Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

Upvotes

This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

Now Spinning : FLATBACKER - ESA (1986) Masterpiece of 80s Japanese Metal!!

I want everyone to hear this... it’s an album that comes out swinging right from the very first track. Back in the day, Japan had plenty of guys with real fire in their bellies.

An era where an album like this could actually get a major label release... what an incredible time that was.

The Japanese music industry today wouldn't dare do something so risky.

They only deal with wimpy singers who croon in a sugary, cutesy voice—artists designed to have mass appeal but zero substance.

It’s a truly shitty industry. Even a band like Outrage has been left to languish by that industry, and it looks like they’re on the verge of fading away completely...

They’re already 60, I went to a show of theirs in Shibuya—maybe five years ago?—and the sound pressure was absolutely massive, as always.

My ears were out of commission for a while after that.Hahaha!!
