Awesome Collection of 700 Mega-Based, Rare & Legit Black/Death Metal CDs I Bought Locally In LA

[@d-hell]

Grade in previous ownership: NM. Grade after buyer handling them: G+ 😂 Great drool inducing score though. Possible big turnover there 👍 Lots of gems that would have looked good in my own hungry collection!🤤

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

JEEZE

[@weird_cds8206]

I was thinking the same thing!

[@GoreGrinder]

Loved that your cat had to check the contents of the boxes and rubbed its head on them. That's what my cat does too whenever I do any unboxing :) Though not a big fan of black metal or CDs (i collect vinyls and tapes), you got some great stuff for sure.

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

@@GoreGrinder thanks, I think my cat was just trying to get dibs on the good cds

[@N0garddragon]

What a nasty collection. I stick mostly to vinyl and cassette (33 year old black metal/ doom death fan). What a massive collection. Guy must have been on hard times to let these goes. Music, especially metal, is so rich in culture and "lore". Thanks for sharing, wicked fucking haul.

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

Agreed, I don't know exactly why he decided to sell, but the guy had great taste in metal IMO

[@Rainonasphalt]

The sound of you scrapping the jewel cases together was like nails on a chalkboard. You're going to scratch them.

[@user-go5hv6dg3d]

Dude the way he handles them in general is waay too rough. As a collector, fuck that..

[@DesolateSolitude]

Incredible Haul man! Very cool & impressive!

[@daviddanmark13]

That guy had good taste.

[@PunknotWoke]

Very cool collection, and an excellent cat!

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

Thanks, everybody loves the cats!

Jesus Christ, that is an insane black metal collection on CD by the way I’m the one who ordered nightfall by Candlemass on cassette I finally got it in the mail. Just wanted to say thanks. I recently got Epicus doomicus Metallicus by Candlemass on cassette which is pretty rare. Both really great albums I think candlemass is a really great band too bad that they didn’t become as big as I feel like they should’ve been.

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

@@KingRichard1013 Candlemass rules, especially those two albums

[@KingRichard1013]

@@ThrashMetalIQ the copy of Epicus Doomicus Metallicus on cassette that I bought on eBay was the only one being sold on eBay. It’s pretty hard to find on cassette. But obviously you can get it on CD or vinyl, but it’s pretty rare to find on cassette because I don’t think that they made very much copies of that record on cassette. In my opinion, I think the first record is like the best album. It’s just straight up balls to the wall bad ass epic doom metal. The song demons gate was actually the first song that I ever heard from Candlemass because up until that point I’ve never heard of them. I was at my Dads house one day I was in high school and I was listening to a heavy metal station on DIRECTV and this song demons gate started playing and as soon as I heard the intro I was like what the fuck is this, this is creepy and eerie and then the guitars kick in and they just start playing this really bad ass riff every since I heard the song I was like whoa that was really cool. I’ve never heard anything like it thats what did it for me I was hooked on Candlemass ever since.

[@KingRichard1013]

@@ThrashMetalIQ also I know that you didn’t really dig ancient dreams by Candlemass but me personally I think it’s underrated I actually like it. I mean it’s got some pretty good stuff. I mean, come on the song mirror mirror how can you not dig that? By the way, I never heard you talk about another favor band of mine metal church. What are your thoughts on their first three albums which I think our masterpieces. I mean, you can’t go wrong with David Wayne and Mike Howe Two really great vocalist.

[@Godless-Being]

As a 33-year-old male who mostly grew up with Rock(Linkin park kOrn Disturbed ect…..) Pop(Throwback like lady gaga and ect…..) Rap(Eminem etc…..) This was a great haul you showed us. I only got into black metal last year. The first black metal I heard was Behemoth(followed by Deicide cannibal corpse and Dark funeral🤘🏻). It’s quite amazing what kind of collections you could find in the black metal scene(whether from Spotify or on the net). I don’t know how I didn’t discover black metal long ago as well. I’m mostly a rock metal guy(although I’m not too picky on what I listen to as long as it doesn’t suck), but in the terms of like LINKIN PARK kOrn disturbed some Metallica and Slipknot. Anyways, long story short thank you for this video and thank you for showing us your collection🤘🏻

[@theredrooms2079]

I just bought Hell Awaits on CD the other day

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

Hell Awaits is by far the best Slayer album. I now that is an unpopular opinion, bu it's true LOL

Id love that collection. Im a completionist which is my OCD talking. I will go out of this world headbanging. Semper Fi!

A lot of this is similar to my collection though mine isn’t in as good shape 😊

I have that Dissection "The Somberlain" off No Fashion and didn't know it goes for fifty bucks what the hell lol

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

Yeah, there were 2 copies of it in this haul.

[@DorianPaige00]

This is the stuff that stores could pay $4-5 per disc for and still turn a profit. Specialist collections are valuable and you can't pay out what one pays out for Michael Buble cds that sold 10 million and there's little interest. Point is the collection is clean, deep, and has imports, out of prints, first editions, ect.

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

100%

[@mattfyock5648]

You skipped over that Mortem CD real quick. $100+ album. Hardest of their albums to find.

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

Interesting. I'll check it out

[@rrss7212]

theres no chance i d sell all thse gems even for 5k, maybe only if i knew i'd be dead soon, wow

Did you used to run the heavy metal rarities website? Your website layout looks very similar. Cheers

@ThrashMetalIQ cool. I had a shop years ago and am getting back into the mix of collecting(im done being a dealer). I mainly dealt in rare thrash and dm cds. If you need help pricing anything super obscure, let us know. I'll be glad to help out. I'll be checking your store out soon. Cheers

Wow. So much underground music on CD. Are most of your sales to GenX or Millennials? Does GenZ even buy physical media anymore? No shade. Just asking.

[@ThrashMetalIQ]

Because I sell online, it's impossible to tell for sure, but when local LA people come by to pick up their order at the store, it's usually Zoomers (Generation Z)...so maybe there is still hope :)

Fair play. Thanks for the reply. I have roughly 1K “Metal” CDs in the collection of 4K. But my taste is very classic 80s, Sludge and DOOM centric. A lot of vintage “Heavy Psych” too. Thanks for sharing your hauls! Always interesting. And that crazy cat! They love to get in the way precisely when you are tying to do something. Lols.
