I wonder when you finally switch over to the spanish vinyl scene of the 80's and early 90's. It covers tons of obscure jewels of all genres from Melodic to Power Metal, either those melodic Hard Rock there nearly all was literally a class of it's own.

End of this month german post will change postage rates once again. They said the new system will make it easier to avoid VAT trouble since the customs will be informed automatically when we (Germans) print out the shipping labels and fill out the papers of content of the parcels/packages. Unfortuna...

It's up to the german (in my case) post if parcels would end up at customs or not. If the parcel has correct papers added that shows the VAT was already paid, the parcels will be delivered like usual. If those papers are missing or the parcel wasn't correctly announced at the customs (that's the wor...

The last missing artist/track on this compi is once again Germans Iron Horse with "Invasion".
Guess Americans love german Rumpel Metal ^^

Except of two shown up there that I already own, the same records are some of my long time wants, but current prices are fairly ridiculous. Especially that Thatcher MLP is highly overrated (and musically doesn't deserves that high price) but comes with great artwork. If you got all in one parcel the...

Sadly no soundfile was uploaded to the www yet, but White Friday's track "Witch's cry" is archetypical and funtastic Doom Metal in the Candlemass vein.
The rest of their Demo/Cassette EP from 1987 on the other hand features just 3 ordinary Hair/Glam Metal songs.

Don't know nothing about a 2nd official demo that was released for general public.

That's EXACTLY what I wrote there.

Vicente Ballestar is the artist's name. Awesome Thank you so much. Do you know the name of the illustration? No clue, it's hard to find titles for his horror illustrations that was mainly used for horror novels. Unfortunately we can't ask him anymore since he already passed away. But I must agree, ...

Vicente Ballestar is the artist's name.

Well, wanna add something about the change of styles during the years. As mentioned above, I started in pre-Metal times (before 1986) with Billy Idol stuff, then accidentally liked 80's Deep Purple which led into a Metal rush. One of the first radio shows I heard with a metallic topic ((I probably m...

I'd start with this 12": Artisan - Through till dawn 12" 1989 I'd need wether at last 200 dpi scans for front or back cover (could be 4 parts either, I'll puzzle it together myself) or some high resolution fotos of the front and back cover. I plan to make large stickers to glue on the neut...

While talking with DaN about it recently, he thought it'd be a good feature to add a sort of request thread for album cover scans that are missing on the vinyls/CD's you've bought with neutral or damaged sleeves.
To keep it easier to find maybe you guys should add any request in this special thread.

DaN? Did you rob a bank?
You know my address, if I should keep quiet about your crime, I expect the Thor LP to arrive in maximum 2 weeks.
