undying - the whispered lies of angels

boy, that's a grail for me right here. many moons ago i had the chance to snag an og colour copy for more or less reasonable money. obviously i missed out and so i was a happy camper to get this on discogs for a real good price recently. i know, there is a colour re-issue in the making but only available in the states, so shipping is a huge downer. goodlife recordings. 2000.

hideous divinity - obeisance rising

first vinyl pressing of the debut of italy's finest hideous divinity. i didn't know it before and boy, did i miss something. i get huge nile vibes listening to it which is a real good thing in my book. the alien green vinyl looks pretty oxblood red somehow... unique leader records. 2012/2022.

parkway drive - don't close your eyes

i absolutely love hardcore and metalcore re-issues from the late nineties and early 00's. have the cd comp since 06/07 and i regard a few of those songs as top tier pwd material. 500 copies made. epitaph records. 2023.

dawn of ouroboros - velvet incandescence

this turned out to be quite a surprise. came across the band accidentally because of the cover and the label they're on. atmospheric, uplifting yet still heavy af. 666 copies on cosmic candy swirl. prosthetic records. 2023.

glass casket - a desperate's man diary

the second and, to date, last full length of this north carolina based metalcore outfit. a real step forward to an already great debut in my humble opinion. released in 2006 and now dusted and revitalised by silent pendulum. 250 copies on frankenflame vinyl. 2023.

glass casket - we are gathered here today...

essential vinyl pressing of an early 00's metalcore classic. originally released in 2003, silent pendulum records brings the heat with this 20th anniversary pressing. 2023.
