Long Overdue

Goodness it has been too long so i'll start it off right.

Get the Most - "Together" - Blue (400)

This record is their best yet in my opinion. I'm a fan of the previous records but listening to this LP just really hits my youth crew spot so to speak. I can listen to this from beginning to end and get progressively happier about my life and the final track "Optimistic View,"  I don't think they could've ended the record any better. Also with guest vocal appearences by Jim Hesketh and Aram Arslanian on the album really pushes this album to another level. Definitely check this out if you haven't.

Go It Alone - "Histories" - White w/ S&F '07 Stamp (#51/110) 

I love this record I think it's definitely different from "The Only Blood Between Us" but it's definitely a great progression.

Bitter End - "Guilty As Charged" - Grey/Maroon Swirl (300)

Questionably the best Hardcore record of the year, this album packs a punch equivalent to the hammer of Thor. In many ways surpassing their awesome riffs and vocals from Climate of Fear but also making a new name for itself, It feels like I'm being punished song after song (minus the spanish guitar interlude).

Fire & Ice - "Grim" - Teal (100)

In my opinion, this sophomore 7" from a band that hasn't even been around a year is definitely a great improvement on the previous 7" entitled "Gods & Devils." The hype from this band is definitely something fierce but they definitely do their best to perform up to the high standards people set for them. This record does disappoint in the least.

The Mongoliods - "New Beginnings" - Record Release - Black (50)

With a properly titled record, I believe this is a new beginning for the mongos cause this record is definitely getting back to the "Time Trials Sound" and with all the new members and all the rumors of "stealing" and what not, it definitely brings something fresh to the table. This record was released at the Six Feet Under Records Showcase and with a very humorous cover which is a true representation of The Mongoloids "Attitude".

The Rival Mob - "Hardcore for Hardcore" - Yellow (???)

This is a great record hands down even though this band is really overhyped right now they do bring something to the hardcore table that now many bands can compete with.

Live from a Climate of Fear w/ Gods & Devils

Hello all. It's been a little while since I posted. I've been stalling a bit on posting so I can make a bigger post for your enjoyment. First off I got a copy of Revenge "S/T" and it is awesome. I love the color, I love the music and I will continue to support this band for a long time. And if anyone know the pressing info for this record, just drop me a comment or email me  HERE.

Revenge - "S/T" - Purple w/Splatter (???)

So I have two main collections (The Mongoloids, Blacklisted) and after they're done I'm gonna work on Bitter End. Since my Mongo collection only needs two more pieces I have picked up a few pieces to go towards the Bitter end collection. Here is the newest piece.

Bitter End - "Climate of Fear" SFU011 - Red/White (305)

So I guess I also have a Fire & Ice collection cause the only piece I'm missing is the United Blood 2010 Cover that was sold by the band w/ the agnostic front rip off cover out of 50. Here is a sweet piece to the F&I collection.

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" TBR016 - TEST PRESS (#14/15)

Now a sweet addition to a main collection.....

Blacklisted - "Live From Nowhere USA" 6131 - TEST PRESS (20)

And last but not least is the 48th piece of the Mongoloids collection. Took me forever to find someone to give this one up which I thought was odd but who cares cause I own it now so I'm pumped.

The Mongoloids - "Time Trials" 7" RIPTIDE - Black w/Inside/Out Sound & Fury Cover (40)

Thanks for reading and I'll be posting again soon. 

Bye bye.

March Madness 3.0!!!

So first off, I received my NAILS pre-order for Six Feet Under Records. Not sure about the pressing info but I definitely wasn't expecting to pull out a colored vinyl when I took this picture. Seeing as how their first release had one pressing and one color (black), I just assumed they would keep it classic and stick with black. 

NAILS - "Unsilent Death" - Pink (???)

A few days ago I received my Harms Way pre-order as well. I love the colors they chose for the 3 variations. Just like the record above, I have no idea what the pressing info is for these records. And if you haven't listen to this 7", get on it! Download it, buy it, do something but you have to hear it. They have a song on their myspace called "Fantasy" and it is HHHEEEAVVVYYYY! Check out NAILS too. They are intense and angry and awesome.

Harms Way - "No Gods, No Masters"

This next one is one of my favorite albums and probably one of the coolest covers I have ever seen.

The dude I got it from also gave me a free 7"and when I opened the package to see what 7" I got, I expected something crappy that he just wanted to get rid of cause he knew he couldn't sell it. So first I'll show the 7"

ON - "Vital Times" - White (250)

Why he gave this to me for free I will never know. I have seen this record go for around $30 on ebay which blows my mind that I got it for free. And now the record I paid for.......

Bitter End - "Climate of Fear" - Pilsner Beer w/United Blood Cover (54)

And lastly, like the record nerd that I am, I took another picture of my Blacklisted Collection except I put the records all together this time. Here ya go!

March Madness 2.0!!!

Hello all! Got a couple good ones in recently, Both which are contributing to active collections.

And here they are............

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Black w/Winter Tour Cover '09 (100)

I now have all the variations of Gods & Devils. The only other piece I need is the test press but we'll get into that later. ;)

This next one shouldn't be any surprise at all....

The Mongoloids - "Time Trials" 7" - TEST PRESS (#6/7)

Only 3 more records to go until this collection is complete!

Stay tuned chitlins for their is much more good stuff to come!

March Madness 1.0!!!

So I was roaming around on DEADFORMAT and I see a new post about Iron Rain's 7"  "Silent Sins"

I know a couple dudes in the band and really dig the music but I just never got around to pre-ordering the record cause I was really focusing on my main collections. So I see this post about the 7" and read that it is available in their webstore. At first I was going to the site expecting to find the least rarest pressings of the record left, but I found the exact opposite. And here is what I found...

Iron Rain - "Silent Sins" - Whut? Press (#7/8)

Iron Rain - "Silent Sins" - Solid Yellow w/Black Stamp (#9/15)

Iron Rain - "Silent Sins" - Yellow Haze w/Red Stamp (#4/16)

.

Dark Smoke (48)

Clear Green/Black Mix (60)

Clear w/Green Splatter - HSIN Exclusive Color w/Red Stamp (100)

The HSIN color I purchased from the HSIN webstore and not the Iron Rain webstore. And in the original pressing info their were only supposed to be 4 colorways and then the pressing plant screwed up........BIG TIME! As you can see, it is supposed to be clear w/green splatter and its clear green w/black swirl (hint of black at bottom). And I still have like 3 or 4 other variations to get.

And yet another lil' guy added to the ole' Blacklisted collection.

Blacklisted - "Demo" - Black w/Pre-Order Cover (#35/110)

Goodbye all and stay tuned. My incoming records consist of a test press and multiple tour covers so keep an eye out to see what they could possibly be!

Blacklisted/Black History Month Appreesh! 4.0

Didn't think I would get the record in enough time to do another blacklisted/black history month post but expect the unexpected I guess. 

Blacklisted - "No One Deserves......" - Tour Press - Black (109)

I was definitely worried when I recieved my package from deathwish that I missed out on this color. I figured it would've been in their since I placed my order about 25 minutes after it went up. So I had so ask around and see what was up with it and luckily I didn't miss it. Got it from a good dude on DEADFORMAT and for good price too considering the limited number of black copies that were made.  Just thankful to own this and not have to pay an arm and a leg for it.

Gone But Not Forgotten - "Seattle Crew Demo" - Red w/Alternate Cover (100)

Got this from Jim of Champion and ON. He was doing a huge sale on ebay so I had to snag something. This was really the only variation of this record I wanted and luckily I didn't have to spend alot on it. I know Aram did and auction soon after it came out and this went for like $35 or $40 and I got it for $16. I love this band and everyone who is in to older style hardcore with that Seattle sound should check em out.

Signing out of black history month

Blacklisted/Black History Month Appreesh! 3.0

The third installment of BLACK History LISTED Month Appreesh is definitely one for the upper class.

Got my first Blacklisted Test Press in the mail today to complete my Heavier than Heaven, Lonelier than God collection. Here are some pics and such.

Blacklisted - "Heavier than Heaven, Lonelier than God" - TEST PRESS

Got this from a cool dude on b9 board. Didn't even have to negotiate, I sent him my offer and he took it no question. It's always good when you meet good, honest people on b9 cause some of those dudes can be shady.

And now the picture of my FULL HTHLTG collection. No missing pieces, no shame.

Go here for pressing info and other non-sense:

Stay tuned for future installments!

Blacklisted/Black History Month Appreesh! 2.0

Showing some mad appreciation for black history month with another round of Blacklisted spinners.

Don't ask why getting blacklisted records supports black history month because it only works out in my crazy head.

So I got all of my Eccentrichine pre-orders in. The print is pretty cool too but I didn't get a pic cause that thing and coming unrolled for nothing. But anyways, here are the records

Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" - Red w/Gold Splatter (1010)

Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" - Dark Red (606)

Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" - Cream/DW Exclusive Color (505)

Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" - Beer w/Red Splatter (305)

Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" - Cream/Green w/Red Splatter (#82/103)

The colors for this record are ok. Nothing super spectacular in my opinion. Probably the best one is the color that came with the print (the one out of 103) but otherwise kinda bland as far as "flavor."
