I bet he's big on Killen though.  

That's one band whose name I've often seen being mentioned, but never gave their music a shot. Looking at their photo on Metal Archives, I'm assuming they're somewhat in the same league as Warrior or Attila.

Killen is a long time running gag 'round here. They've kinda become shorthand for "overrated crap," haha.

Slaughter- Stick It Live (EP)
ZZ Top- Mescalero

As mentioned, I've only gotten these since I was last here:



While Sunstorm only had a good sophmore release and two sub-par ones. All three PV albums are great pieces of melodic hard rock. Weird since they share the same song writers. I had some credit card points which is the only reason I got this.



Might be better even than the last one. Stu Block is incredible here and the songs are really tight. I really love the cover of my favorite country song The Highwayman. I got this using my tax return when I got a new laptop (my last one would shut off anytime I was on the internet more than five minutes).

Less Than Jake - See The Light
Alkaline Trio - My Shame Is True

I ordered these albums this afternoon:
Helstar - This Wicked Nest (pre-order)
Immolation - Close to a World Below
Nervosa - Victim of Yourself

Some recent additions:

Black Label Society - Catacombs of the Black Vatican (Deluxe ed. w/2 bonus tracks)
Fleetwood Mac - The Complete Blue Horizon (6 cd box set)
Fleetwood Mac - Then Play On
L.A. Guns - Shrinking Violet
Reverend Horton Heat - REV
Matt Sorum's Fierce Joy - Stratosphere

With those Fleetwood Mac discs, I believe I now have all their releases with Peter Green at the helm.

FINALLY. GOODWILL CAME THROUGH.

Shotgun Messiah - s/t
Ugly Kid Joe - America's Least Wanted
Soul Asylum - Grave Dancers Union (replacing scratched copy)
Collective Soul - Hints...
Iommi - Fused (signed copy!)

Yeah I was elated as I was browsing the rack. I've always been a compulsive thrift store shopper--but I've never once gotten that lucky!

Yngwie Malmsteen's Rising Force - Odyssey

Dark Heart - Shadows Of The Night
Ancient Ascendant - Echoes And Cinders

Latest:

The Black Crowes - Freak 'N' Roll...Into The Fog (2CD)
Prototype - Live At The Whisky 1998 (EP) (Digital)

Black Label Society - Catacombs of the Black Vatican - Deluxe Edition with 2 bonus tracks

For some reason, I woke up this morning thinking today was record store day. It isn't.  Record store day is next weekend. However, I didn't realize this until about 10 minutes ago.  Not that it matters. In my small city we don't have record stores anyway.  Not even one.  So in celebration of what I thought was Record Store Day, I drove to the Flea Market which is about half an hour away and picked up some used vinyl for a little less than three dollars each. This is what I got:

Black 'N Blue - Without Love (Man, I like this album!  Always have.  Paul Stanley, I love ya, but let Tommy breathe a little.  The man can really rock when you let him!)
Pat Benatar - In the Heat of the Night
Celtic Frost - Cold Lake
Magnum - Wings of Heaven
UDO - Animal House (Still Sealed)
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak

Salvation Army music haul:

Blind Rhino - Let There Be Pain (EP)
Greg Ginn - Let It Burn (Because I Don't Live There Anymore)
Pariah - Powerless (Promo CD Single)



If anyone knows anything about Blind Rhino, let me know.

Exodus- Fabulous Disaster, for like the 20th time.

It's okay though, since it's one of my favorite metal records.

Found this crappy video on YouTube...


There is a Blind Rhino band on Amazon, but I don't think they are the same guys. This Blind Rhino is blues rock.

Midnite Hellion - Hour Of The Wolf 7"

Finally got my copy of the new Saxon set. Winds up the collection pretty nicely.

Wow, I haven't seen that Hyrda album in ages. I have that on vinyl that I bought from a "budget bin" I think.

CDs:

Blues Pills - Live At Rockpalast

Vinyl:

Blues Pills - Live At Rockpalast - 10" Green Vinyl, Limited #205 of 250, gatefold
Grand Magus - Triumph and Power - Green Vinyl, Limited #71 of 275 with poster, gatefold

My haul from the Sunday music & comics fair here in Zagreb:
