faceless burial - multiversal abattoir

loved the last record of these aussies. "speciation" from two years back was a real blast and so i was always looking for their preceding releases. bought this re-press of the band's 2018 e.p. from grindpromotion as well. me saco un ojo records. 2018/2022.

ænigmatum - deconsecrate

what an album. dazzling proggy/tech death metal from the united states. took me way too long to get a copy. bought this through italian grindpromotion records. love the artwork and vinyl colour combination. 20 buck spin. 2021.

amon amarth - the avenger

one of the last gaps in my amon full length collection. a few years back when metal blade did already re-press the band's back catalogue, i somehow missed out on "the avenger". well, not again. orange pastel marble vinyl looks classy. metal blade. 1999/2022.

kittie - spit

the second record i bought at silverspeed records, potsdam was this record store day release of kittie's debut "spit". back when it dropped in 2000, i listened a great deal to this album. to me it aged surprisingly well. would love a re-press of "oracle", too. mnrk heavy. 2022.

vision of disorder - imprint

my wife and me been to potsdam, germany two weeks back for a little vacation without the kids. of course, i looked for the local vinyl store - silverspeed records. a little cramped and stuffed but i came up with two nice finds. first was this music on vinyl pressing of vod landmark album 'imprint'. quite a steal for under twenty bucks. roadrunner records/mov. 1998/2018.

darkane - inhuman spirits

back from the dead. after nine years when their last album dropped, these swedish melo death dealers are back. maybe not as great as "insanity" or "expanding senses" but i really do enjoy this album. miss andreas sydow on vocals a bit, though. massacre records. 2022

mercyful fate - don't break the oath

wacken open air is around the corner and i'm going to see the first live shows since february 2020. mercyful fate is also on the bill and so i thought it couldn't hurt to get involved. bought this og roadrunner pressing from 1984 on discogs for a real good price. great album by the way.

knocked loose - a tear in the fabric of life

constantly evolving their hefty hardcore sound, the buzz this band's creating couldn't be more justified. this new e.p. is a beast and this second pressing on grey marble a.k.a. silver, black, white galaxy looks ace. 3.000 copies pressed. pure noise recordings. 2021/22.

waking the cadaver - authority through intimidation

this band has quite an underground reputation since they were washed up in the mid 00's. this actually my first physical copy of one of their releases. what a blast of slam death metal which is as short as it is enjoyable. unique leader records. 2021.

cathexis - untethered abyss

such a good slab of dissonant, progressive death metal from these u.s. boys. another brilliant release by willowtip records and i really like their random vinyl colour-ways. 300 copies made. 2021.
