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??.

analepsy - quiescence

extreme death metal from portugal right here. the opener and single "locus of dawning" promised a bit more than the whole album can keep up with but it is still a very enjoyable listen. 200 copies on this clear with green/blue splatter variant. agonia records. 2022.

decapitated - cancer culture

solid new offering by poland's decapitated. death metal with a modern take but without sounding too hipster-ish. like it a lot. gold with black splatter vinyl. nuclear blast. 2022.
