Metal!

He finally accepted it!
Awesome, was beginning to wonder what was going on with that.

Also, I streamed Blessed Black Wings three times today. By the end of my second listen I had a completed purchase for a copy from eBay.
The whole album definitely has an epic quality, very much like This Death Is Communion, but I might prefer BBW slightly more. Not sure, only time will tell. But one things for sue, “Blessed Black Wings” is one of their finest songs and “Songs Of Thunder” is the perfect album closer—that drum pattern is just beautiful.

Really happy you are digging them. The older stuff hits for some and misses for others so that's cool to hear you seem to be liking those quite a bit. On the repress front I really can't say outside of this. Relapse seems to like to keep things in print and Southern Lord just put out a newer press of The Art of Self Defense. EOne has put out the last couple albums and they always seem to be in rotation as well so if any are being gouged I'd say waiting wouldn't hurt! Hope this was helpful.

I already really liked the first single. This one is really doing it for me. Fans of Mastodon and Elder, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed... (besides @Goatfish haha)

my friend just passed this along to me as his friend's brother plays in the band OLDE... they sound pretty good so pre-ordered a copy of their new album

hell yeah.. HIGH ON FIRE is great!

I hope they do a new color press of De Vermis Mysteriis as my side 4 of my black copy sounds pretty bad. Fertile Green is fucking awesome!

SWEET! Temple was one of my favorite Doom albums from 2017.

HIGHLY recommend. I just preordered the new one blind I enjoyed it so much.

You may think to yourself 'Andrew WK doesn't belong in here!"

But you'd be wrong.

Yeaaaahh….gonna be a pass from me

 

[Viking Dan]

Yeaaaahh….gonna be a pass from me

Its a bit pricey.

 

[MikeH]

If any non-VMP members want a $50 code off, lemme know! I have one from my former anthology purchases.

 

[Rip_City]

Doesn't seem like anyone has mentioned this one here. Under 150 followers as of this message, which given the previous sentence makes sense, but I've enjoyed this one since early Janurary.
Terrible band name, in my opinion.

[doom metal]

 

[yukbon]

Hmmmm. I'm only sorta into like 2 or 3 of those albums but I can see the appeal. It's still a bit pricy for what it is.

Considering the secondary market value on a few of the records, I think the value is good.

Right now, yeah. No way metalblade doesn't do reissues for these outside of this set though. That label enjoys printing money... I could be wrong, but doubt it.

Oh for sure those will all get reissued again at some point.

 

[Enaz Fox]

I'd be curious of the time frame. The grateful dead reissues were available around the same time as the anthology started shipping so who knows. I'll probably grab up the Cannibal and Gwar at that point.

 

[Max Sterling]

If I were single, I'd probably pick it up for the 3-ish albums I actually want. It'd be neat to have the collection. But yeah, too rich for my married homeowner blood.
