Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

1 Upvotes

This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

Figured it was my turn to post my copy of this ubiquitous but excellent album. Limited edition of 500. Pics were taken without filters, the second pic is when I hit it with a black light flashlight, third pic is full glow. For the warmth ;)

My pre-order of Who Loves the Sun arrived today, giving it the first spin right now. First impression is that the mix sounds a lot better than on Cool World and of course it rocks

New release Stoned Hare - Medication for Enemies (Red Vinyl)

We finally got our hands on the physical release of our second album! We are an indie-stoner band from Brazil. Getting this red vinyl pressed was a huge milestone for the band, made possible by splitting the release across several independent labels.

We are selling these to fund our third record and future international tours. To celebrate the physical release, we are dropping a few download codes for the heavy vinyl community. If you are into heavy riffs and fuzz, enjoy!

Got this in the mail today. Panopticon has become one of my favorite metal bands lately. Austin consistently puts out quality work. And while this is only my second Panopticon album I've purchased on vinyl, the presentation and artwork has been great both times.
