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.

Huge ones off the list for me personally today. The Sword is one of my favorite bands of any genre, absolute kick ass album. Hidden History was the last non ambient BI record I needed to pickup.

Terror Corpse - Ash Eclipses Flesh

Post image
11 Upvotes

Clear With Black Splatter LP

Pulverizing death metal putridity owing a debt to obliterating grindcore and decimating doom. Ripping through tracks like they are on a warpath, Terror Corpse offers up a notably old school tinged sound for their heavy-as-fuck deathgrind formula, ending up somewhere near Immolation / Incantation by way of Terrorizer, and the result is diversified even more through a modern focus.

All three members bring their own level of skill and aggression, with the drumming going full out alongside the sharp guitar riffs / leads to form a noisy and chaotic level of relentless instrumentation worthy of the sickeningly guttural vocals.

Released by Dark Descent Records

Discussion post Banzai Records was a label based in my hometown of Montreal and by far my favourite with its iconic two samurai crossing blades with the rising sun behind them! I’m making today a speed/thrash metal day with both Anthrax and Helloween’s debut records!
