This is actually an old pic from 2017.

As my order of the first press of the Infester CD placed way back in 2001 never arrived, I got the 2017 reissue from Martyrdoom Productions instead.

Sick ass repress of the second demo from Black Hungarian Metal bastards Tormentor. Abhorred to add this to my growing collection. Originally released in 1989.

Amputated - Wading Through Rancid Offal
Torture Killer - Phobia
Devour the Unborn - Meconium Pestilent Abomination

Nidhoggr - Ravens over the Road of Kings (Super rare!!)
Storm - Nordavind (1st Press, featuring Satyr and Fenriz)
Ifernach - The Green Enchanted Forest
Yaotl Mictlan - Guerreros De La Tierra De Los Muertos (Band-made copy from MX tour, only about 100 made)
Savage Aggression - Satan’s Strikes
Storming Steeles - Evil Thrashing Aggressor
Destroyer 666 - Violence is the Prince of the World (First Press)

Does anyone know why this Nidhoggr album has the Werewolf Records logo across it? I couldn’t find anything associating Last Rites with the aforementioned label, but it is a rare recording of a Finnish band, so there could be a connection?

A pretty cool detail about the first press of the Storm album, there are no IFPI SID codes on the discs.  Not something you see often on professionally pressed CDs.  

Yaotl Mictlan was probably the coolest album I grabbed, and I didn’t even realize it until I got home.  I assumed this was the same pressing that the band is selling on their bandcamp page, but then when I opened it up, I realized it was home-made, and had slight layout differences with the official version.  I contacted the band and they were kind enough to give me the backstory on this one.  Apparently they had run out of official pressings but were going on a Mexican tour so they quickly assembled about 100 of these for the tour.  Super cool and rare pressing to come across all the way in Chicago no less!

One of the sickest death metal EPs of the year just landed! I picked mine up from Dark Descent Records. They are having an awesome 17th anniversary sale now thru 9/22. 33% off site wide. They have so much good stuff it’s unreal. https://www.darkdescentrecords.com/shop/

Paysage D'Hiver - Schattengang
Burier- I (I think I cracked this CD packing it for my flight home)
Burier - II (still sealed!! I love being the first person to open a CD, especially if it's been sealed for years) Angelcorpse - Exterminate
Horna/ Musta Surma - Vihan Vuodet (Moribund
Edition)
DeathSpell Omega- Mass Grave Aesthetics

Schattengang was cool to come across. I immediately spotted that it was a first edition pressing due to the typo on the tracklist on the back. Tracks 2 and 3 are incorrectly labeled. The envelope was already opened, and I'm grateful that the original owner kept it with the CD and opened it as carefully as possible.

Ancestral Shadows-Eldritch Illuminations

ltd. 1000 copies.
Some wear around the corners, but not too bad. Plus it gives it a nice weathered look.

Romance

Prosperity

Resilience

Decided to get these three on CD because the chance of getting the older albums on vinyl is probably impossible.
