Record Blog Update: Blacklisted, Bitter End, The Mongoloids

Thanks for checking it out!!!

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 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

To Be Continued.........

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."

To Be Continued.............

Blacklisted/Black History Month Appreesh!

Hello world! I have come out of hibernation. My old computer decided to pass on so I have been having technology withdrawals especially with all these sweet records coming in and having no one to show them to. I hope you enjoy!

So I got my 50 lions pre-order from SFU and when I got the package it felt kinda light considering I ordered all 3 colors. Thinking of how they made the records this light and what kinda of sleeves/covers the records where packaged in, I opened the mailer like it was christmas morning only to find one lonely record. I immediately got on my computer (before it passed away) and sent Dave (Six Feet Under Records/Blacklisted) an email letting him know that I only received one out of the three records I ordered. He let me know that he didn't package all of them up and that he would send the other two records to me immediately. Dave = awesome dude! And here they are.

50 Lions - "Where Life Expires" - Neon Yellow/Black Swirl w/White Splatter (100)

50 Lions - "Where Life Expires" - Army Green w/Black Swirl (200)

50 Lions - "Where Life Expires" - Clear w/Blue/Green/White/Orange Splatter (500)

I was definitely impressed with these colors. Especially the first and third colors, super unique and crazy looking. 

I got my Not Sorry pre-order a couple days ago. Definitely in love with this band right now. And definitely gonna try and add more of their variants to my collection.

Not Sorry - "Moving On" - Red (500)

Another band I have just been getting into is The Rival Mob. I don't know why I haven't listened to these guys a long time ago but I'm glad I do now cause they are awesome. I hope to pick up some more stuff from them.

The Rival Mob - "Raw Life" - Black (700)

After all the delays and all the anticipation, I finally received my Fire & Ice pre-order. This band is one of my favorite bands right now, I can't get enough. I hope this band keeps putting out awesome releases.

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Silver (100)

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Clear w/ Red & Silver Splatter (300)

Fire & Ice - "Gods & Devils" - Black (600)

Here are some recent Blacklisted records I've got, nothing special just some odds and ends.

Blacklisted - "Demo" - Black (890)

Blacklisted - "Live From Nowhere USA" - New Cover - Blue (425)

Blacklisted - "Our Youth Is Wasted" - Red (200)

Now last but not least. THE MOST RARE Mongoloids in existence. I'm probably the only person who has this many mongoloids records and I know for sure who has this record.........

The Mongoloids - "S/T" A/V TRAIN - Gold w/Record Release Cover (#2/3!!!!!)

This cover is the same as the record release cover but when Greg (The Mongoloids) was telling me about it he said " they ordered 100 copies and received 103." So they sold 100 with regular covers and they had 3 extras, One of which is in my possession. The other two belong to Greg (The Mongoloids) and Bob Shedd (Jersey Shore Straight Edge). As you can see it is marked everywhere with "2/3" so as to save the confusion.

To see one of the biggest Mongoloids collections in the world go to these sites:

I also just received my Blacklisted - "Eccentrichine" print today. Now I am just waiting on the 7"s and also another Blacklisted record to complete my HTHLTG collection ;)  My print is #'d  82/103.

Thanks for reading and stay tuned for my uncontrollable loot.
