This question is not for me because I am not really searching for these CD's at the moment but my collector friend is. So two questions:
1. As far as rare japanese releases - is japanrarehunter a legit guy? I know he shill-bids but is his stuff legit, non-bootleg releases? Or did somebody get bootlegs from him?
2. Any idea how to tell the japanese Nexus Heavy Load bootlegs apart from the real ones? Different matrix? Some differences in the OBI etc?
Concerning japanrarehunter , I'm pretty sure he does not sell fake Japanese cds. Personnally I prefer buying Japanese pressings from Japan because the condition is rarely overated. Beware of resurfaced cds though.
The false Japanese pressings of Heavy Load have titles as matrix so it's easy to distinguish them from the original. They don't have a transparent area around the hole too.
I double checked and I think it a legit one. Granted there are bootlegs out of Russia of those Chrysalis Armored Saint titles (and boots of the japan pressings too I think) but this seems legit. Also does somebody know how to tell the recent Russian bootlegs apart?
Did anyone buy Scald "Agyl's Saga"? Some two or three days after I got it the tray of CD1 simply detached from the digipack. I don't even want to know what kind of cheap glue it had been fastened with. And I hadn't even been hurling that or something. So my question is did it happen to anyone else?
Other than that, I have no reason to complain. I used to consider "Will of Gods..." as boring, but later I realized that can be at least a cool backgroung for fantasy novels reading. And the demo recordings to be found on CD2 are great too, although I can understand if someonfe finds them too amateurish.

Same here...
Apart from this, "Will of gods..." is of the few post 2000 classics. Demo is very good, too. Interesting audio document, as well.
