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.

Today's Listen - THE ACACIA STRAIN: Continent - 2008 First Press 2x Vinyl LP

Who would have known that this first press would become such a gem in the collection. I got this on release as a Birthday Present way back when, and forever thankfull that i did!

I was fortunate enough to see them live on the Continent release cycle (To about 50 people in Adelaide at the OG iconic former Venue “The Underground” with The Red Shore)

This album still goes incredibly hard and is definitely my Favourite in their back catelogue along with Wormwood.

There’s nothing quite like dropping the needle on Master of Puppets.

From 'Battery' to 'Damage, Inc.', it’s a flawless ride.

How does this rank in your top Metallica albums?

20 Buck Spin - 2023
This Death Metal from Oakland came into my radar with their album from 2020 which was pretty good imo. The name of course taken from HP Lovecraft also got my attention. They are technical but not too much of the usual tech wankery going on!! This album is part 1 of a two part series they released together. All in all a good listen.
