Quite elegantly put!

Mainly two things. 1) It is essentially a "retro" scene and thus limited in scope and potential. I know there are exceptions, but the vast majority of bands are inspired by old school metal, they want to play old school metal and they wear their influences on their sleeves. Very few will h...

It's quite humorous to see you belittle me for my age, when that is besides my point - I was ranting about people who don't discover bands on their own and just get their taste from some sort of "tastemaker" webzine or quasi-celebrity. Wasn’t belittling at all, thought that was clear. Jus...

I've had more (half-)drunk attendees at festivals call me poser than I want to admit, because I really do not look like I'd attend such an event on purpose if you'd judge me based on appearance. It’s ironic isn’t it, that you’d be called a poser for your lack of true metal props to, eh... pose with...

I don't think it makes much sense. It's a bit contradictionary, not to mention juvenile. :wink: Look. I'm a dad. Always had short hair. I do love my arm chair, it's usually where I sit down to spin my records. I listened to Manilla Road before you were born. That's not impressive. I was born in 1982...

In that interview, surely Schaffer must have referred to the artwork that was actually released in Europe, but replaced on later editions? It’s every bit as terrible as the rejected.

”The big 5” are Aspid, Varvar, Asparez, Novoje Vremja and ... ?

Reading this review and your thoughts that it sounds dated for 1986, I think you should have t...

No, that art was never released, but the album indeed had different artwork in Europe and the US initially, and the EU cover is pretty terrible. All subsequent reissues have the US artwork.

t struck me that the 4th KILLER LP, "Fatal Attraction" is quite rare and probably belong. Unfortunately it has eluded my grasp through the years so I've never actually heard it You have! :lol: Roused you out of your daily lunch nap at Muskelrock with that once, so you crawled out of the t...

Matches most other stories I've heard. In the best of worlds I'd start up a Corroseum instagram-account to set things straight but I really need yet another project like I need a hole in my record collection.

You will discover there are RECORDS FOR SALE AND TRADE on Facebook and you'll be down the rabbit hole and quite possibly die.

But yeah, it is useful for the purposes you have in mind.
