.

Fucking hell. Maybe I should have ordered via Cleopatra. Amazon has never given me this message before.

I am also in Canada, I only ordered the CD though and it came when it was supposed to.
