dog eat dog - all boro kings

a milestone of the crossover genre and some kind of proto nu metal, if you will. great album! re-pressing on clear yellow vinyl. originally released in 1994. metalville records. 2022.

billybio - leaders and liars

another energetic slab of hardcore from the biohazard mastermind billy graziadei. love all of his work and this sophomore solo album is no different. clear red vinyl. afm records. 2022.

nightbearer - ghosts of a darkness to come

great osdm by these german death dealers. their second album and another winner in my book. orange marble variant out of 100 copies. testimony records. 2022.

inanimate existence - the masquerade

very happy to have been able to buy this from a european source to avoid those damn shipping costs and risks from the states. found this to my surprise on amazon germany. least limited colour-way but frankly i don't give a shit. great tech death record of a band that really developed into their own kind of monster. ritual variant limited to 450 copies. the artisan era. 2022.

obituary - inked in blood

long overdue re-pressing of this great comeback record of florida's finest - obituary. first record for relapse and what a belter it is. cloudy red vinyl out of 2.603 copies. relapse records. 2014/22.

replicant - malignant reality

dissonant space-themed death metal from the states. that one needs repeated listens, but pays off eventually. 100 copies on this merge variant. transcending obscurity records. 2021.

kreator - endorama

re-issue of the band's last album from their weird nineties era. i love those albums, "renewal" and "outcast" in particular. to be honest "endorama" falls a bit flat in comparison, though. still worth it. red with gold marble looks suspiciously just like plain red vinyl, if you ask me. but what do i know? 200 copies made. afm records. 1999/2022.

undeath & devoid of thought - sentient autolysis/cosmic apotosis

definitely here for the undeath part. i am not really a fan of their full length efforts (of which i sold my vinyl copies by now) but this split is the shit - at least undeath's part. nice presentation by fucking kill records. 108 copies made. 2019/2021.

the dillinger escape plan - under the running board

after i bought the re-press of the mike patton e.p. a few posts back, i definitely wanted this e.p. too, as it was on my want list for way too long. found this nice merge copy still sitting at a german shop (scr metal) for retail price. 1250 copies made. relapse records. 1998/2016.

deftones - around the fur

took me way too long to get a copy of my favourite deftones album on vinyl. nothing fancy, though. black vinyl copy i bought on a flea market. maverick records. 1997/20??.
