100 Demons: S/T and Starkweather: Into the Wire

From the same seller as the Creepy Crawl record, I picked up 100 Demons: S/T and Starkweather: Into the Wire.

The 100 Demons is pretty intense and I like it quite a bit. I did not know it was produced by Zeus and sounds amazing..



The Starkweather on the other hand... is just not that good. Maybe it's one of those records I have to give a few more listens, but it just did not really appeal to me.



A good friend of mine is a Starkweather fan, so I thought I would pick it up... but maybe its better suited for his collection!

wait....The one review on Amazon makes me really feel like I missed the point of the record. Sorry Jeff! I think this will remain in my collection for a while longer.

from Amazon.. "Ok, here is the deal with this album. Starkweather is a band that you have to understand to like. When that happens, you will be obsessed with them. It's just that simple. With such powerful vocals (very hard to understand at times...but the lyrics can bring tears to eyes), and such a melodic and painful background of musical abilities...this is a MUST have. If you like "Emo" or just plain beauty...this is for you. I can't explain it...you just have to HEAR it! "

Creepy Crawl: Live! NYHC at it's best!

I've been holding out, waiting for this to show up for a good price, for a while now.

Many of my favorite bands are on here and its all live from Coney Island High in 1996!

Absolute classic!

Botch: Unifying Themes Redux Repress

This is a great record that has been recently repressed on Hydrahead records.

The presentation on this is just what I would expect from Hydrahead and Botch.

Printed on brown, speckled vinyl and housed in a gatefold white, matte paper sleeve and comes along with a CD copy of the material.



This record has the cover of O Fortuna from Carmina Burana on it. In my opinion, this is one of the best stylistic translations ever written.



For each 15 records you by at Easy Street, you get one free ... this was my "free" one!

Cryptopsy: And Then You'll Beg

A fantastic find for me at Singles Going Steady!

I love old Cryptopsy and it's so hard to find these used, locally.

One of the last stacks that I went through had a copy of And Then You'll Beg in great condition!

Young Widows: Old Wounds

Also at Looney Tunes, I found a used copy of Old Wounds by Young Widows.

I just found these guys a couple of months ago and like their style a lot.

This is on a very small label, Temporary Residence and its on very nice blue transparent vinyl with black swirl. This looks great with the black, matte cover.

Incantation's Onward to Golgotha: Decibel's Hall of Fame Edition

I have been waiting for this for a while now. While in NY, I went to Looney Tunes and found a copy.

Incantation: Onward to Golgotha is a genre defining record. It is one of my favorite old school death metal records. This is Decibel's Hall of Fame Edition with comes with a high quality back patch and a sticker. This is also the red vinyl, limited to 500.

Cave In: Antenna

I found this at Easy Street in Queen Anne. It was in the used section and I had heard some good things about them. They always seem to be cross referenced with some bands that I really like.

However, somehow I missed listening to them up to this point. Its on Hydrahead and I was afraid that it would sell quickly, so I picked it up impulsively.

When I got it home, I was very open minded to hearing it for the first time!!

Unfortunately, I really can't say that I like the record too much. As much as I wanted to, it just .. meh..
