Apparently, some guy suddenly sold a small portion of his metal collection, for as I walked into my favorite used record shop this afternoon I was overwhelmed by the quantity of quality metal releases that I found.
Here’s what I’ve already picked up as a result of extensive prior listening experience:
Vomit Remnants “Supreme Entity”
Mithras “Worlds Beyond the Veil”
Suidakra “Lays From Afar/Lupine Essence”
And here are the CDs that I carefully wrote down and chose to leave behind, because even with some general knowledge of these bands below, a limited amount of financial funds leaves me hesitant when purchasing records with which I have had zero prior listening experience. Unless otherwise noted, all these items are either priced at $5.99 or $6.99:
Star One “Space Metal: limited edition” ($9.99)
Spock’s Beard “Snow” ($9.99)
The Fucking Champs “V”
Ensiferum “Ensiferum,” “Iron”
Deeds of Flesh “Inbreeding the Anthropophagi”
Axis of Advance “Strike”
Falconer “Falconer”
Bathory “Nordland I” ($9.99)
Neuraxis “Imagery,” “Truth Beyond,” “A Passage into Forlorn”
Vomit Remnants “Indefensible Vehemence”
Forest of Impaled “Mortis Dei,” “Forward the Spears”
Darkthrone “Panzerfaust”
Fate of Icarus “Cut Your Throat Before They Do”
Lord Belial “Angelgrinder”
Mortuary (Mex) “Blackened Images”
Severed Savior “Forced to Bleed”
Right now I am leaning towards taking the following titles to my home when I leave the store tomorrow, but any opinions written here and elsewhere will be carefully evaluated and properly weighted when it comes time to make said purchase:
Deeds of Flesh “Inbreeding the Anthropophagi”
Star One “Space Metal: limited edition”
Ensiferum “Ensiferum”
Darkthrone “Panzerfaust”
Please feel free to highlight any albums from my master list that should be considered essential, given their fleeting availability and impressively low price. Thanks in advance.
And now I’m off to go read some more reviews while continuing my current frenzy of P2P downloading on Soulseek. Cheers.
