I no longer have a international credit card and and I no longer buy physical CDs. But I could start to buy stuff from itunes and such when I acquire a new card and stop "stealing" music. I know , I know ...
I was really hoping to finally find a copy of A Gathering of Demons. (I was lucky enough to find a copy of Play God on cd years ago in a $2 bin in a rap music store.) This is still awesome news though.
lucky catch. But what were you doing in a rap music store??
Sorry--just saw this^^ but, being a cd junkie I go into any store I think sells used cds (certain book stores, video game stores even thrift stores) You never know where some fed up parent will dump off their (adult) kid's cds that they are tired of storing (while they are in jail.......). Just kidding, but I do search everywhere.
I was fortunate enough to get the two full lengths several years ago for $5 each at a used CD store. I would like to get these for the EPs but with very little spending money it just won't fit into my budget.
I'm certain of it. I've heard clips thanks to YouTube and I have the EP as a DDL and it's headbanging stuff. Anyone know how long shipment takes to Ca?

Good news: music is INSANE, and in many ways actually better than the Howe era of MC. God, what a band. Korban is a great guitarist and writer, and between the EP and both albums I can't decide which is better. It's all consistent and great throughout. These will not be leaving my stereo(s) for some time. I also enjoy the liner notes and photos.
Bad news: I really hate to be a debbie downer...
First thing I noticed right away when I threw on World Won't Miss You was how muddy the mix was, I had to back the bass waaaay off and even then the guitars weren't driving on top as much as I've heard from the youtube clips. Upon further analysis, sorry but these remasters have been horribly compressed, with most tracks on World ranging from DR5 to DR7. The original albums scaled at DR11 to DR13. Now, it's not fully brickwalled, but it's close, with clipping happening more on Play God. The mids are pretty hollow as well compared to what I've previously heard. Cranking it up makes it much worse, and when compared to other metal releases of the era, just doesn't match that classic sound. This was a major oversight IMO, and I'm certainly going to continue to pursue the original pressings. Still happy that they're seeing the light of day and getting some recognition.
I also need to scan the EP tracks to see what kind of tinkering was done on those.
On a final note--I really miss David Wayne. RIP.

Not sure why I haven't ordered these yet. That nasty procrastination bug got a hold of me I guess. I'll wait till Tribunal is sold out, then piss & moan that I didn't get them when I had the chance.

I finally got both releases. Earlier this morning, i received world won't miss you and gave it a first spin on my way back home.
Solid album. Needs more listens of course. Wayne's vocals are excellent.

I still pull 'em out once in a while. Really fucking heavy stuff that grows on you. I still stand by my opinion on the mix though; it's a swamp.
