Post Your Hauls

Wintersun - Wintersun, Dream Theater - A Change of Seasons. They're both stunning, and DT's When Dream and Day Unite is to arrive soon.

Latvia... Wtf.

The last cd I bought was Weird Al- Bad Hair Day

I bought Dream Theater's Once in a LIVEtime off eBay recently, and within the next 2-3 weeks I'll try to acquire Krux's Krux or Dream Theater's Live at the Marquee, though I don't know if I'll be able to.

Once in a LIVEtime is their best live album, in my opinion.

Yesterday I bought all of DT's live DVDs, and today I bought Within Temptation - Mother Earth and If Only - Axion. The latter isn't really my tastes in music, but I know the drummer so I felt compelled. :P

Last Saturday I bought Crystal Planet by Joe Satriani. :cool:

Rhapsody - Tales From The Emerald Sword Saga. It kicks arse.

:link:

Dream Theater - When Dream and Day Unite.

Yes, It finally arrived. "The Killing Hand" and "Light Fuse and Get Away" are my favourite songs on it right now.

Two weeks ago, I...

- Ordered Mullmuzzler - Keep It To Yourself
- Ordered Mullmuzzler 2
- Pre-ordered James Labrie - Elements of Persuasion.

So far, only Mullmuzzler 2 has arrived, though I am expecting KITY tomorrow. Unfortunately, MM2 came with a dent in the spine. :mad:

OK! Now for something less Dream Theater related:

Suffocation - Effigy of the Forgotten / Pierced Frow Within - 2 albums, 1 set
King Diamond - Fatal Portrait / Abigail - 2 albums, 1 set ($7.99, I couldn't resist)
Hammerfall - One Crimson Night - 2 disc live album

I would love to suffocate King Diamond :)

arriving on thursday or friday is ayreon's the human equation. and I'm thinking about ordering into the electric castle, too.

I ordered Eldritch's Portrait of the Abyss Within on amazon.ca yesterday.

Good job :cool:

I bought nightwish's angels fall first and dream theater's live at budokan cd set today. they rocksor.

Morbid Angel - Covenant
Strapping Young Lad - SYL
Vader - The Beast

Bass blasting good times. I should have a review up for tomorrow, yay!

lol

Bought Nightwish: Once and Dream Theatre's Awake from HMV today. I think I'll start buying more cds.

Bought...

Angel Dust - Enlighten the Darkness
Angra - Holy Land
Liquid Tension Experiment
Jordan Rudess - Feeding the Wheel

...on Wednesday. Of which, I received EtD and FtW yesterday, and HL today. Still waiting on LTE.

ayreon - the human equation
ayreon - into the electric castle
agalloch - pale folklore
therion - crowning of atlantis
dream theater - fifteen years since dream and day united
dream theater - under the covers
dream theater - master of metallica
dream theater - city of angels

Burzum's complete collection. Though I now have two copies of certain discs it's a neat little package put together by a store manager I know.

Was that actually sold as a package (like the 1992-1997 deal that they have) or all the cds in the discography bought at once?

Yesterday I got ahold of:
Annihilator - Set the World on Fire / In Command (1 set, 2 albums)
Suffocation - Souls to Deny

Annihiltor's incredibly corny but entertaining and that Suffocation cd just sucks, stick with their older stuff if you're interested.

Yeah, I just now saw it was limited to 1000 copies but it'd still be pretty neat to have. Here it is: http://www.metal-archives.com/release.php?id=20975

That's pretty cool of them to do that for you. I own Hvis Lyset Tar Oss (such a good album) and I have Burzum/Aske and the first three songs on Filosofem on my computer. I'm really interested in Varg's other cds though, despite his being a raging tit and all. Gah, I'll even admit that I've read many of his writings because they're so interesting and informative even though they're sometimes laced with ideas that I find dispicable.

Hah, I don't know what it is about the guy, but you love to hate him, and you hate to love him.

Though I haven't had a chance to read any of his stuff, it would be interesting to do. I'd like to see what goes on inside his head.

Here's a website that posts many of Varg's articles and even contains two of his full length books, although only one is English: http://www.burzum.org/eng/library/

I recommend the "A Burzum Story", "Paganism" and "The Viking Age and Christianity in Norway" articles towards the bottom of Articles and others section.

On the subject of cds, I'm about to put in a massive order from http://www.theendrecords.com and get their Gorgoroth and Blind Guardian package deals and a few other goodies. Oh, and has anyone had the opportunity to listen to a band called Manegarm? I just found their website today and have been very pleased with the full-length sample tracks they put up. They range from straight black metal to a folk blend of the former. Seriously, check them out if you're interested:
[url=http://www.manegarm.com/shop/evigtid.mp3]I Evig Tid[/url] (folky and sooo awesome)
[url=http://www.manegarm.com/vargaresa.mp3]Vargaresa[/url] (this and the next are bm)
[url=http://www.manegarm.com/daughtersofeve.mp3]Daughters of Eve[/url]

Post your latest haul, include the price if you feel necessary.

The Essential Simon and Garfunkel (Excellent)
The Romantic Piano, by Chopin (Relaxing)
The Worst Tribute to the Offspring (blasphemously bad)
Smash, by the Offspring (I knew it'd rock, it does. .. again)
The Dance, by Fleetwood Mac (my favorite songs LIVE)
Greatest Hits, Dio (Good stuff, gotta listen to it more)
Images and Words, Dream Theater (Disappointing, I only got it because once in a livetime was so good, but it's not worth the three or four other songs)
Let your dim light shine, Soul Asylum (haven't listened to it yet. It probably sucks, but it was .99)

grand total-67 dollars

No use in having the same thread in two locations. Merged.

Today I bought:

Nine Inch Nails - The Downward Spiral Reissue (I had an unhealthy obsession with this cd for the longest time and the remastered material, which is noticable by the way, with the bonus disc will only bring that back. It cost me $30 though... yeah, I'm trying not to think of that)

Apocalyptica - Reflections (It's an ok cd and it was priced at $10.99. The artwork is beautiful)

[font=georgia][color=#ccff00]Angel Dust - Enlighten the Darkness
Angra - Holy Land
Jordan Rudess - Feeding the Wheel
Liquid Tension Experiment

This was quite a while back, now - I should go buy something new soon. The grand total was about

Death - Human and Individual Thought Patterns.
Nile - In Their Darkened Shrines
Kreator - Enemy of ***
Venom - Welcome to Hell.
Meshuggah - Catch 33 (I actually only bought it so I could review it. Unique)

Ulver - Nattens Madrigal (Wow... just wow)
Immortal - Blizzard Beasts (Way different from their newer stuff. I have yet to decide if this is a good thing)
Burzum - Det Som Engang Var (I like it more than 'Burzum/Aske' but less than 'Hvis Lyset Tar Oss', though they're all hardly comparable. Good stuff, and like the Immortal album, this sounds more stereotypical of the Black Metal genre than his other material)
Metal for the Masses Vol.III

The Easter Bunny deserves an intense rimjob this year.

Edit on 4/1:
The Doors - The Doors. Excellent stuff. I'd much rather have gotten L.A. Woman or Strange Days but FYE didn't have it and I'm much too lazy to drive forty-five minutes to get either.

I just bought Strapping Young Lad - Alien on amazon.ca. Good stuff, soon to arrive in the next few days.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=4715741171&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:I
****ING YAY. I HAVE NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPY OVER A SINGLE PIECE OF MUSIC.

I got Metallica's St. Anger single while I was in Japan. The Ramones covers weren't too bad at all. I would've gotten In Flames' Whoracle or something like that, but Japanese import CD racks have absolutely no ordering at all (it's like half of A followed by V followed by the other half of A, then R.E.M. and crap like that), so I really couldn't find anything I wanted.

Yesterday, I bought on eBay:

Draconian - Where Lovers Mourn
Dream Theater - Through Her Eyes single
Candlemass - Live

And it was cheap, too.

Today I bought Dream Theater - Lie single on ebay.

ebay buys:

Waltari - Rare Species
Dream Theater - 1996 Christmas CD

shop-bought:

Dream Theater - Falling Into Infinity
Dream Theater - Once in a LIVEtime

Supertramp

Breakfast in America

Bought it at a independent music store. Support your local independent
music store.

I just bought Agalloch's "The Grey". Only 1000 copies of it were ever made, and people keep saying it's shit, but it's worth owning in my opinion.

My very first vinyls:

Agalloch - The Mantle (2LP) - Limited to 500 copies with new artwork, etc.
Agalloch/Nest Split - Limited to 1000 copies

I'm really, really excited about these.

Cds:

Ainulindale - The Lay of Leithian (Mostly folk instrumental stuff with occassional spoken lyrics. It all has a very dark ambient feel which reminds me a bit of Nest)
Antimatter - Saviour (Ambient music headed by Duncan Patterson, the ex-bassist and lyricist of Anathema)
Burzum - Filosofem (I'm trying to complete my Burzum discography. Great stuff)
Burzum - Hlidskjalf (Varg's last album. It's supposed to be the best of his Ambient works)
Empyrium - Songs of Moors and Misty Fields (Very folk inspired)
Ulver - Bergtatt (It's supposed to be the best combination of Folk and Black Metal)

They're all ordered. I'm just waiting for delivery.

Last week:

The Rolling Stones - 40 Licks
Cannibal Corpse - 15 Year Killing Spree (I'm not a huge fan of the band but I figured I'd give this best of a shot. The 89 demo is pretty damn good)
Uriah Heep - Rainbow Demon (Live cd)
Tool - Undertow (I rebought it because my copy was too scratched to play)
Tool - Aenima (" ")

I've been working a lot of hours, so I'm getting bigger paychecks which means more cds. I've got the job for spending money like this and to keep myself occupied, so I suppose it works out.

Two days ago, I pre/ordered...

Dream Theater - Octavarium
Rush - 2112
Liquid Tension Experiment 2
Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
Blind Guardian - Imaginations Through the Looking Glass (DVD)

And yesterday, I ordered Derek Sherinian - Mythology.

[quote=Shin-Ra]I'm really, really excited about these.

Holy shat, where did you find those? I've been all over the net searching for them, and there's no results no matter what I do... How much did they cost you?

[quote]Empyrium - Songs of Moors and Misty Fields (Very folk inspired)

You WILL be keelhauled if you don't send me that. ^_^

Today I got Behemoth's Demi*** album. It's absolutely wonderful and I plan on getting more of their material in the near future. I also got a record player, so that'll help with my other orders. Now, I didn't have any records laying around to test on my new equipment so I went to Goodwill and picked up The Sound of Music Soundtrack, a Merle Haggard single, a Devo single and some performance of the Boston Symphony Orchestra that had neat cover art.

Star One - Space Metal. I'm really excited about this one, simply because it has a song based on Frank Herbert's Dune, and a cover of the Bowie song Space Oddity.

Ayreon - Day Eleven: Love
Ayreon - Day Sixteen: Loser

I'm looking forward to the alternate versions of these songs and those other bonus tracks. Yay for singles.

The Doors - L.A. Woman (It hasn't left my car stereo. I can see this being one of my favorite cds of all time)

Decapitated - The Negation (Good technical death metal with some nice thrash elements. I'm liking this Polish death metal stuff more and more)

Blind Guardian - Somewhere Far Beyond (Slay them thar dragons)

I just bought both Liquid Tension Experiment albums on an impulse, and it seems to have been a very worthwhile impulse indeed.

mmm technical

I bought Dream Theater - Octavarium yesterday.

I also bought Explorer's Club - Age of Impact because it was cheap.

I just got Ayreon's Day Eleven: Love single in the mail. It's great... But I'm trying to find downloads for the material that you can't get off ayreon.com anymore. ...anyone?

One post per purchase, thanks.

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth - Well... there's one decent song on here. I'll probably sell this back to FYE. I never thought I'd say that about NIN, but this cd is bad.

Strapping Young Lad - Alien - Make way for breeding!

Johnny Cash - Love, God, Murder - Wonderful three cd box set. "Folsom Prison Blues", "Delia's Gone" and "Don't Take Your Guns to Town" are my favorites, conveniently all on the Murder cd.

Music related:
Tickets to see Behemoth, Nile, King Diamond and Black Dahlia Murder on the 18th.

I last got Two Shoes and Sly (the single) by The Cat Empire. The album is similar enough to their debut, but almost completely lacks the energy of their previous songs. Sly and The Car Song are great, but everything else is subpar. There are more keyboard solos though, which is fun.

Where do you under-working-age Brits get all your money, anyway?

Actually, 15 is working age over here...not that I've got a job yet. Looking for one, though.

I do have a generous grandfather, parents who put

I go into town to buy food for people, I sell my tube travelcards for half price at the end of the day whenever I'm in london, I inherited

Ayreon - The Final Experiment
It arrived yesterday, and I forgot to mention it. It's very, very medieval and folky.

Dream Theatre ~ Metropolis PT 2: Scenes From a Memory - Pretty decent, if I do say.

Nightwish ~ Wishmaster - Simply LOVE it.

Apocalyptica ~ Inquisition Symphony - I enjoy most songs performed by them.

Mercenary - 11 Dreams

Supremacy V2 0 is a good song, so the whole album should be, too... I hope.

Frameshift - Unweaving the Rainbow
I only bought this because it featured James LaBrie and I'd heard comments to the effect of "it's good, worth buying", but having checked the website for more info on it, I'm -really- anticipating its arrival, more than any of the other albums.

Rush - Different Stages (box set)
hi Khaos ;] I'm still just getting into the band, but 2112 was awesome, so I've got high hopes for this one.

Helloween - The Dark Ride
I've heard it reputed as one of their best studio albums yet, and I have a shirt with its cover art on, so I decided it was about time.

Winter Rose - Winter Rose
Don't have any clue how this'll be, except a single track downloaded from a p2p. The track rocked, but it'll definitely be pretty different in comparison to the rest of my collection.

Opeth - Lamenations

i'm watching it now. good lord i love Opeth...

I went on a cd benge this week when I went to see Behemoth, Nile, Black Dahlia Murder and King Diamond in concert. At the show I purchased a ton of Behemoth cds and the like. Also, Nergal of Behemoth happened to be standing at the back of the small place of the show and happily talked to people (myself included) and even signed a few of the cds I had bought/brought with me. Later that night my friends spotted a couple of guys from Nile (Karl Sanders included) standing outside of the place and I once again had the oppportunity to talk a bit with them and get them to sign some stuff I brought with me. It was all pretty fun and the show itself was fantastic, though I did find it rather hard to hear until the next morning.

New albums:
Behemoth - Conjuration (signed by Nergal)
Behemoth - Zios Kia Cultus
Sodom - Agent Orange
Cattle Decapitation - Humanure
Samael - Reign of Light
Samael - Ceremony of Opposites / Rebellion
1349 - Beyond the Apocalypse
Bathory - Bathory
Suffocation - Despise the Sun
Behemoth - Thelema.6 (vinyl signed by all the band members)
Darkthrone - Soulside Journey
Darkthrone - Transilvanian Hunger
Led Zeppelin - Zeppelin III

I got these cds that I already own signed as well:
Behemoth - Demi***
Nile - Black Seeds of Vengeance
Nile - Amongst the Catacombs of Nephren-Ka

Dream Theater:

The Silent Man
Through Her Eyes (Japanese Import)
The Majesty Demos
When Dream and Day Reunite (DVD)

Ayreon:

The Human Equation

I bought a "The Corrs" album, Marvin Gaye- What's Goin On? A Genesis album, and a Collective Soul album, Heart's Greatest Hits (the band is called Heart). I don't remember some of the names. Cost me like 20 bucks total. . . a total steal.

The Silent Enigma - Anathema, and The Quiet Place - In Flames

The former was a bit of an impulsive buy, and it seems decent so far. Although I could've bought Dark Tranquillity's Lost To Apathy EP and some random Metallica bootleg with The Quiet Place for the same price... :(

I would've bought Judgement if it was there.

Manowar ~ Battle Hyms
Slayer ~ Diabolus in musicia
Iron Maiden ~ Number of the beast
Pantera ~ Great southern Trendkill

Camel:
Camel
Mirage
The Snow Goose
Moonmadness
Rain Dances
Breathless
I Can See Your House From Here
Nude
On The Road (Live)
The Single Factor
Stationary Traveller
Dust And Dreams
Harbour Of Tears
Rajaz

Caravan:
Caravan

Roger Walters:
Radio K.A.O.S.

Brian Eno
Music For Airports
Days Of Radiance (with Laraaji)

Well it turns out I'm a huge Camel fan, Caravan's CD version has both Mono and Stereo versions of thier songs, Roger Walters side projects stink, and Brian Eno is awesome. Anyone who likes trippy instrumental music check out Camel - The Snow Goose. Absolutely great.

My copy of Cerberus' Chapters of Blackness came in today. It's exactly how I expected it to be, wonderful. The music video that comes with it is just plain awful though.

Just ordered today:
Sigh - Hail Horror Hail
Taake - Vinyl boxset which has: Nattestid Ser Porten Vid, Over Bjoergvin Graater Himmerik, Helnorsk Svartmetall, and a shirt; limited to 888 copies. [url=http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Shin-Ra/taake.jpg]Picture![/url]

I like his wrist guards.

My copy of Arcturus' The Sham Mirrors came in today, and for some reason I now have a second copy of DT's Octavarium. I'll have to give it to someone / sell it... O well.

I went to Half Price Books today and found some good stuff:

Rob Dougan - Furious Angels (Holy hell this is good! Reminds me older Anathema if they were from an entirely different genre)
Blackmore's Night - Fires at Midnight (I've only listened to "I Still Remember" so far, but I like it)
Various Artists - Scandinavian Metal Attack II (issued by Black Mark productions, the late Quorthon's records label. I haven't heard of any of the non-Bathory bands on this album)

Vinyl:
Judas Priest - Sin After Sin (Classic metal)
I don't know if it's the name of the band or the album, but I also got Olias of Sunhillow. I haven't listened to it yet, but it doesn't matter anyway. I bought the vinyl because it was cheap and had some of the best artwork I've ever seen on any cover/booklet.

...Sure, I don't see why not. PM or AIM me your address and I'll send as soon as I can afford the postage (in like three days or so). I'd prefer MP3 cd's what with the higher capacity and shat. :D

I think someone ordered it for me because they thought I wasn't capable of picking it up myself on its release date. Again, oh well.

Gorillaz-Demon Days
Gorillaz-G-Sides (the super rare limited edition one)

Anywho, i'm looking for a decent metal place near phoenix (arizona), the only one I know of carries only death metal, like Korn, Slipknot, etc,. Nothing good.

I'm making this order on Tuesday:

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora (Less extreme NSBM with ambient elements and a definite 'natural' feel to the music)

Vinterriket - Winterschatten (Dark Ambient with black metal elements and themes of nature. Pattern?)

Satyricon - Dark Medieval Times (Black Metal/Folk. One of my favorite cds, I'm glad I have the chance to actually own it)

Taake - Bjoergvin (Black Metal. This album's supposed to be pretty interesting from what Vampiro has told me. I actually haven't heard anything by them but I somehow wound up with the entire discography. One vinyl boxset and this cd will do it, I suppose.)

Bloodaxe - Raping the Ancient (Raw Viking Metal, so basically Black Metal about Vikings. It's supposed to have somewhat of an ambient/drone quality, which is something that I like a great deal. It fits with this sort of music extremely well, in my opinion. I've only heard a couple of mp3s from this band and they were fairly good.)

When I make an order I like to get at least one album that's different from what I've heard, or something that I haven't heard period. This time around I ended up with four cds instead of one that are like this. I'm looking forward to their arrival.

Octavarium by Dream Theater. Just as soon as it comes in two weeks from my order. :( At a local store. :( And the release date was already two weeks after the U.S. :(

Today I purchased Wider Angle by Hybrid at HMV and This is Trance 1 at Best Buy. They were $22.99 and $18.99 respectively (both prices are in Canadian dollars).

I'm going to wait for a nice, quiet time free of distractions to listen to either of them... I'll probably do so while making the long drive back across the states. I drove from Vancouver, BC to Jasper, AB through the middle of the evening, listening to splendid music the entire way, while watching heavy rain fall most of the time and navigating through unfamiliar landscapes in the black of the night... what an incredibly surreal experience. I am looking forward to experiencing both of these albums.

I'm thinking of getting James LaBrie's Elements of Persuasion, Angel Dust's Enlighten the Darkness, and maybe Nevermore's Enemies of Reality soon.

Blind Guardian - Follow The Blind
Blind Guardian - Nightfall in Middle Earth
Geddy Lee - My Favourite Headache
Rush - Roll The Bones
Rush - Rush in Rio (DVD)

This is my one big order for the summer:

Taake - Doedskvad
Beherit - Drawing Down The Moon
In Flames - Lunar Strain (reissue + bonus) (for Scooter)
Hagalaz' Runedance - Frigga's web
Hagalaz' Runedance- Volven / Urd - That Which Was
Ulver - Blood Inside

And if all else goes well, tomorrow I'm getting:

Drudkh - Lebedynyy Shlyakh (The Swan Road)
Drudkh - Forgotten Legends
Bathory - Under the Sign of the Black Mark (red vinyl)
Gorgoroth - Pentagram
Gorgoroth - Antichrist
Gorgoroth - Under the Sign of Hell
Satyricon - The Shadowthrone
V/A - Flowers Made Of Snow (2CD dark ambient compilation)
Destroyer 666 - Phoenix Rising

Eternity by Freedom Call
Velvet Darkness They Fear by Theatre of Tragedy
Invisible Circles by After Forever
Almost Pure Instrument by After Crying
Sung Tongs by Animal Collective
Angels Cry by Angra
Heathenreel by Elvenking
Grime vs. Grandeur by Falconer

Those are some of the newer albums I've gotten that I can think of at this moment. I don't have much to say about any of them, really. I don't find any of them exceptionally gratifying or worth recommending, although each album seems to have a few special songs. Animal Collective is fun.

My last haul:

Bathory:

Blood Fire Death
Blood on Ice
Destroyer of Worlds
Hammerheart
Norland I
Norland II
Octagon
The Return
Twilight of the ***s
Under the Sign of the Black Mark
Requiem
Jubileum Vol. I, II, and II

Burzum:

Blast from the Ancient Past
Burzum and Gorgoroth

^ Good man!

I just bought:
Nevermore - This Goddless Endeavour
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

I haven't listened to the Nevermore release yet, but I have listened to the Porcupine Tree cd. Deadwing is far more accessible and harder, more straight forward rock than anything else they've put out. Still, it's a wonderful release and a definite recommendation for all fans of rock music.

I've also been downloading a lot lately, and plan on continuing this. So my posts in this thread happen very seldomly from now on, unless I find a deal on a bunch of vinyls.

Be by Pain of Salvation
The Secrets of an Island by Six Magics
Wyrd by Elvenking
Atlantis Ascendant by Bal-Sagoth
The Memory of Trees by Enya
Shadow of the Moon by Blackmore's Night

Are there any fans of Pain of Salvation? If so, what other album of theirs might be worth getting? Is this their best one? It is the only one I've heard and I like plenty of it. I expect they may have some great older material that I should look into, but I'm not exactly sure where the best place (album) is to look.

From what I've heard of Wyrd, it seems much better and culturally inspired than Elvenking's previous release Heathenreel. I'm looking forward to going through some of these albums later on today when I take my 6+ hour drive.

I just yesterday bought The Mind's I [Deluxe Edition] by Dark Tranquillity. I expected it to be more folkish and similar to The Gallery, but this was not so.

Still pretty good. Insanity's Crescendo is a brilliant song.

Ayreon - The Final Experiment

Bought it almost a week ago and it just shipped today, apparently.

edit: Just got the following as well:

Divercia - Modus Operandi
Nightwish - Once

edit 2:

and this:

Symphony X - The Odyssey

[quote=Chaod]Richaod agrees: V: The New Mythology Suite > The Odyssey. Oh, and just where do you get your infinite sources of money? :(

I'm going to get V. next most likely.

Where do I get my money? Web design, though I don't see any more money coming in for a few weeks from it, so I'll be lucky if I can afford another in that time. I've got $4 left in my Paypal account :(

I purchased Enya ~ 'Only Time' a few days ago for a VERY reasonable price. I really enjoy listening to her, and the overall music is calming, even beautiful.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers - Greatest Hits

And three out of four of my last haul arrived. All that's left is Symphony X - The Odyssey, which should arrive this week.

edit: The Odyssey arrived. Great album so far.

Just bought The Divine Wings of Tragedy, by Symphony X. Should've bought Exposures: In Retrospect And Denial by Dark Tranquillity, but meh.

It's a pretty decent CD so far, a bit more minimalistic than V: The New Mythology Suite or The Odyssey. The 20-minute title track really has nothing on The Odyssey though.

John Petrucci - Suspended Animation
John Petrucci's Wild Stringdom guitar book
Wing Stop BBQ wings and fries :)

Mike Portnoys liquid drum theater drum dvd. No more listening to cds and trying to figure it out by ear :D Now i've got the man himself to show me how to do his playing step by step.

Bought three in HMV yesterday, all of which have broken jewel cases, because HMV are satan.

Demons & Wizards - Touched By The Crimson King
Porcupine Tree - Deadwing
Rush - Vapor Trails

D&W was good but maybe slightly samey all through, Porcupine Tree was an impulse buy (because I've heard a lot of good things about the band) and didn't disappoint, and Rush was extremely different to their old stuff (sounded more like Geddy Lee's solo album), but nonetheless enjoyable.

****ing repost.

Ancient - Eerily Howling Winds - The Antediluvian Tapes
Kataxu - Hunger of Elements
Nokturnal Mortum - Goat Horns
Nokturnal Mortum - To The Gates Of Blasphemous Fire
Opeth - Ghost Reveries (vinyl, coming out in mid-September)

Eh, The End Records was having a sale. $53 isn't too bad for all this.

today i bought:

Devin Townsend - Terria

tomorrow i buy:

Arcturus - Aspera Hiems Symfonia / Constellation / My Angel

Just bought Images And Words by Dream Theater, because it only cost $10. Sanity actually sold a decent CD at a decent price, and put it at the front of the store!

Cowboys From Hell by Pantera was $15, but I only like the title track and Cemetery Gates from that album, so I really couldn't be bothered.

Today I bought:

Pain of Salvation - Be

yaaaaaaaaa

Ulver - Perdition City

...soooo good.

Helloween - Mrs. g0d (Single)
Leaves' Eyes - Vinland Saga
Queensryche - Greatest Hits

The Mikey Show - We Are The Show (this is a San Diego only CD released by the local rock station's hilarious morning show - lots of inside jokes that nobody else here would get with the exception of Corrupt)

Emperor - Anthems to the Welkin at Dusk (awesome black metal CD, highly recommended)

Got them both yesterday. I'm going to look for Finntrolls' "Midhattens Widunder" next.

"UltraTrance '05 (mixed by The Riddler)"
Sasha - "Global Underground Ibiza"
"This Is Rave 6.0 (From Dusk 'Til Dawn)" - 3 CDs for $16.99, fantastic deal

I picked all of these up recently, the first one being Sasha's compilation. I really enjoyed that, and I like what I'm hearing of "UltraTrance '05" so far. I haven't gotten the chance to listen to "This Is Rave" yet, as I just got it. I'm sure it'll turn out to be a worthwhile purchase, though.

If burns count, I got "Classical Mushroom" by Infected Mushroom a week ago from Ruptybby.

They don't.

I bought Devin Townsend - Accelerated Evolution SE yesterday. I have to re-rip it because the last two songs screwed up.

Opeth - Ghost Reveries on vinyl. You can really notice the difference with this album's wonderfully crisp sound. If you buy it, get it on vinyl.

*bump*

Just got a copy of Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tears album (signed by Bob Daisley) for $15, which is half the price you'd expect in Australia for that album at a regular CD store, unsigned. Awesome.

I'm listening to Mr. Tinkertrain now. :)

^ Good song.

Records:
Burzum - Hvis Lyset Tar Oss
Burzum - Filosofem
The Doors - LA Woman
Merle Haggard - The Roots of My Raisin'
Johnny Cash - some best of thing that had the wrong record inside

CD
Gjallarhorn - Nordheim
I Misery Demo
Exhumed - Gore Metal
Exhumed - Garbage Days Re Regurgitated

DVD
Enslaved - Yggdrasill

No new CDs in a long time, but I got an Ernie Ball/Musicman John Petrucci signature model guitar :)

you and james won't ever pass up a single opportunity to do that, will you? :(

Just got Children Of Bodom Hatecrew Deathroll :).
Yay.

DVD's I've bought so far with Christmas money:

[LIST]

Symphony X ~ The Odyssey

Finally bought after passing it up for about 2 months. Awesome.

I've just ordered in the 2 CD version of Mabool by Orphaned Land from what is, quote, "your average teenie-bopper music store". Good times.

well i finally got the album guero by beck yesterday, sorry if it doesn't jive with you metalfags :)

Ugh, do you really think we care, chec?

Anyway, I bought a new Stagg acoustic guitar yesterday and I have two guitar effect pedals in the mail which should arrive tomorrow: Boss MT-2 Distortion and Boss DD-3 Delay, I think.

Was surprised to see Mostly Autumn - Storms Over Still Water in HMV, so I got it. Gonna be my first Mostly Autumn experience, but I know Heather Findlay is a wonderful vocalist, and I believe their keyboardist won an award.

Today there was a record fair in town and I bought Skyclad - A Semblance of Normality for £6. Tasty!

Doesn't count as a haul, but I went to see Nile, Decapitated, and Hypocrisy last night for only $10. Out of all the bands, Hypocrisy was by far the best, which completely surprised me. Nile (especially) and Decapitated were excellent too. The guy from Decapitated was especially happy and (literally) bouncy.

Anyway, I got a "Best of Collective Soul" album, called something like The Seven Year Itch.

I got the Queen Greatest Hits I, II and III last week. Only twenty bucks. Couldn't pass it up.

Got any new cd's lately? I did. Including papa roach's new album "getting away with murder" & meteora by linkin park

Meteora's a really deep CD. I recommend listening to track 23, "I'm Grounded", first. It's over a minute long, though, so don't get bored.

Oh, I got the Rush - R30 DVD/CD pack awhile back. Good stuff.

360 with harddrive and Perfect Dark Zero.

I bought Buckethead's "Cuckoo Clocks Of Hell." It's weird as ****, and I figured out where Meshuggah got their idea from.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
The Go! Team - Thunder, Lightning, Strike!

My latest. I resisted the urge to spend more. Both great albums.

Soon I will be receiving:

Vintersorg - Visions From The Spiral Generator
Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye

I've got most of Cosmic Genesis, so I'm expecting to like the Vintersorg, but I've not listened to Kayo Dot yet - It's nice to be surprised.

Ordered Mostly Autumn - Passengers.

I think MA have grown on me in a slightly unhealthy way. I've had the SOSW CD for a week, maybe less, and I'm already seeing them live in April and have went to their message board to ask for recommendations of what to buy next - though I do intend to eventually get the entire discography. :/

Big Sugar - Brothers and Sisters are ya ready?

Today I wasted my money which I work so hard for.

Nile - Annihilation of the Wicked
Bruce Dickinson - Accident of Birth
Dead Kennedys - Frankenchrist

I regret wasting my money on Nile, unlike Bruce and Deadkeys.

Collective soul - 7even year itch A very good purchase I think.

Megadeth - The System Has Failed

Porcupine Tree - Deadwing

and

The Electric Joe Satriani - An Anthology

I fixed my iPod toda and celebrated by buying Opeth ~ Blackwater Park on iTunes.

Yellowcard ~ Lights and Sounds
Opeth ~ Ghost Reveries
Porcupine Tree ~ In Absentia

I'm spending a lot of money on the wooden Pale Folklore boxset tomorrow. There were only 60 of them made and the stuff that comes with it is just amazing, so this will surely be the most valuable thing I'll have in my growing record collection. It's amazing how much money you save when you completely quit smoking.

[IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Shin-Ra/251174739_l.jpg[/IMG]

****it, maybe that's not so affordable :(. Too bad, I'd LOVE to own that.

Here's the specs:

Wooden box edition limited to only 60 hand-numbered (by Agalloch mastermind
John Haughm) copies. The details for the special vinyl edition are as follows:

- Wooden jackets are made of fresh fine pine wood
- 30 Wooden jackets are personally stained with Olde Maple Gloss
- 30 personally stained with traditional Classic Oak Gloss
- The “Pale Folklore” insignia laser-etched in lavish Fette Fraktur font on the
front of the wooden case
- Double LP presented in a limited white vinyl with a wintery-blue splatter (as
opposed to the regular blue vinyl released early November)
- Six original and authentically developed photo prints chosen by John Haughm
himself. Each photo represents a song on the album, is personally labelled, and
is paired up in two’s and presented in different print sizes (5 x 7, 4 x 6, and
4 x 12 panoramic format)

I am sooo amazingly jealous, you bastard. :( Be sure to post pics when it arrives.

In the meantime, I have my sights set on [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Agalloch-From-which-of-this-Oak-DEMO-ulver-opeth-RARE_W0QQitemZ4844303117QQcategoryZ1600QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]this[/url].

Carvin V3 100Watt amp :)
I like it. I like it alot.

Falconer ~ Grime vs. Grandeur

I love it, 'twas good use of my store credit.

Last two CD's i bought were Shinedown and Seethers new cds. Saw them both in concert in 2003 i think, and i talked to the lead singer of Shinedown for quite some time...he was actually a really cool guy. As for now, who knows how fame and fortune changed him.

Oh, I also ordered:
Ildjarn - Forest Poetry
Deathspell Omega - Kenose

Oh yeah, here's the photos the guy sent me:

It all checks out, so I went on ahead and ordered it. I'll take better pictures when it all comes in.

ohhhhh

I came. :( Can I buy your other Pale Folklore LP? :D

Linkin Park - Meteora
Linkin Park - Hybrid Theory

Both albums burned onto one cd. (thanks to mininova.org for the free music)

ISP Decimator ProRackG Noise Reduction box-of-love :) (shipped today, pics for when it gets here)

Just got:

Behemoth~ Demigod
Some Vadar CD, the one with the fist on it!
Nightwish~Century Child
Nightwish~Over the Hills and Far Away
Nightwish~Wishmaster
Blind Guardian~Night at the Opera
Blind Guardian~ Nightfall in Middle-Earth
Symphony X~ The Oddesey

Thank you Sam Goody for going out of business and having a giant sale!

Ibanez JEM7VWH. No ****.

Since some douche bag keeps deleting my posts, I'll list it again, from a few days ago.

Nightwish - Once

No deletion; the boards were reset to a three-day-old backup...

Oh. No wonder my avatar's gone...

On Saturday... Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways, which I'm really, really loving, and An Evening With John Petrucci And Jordan Rudess, which I've barely listened to.

Phantom: Had you listened to anything off that album before or was it just an impulse? If you hadn't how are you finding it?

Devin Townsend ~ Synchestra
Evergrey ~ A Night to Remember
Shaddow Gallery ~ Room V

Surprised to find all of these at Best Buy.

Mostly Autumn - The Spirit of Autumn Past. At the concert on [edit: Friday. My bad]. Other musical buys include a Mostly Autumn "On Tour" t-shirt, and a sweatshirt with the MA logo on.

I know I said I'd never buy another In Flames album, but I got Come Clarity anyway. It didn't strike me as good or bad, so I guess it just didn't strike me. Same goes for Devin Townsend's latest effort. I'm not liking 2006 thus far.

2006 has been one of the best years in awhile for me :)

Oh, and I thought Synchestra was a fantastic album.

Eh, Synchestra's alright. I was expecting a lot better, though. :(

Just bought In Keeping Secrets Of Silent Earth: 3 by Coheed And Cambria. It was only $10, and I'm enjoying it quite a lot. I was surprised at how short A Favor House Atlantic was though.

Bought it a while ago, but Mostly Autumn - Music Inspired By Lord Of The Rings finally arrived today. Five down, one to go.

Ordered from The End Records:
In the Woods - Heart of Ages
In the Woods - A Return To The Isle Of Men
In the Woods - Strange In Stereo
In the Woods - Live At The Caledonien Hall (3CD)

And from the local FYE:
The Sword - Age of Winters
Amorphis - Eclipse

Hollenthon- Domus Mundi
Hollenthon- With Vilest of Worms to Dwell
Killing Joke- Hosannas from the Basements of Hell
Led Zeppelin- Remasters 1 (just for the comedy value of watching my mother headbang/air-guitar)

Venom- Metal Black (NEEDS MORE MANTAS)


My local music store sucks, so I couldn't find Behemoth's "Demi***", which will be my next purchase.

I hate Mars Volta passionately, sry. :( Listen to "Delirium Trigger", "Neverender" and "Godsend Conspirator" off Second Stage, though.

Torture Killer= secks. I especially love the song 'Cannibal Gluttony'.

I ordered some Kadenzza about a week ago. Probably won't arrive until some time next week. But I'm definitely looking forward to finally owning something by them.

Porcupine Tree - On The Sunday Of Life
Porcupine Tree - Up The Downstair

Up The Downstair is in **** condition, and I'm thinking of trying to get it replaced. The corner (and it's a digipack) is totally crumpled, which is really irritating. Either way, surprised to find them at all. Now I only need Stupid Dream and I'll have all the albums.

Queensryche - Operation: Mindcrime II. Still haven't given it a complete proper listen, though.

Opeth ~ Orchid

Still can't get used to the different vocal style, but the guitars sound f*cking awesome.

I guess you can call this somewhat of a haul:

I'm going to see Collective Soul tonight; Sothis and a bunch of Houston bands next Sunday; Behemoth, Krisiun, and Morbid Angel the day after; and Ministry and the Revolting Cocks the Saturday after that. I also have finals in between the Morbid Angel and Ministry shows, so that's going to be interesting.

Behemoth, hah. Jar's gonna be jealous. **** you for seeing Ministry though. :(

Thinking of picking up Kayo Dot's Dowsing Anenome With Copper Tongue.

I needed to invest my money in some form of music because that Behemoth, Krisiun, Morbid Angel show is sold out. So I ordered these:

Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells
Deathspell Omega/Clandestine Blaze Split
Sapthuran - To The Edge Of Land
Pantheist - Amartia
Thergothon - Stream From the Heavens

Since I don't have an internet connection on my computer, and therefore can't download cds before I buy them, I haven't heard any of these albums before. So hopefully they're good. I also don't know a thing about Funeral Doom, so I thought I'd check out Pantheist and Thergothon (assuming the description I saw was accurate). Regardless, I heard the song "Pride" by Pantheist and thought it to be pretty badass, so I'm pretty optimistic about them.

Oh yeah, Collective Soul was great. Ticket prices were a bit steep ($30, hey I'm a cheap bastard), but their stage performance was entertaining. I have to say though, that is one hell of a "sassy" singer.

Quite possibly the best yet.


Oh, and I order John Zorn's Naked City a few days ago.

Pantheist - O Solitude
Until Death Overtakes Me - Symphony III: Monolith
Skepticism - Stormcrowfleet
Tool - 10,000 Days
Filter - Title of Record
Oppressor - Agony

Cowon IAudio x5 20GB mp3+vid player

I went and saw Ministry and the Revolting Cocks last night. I must say, if they're playing anywhere near you, GO SEE THEM. For the first half of the show Ministry played a lot of material from the new album, but they went back to the older stuff towards the end. I had to leave about three quarters of the way through Ministry's set because I was getting cotton mouth from the second hand smoke, and I could no longer hear from my right ear (which I still can't) because of the retarded sound crew. Great show though, Revolting Cocks also put on an excellent performance.

Bought Opeth ~ ****ation, yesterday. I like Windowpane.

Katatonia - The Great Cold Distance (much better than Viva Emptiness)
Nocternity - Onyx vinyl ($7.00 on eBay)
Ministry - Rio Grande Blood (listen to the first song, it's GREAT!)
Behemoth - Slaves Shall Serve ep

And I'm probably going to see Vader on June 14th as a belated birthday present to myself. I'm also going to see Bowling For Soup play because I work at the venue they're performing at... joy. I'm going to request the Jimmy Neutron theme song.

More musics!

The local music store had a copy of Ihsahn's The Adversary, so I bought it immediately.

Porcupine Tree - Up The Downstair
Porcupine Tree - The Sky Moves Sideways
Porcupine Tree - Stupid Dream

Went on a little PT spree a couple weeks ago and they've all arrived now. I absolutely love Stupid Dream.

Alright, here's another decent sized order.

Xasthur - The Funeral of Being
Shining - IV - The Eerie Cold
Leviathan - Tenth Sublevel of Suicide poster
Sculptured - The Spear Of The Lily Is Aureoled
Amon Amarth - Wrath Of The Norsemen (3DVD)
Empyrium - A Wintersunset...
Empyrium - Where At Night The Wood Grouse Plays

Just bought a ticket to go see Necrophagist, Arsis, Alarum, and Ion Dissonance in concert. I really only bought it for Necrophagist, but does anyone know if the other three are any good?

Ion Dissonance is so ****ing amazing live. I mean, their albums are good, but they put on one hell of a brutal show. They play technical metal/hardcore so you know it'll be fun. Oh, and Arsis is also really good. Haven't seem them live, but if their studio recordings have anything to say, you should really enjoy them.

But yeah, that's one great line-up. Should be fun as hell.

Picked up In Flames - Clayman for £10 today.

Bought the Wintersun album and Green Carnation ~ A Blessing in Disguise.

Katatonia - Dance of December Souls
Zyklon - Disintegrate
Emperor - Emperial Live Ceremony dvd (birthday present)
Mutiilation shirt

Just bought In Flames - Lunar Strain.

Also just bought two Rush vinyls - Power Windows and A Farewell To Kings.

I bought the In Memory of Quorthon boxset the other day. Now I just have to wait for delivery. Waiting for music to be delivered is worse than spending the money for the item, I swear.

Mmm, I'm thinking of ordering that too. Is it just a generic "best of", or does it have remastered/unreleased material?

Opeth - Ghost Reveries
Muse - Absolution

It's been about a month now since I've bought any new music (I live an hour away from the closest record store :( ), but the last two CDs I got were:

The Doors - The Best of the Doors
Radiohead - My Iron Lung EP

Looking to buy a LOT of stuff this summer.

Bought 2 Muse tickets for July 22nd.

Define the Great Line-underOATH. FINALLY!! They are going away from ther Emo ways!!! Going back hardcore!!! I must say though Track 8 is sort of Emo.But the rest rocks.

Dream Theater - Once in a livetime
They didnt have black water park to get as well :(

Redemption ~ The Fullness of Time arrived today. Awesome stuff.

I bought:
Tickets to Warped Tour (the only good thing about that was punching the hordes of people who wouldn't get out of my way when I was trying to leave the front area during AFI)
AND
Skinless - Trample the Weak, Hurdle the Dead - Great death metal album! Before this, all I'd ever heard was their old stuff, which was extremely bland and just... well... BAD. This, on the other hand, is wonderful. I have to love any cd that starts off with a Planet of the Apes soundclip and has a Hot Shots 2 soundclip on the next song (War, it's fantastic).

I really was going to get some rap today, but instead
Muse - Absolution
Opeth - Blackwater Park
Ayreon - The Human Equation
And somehow, I dont feel bad about not getting rap today :cool:

^ All excellent purchases, some of my favorites.

Opeth - Lamentations DVD
Gigantour DVD (Preordered)

In the last few weeks or so:

Muse - Supermassive Black Hole
Deep Purple - Concerto For Group And Orchestra
Steve Vai - Real Illusions: Reflections
The Butterfly Effect - A Slow Descent

All pretty decent. Singles really should sell for less though.

Took you that long to get Real Illusions: Reflections?

I went to Sounds of the Underground yesterday and saw GWAR, Behemoth, Cannibal Corpse, and In Flames (in order of badassery). It was a great show, but it sucks that all their sets were cut so short.

The sets were as follows:

Behemoth - "Antichristian Phenomenon", "As Above, So Below", "Conquer All", "Before the ∆ons Came" (I think), and "Chant For Eschaton 2000" (great song live). I dunno if this is 100% right because Nergal's microphone was turned down a lot, I was really into the show, and Nergal has suuuuch a heavy accent. Still, the first and last songs dominated.

Cannibal Corpse - "Unleashing the Bloodthirsty", "****ed With a Knife", "Devoured by Vermin", "Hammer Smashed Face", "Stripped Raped and Strangled"

In Flames - "Pinball Map", "Trigger", "Cloud Connected", "Take This Life", "Graveland", "Quiet Place", "Leeches", and one more song that I can't remember

Gwar - No idea, but:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Shin-Ra/000_0194.jpg
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v93/Shin-Ra/000_0199.jpg

I also bought a Behemoth tour shirt and patch at the show.

I ordered/bought this stuff seperately:
Burzum - Burzum/Aske Double Gatefold LP (lim. 2000)
Sunn O))) - Flight of the Behemoth
Place of Skulls - The Black is Never Far
Anathema - A Moment in Time (dvd)
My Dying Bride - Songs of Darkness Words of Light on vinyl (lim. 1000)

Hahaha, GWAR puts on the best show known to concert-going man. It must have been a blast.

Yeah, they reeeally should've been headlining that show. I will never, under any circumstances miss a Gwar show from this point forward.

Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain - Deluxe wood box edition, limited to 500 copies. Contains 3 postcards, special packaging, a cd, and a shirt. All for $32.00.

Esoteric - Subconscious Dissolution Into

Darkthrone - Panzerfaust

Edit: Saturday after, I bought The Gathering - Home at Best Buy.

Muse - Black Holes & Revalations

And a Muse shirt when I went to their concert last weekend.

Syphony X - The Divine Wings of Tragedy
Eric Clapton - 20th Century Masters
In Flames - Come Clarity
A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
Ayreon - Universal Migrator

2 Gigantour pit tickets and 2 dozen Jazz III Stubby guitar picks.

2 red hot chili peppers jackets and 1 shirt. Yaw, saw them in oakland :cool:

Concert tickets count, right? Because I got Iron Maiden tickets for October sixteenth. IT SHALL BE GRAND. Even though I was playing to go to the NY show, because it would be cool to meet up with Pit, but I couldn't get anyone to drive that far out with me.

Guess I should mention that I bought Megadeth - Youthanasia last week, as well as Megadeth - Countdown to Extinction the week before.

Veil - Dolor
Tenebrae In Perpetuum - Onori Funebri Rituali
Marblebog - Forestheart
Elysian Blaze - Levitating the Carnal
Urfaust/ Circle of Ouroborus Split
Vargsang - Throne of the Forgotten
Sons of North - Eagle Gaze

Last week - Deicide - Stench of Redemption

Sublime - Sublime (?)
Insomnium - Since The Day It All Came Down

Elysian Blaze - Levitating the Carnal

Amazing album.

Bought Nevermore - This ***less Endeavor off of iTunes. Good album.

Nortt - Ligfaerd (picture vinyl) Limited to 500 copies

Such a fantastic album, I'm glad I finally have a chance to own a copy.

For $20 altogether:
The Mars Volta - Frances The Mute
John Williams - Star Wars: Episode III Revenge Of The Sith OST (with bonus DVD)

Probably should've bought De-loused in the Comatorium instead of FTM. Oh well. Still good stuff.

Should be buying G3 tickets tonight. :D

Just pre-ordered OSI's re:Free EP.

Todestrieb Records:
Nyktalgia - Nyktalgia
Gheestenland - Volkerenmoord (Comes with a goat bone and blood smeared all over the tape - Limited to 99 copies)
Exorial - Reflektionen Auf Leben Und Tod (Limited to 500 copies, or something like that. The description's confusing)
Hekatomb - [I]Ingl

Agalloch's new vinyl release comes with bone fragments and a bag of ashes. :D I'm considering ordering it.

Cradle Of Filth - From The Cradle To Enslave*
Ima Robot
The Streets - Original Pirate Material
*=First purchase from the black metal section.
Oh yeah, and Ima Robot is like one of my new favorites :cool:

I'm on a download binge, so I'll just post tonights directory as a jpeg:

[URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/9627/bingejr1.jpg[/IMG][/URL]


Not pictured:

Anaal Nathrakh - Eschaton
Eternity - Bringer of the Fall
Antaeus - Blood Libels
Entombed Part II
Zyklon - Disintegrate

Falconer ~ Northwind

Not sure what to think about Matthias Blad's return, the other guy was pretty d*mn good. Still a sweet CD.

Bought two drum pedals. Axis-X Longboards. Can't wait till they come in the mail.

Tickets for Celtic Frost last week
A Celtic Frost shirt at the show
Darkspace - I
Darkspace - II

I can't wait for the Paysage D'Hiver 5 disc digipack to come out. I really respect the hell out of that guy's work.

Yeah man, all the previously cassette only demos are being rereleased. :cool:

Tickets to Trans-Siberian Orchestra

and a Tenacious D wristband.

I saw Suicide Girls yesterday and it was AMAZING. My friend has been obsessed with Reagan Suicide for like 3 years now and she was paying him a lot of attention during the show. At the end of the show Nixon got on the mic, pointed at my friend and said that Reagan will trade him her panties for his Burzum shirt. They did and it was awesome. Pathetic, I know, but I'm happy for my friend. I got a lot of attention from some asian chick with a mohawk (it sounds so much better in real life than on here) so that was cool I guess especially since she was the hottest one there, second being Nixon. It sucks I got beer poured all over me and smelled like *** for the rest of the night, but it was nice because I was totally in the front row.

Oh and I saw some hawt bewbs and got some new music:

Horna - Envaatnags Eflos Solf Esgantaavne
Sunn O))) - Black One
Katharsis - VVorldVVithoutEnd

Arch Enemy - Wages of Sin
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain
Helloween - Keeper of the Seven Keys Part I
Dream Theater - Score 3CD
Megadeth - Rust In Peace
Kamelot - One Cold Winter's Night 2DVD

Just got White Pony by Deftones, for only a meager $10. Whoo.

Just bought the new Celtic Frost album, Monotheist. So far it kicks an unbelievable amount of ***.

Also saw Xasthur - Subliminal Genocide in HMV. I may ask them to hold it for me till I can buy it, because it differs from the version I got from Vamp.


Edit:

+ The Legion - Revocation
+ Vader - Impressions in Blood
+ Bestial Mockery vs. Unholy Massacre - Night of the Bestial Massacre

Recently I (re) bought Borknagar's Empiricism (I previously lost it). Needless to say, it kicks *** (although paying for it twice sucked).

I also got the Arcturus CD set, Aspera Hymns Symfonia/Constellation/My Angel. I already had all the music on it, and just got it because it was selling for $ .99.

In addition I bought Amon Amarth's "With Oden on Our Side," and haven't listened to it yet.

My friend also burned me Ihsahn's "The Adversary" and Arcturus' "Sham Mirrors." He was also going to burn me a sort of 'best of' of Windir, but accidentally put on the wrong songs. Anyways, both The Adversary and Sham Mirrors are quite good.

Hybrid - I Choose Noise
Goth Industrial Club Anthems (3-CD set)

Vortex was pretty good in Borknagar :(

Oh, and "With Oden..." is actually pretty **** good. Exactly what you'd expect and want from AA.

I just started listening to "With Oden on Our Side", and you're right, it is a good album. Or at least, the first three tracks are top notch.

On a side note, I heard something about a new Borknagar CD, but it being an acoustic album or something. Is it worth the money or no?

My With Oden copy is messed up, which is unfortunate because I really liked what played correctly. If someone can rip it proper in 320kbps and upload it in the upload thread, I'd <3 them forever :)

Yeah, it's a **** good release. I'm usually not that into Amon Amarth because the releases sound so damn similar, but this release doesn't really follow that like I thought it would. "Valhall Awaits Me", "Asator" and "Prediction of Warfare" pretty much did it for me.

Sorry, I'm a computer idiot, Hyper, but I would if I could. I think you can find some audio/video clips at their website, however.

Good thing I didn't start uploading it.

Fort Minor - The Rising Tied
Dj Tiesto - parade of the athletes
Agalloch - Ashes Against The Grain

The other day I bought the following CDs:

Borknagar - Origin - Very good, actually.
Finntroll - Nattfodd - Fun to listen to. Quite catchy.
Immortal - Pure Holocaust - Doesn't sound like their more recent ones, but still good.
Satyricon - Nemesis Divina - I had always rather ignored this band; pretty good.
King Krimson - Red - I actually quite enjoy this.

(Panic: no offense, but I don't think I like a single one of those CDs you listed. the reason I say this is that it just struck me how different my musical tastes are, assuming that many of those are somewhat mainstream. Ah well. *goes and listens to "La Masquerade Infernale".*)

Edit: I'm checking out Vinterriket right now (never heard of it). Any other good bands that I probably haven't heard of (remember I'm relatively new to metal)?

I listen to stuff that isn't mainstream, but I only really buy mainstream CDs. On those 19 mixes I have (now 20, I made another today) I have some not so mainstream stuff. Dream Theater, Mercenary, Combichrist, etc. The only place I can really buy CDs that aren't mainstream around here is online, and I don't have a credit card to do so.

Dj Tiesto - In Search of Sunrise 5
Eyedea & Abilities - E&A
Good stuff :cool:

Most recent CD - Emperor - Prometheus; The Discipline of Fire and Demise

Had to get it, just to complete my Emperor collection.

Two new ones, thanks to Corrupt...

Tickets to "Black Xmas" which I'm really only going for Woods of Ypres

Tickets to the Children of Bodom/Amon Amarth/Sanctity/Gojira concert on Wednesday.

Last night:

Trance European Edition: The Vocal Session, obtained at Borders. 2 CD-set featuring the likes of Kyau vs. Albert, Fragma, Paffendorf, Nalin & Kane, Fox Force Five, etc. Can't wait to listen to it.

Metropolis 2006 (Hot Topic). I have the collections from the past three years, and it's only $5.99 for a CD full of good EBM, so I decided to grab it.

Ghoul - We Came for the Dead
Lord Gore - The Autophagous Orgy
Agalloch - Ashes Against the Grain vinyl

And some other random, unmemorable crap like last year's largely forgettable Bolt Thrower release and the new Therion album which I'd gladly sell for five bucks. You know, for the amount of money I've spent on cds, I could have probably gotten my computer fixed and gotten the music for free.

I've gotten a lot lately I don't feel like remembering so I'll just say I got G3 tickets and be done with it.

srsly

Red Hot Chili Peppers ~ Californication
I'm diggin' it.

Watain - Sworn to the Dark (limited to 500 copies - vinyl)
Wyrd - Huldrafolk (with new artwork and pictures - vinyl)
Shat - Cuntree
Cannibal Corpse - The Bleeding *
Explosions in the Sky - All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone *
Internal Bleeding - Driven to Conquer *

* - With my discount at work I got these for a mere 21 dollars total. Great success!

I'm also going to buy the new Paul Wall when the new UGK album comes out and get that as well. Hey, it's music from this area. Gotta represent PA yo.

Lucky. Every band from my area is screamo. Look up "This Emergency" on MySpace. Yeah, they're not even the WORST.

Look up the lyrics to any Port Arthur or Houston area rapper and their description of this area, then think who's lucky. Plus, other than those rappers, we have a lot of popular country singers. On the more local club level we have nothing but hardcore, metalcore, pop-punk, and screamo stuff with the occassional post-rock or real punk band. This is a terrible, terrible place to live in if you're into metal. But hey, at least I've gotten an appreciation for all those other genres excluding the core stuff, it's nothing but a bastardized version of what hardcore used to be and is nowadays closer to rap influenced nu-metal than anything else.

On the bright side, at least Alexisonfire isn't from here.

Pretty much every suburban place is horrible to live in if you're in to metal.

Which is weird because it's mostly suburban kids who enjoy metal haha.

No, they cling to all music played on 89x.

Are you kidding me? The stereotype of a metalhead is a lazy loser with long hair, living with his parents and hating the world within the confines of his nice little suburban home. Seriously, look it up.

New Blackfield just arrived in the mail. **** yes.

[quote]Are you kidding me? The stereotype of a metalhead is a lazy loser with long hair, living with his parents and hating the world within the confines of his nice little suburban home. Seriously, look it up.

I must be living in a paradox, then.

It's awesome because I fit the stereotype.


Oh, and my last "haul" was tickets to G3 which was last night. Fun times.

Deathspell Omega - Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice (it's about damn time)
Svartidaudi - The Temple of Deformation demo

Just now from eBay:
Paysage d'Hiver - Die Festung
Paysage d'Hiver - Schattengang
Amesoeurs - Ruines Humaines

Bought the new Dark Tranquillity last night, along with a few other CD's. Definitely a good album.

The Red Army Choir - The Best of the Red Army Choir: The Definitive Collection

I had a few songs for quite awhile that I never really bothered with, then I saw this collection in a store and decided to pick it up. Kinda forgot how ****ing amazing it is.

Yesterday I preordered Systematic Chaos by Dream Theater and Ghost Opera by Kamelot.

Nope. So yeah, upload it please, I'd appreciate it.

And apparently Vrolok is coming out with another album this year. Good news.

Yeah, I just read about it. Supposedly, it was recorded in 2005. And i'll try to get Soul Amputation up tonight, if not sooner.

Thanks, but which place did you order the Vrolok etc. from? Those prices looked awesome.

Rusty Axe Records, that eBay store I linked. Also, the Circle of Ouroborus cd is only 2 dollars if they still have it.

Also, if you're looking for cheap stuff, I highly recommend Todestrieb. Their tapes are like five dollars a piece and many of the bands are high quality.

Picked up Porcupine Tree's Fear of a Blank Planet. And dear *** it's so good.

Sigh - Imaginary Sonicscape [Japanese Import]
Syny Severa - Syny Severa
Syny Severa - Orlinyj Vzor

More stuff arriving by mail. I'm still looking for Sigh's Ghastly Funeral Theatre and Syny Severa's The Death Of White Race.

I pre-ordered Armin Van Buuren's A State of Trance 2007 about ten minutes ago. I'll also probably follow up by purchasing the new Ferry Corsten and George Acosta albums. I need my summer trance fix. :o

Aside from that, my recent album purchases were (in order) Refried Food by DJ Food, In a Space, Outta Sound by Nightmares on Wax, and Who Still Kill Sound? by Kid 606. Refried Food featured a bunch of remixes by prominent IDM producers such as AFX, Squarepusher, Autechre, and Wagon Christ, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Who Still Kill Sound? was yet another fun, eardrum-blasting noise/rave/breakcore mess, and I wasn't disappointed (though my ears had to recover afterwards). In a Space, Outta Sound, however, was mediocre at best. There were one or two standout jewels in the rough, but really, the rest was just generic house/grime and didn't catch my interest at all. Good thing it only cost seven bucks!

Gym Class Heroes - For the Kids
Gym Class Heroes - The Papercut Chronicles
Gym Class Heroes - As Cruel as School Children

Mgla - Presence
AND
Crushing the Holy Trinity 3 LP (vinyl)

I win. I've had such a hard time getting both of those, especially the vinyl set.

Voodoo-U by Lords of Acid over at the local Music Trader. For five bucks. That's twelve songs, five of which I'm already familiar with and love. :cool: Not to mention the album art is pretty ****ing badical, too.

Fergie - The Dutchess. Downloaded it for my girlfriend, but I'll enjoy it as well.

IS IT FERGIELICIOUS!?

Fergalicious does not equal good.

On Saturday I bought:

Mayhem - De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas used for $6.99

Death - Symbolic for $6.99 used

Medeski, Martin, and Wood(Jazz band) - Shack Man for $7.99 used

and U2 - Joshua Tree(shut up, I like 80's U2!) for $7.99 used, but I got it for free.At my local CD store, you get a free used CD after buying 10 new or used CD's. Oh yeah, and I almost forgot. My copy of N.I.L -self-titled is due in tommorow.

Xasthur - Subliminal Genocide

The insert is really cool. He thanks a lot of people, including Wrest of Leviathan, and it has this message:

"Fuck off and curses to those who tried getting in my way, you know who you are, it hasn't worked and you're still a loser."

Naruto Original Soundtrack
Naruto Original Soundtrack II
Naruto Original Soundtrack III
Naruto the Movie: Snow Princess' Book of Ninja Arts Soundtrack
Naruto the Movie 2: The Illusionary Ruins at the Depths of the Earth Soundtrack

Did you buy it all or just download it? Downloads aren't hauls. And that isn't a worthy haul either way!

Bought 4 CD's tonight:

N.I.L. - N.I.L. for $13.99 new
The Gathering - Nightime Birds for $4.99 used
The Gathering - if_then_else for $4.99 used
The Gathering - Souvenirs for $4.99 used

Oh yeah, and I got one of the $4.99 CD's for free

AND I ordered Twilight's self-titled album, and Esoteric - Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum

Both are due on Friday.

Mmm, esoteric. I actually haven't listened to them for awhile. I should change that.

Dead Letter Circus - Dead Letter Circus

Hour-long EP by an Australian prog-metal band, and it only costs $10 AU by mail-order. Sweet.

Dream Theater - Systematic Chaos

Just arrived, and I'm popping it into the stereo right now. It's gonna be epic.

Well... the Twilight album came tonight($14.99 new), but Esoteric's on backorder :(

Also I ordered Xasthur's Subliminal Genocide, and Summoning's Oathbound. Both are due this coming tuesday.

Syny Severa - The Death Of White Race

Symphony X ~ Paradise Lost


After all the delays on this album, I expect it to be ****ing amazing.

It's nothing fantastic.

Sigh - Scenario IV: Dread Dreams (For real this time.)
Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve
Velvet Cacoon - Dextronaut
Peste Noire - Folkfuck Folie
Peste Noire - La Sanie des si

Oh yeah, that reminds me. Never posted my last CD purchases:

Last friday, I got:

Xasthur: Subliminal Genocide( new $13.99)
Summoning - Oath Bound( new $16.99)
At The Gates/Grotesque split CD - Gardens Of Grief/In The Embrace Of Evil($4.99 used)
Dimmu Borgir - Stormblast 2006($4.99 used)
Dimmu Borgir - Spiritual Black Dimensions($6.99 used)

The Summoning case was cracked, fuck that! At least I have spare cases I could use.

You would disagree. It was okay, but it wasn't as good as the other albums I heard from them.

Yeah, not their best, but still very, very good. I'd put it at second behind The Odyssey.

He worships every last turd that Dream Theater ever shat out. Doesn't that say enough?

And for the record... I LIKE DT, I just don't worship every single thing they've done, like it's a miracle from above.

We should make another thread specifically for Dream Theater, sticky it like we did before, and watch Shade post in it like you'd watch an ape at the zoo.

edit: big haul. big for me anyway.

Agalloch - The Mantle
Angel Dust - Enlighten the Darkness
Arcturus - The Sham Mirrors
Eldritch - Portrait of the Abyss Within
Orphaned Land - Mabool

All stuff I'd have purchased by now if sold locally. $61.48. <3 free shipping from the end records

Bought Steve Vai's new CD Sound Theories a couple days ago. Good stuff.

880 South - Beware

Pre-ordered Deathspell Omega - "Fas - Ite, Maledicti, in Ignem Aeternum" and bought "Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice" and "K

Where did you buy the Peste Noire and Alcest albums? I can't find them.

My buddy owns an album store and I got them through him. Not entirely sure where you can buy them on the internet though, but I think Omni got them on eBay.

Try one of the bigger online black metal distros, they're easy to find, and pre-ordering Souvenirs. The new Peste Noire album is probably on eBay right now, but the old one is limited to 2,000 copies, so have fun tracking one down.

EDIT: Actually, there's one on eBay right now, but you gotta hope to outbid everyone else.

I Shalt Become - Wanderings

I forgot to post this earlier. On Sunday, I bought the following:

Esoteric - Subconscious Dissolution Into The Continuum($14.99 new)

Nile - Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka($6.99 used)

Gwar - War Party ($4.99 used)

Meat Beat Manifesto - Original Fire E.P ($4.99 used)

Danzig - Circle Of Snakes ($6.99 used)

The Danzig I got for free, because I was up to my free CD. Esoteric I had ordered about a month ago, but it was on back-order.

The last time I bought a CD was when All That Remains released The Fall of Ideals. It's been a while. I also picked up Behind Silence and Solitude while I was there. Cool band.

Sigh - Hangman's Hymn: Musikalische Exequien (I got the Japanese import.)

And not CDs:

80GB black iPod video
New headphones (Which are so much better than my old ones.)

Third Eye Blind - A Collection
Ministry - Rio Grande Dub

lol

In Flames - Colony
In Flames - Reroute To Remain

Amesoeurs - Ruines Humaines
Xasthur - Suicide In Dark Serenity

Hopefully tomorrow I will be able to get a copy of Le Secret.

I enjoy watching the DVD.

Already downloaded it.

Drudkh - Autumn Aurora

Fracture Point - Hatred Set Free EP

Cryostasium - Cryostasium
World's End Girlfriend - Hurtbreak Wonderland

The first one was 6 dollars with free shipping and I'm buying it directly from Strep Cunt, which is the guy who recorded it, since the only user who seems to have it on Soulseek decided to ban me as soon as it started downloading and I want to hear it. The second one is just the only time I've actually ever seen a World's End Girlfriend album for sale at a reasonable price, and I want it.

Bought 4 albums yesterday:

Sixouxsie And The Banshees - Twice Upon A Time for $7.99 used


Tangerine Dream - Ricochet for $6.99 used


Venom - Black Metal(2002 reissue with 9 bonus tracks) for $6.99 used


Mogwai - Ten Rapid for $6.99 used



Total came to just under $31 with tax.

Oh yeah, and I placed a preorder on Defective Epitaph.

most of those suck. Except they're all classics in their own right, so awesome haul.

Thanks! And I already wrote reviews for 2 of them, so 2 more left to go.

Bought on Saturday:

ISIS - Oceanic
Emerson, Lake & Palmer - Trilogy (first-print vinyl)

I just wanted to say that I managed to win the auction for a sealed copy of Alcest's Le Secret EP, but I don't want to say how much I spent on it, because it's sorta emabrassing that I'd pay so much for a CD that has 2 songs on it. It's something that I've wanted for a while, so it was totally worth it to me, though.

Ulver - Bergtatt - Et Eeventyr i 5 Capitler
Ulver - Nattens Madrigal - Aatte Hymne til Ulven i Manden

Xasthur - Defective Epitaph

Dragonforce - Inhuman Rampage + logo patch (less than $7? why not!)

Evergrey - The Inner Circle
Redemption - The Fullness of Time

a couple I've been meaning to buy for ages.

I bought a whole bunch of punk and psychobilly recently, but I can't remember what all it was, so eh.

I just got:
Anuna - Deep Dead Blue
Wolves in the Throne Room - Diadem of 12 Stars (vinyl)
Velvet Cacoon - Genevieve (vinyl)

I had ordered those before I quit my previous job at a cd store and didn't know that they came in until today.

Bullet for My Valentine - The Poison [Deluxe CD/DVD]

Bought a lot of CD's the past few months, but I finally got my copy of Leviathan - Massive Conspiracy Against All Life today for $13.99

Bought a few CDs on ebay. First ones I've bought in about 3 years or so.

Nocturnal Depression - Nostalgia: Fragments of a Broken Past
The Axis of Perdition - Deleted Scenes From the Transition Hospital
Behexen - Rituale Satanum

I would kill to own a copy of Wormphlegm's tape or LP. I want those badly.

I just got Paramore's All We Know is Falling album in the mail today.

The Offspring - Rise and Fall, Rage and Grace
Breaking Benjamin - Phobia
Blink 182 - Enema of the State - Take off your pants and jacket
Daft Punk - Alive 2007
:)

My buddy gave me his copy of Sleeping Village's Mourning Persists. I was quite pleased to get a hold of it.

Radiohead - Hail to the Thief

Just got it in the mail from Amazon.[IMG]http://i27.photobucket.com/albums/c172/nfandom/boogie.gif[/IMG]

Primordial - Spirit the Earth Aflame
Primordial - A Journey's End
Primordial - Dark Romanticism... Sorrows Bitter Harvest...

Guy was about to sell these to FYE, so I stopped him and offered him five bux each and the deal was done. Good day.

Gorillaz - Demon Days

Nazxul - Iconoclast
Slayer - Reign in Blood

The Slayer CD is an original, which makes it older than me.

Xasthur - Deceptive Epitaph
Dethklok - The Dethalbum

Iconoclast is actually fairly disappointing. It's far too modern and slick for my liking. It totally lacks the feeling of Nazxul's older music, and the vocals are typical modern religious black metal style instead of those cool occult vocals in the old stuff.

Ok, so that means I have to download their other albums then? Because I got Iconoclast and thought it was pretty mediocre. I'm also slow to warm up to most of the more symphonic, well produced black metal bands though.

The first album and EP aren't so keyboard dominated and had a definite guitar focus. I wouldn't call them symphonic. Think old Abigor and Lunar Aurora. The vocals are also ridiculously awesome.

Velvet Cacoon - Atropine

I didn't think it'd be coming out anytime soon or that it'd be a dark ambient release. VC is full of surprises I suppose.

Sun of the Blind - Skullreader

Got Slipknot's self-titled 10th anniversary edition album about a month ago and Fiona Apple's Tidal maybe 2 weeks ago.

Found Prince's [url=http://www.simonandschuster.com/specials/prince-21-nights/]21 Nights[/url] book/live album discounted for $13 AU...

Ridiculously cheap, and possibly the second-most pretentious coffee table book of all time - half of it is just him sitting in his hotel room with hot twin room service chicks, but you gotta love it.

Slayer - Show No Mercy
Slayer - Hell Awaits
Slayer - South of Heaven

Now I just need Haunting the Chapel in order to own all the good Slayer releases.

Atreyu - Congregation of the Damned
Foo Fighters - Greatest Hits

I also wanted to get the box set of the Dio Sabbath albums, The Rules of Hell, but I ultimately decided that I spent too much money today already.

I got the newest Koffin Kats cd, which I'm not too crazy about. I also grabbed the new Agalloch dvd last week and haven't watched it yet because of Modern Warfare 2. Other than that, I haven't bought anything in a few weeks, when I got Gza's Liquid Swords, Tom Wait's Rain Dogs, and NoFx's Coaster - all of which I already knew I liked.
