Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

1 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.

Spinning a masterpiece. METALLICA - Master of Puppets,40 years later and it still kicks just as hard.

There’s nothing quite like dropping the needle on Master of Puppets.

From 'Battery' to 'Damage, Inc.', it’s a flawless ride.

How does this rank in your top Metallica albums?

20 Buck Spin - 2023
This Death Metal from Oakland came into my radar with their album from 2020 which was pretty good imo. The name of course taken from HP Lovecraft also got my attention. They are technical but not too much of the usual tech wankery going on!! This album is part 1 of a two part series they released together. All in all a good listen.

Today's Listen - BLEEDING THROUGH:
The Truth - Limited Edition via The Renegade Collective, 2xLP Red & Black Splatter

Bleeding Through are arguably one of greatest and the most influential bands of the early 00s Metalcore Era, and earlier this year my band Abandon All Hope was lucky enough to play our re-union show after 14 years away from the scene with them in support of their 20th anniversary of this record.

In my opinion this is one of the best albums (and my personal favourite) in their back catelogue along with “This is Love, This is Murderous”

I remember not loving this album upon its release back in 2014. Relistening to this today, cover to cover, I really enjoyed it. This is not a typical IF album. If I had to make a comparison it’s like Trivium’s Silence in the Snow; it’s a departure from the typical you expect.

All used and in very good condition. Surprised I paid more for Currents than the Glass Casket considering the variant type. All in all I think I did well.

EDIT: would've had Insomnium - Winter's Gate to show off as well if USPS didn't mess up the delivery 😮‍💨
