Great Manilla Road pic. I'm still looking for the original "metal" LP

JonahQuizz · Post by **JonahQuizz** » Tue Apr 22, 2008 8:54 am

I've got no pictures yet but it would be these ones:

Marz - Lady of the night
Traitors Gate - Devil takes the highroad
Witch Cross - Are you there
After Dark - Evil Woman (signed by whole band)
Cynic - Suicide
Mythra - The death and destiny
Gotham City - Black Writs
Hiroshima - Taste of Death

Not many top rarities here but I've only been collecting since January this year. I'll fix some pictures later on when there's more in there to be proud of

Nice start to a collection! That Traitors Gate has been on my want list forever. I love the pic sleeve to the Marz EP, but musically I don't like it enough to pay the big bucks for it.
How is that Hiroshima album? I've only heard the single, which is really good IMO.

I got Traitors Gate from a swedish website for a pretty decent price, 100 euros, not cheap but decent. I love Marz! The cover is so great that I'm thinking about tatooing that little alien on my arm and I think lady of the night and daydreamer are great, on the road to freedom is just decent.

Hiroshima is okay but not great, Soldiers of the worls and one or two more songs are really good but the rest tends to be quite boring and....well just simply okay, not bad at all but not good either

JQ- yeah, i got a T-shirt mde w/ that little alien on it

If I were ever gonna splurge on an item just to get the picture sleeve, it would be that one! Lady of the Night is good, but the other two songs are so-so IMO

100 euros for TG is a reasonable price. Every copy i've seen in recent years has either been kinda beat up or sold for more than that. I think there was one nice copy I saw at a decent price, but I couldn't afford to bid on it at the time

Snaps, what's that CROWNEAR LP like? I saw it at a convention, great cover, but the year of release + songtitles + the way the guys looked kept me from buying it...

Well, it's harder than it looks - or at least some of it. It has that typical Russian / Eastern Europe confussion, some hard rock tracks, some speed-metal, some thrash, some strange funky riffs etc etc. But in my oppinion it has some killer tracks in between.

So there is two different pressings of the vinyl?

Maltese falcon seem to be a love 'em or hate 'em band. Some folks RAVE about that album, while others despise it. I remember one of the reviews upon its release called it the worst metal album ever recorded

Yes, at least.

I got Holland press on Roadrunner, and Canada press on Roadracer.

I've heard there might be a Japan release also, but I've never seen it.

Yeah, that was in a review in Kerrang

I think it's quite good - not fantastic, but most certain not the worst album ever
