I got this Admiral of Black album coming, along with 4 others from the $5 bin. Hope they have some staying power!

Which ones did you pick up MG?

Admiral of Black - Hands of Chaos
Alliance - Stand in My Way (melodic proggy/thrash)
Broken Ohms - Nocturnal Emissions (stoner rock)
Fused - The Obliquity of the Ecliptic (stoner rock)
The Stoned - s/t ep (stoner rock)

Along with some decent sound clips, they all received pretty decent reviews outside of cdbaby, so I thought it was about time. Funny though, when I looked back at my account history, of the last 11 discs I purchased (not including this latest order) only 5 of them remain in my collection. I hope I have a better track record with this batch. They're all more-or-less "blind purchases".

Just those 5 that I listed for now. I added a few to my cdbaby want-list, but I want to check 'em out a bit more before I commit to purchase. Plus there were a few that I considdered that I found cheaper (we're talking $.28 cents) on Amazon.

Yeah,I've found that alot of times if you check Amazon,they'll have some of those for little of nothing.

Another thread made me remember these guys. Saw them open for Helmet in Chicago and they blew me a away. INSTANT FANBOY!!

Realize that I commented on this thread 1 year ago today....But I am still a fanboy. I cannot find any info that they have done a single thing about 2 years though. Anyone have any info? I am assuming, and would willingly bet, that their third album would be an asskicker by this point.

I'll have to break out Hand of Chaos again and give it a fresh spin. From what I recall, it was pretty sweet. Hope I still feel the same way a year of so later.

Great band and my first listen from these guys was their song Bitten by a Rattlesnake that I purchased on Rock Band Wink

Looks like these guys have put out another album. Or ep, I guess. 7 songs? Is that an album's worth or ep? Can we get a ruling on this?

I enjoy their first album, so assuming they didn't go all folk/electronic/death/accordion soft rock on this new release (2011!?!), I'll enjoy this one too.

I still haven't picked up their second album. I should do that now since I thought the first was excellent.

As for whether or not it's an EP, I usually go by length. Varga's latest two, for instance, are just six songs each; but both are over 40 minutes long. To me, that's an LP.

Then again, is a punk album with 72 songs that runs for just 25 minutes an EP? Who knows! Haha.

Yes - it is killer. And a full length. Some of the tunes are epic.

They only have Hand of Chaos and this new one, Blood & Fire. As far as I could find on their website anyway. Is there another album that I don't know about?

Got any copies laying around? I'd gladly bid a penny for one. Razz

Those are the only two I know about. Wish they would record more.

Or maybe 2 cents? Sold both a couple months back. Definitely get Blood n Fire. Very heavy with gigantic power chords.

Oh. You're really late to the game then. Haha. If that's not a brand new album, then it's a few years old. And I still need to buy it.
