Cryptopsy: Ungentle Exhumation 7" (Black vinyl)


This is the last piece I needed to complete my Cryptopsy collection! Another great re-press from War on Music.

Cryptopsy: Blasphemy Made Flesh (Brown with full color splatter vinyl) War on Music Limited Pressing

This is the War on Music pressing of Blasphemy Made Flesh.  It is on some really odd looking splatter color vinyl.  It is an off brown-ish with flecks of almost every color in the spectrum.  I am glad to have this record printed on its own and not combined in the Emetic combo package.


Cryptopsy: None So Vile (Transparent Red Vinyl) War on Music Limited Pressing

In my opinion, this is one of the best death metal releases and definitely the one that had the most impact on me. Finding the original pressing of this has proven to be a challenge and there is a repress that was easier to find, but it is was a combined package of None So Vile and Blasphemy Made Flesh, in one release.  The artwork space was shared and it just really didn't work for me.   

War on Music records re-released this a few months ago along with their first 7" and an individual pressing of Blasphemy Made Flesh. This pressing, on red, is limited to 500 copies and I think finally does justice to this masterpiece.

Merauder: Master Killer Final Copy - Dead Serious Press on Red Vinyl

Somehow this record because an obsession of mine and I have collected 6 different variations of the release. The newest one is the red copy of the Dead Serious release.  Also here is the white copy from Dead Serious, the original black copy on Century Media, Gray/Cola on Deathwish, Pink/Black swirl on Deathwish and the Deathwish test press! 


High on Fire: De Vermis Mysteriis Limited Edition with Blue Print and Poster(Maroon Vinyl)

Here are another couple of copies of De Vermis Mysteriis from High on Fire. These are very limited UK versions from Century Media that were printed for the Roadburn festival and were available a week prior to the release. This edition has 4 extra tracks on it comes along with a nice, fold out poster. Printed on limited 180g maroon vinyl and the cover has the logo in blue, instead of the standard pressing, which has it in red. 




The fat, blue spines fit right in next to the red ones.  The HOF section is getting pretty thick!




Snapcase: Progression Through Unlearning Original Pressing

Some old school Victory records hardcore.  This Snapcase record was actually repressed on Record Store Day, but I didn't grab a copy and it just so happened that I found the OG press at Singles Going Steady for a few dollars cheaper. 



Champion: Time Slips Away (Clear Vinyl) and Promises Kept (Green Vinyl) Pre-Order Package with huge poster

A nice Bridge 9 pre-order package for the beloved Seattle straight edge band Champion. I have the "Final" pressing of Promises Kept from their last show in Seattle.  Apparently, it was not their final press after all! 

Also, I have the 7" releases of  Count Our Numbers and Come our Swinging, which were compiled into this 12" Time Slips Away.


Time Slips Away on clear vinyl 


Promises Kept on green and in a much nicer, gatefold cover


And the pre-order package came along with a massive poster, which will look great framed!
