Awesome! The New Testament, Target and Rotting Coprse discs are essential. Don't know the other bands, so I'll check them out when I get round to it.

I always thought that they were called Novy Zavet though, not Novoy Zavet.

Dude, I want the rotting corpse disc. Dave Gryder who played drums and vocals on the heaven force demos also plays on these demos.

I love the artwork on all these Stormspell releases. I wish I liked the music more.

If I can ask how limited is the print run for these? Any chance you will reissue the older material by "Novoy Zaret"? Great Old School Doom!

Yeah, who does your art work? Killer covers!

I got those TARGET CDs last year ... I wish I had held off!

I'll be checking out Ancient Cross. That description sounds great.

I've been looking for Ancient Cross forever. Is this a debut? I'm buying!

How much did you pay?

Somewhere in the neighborhood of 15-20 each IIRC.

It is hard to transcribe a Cyrillic word in Latin, especially when it contains letters which have no equivalent. The closest phonetically would be between "noviy" and "novoy"

He plays on some of them yes. I also got in stock the re-issue of HEAVEN'S FORCE by Open Grave records. It is quite a budget release package wise, but worth the cash for the music alone.

You and liking music? now that's an oxymoron

MIDNIGHT PRIEST & ANCIENT CROSS artwork by Alan Lathwell
NOVOY ZAVET - Uwe Jarling
DARK BLACK - Halseycaust

ROTTING CORPSE & TARGET - original art by respective artists from the 80s (cant recall their names right now).

Looks like I know where I'll be spending some money come pay day.

Good you didn't pay more coz those are bootlegs.

Yeah it is a debut, some 15 years in the making but well worth the wait for sure!

Be sure to spit in the mailer when I order that Dark Black disc.

How could I. Everyone buying DARK BLACK is my eternal friend forever

I have to admit I don't really "get" the vocalist in Midnight Priest. Dark Black sounds a bit iffy too... but that said, Ancient Cross absolutely shreds! Great US power metal, with that very typical Texan sound.
