Heavy Metal Metalheads unite \m/

So uhhh... this is a thing. I'll be playing with Mayhem, Carcass, and At the Gates at the Decibel Metal & Beer fest.

 

Dude it is crazy! I've known about this for about a month but I've had to keep it on the DL until it was officially announced. I'm still coming to terms with the reality of playing with 3 infamous bands including one of my all time favorites haha. Plus I get a free pass to both days and lots of brews so that is a nice bonus.

 

I've got a new job that pays fucking nice so I've been getting some cool shit lately. Lots of weed but also a few metal gems that I didn't expect to find. That Death CD is a first pressing of Scream Bloody Gore that I found at a used book store for $8 in almost perfect condition. On Discogs the average selling price is $54 but people have paid over $100 for it so I kinda won there. Plus the original sounds better than the remixed and remastered version which is the only version that has been printed in a long time, those don't have that raw 80s death metal tone that the originals do. I've also got an original CD copy of Human but Scream Bloody Gore is my favorite.

 

Nice! Restaurants can pay pretty damn well when you get the right one. I'm doing civil engineering design which pays great and once I get some engineering licenses and stuff in the future it will pay even better but that can take years.

I still need the past 2 TBDM albums but I've got the rest of them. I still don't have any of their eps though. I need to slow down on records for a while since I just got a shipment in from the Canadian distro Tour De Garde with a bunch of stuff and I'm still trying to find time to listen to all of it haha.

 

I've gotten some more crazy shit lately from local stores and some shops I hit up while touring the midwest and I'll post more about that when I stop being lazy and take a picture or something haha. I also placed a couple orders from my favorite Canadian distro Tour de Garde, one is already in but the other should show up next week.

This is one of the best pickups I made over the past couple weeks and it was a total blind buy for me. I spent around $35 on it which is rare for me to do on a totally blind purchase but I'm quite happy with the results.

 

Good morning.

It's Fuck it all Friday

 

I actually saw Cannibal Corpse with Exhumed several years ago haha. It was a pretty fun show but Cannibal Corpse played over 20 songs and since they all sound the same it was just too much for me after a while. Either way it was a good show and Exhumed has a good stage presence.
