Thankfully Cds tend to be very hardy most of the time.

Although I will always prefer Vinyl (mainly because of the sound, but there are other reasons), CDs are the second best way of listening to music. And if you have iTunes, you can just put all your CDs on there and than make an iPod (I use a nano, because it's simple), and then you can easily have all your CDs on the go.

I actually still use my discman every day when I go out. I'm weird like that.

Hey, I have one of those, too!

Coolio! I got mine back in 2005 when it was still sort of relevant haha. It never died on me so I continued to use it. Many ask me if I have to carry tons of cds with me when I go out and usually I just have one on me cuz it's not like I listen to music all the time if I go out (at some point I'll talk to people haha).

I have on a handy discman bag which has with extra slots for cds for long travels though. Another reason besides "I just got used to have it on me all the time" is that I want to actually use my cds besides buying them and burning them on my computer. I struggle with vinyls for this very reason because I haven't installed my recordplayer as i lack speakers and space at the moment.

I just checked and I think mine died sadly. I thought I used it recently, though.

I got a great haul on monday. Went to Copenhagen and had some fun with the cd stores with some second hand stuff in great condition and even better prices. Shame the ones on my town are sorely lacking (probably cuz there is only one and I already cleaned it haha).

Behemoth - And The Forests Dream Eternally
Old Behemoth has such a nice charm to it! Love the band up to an including Demigod although Demigod was the beginning of the end for me.

Ephel Duath - Rephormula
Always wanted to get stuff from these guys (Pain Necessary To Know is brilliant!) but somehow I always forgot to search online and never found their stuff in real life except once when I didn't really knew the band and I kick myself for it haha.

Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Slow Riot For New Zerø Kanada [EP]
Godspeed You! Black Emperor - Yanqui U.X.O.
Love these guys and seeing that they are going to headline Roadburn made me eager to properly enjoy their discography until the day I see them live once again (caught them back in 2015).

Nile - Amongst The Catacombs Of Nephren-Ka
I honestly have never heard their debut haha, I love the three albums that come after it though so I'm expecting great shit.

Slipknot - Slipknot (10th anniversary version)
I guess I just wanted to please the child version fo myself who loved this stuff. There are plenty of songs I still enjoy to this very day.

Winterfylleth - The Fathers Of Albion: An Anthology 2007-2013 [Boxset]
A great way to get into a band that I always wanted to check out but never did. Now I got no excuse haha.

Picked up the last LP copy of Dragged Into Sunlight/Gnaw Their Tongues - NV at their show yesterday with Mayhem. Needless to say, vicious stuff.
Also learnt that even if Hatred For Mankind has been sold out for a long time, it will get repressed for the 10th anniversary. I sooo want to get that one on vinyl.

That sounds so awesome, but we must wait until 2019.

Even on discogs it doesn't go for that much

My "to buy" list tends to grow faster than I buy, so no problem in waiting a year or two for the reissue at a resonable price^^

It's directly from their bandcamp page, which makes it even funnier.

I acquired Judas Priest's Painkiller record.

Although I have heard most of the songs on the album as most people here probably have, I've never owned a physical copy of the album until now. Growing up in the computer age has had its benefits, but it has also had its pitfalls, one being that I only started collecting CD's after I turned 17.

But that's not what this is about. Back to Painkiller. I have no words. It's Judas Priest. It's metal. It twists the strangle grip and wont give no mercy. It makes you feel your tendons rip, torn up and mean. It's fucking awesome \m/

Samael - "Ceremony of Opposites" (first USA edition from the 1994)

Orewoet - "Afrodisiacum der Vroomheid" (EP 2016)

I recently aquired Karkelo by Korpiklaani. In my opinion it is a great album, though it could be better. Vodka, my favorite song off the album, is cheesy and fun to listen to.

From the very depths by Venom on double LP

From the very depths by venom has got quite mixed reviews, and I think we can all say it doesn't sound like the old venom albums that had a bluesy thrash/speed metal sound, but this release sounds as if someone like Alexi Laiho or Willie Adler or Sami Yli Sirnio joined to play lead guitar venom or something, for me I absolutely love this album for what it is and think it's a fantastic way for an old band to continue to make music. Speaking of modern venom, I do wish they would have social media pages and keep the fans in touch from there, the only place that keeps fans updated is their very outdated website.

KISS - Alive set featuring Alive, Alive II, and Alive III, and a bonus disc I haven't checked out yet.

CANNIBAL CORPSE - WHEN DEATH REPLACES LIFE 7XTAPES BOX (RED)
SEPTIC FLESH - 1991-2003 9xTAPES BOXSET
PRIMORDIAL - A HEATHEN'S ANTHOLOGY 8XTAPES BOX
ROTTING CHRIST - OLD COFFIN'S 6XTAPES WOODEN BOX

The first three I knew would be awesome but was really impressed with the size and quality of the wood in the Rotting Christ boxset. So this became my biggest order to date topping my Grimoire Records entire catalog order from last january.

- Negative Plane - Stained Glass Revelation CD Invictus Productions
- Antichrist - Pax Moriendi CD Iron Bonehead
And


Everything costed me 35 dollars.

Bought 2 albums today that I really should've bought years ago, but poorness and no money and other bullshit excuses...

Spock's Beard - Snow (2002). Simply one of the best prog concept albums ever released. Quite accessible in spite of its length and almost flawlessly blends storytelling and songwriting. It's fun at points, funny at points, sad and epic at other points. Also, as far as tearjerker endings go, Steven Wilson's saddest stuff has got nothing on this album, precisely bc this album isn't trying to be emotional, it just is.

Riverside - Out Of Myself (2003). Their debut, their greatest masterpiece still. Unlike with the successor Second Life Syndrome, listening to this album isn't about waiting for the amazing moments, it's pretty much amazing all the way through. Has got to be one of the absolute best prog debuts of all time.

Can't recommend either album enough to prog fans, must-haves, absolutely.

Last actual metal album I acquired was Eclipse by Amorphis, but I've got several non-metal albums, including The Fragile by NIN and Appeal to Reason by Rise Against.
