Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - Mind Control

I’m trying to lay low on buying new records and dig some more through the collection that’s already here. It’s truly joyous to listen to great records that haven’t been on the turntable for years and years!

Müür - Grief Ascension

Stoic pagan black metal.

One of the best projects we had the honour to work with. This album even surpasses Cauldron Bog and that first release already blew our mind.

Neil Young & Crazy Horse - Cow Palace 1986 Live

Seeing playing a set of Neil Young covers exclusively at ‘24 rekindled my love for both bands.

That F # ’ Up release is pretty damn good. And yesterday’s flea market find is a winner as well.

A lot of records have been added to my "for sale" list.

Here's the initial post:
I’m selling a bunch of records. You can find the list here: https://www.discogs.com/lists/Top-list/1315632
There’s a price set for each record. You can always (try to) negotiate. The more you buy, the more you can negotiate 😀

All records are in good quality. If not, I will let you know. Don’t expect mint condition, some records have been played a lot and have been in my collection for years, others may have been played only once.

Records can be stacked for a week or so but have to paid for asap. I’ve had too many orders cancelled after weeks or even months.

More records will be added to the list the coming weeks.

Send a message if you want something and I’ll respond.

Koldovstvo - Ни царя, ни бога (Ni Tsarya, Ni Boga)

Very eerie, atmospheric, raw-ish black metal with shrieking howls, clean chants and folkish parts.
This is the first press on gold with black marble vinyl.

We’re very happy to have been able to collaborate with this mysterious entity.

Co-released with .records while did the tape version. We also took care of the CD version.

Highly recommended!

Lunar Aurora - Of Stargates And Bloodstained Celestial Spheres

As an impulsive record buyer, there is a lot of unplayed music in my collection. Yesterday, I finally tore the seal of this one after owning it for who knows how many years (my guess is between six and eight).

When a band has such a vast discography, I often find it difficult to get into it. I want to get to know each album. Really “know” it. With nine full lengths of considerable length, this sometimes feels more like a daunting task than a discovery trip. However, I started it and it has been a great ride so far.

This one is a real banger. Very powerful and potent black metal that asks for a few spins to crawl under your skin. The music oozes a certain mystery while it simultaneously is in your face. A rare combination. Highly recommended!

William Onyeabor - Hypertension

The story of William Onyeabor is something else. Suspecting of being a spy on Russia, going back to his home country of Nigeria, starting a pressing plant to release the soundtracks he made for his own movies and providing work for the village he lived in. There’s a cool docu about this.

The music is very funky, often repetitive and has a psychedelic edge all over it. I recommend starting with the compilation “Who Is William Onyeabor”.

Øde - Schimmenwoud

Bleak black metal. Scored a copy through Heidens Hart after abandoning my personal copy years ago because I sold one too much in the webshop. This record mixes classic second wave black metal parts with mid tempo and mostly slow depressive passages.

CIRCLE - Empire

Circle is the most represented band in the music collection over here with +50 LP’s, +10 7”es and a handful of tapes and CD’s (not counting side projects).

The music ranges from NWOFHM to krautrock to ambient to punk to weird improvised sounds to psychedelic to acoustic folk to piano music to what not.

The two long tracks on Empire sound at least partially improvised. They start slow and build up to some psychedelic krautrock in the second track.

If you ever get the chance to see them live, don’t hesitate. The way they go from songs to improvised parts and back really is beyond me and impresses me every single time. Amazing musicianship! Don’t be fooled by the weird costumes and stage presence, it’s easy to label it as a gimmick but being equally skilled as a band as individually give them a pass to act however they want on stage. Also, if the show really sucks, just go back and see them next time as their shows can be wildly different.

Gnipahålan / Evilfeast - Storm av rå nordisk dödskonst del. II / Black Witchcraft over Carpathia LP

I have the impression a lot of people don’t like split albums. Some even make a separate end of year list for splits next to albums, EP’s, demos and so on. For me a split is a release like any other. And this is an example of a great split release.

Gnipahålan is one of Swartadauþuz best bands. It’s not just a “riff salad” (term courtesy of Maurice Gnaw Their Tongues). The music knows to keep my attention and interest.

The Evilfeast track is pretty melodic. In the first part it reminds me of The Secrets Of The Black Arts (the song) by Dark Funeral. As always, great use of keys and ambient interludes that mix keys and guitars.

Recommended split on Amor Fati.

Secrets - Towards The Nightsky

First spin so not much I can say about it yet. It’s clearly In The Nightside Eclipse worship. I usually find it difficult to discover the “song” in Swartadauþuz’ work and only have a few of his releases. Enjoying this first spin though. I guess I’m up for some decent, mysterious, synth heavy black metal!

Vemod - The Deepening

Disclaimer: I’m not a huge Vemod fanboy. While I Venter på stormene resides in my collection, it never struck me as it clearly did with a lot of people. I’ve seen amazing Vemod shows (Beyond The Gates) but also shows that did’t do it at all for me.

So The Deepening… One of the advance tracks (Der guder dør) made a good impression and I decided to go for it. This track already grew on me with the first two spins. Halfway through True North Beckons right now, this track displays a lot of emotion music-wise. I’ll have to listen to it while following the lyrics.

Happy to have this in the collection!

Death - Spiritual Healing

Chuck Schuldiner, what a genius!

This is my second favourite Death album, only beaten by Human which is the first Deatj album I ever heard thanks to a kid in school that had the artwork painted on his Samsonite 😀

Symbolic, loved by many, is actually my least favourite although I still like it. And, weirdly enough, I never listened to Individual Thought Patterns in my life 🤷‍♂️

Akitsa - Devenir Le Diable

Upon first hearing this album, I was a bit underwhelmed. However simple the melodies are, it still took some time for the music to seep into my brain. Now I’l addicted to the melodies, the sound and the repetitive character of the music. Highly recommended!

Unfortunately our plans with dear friends ULTHA and Silver Knife got cancelled.

Tickets will automatically be refunded before the end of the week.

We look forward to seeing you all soon 🖤

Dear all interested in or in possession of a ticket for the Ultha / Silver Knife show on March 7th at Harmonie, Oudenaarde.

We unfortunately have some bad news, as this show will no longer be taking place. The reasons are beyond the control of the bands, promoters and venue. All parties involved are working on a replacement date later in the year. Tickets already purchased will become invalid and will automatically be refunded by the end of this week. Once a new date is set we’ll launch a pre-sale for the new event.

From all of us a heartfelt apology to all of you who were looking forward to the show . We hope to see you all soon!

Regards,
Ultha / Silver Knife / Unholy Events / Babylon Doom Cult

Departure Chandelier - Satan Soldier Of Fortune

Napoleonic War Black Metal as they call it themselves.

It’s sort of melodic, mostly mid-tempo war black metal with sparse yet effective keys. The vocals remind me of Mirai’s vocals on Sigh’s Scorn Defeat. Recommended!

One of my hobby’s (if you can call it a hobby) is swimming in cold water. Today was probably the coldest I’ve done so far with 2,5 degrees (Celsius) water temperature and 4,3 degrees outside temperature. It was technically the coldest but I remember swimming in 2,7 degrees with an outside temperature of -4 last year which made it more challenging than today.

The ice floes had been taken out by the fire department.

Any other “polar bears” (as we call it) here?

Abigor - Taphonomia Aeternitatis

First spin of the new Abigor. I like the early years best. I haven’t really spent enough time with any album after Apokalypse to let them really sink in. They’re still growing.
