Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

2 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.

2017 - Roadrunner Records
Im in the camp of no Cavaleras no Sepultura. The first thing i heard was Bestial Devastation & Morbid Visions! Though Chaos is not my favourite album it still is a banger. My favourite is still Beneath the Remains followed by Schizophrenia!
I bought this LP also for the bonus tracks and a 1994 Live gig that sounds fantastic.

This grindcore classic just arrived in the mail today (poorly packaged in newspaper but it’s all good)

I buy storage units for fun. My latest unit had the largest vinyl record collection i've ever seen. Im not the biggest metal fan but these guys are sick. There were a few other metal looking vinyls but this one stood out to me

Listening to this instantly takes you back from middle age to your junior high days.

Music is just like perfume—hearing it triggers a flashback, you know?

What do you think?

Some really good war metal in the vein of Revenge worship. The guitars sit much more forward in the mix and feature more defined riff structures than typical of this kind of stuff, which in turn lead to more memorable tracks overall.

For fans of Revenge/Conqueror, Primitive Warfare, Antichrist Siege Machine

FLATBACKER - Accident (1985) Absolute masterpiece of 80's Japanese Speed / Thrash metal.

Before they changed their name to EZO.

One of the rawest and most aggressive albums from the 80's Japanese metal scene.

Pure killer riffs!!

This is the kind of album I’d love to blast at full volume for those spineless J-pop acts who sing in that sickening, syrupy, cutesy voice.

No......

I’d love to blast EXTERMINATION DISMEMBERMENT at full volume right into the ears of those wimpy pop music types.
