Got the vinyl from Erik last weekend and it's been on heavy rotation ever since.. Song Of The Day cannot be anything but NIFELHEIM - Storm Of The Reaper! I'll borrow that for my song of the day! On the other hand I just spun Witchfinder General - Buried Amongst the Ruins so Soviet Invasion is anoth...

There haven't been that many new bands from this decade that have blown me away. Albums, sure, but mostly from bands that have been around a long time. It's cool that we're seeing a renewed interest in classic metal with lots of great (and several not so great) reissues coming out but as far as orig...

lately i discovered some similarrities in the opening riffs of Tokyo Blade "night of the blade" and Metal Inquisitor's thane of cowder... Metal Inquisitor is the kind of band that does these "homages" ever so often though. Just listen to the middle part of Daze of Avalon and com...

Which Kruger releases are worth getting? Those CD-Maximum releases are quite cheap, are they legit as well?

Is there some website similar to Popsike that crawls through old eBay auctions for CDs? I'd be interested in seeing price fluctuations for stuff like Master's Hammer - Ritual.

Vendetta - Go and Live... Stay and Die

Uriah Heep - Demons and Wizards

Well, there are always nice fellows like this gentleman:

Whatever festival Riot is coming to, that's the one I'm visiting. Best news of the year?

Will Sarcasm come out on CD as well?

Defender - City ad Mortis

This might be a bit of a stretch but seeing as there are quite a few Nipponphiles around - does anyone listen to the power thrashers in Volcano? Their first full-length Violent is a favourite of mine but I've never seen anyone discuss the follow-up Davi. Did they continue in the same style?

Weird. You say you saw it a while ago but the date of death on Wikipedia is yesterday. Haven't seen this mentioned anywhere else.

Nothing beats Blasphème's Désir De Vampyr as far as I'm concerned, but I'm still quite new to the French scene so there are probably tons of great releases left for me to discover.

Oh, I thought they would be much cheaper. I bought The Dwelling two years ago for about $25 on eBay. 900 copies were made of all these releases, right?
