Got some stuff from the second hand store (they looked brand new though!)

Coroner - No More Color
Samael - Blood Ritual
Sarcófago - Rotting
Sarcófago - The Laws Of Scourge

Picked up Kreator's "Phantom Antichrist", probably their best album ever which says a lot about a band that's been around for 30 years. Also Children of Bodom's "Halo of Blood", so far the biggest surprise this year. This is how I want CoB to sound, without to much expectations.

Utstøtt - Legender Odin
The free one from band camp "the turboganator" posted in the 'recommendations for 2013' thread
Not bad on a first listen

Gallhammer - Ill innocence - LP
Gontyna Kry - Welowie - LP

Dream Death - Logo Patch (black background, red letters)

You making a patch jacket, or did that come with one of the CDs?

I was just thinking "hey, I can afford it... and will definitely use it in the future".
At some point I thought about a thrash jacket but realised that there aren't many thrash bands I truly enjoy. So I'm thinking about a mix between thrash and old school death for the future.

A thrash one? That's kind of odd for you. Unless you listen to more thrash than I realised.

That's why I though about a mix with old school death. Some of the bands I enjoy atm would be: Carnivore, Celtic Frost, Coroner, Deathhammer, Dream Death, Fear Of God (finding a patch for this one would be hard though), Sarcófago, Sepultura, Slayer and Voivod... I think that's about it though. I wouldn't use all of them of course.

Fear of God? That average thrash band with lame female vocals? You really are Marcel's clone

Fuck off, that album is a 90's gem. Some people just don't get the vocals. The music is also pretty damn original I'd say.

The Return... Of Svensk Dödsmetall

If there's some interesting stuff about Katatonia, then I'd like to know.

The same bit that was in Encyclopedia Of Svensk Dödsmetall is in there plus a five pasge interview wuth Anders Nyström on the eraly days of the band.

Btw even though the boks are called encyclopedias they both cosnist mostly of interviews with the bands about their early days. Both books are written by an Italian guy called Nicola Constantini. He was a huge tape trader during the early days of the Swedish death metal boom and well-known within the tape trading circles of those days. The books aren't like the Swedish Death Metalk one by Daniel Ekeroth, but are more st up like the fanzines of the time, so with interviews and such and lots of drawing and pictures. Both Nicola's books I wouldn't recommend to people who are only a bit familiar with the early days of Swedish death metal, for them the Ekeroth book is much more useful. Both encyclopedias are of much more interest to die hard fans of the genre.

Tesseract - Altered State

It was a toss-up between this and Alcest's Ecailles de Lune. After listening through it this time round, I feel like I picked the wrong one.

That comprehensive Nyström interview about the early days of Katatonia sounds cool. Those times are a bit shady to me. Answers to questions like how they started and when the black stuff came in, and did they play just plain death metal at some point, I yearn.

The black stuff was there from the start and at no point were they plain death metal

Btw all the interviews with all the other bands are all about the early days of the bands and Swedish death metal
