The Corroseum

Anyone know why both High Roller & CUlt Metal classics have near-identical CRUCIFIXION anthologies released this year? The HR collection includes one extra song, 'Sacrifice', which I'm unfamiliar with. Does anyone know if one version has better sound quality, better packaging/liner notes, etc? Much ...

While comparing 2 Neat Records copies of Venom's 'Welcome to Hell' LP, I noticed that the lettering on the labels were different colors; one copy had blue lettering while the other copy had green. Discogs lists 2 additional colors too : silver & red. Do these different colors correspond to different...

Mordred- I figured Rhapsody would support my theory. I bet Stratovarius does too, but I'll let someone else do the legwork to confirm that suspicion. Kit- I hereby put you in charge of testing Track 5 Theory to see if it does indeed apply across subgenres. If so, we may have actually stumbled upon a...

This story is from last month, so not very retro-kvlt but what the heck.... Title: Things You Don't Expect to Find While On Your Way to Pick Up Your Kid From Day Care My wife and I actually managed to have the same day off for the first time in months (exactly how every Record Hunting story begins, ...

Hans- cool one! Recently went to a record fair here in the Southern US. Pics not available, so you'll just have to read about what I found: Starz- Violation LP (overlooked 70s hard rock band) Misfits- boot recording from Michigan, 1983 Misfits- 12 Hits from Hell unofficial release Venom- Welcome to ...

Hi folks- Yes, it's been awhile since I visited. Been a kinda shitty year at home and at work, but things have settled a tad, so I finally caught up on some Corro reading. While doing so I noticed that Noisenik had posted a reply in my old RUNNING WILD thread expressing interest in trying to prove m...

Hey Alan, I like your "track nr. 5"-theory, and would love to have time to prove it or disprove it. Alas ...

Oh, we can go there brother, we can go there.........

A couple that I may have mentioned in previous threads: Stormwarrior- they rehash a lot of old Helloween (Walls-era) and Running WIld, but I have no problem listening to their albums over and over. Orchid- 'Capricorn'. Blatant rip-off of early Black Sabbath. It's not a milestone in doom in any way, ...

Glad some folks found this ramble interesting and funny :-) Sorry I didn't follow up sooner, been very busy at work AND breaking in a new computer too. Been working my way back through the RW catalog in recent weeks, so let's do some quick hits..... GTP Is indeed a very catchy album, and better than...

thanks for the clarification about this project!
BTW I've enjoyed some of the other TMU releases, nice work!

TL;DR I like Running wild a lot. What do y'all think of 'em? THE UNABRIDGED VERSION Let's start by skipping all the obvious pirate cliches in this review and just hoist the anchor so we can set sail on this topic..... Ooh, avoiding the pirate puns is gonna be harder than I thought. Disclaimer: I con...

Saw this advertised recently and the concept left me scratching my head. So musicians from a bunch of different groups, most-all of which are underground cult acts from the 80s, are now recording new material. Amiright? I guess that's cool. Kinda. Maybe. It implies there are folks out there thinking...

Kristian- that's cheating! You have to pick which gold nugget is slightly less shiny than the others. My knee-jerk response is usually 'Let There Be Rock' (the fact I had to stop and think for a moment to recall the album title indicates this is indeed the album I should answer with). I have to base...

Brought to you from the collective mind of nightsblood and bigfootkit, who both love this era of AC/DC. But when you're ranking things, something has to come in last. You may love that last place finisher, but you just don't love it as much as the things that you ranked higher. We decided we should ...

So while playing an old favorite on youtube this afternoon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC306YiymqU I noticed the video mentions an upcoming Manimals collection 'Studies in Scarlet (1982-2012') to be released on Auburn Records. Yay! Oh shoot, there's a catch. The video is from 6 years ago. And w...
