yeah, an additional single would be awesome!

Rex's art would look cool in a larger format such as an LP. But I never have owned a record player so it's a little pointless for a mook like me to buy.

You should get a record player. Because you can buy plenty of lp's for 1$ 3$ or 4$, and the sound is much better sometimes because sometimes the remixes to cd didn't sound as good as LP, like Twisted Sister Albums, and one Bloodgood LP I have, where you can't hear the Bass on the cd, but you do hear it on the LP

Well, if the Ultimatum LP does as well as Avenger of Blood, Merciless Death, etc. After the initial pressing sells out, the resale value on Ebay nearly doubles. I saw the AoB colored vinyl sell for $100 a couple months ago. Insane.

I don't have a record player nor do I collect vinyl but if those bonus things are included then count me in.

They were from the 80s and were probably fans of old school metal. But who knows? This was their theme song:

Thanks for all your support. Just waiting on the proposal from the record company. Hopefully this will happen sooner than later.

As for the pre-order bonus items, I think a poster of the cover art will be cool. Thinking maybe a 12 x 12 album flat type poster. What do you all think? I'm also getting good feedback about including a guitar pick.

How about a lock of your hair as a bonus?

Might as well. It's all falling out anyhow.

Don't send Spec any DNA. He will use it for bad purpuses.

Talked to the record company last night.
Everything is looking good. We discussed pre-orders getting an
autographed poster and signature guitar pick. Looks like the pre-order
price will be around $20, I will let you know for sure as soon as I
know.

count me in for a pre-order. 20 is about the going price for new vinyl.

Any more info on the vinyl?

Yes. The contract is coming in the mail this week. Looks like it will happen. Probably a VERY limited pressing of 300 or 500. Preorders will be limited to 100. Green vinyl. As soon as I know the date of release, I'll let you all know where you can pre-order.

Spoke with the record company today. Looks like pre-orders only will get an autographed 7" vinyl. Far better extra than a guitar pick or poster IMO. What say ye?

Ult the Irons!

Awesome! The bonus single just sweetens the deal! Does the record label have any interest in pressing your older releases on vinyl if demand for into the pit vinyl is high?

I'd be willing to bet they would if the demand was there.

I'm gonna frame it!

I have several albums framed and on my wall.

You can count me in for one.

Also, there are a couple record stores here in Austin that have killer metal sections...I'd be willing to talk to them about carrying it if you're interested. (or I can send you contact info).

Cool. I'll let you know when pre-orders will be available and will get that info from you.

WAY better than a poster! Most posters end up in my filing cabinet or strewn about because the wife won't let me decorate the house w/ them

A 7" bonus vinyl (like MSW's latest) would be spiffy! I'm in for a pre-order once you're ready!
