bootleg/counterfeit-wave of black/death metal LPs

Post by The Knell »

I want this to be an own thread because it's an extreme case.

Recently loads of bootlegs are being sold that appear to be original including the matrix on vinyl - counterfeits of rarities and bootlegs of albums that were never pressed on vinyl before.
Undercover Records seems to be a link as it seems they were the first label that got a stock of those bootlegs (1-2 days ago), sold them as "original remainders with 100% original matrix", with prices ranging from 25€-30€. (Of course it was obvious that titles like Burzum - Aske EP or Fuck The Slayer could never be original presses).
Rumor has it it's notorious Painkiller Records. I don't know.

The list (not sure if it's complete!):

Ancient rites / Uncanny split LP
Ancient - Trolltaar
Ancient rites - Blasfemia eternal
Ancient rites - Fatherland
Asmodina - Inferno Angela Gossow (Arch Enemy) on vocals!
Aura Noir - Black thrash attack
Borknagar - Borknagar
Burzum - Det som engang var
Burzum - Aske
Burzum - Burzum
CarpathianForest- Through chasm, caves
Darkthrone - 8 norwegian bands tribute

Deicide - In torment in hell
Deicide - Insineratehymn
Desaster - A touch of medieval darkness
Dimmu Borgir - For all tid
Dodheimsgard - Kronet til konge
Dodheimsgard - Monumental possession
Forgotten Woods - As the wolves gather
Gehenna - First spell
Gorgoroth - Antichrist
Gorgoroth - Pentagram
Horrified - Eternal god
Invocator - Weave the apocalypse
Kampfar - Mellom skogkledde naser
Kawir - To cavirs
Malignant Eternal - Tarnet
Mayhem - Deathcrush
Mayhem - Live in Leipzig
Mayhem/Morbid -Tribute to the Black Emperors
Mercyful Fate - Live Hilversum
Merciless - The awakening
NeptuneTowers- Caravans to empire Algol

Septic Flesh - Temple of the lost race
Sigh - Sorn defeat With original DSP artwork!
Tormentor - Anno Domini
Ulver - Bergtatt
Unanimated - Ancient god of evil
Wongraven - Fjelltronen

A seller from Belgium (makes the rumor more possible)

Auction text at least says "fan club release". Wouldn't surprise me if those auctions will go relatively high, though :(.

So, what's next in line!? Maybe I should collect AOR and Reggae only...

Does that mean you would've bought some of those at 25-30€ each?

Yeah, Fuck The Slayer too :roll: i'm sure the absolute Slayer maniacs need to get that one, though.
Some choices just seem weird. Darkthrone tribute? Was there ever a bootleg-worthy tribute?

But how is it possible to duplicate the matrix code 1:1?
That means the pressing plant must be involved in the whole conspiracy ...

Or they just don't care. Money makes you blind etc.

Anyway, I also got this list from "Undercover Shop" with this headline: "Each LP 25,00 Euro and only available until tomorrow afternoon (22.11.2012)17:00 clock".

you can still order these directly from the bootlegger guys for 5-8€ each. production cost is probably less a cent though. they sound like damaged vinyl and the song ends after about 1:30, with a fade out or just abruptly. totally useless!
years ago i got some from mayhem, but probably every bigger selling band exists on 5" square flexi.
