Volture - Shocking It's Prey

Nice.

Yea, I've been eyeballing that one for awhile now. Finally decided to pull the trigger as I'm on a bit of a NWOTHM kick at the moment. My only complaint is that I wish it were longer.

That's what she said.

Also, back to The Cult discussion from several posts ago...where do you guys Cult collections begin, out of curiosity?

For me, it's Electric. They started into a more hard rock direction, opposed to the goth-rock of their past.

Sonic Temple is where it all came together and really got them noticed though. That had the Rick Rubin hits on it. If someone was looking to start, I'd point them to Sonic Temple and go from there. Electric preceded that one and has hints of what was to come, so I like that one too.

Check this thread for more Cult suggestions...

Mine actually starts with them when they were the Southern Death Cult/Death Cult. I have those thru Ceremony. I don't have anything after that. I really dig the goth stuff that they did, great atmospheres!

They do have a 7" called Rulebreaker, b-side is a cover of an older NWOBHM band...so that's 2 more songs with Brent on vox. It was a vinyl only thing, but Tank Crimes had it on their bandcamp for a name your price download before, I assume it's still there.

The full length with the new singer is good too. Vocals are a bit different, but still really good.

The Rulebreaker b-side is the song "Killer Angels" by Gotham City. They aren't an NWOBHM band, but rather from Sweden. It's a great single. I've got the vinyl and the download.

Got these in the mail yesterday:

Powerlord - The Awakening
Bolzer - Soma
Devin Townsend - Unplugged

Latest:

Accept - Blind Rage (CD/DVD)
Mad Parish - Procession (Digital)
Seven Hard Years - No Place In Heaven (Autographed)



So annoyed. I bought the digital release, only to immediately find out that Stormspell is putting out a CD version. Pffft! Haha.

Accept - Blind Rage (CD/DVD)

Knowledge.

Magnum - The Gathering

Funny story here, someone at one of the Amazon sellers must have dropped a digit from their price, because the normally $30+ set was had (new) for around $10 with shipping. Since three other sellers had prices in the same ballpark, whoever goofed it up must have had competition who had used the "automatically match lowest price" feature.

I want to say I feel bad, but...

Massive - Full Throttle
Reaper - An Atheist Monument
Accept - Balls To The Wall
Accept - Restless And Wild
Accept - I'm A Rebel
Accept - Breaker

Wargod

My copy of Space Invader came in.

I wanted an EP by The Coral a few years ago, but it was always too pricey, around $30 or $40. So I put up for sale my own version, which of course I didn't have, and set the price for $15. The next day, one seller had his copy for $12, which I immediately bought. Then I removed mine. Haha.

My latest:

(HED)pe - Evolution
Imogen Heap - Sparks (2CD)
Space Mushroom Fuzz - Onward, To The Future (EP) (Digital)

Accept - Blind Rage
Ace Frehley - Space Invader

I read this and was very conflicted about whether to congratulate you on quick thinking or finger wag for gaming the system.

I've settled on a very respectable stoic golf clap.

It's not something that can be done often, of course, and it'll only work if they have an automated pricing program setup.

Ronnie Munroe - Electric Wake
Traumer - The Great Metal Storm
Victory - Don't Get Mad...Get Even

Wargod

Bastard Sapling - Instinct Is Forever

Accept - Blind Rage, limited boxset sweet boxset it is.

WWargod

Accept - Russian Roulette
Accept - The Final Chapter

Nice haul.

Thanks. I wanted to grab those Reverend re-issues before they disappeared from existence again. The other ones just sounded so darn good, I couldn't resist.
