Century Media has put most of its old-school titles that are still in print on permanent sale at $6:

Asphyx - Last One on Earth $6
Asphyx - The Rack $6
Oppressor - Agony $3

I've ordered from all three and trust them. Sad to see the old school stuff go, because the nu-skool really sucks, but this means that something's gonna replace the nu-skool with something that could be better.

I know they ordered the new Hirax cd.

Century Media is carrying most of Ultimatum's releases, as is The End Records.

Looks like most of the stuff they are blowing out is death metal.

Well, I'm of divided mind.

If they kill the trend, it might be reborn.

Then again, I hate to see this stuff on its way to out of print.

That's great news about Hirax. Never heard of Ultimatum

those Atheist discs look tempting.

Is this another indicator of the death of CDs?

Thanks for the heads-up. I will check these deals out.

I don't consider stuff like NILE to be "old school" though.
