METAL Record Market and Shopping Trip! - November 2024 (Vinyl and CD)

[@marc.g.with.a.c.]

Always enjoy tagging along with you on your shopping trips Simon… the exercise does me good, lol. I’m sad to hear that ‘The Plague’ have called it a day… they were a great band. Good to see you sir🤘🏻

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers mate! Comes to Australia one day and I'll take you with me!

[@woodenlegman123]

I'd love to buy Cosmic Putrefaction's new album in vinyl, just to get that insane artwork in a bigger format !

[@ExplosiveAction]

I would have but having his previous three on cd I decided to stick with that

[@ezequieljonasbelmonte6843]

insane prices, nice to live there for a record collector, my god!!!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Remember $AUD is higher than USD, so my $50 Slayer was $30 USD or EUR

[@GodOvGrind666]

My favorite videos you do.

[@ExplosiveAction]

I like doing them!

[@tobyfingland8149]

Great video as always, great Slayer find.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers!

[@mendicantmedia]

Haha love the Infectious Grooves back patch. Epitaph were from Perth originally but moved East

[@ExplosiveAction]

Ahhh, right. Never really knew many 90s Perth bands outside Pathogen and The Furor lol

[@mendicantmedia]

@ they put out an ep on Warhead and played a Metal for the Brain but fizzled out. Don’t really remember them much

[@TheLassenman]

Im waiting for my order of Bolt Thrower vinyl coming in from Denmark. Awesome band in my mind. And 1 day i'm going to Japan for some nice japanese pressings in vinyl ☺

[@ExplosiveAction]

Bolt Thrower rule!

[@matoxdeepshadows]

Nice one mate, good get on the Slayer and Marduk albums, always a treat to see you out and about, all the best bruzzy. 🍻

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers bloke, yeah I enjoy scrounging haha

[@mikesmith6594]

Metal music is freaking Awesome!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Totally!

[@Iainmaclennan70]

I have that Haunting the Chapel on the Banzai label from Canada!! Nice haul!!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Killer! I actually don't have any Banzai I don't think

[@Mariomasio]

Great find on the original slayer hunting the chapel record

[@ExplosiveAction]

Definitely the highlight!

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Mommas boys turn it up lol 😂 great commentary. Cool you could hit up a couple of fairs in the one weekend. I’ve even given vinyl fairs a rest for a while now. Great find on Slayer 🤘🤘

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers mate! Super happy with the Slayer!

[@jeremyevans8601]

Haunting the Chapel is the ultimate find. I've been looking out for that one release for years. Huge score.

[@cristianosorio2517]

Hi Simon!!! Cool video and great finds too..... not bad adding an OG Slayer Ep to the collection and for a nice price, not bad at all. Great point(issue about record fairs and what you're getting in this type of events, it sucks not getting "cooler" stuff that most music fans are looking for.... cheers and be well

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks mate! Yeah not many great records this time

[@warheadrecordsaus]

Good score on the Warhead cd - dontt have to tell u im a fan lol. Shame u didnt get into Cryo, i grew up in Fairfield which was one suburb next to LA Studios in wetherill park where they and other westy bands used to rehearse and i would drop in and be in awe of them so i guess im a bit biased. Anyway, good pick ups.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Haha cheers! Yeah their sound was too bouncy for me. PsiKore were another from the era like that, and of course Segression, they didn't really do it for me. I remember how big Cryogenic were getting though, were on Channel V and JJJ a lot

[@vuzkoth]

That Damnation is excellent for what it is

[@ExplosiveAction]

Oh good to know

[@rogerkjorvik]

Nice shopping trip. Crimson is great. I didn't like Individual that much myself back when it came out, but picked up the remastered vinyl 6-7 years ago, and it sounds way better than the original cd. Not often that happens with remastered stuff, it was almost as discovering a new Death album. Cosmic Putrefaction is getting better for each release, a really well done album. Love Haunting The Chapel, very nice find there. Cheers. 🤘🤘

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks man, yeah I've really come around to this Death

[@Metalofmadness96]

The putridarium full length is awesome definitely check it out and looking forward to that stenched full length this month

[@ExplosiveAction]

Stenched rule!

[@Metalofmadness96]

@ExplosiveAction extertemly rotten production/msuo are handling the stenched full length

[@ExplosiveAction]

@@Metalofmadness96 yep I hope to have it on the way soon

[@Metalofmadness96]

@ExplosiveAction the Putridarium full length you gotta check out its definitely a good one like the demo's that are on a compilation cd they dis its a band you gotta get behind

[@spencergrady5501]

Saw some good grind in one of those markets - Cretin and Weekend Nachos....

[@ExplosiveAction]

Yeah it was a real mixed bag in that stall

[@MrLando0]

You might like the new Chat Pile. I prefer it to the debut- the vocals are better integrated in the songs.

[@ExplosiveAction]

I listened to some online, didn't grab me at all unfortunately

[@under-one-flag]

Im a huge King Diamond fan, probably my biggest collection along with Napalm Death and Carcass. We don't have any record shops near us, and charity shops are shite so it's all internet buying for me. I have always loved Edge of Sanity, and the side project Pan Thy Monium - Swano is a genius. I have that original cd of Slayer on Roadrunner - in fact my early ones are all on roadrunner, got em about 30 years ago lol

[@ExplosiveAction]

I'd say most of my earliest cds are roadrunner too! They were a great label for a while

[@rubberlover666]

Chat Pile - every few years someone discovers The Birthday Party.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Hah!!

[@albertampel4175]

Same here in Germania with the shops and record fairs, the only bring out new stuff and reissues. It´s a shame! 50 Aussie Dollars is not too bad for the Slayer EP, like you said, mandatory in the Slayer collection.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Yeah it was pretty reasonable, about 30 USD or EUR. Great condition too!

[@NEILSINGH-mh3ub]

most expensive SlayeR bootleg i got is DeaD and the Alive bootleg belgium festival 84' paid 3200 EUR each. DeaD was bought from england and Alive which is basically part 2 of the same concert was bought in Germany. i own all the old vinyl bootlegs and cd's of SlayeR have some record vinyls with bands autographs.

[@ExplosiveAction]

@@NEILSINGH-mh3ub WOW! That costs more than an original yellowgoat!

[@NEILSINGH-mh3ub]

@@ExplosiveAction very expensive stuff . SlayeR nitemare on elm str. and nightmare on elm street bootlegs are expensive as well.TAKRL (the amazing korneophone record label) makes expensive records.

[@MrGierigegast]

Tony Macalpine 👍

[@azulero73]

Love your videos but I also like Venom Prison they transcend metalcore 😉

[@ExplosiveAction]

Haha well good!

[@SinisterMinister-d4w]

I checked out 'Abythic' after watching this. Really enjoying their stuff

[@ExplosiveAction]

Awesome, I'm always glad when people find bands from my videos

[@SinisterMinister-d4w]

@ExplosiveAction awesome 👍 I'm trying to find their beneath ancient portals on Vinyl in the UK but it seems hard to find

[@jeremyevans8601]

No copies of the new Abramelin album? They must have sold out

[@ExplosiveAction]

Haven't seen copies in any physical stores yet - only mailorder. The mailorder want $10 postage for a CD so I am waiting for it to show up at a shop.

[@christopherkruse1370]

After you do these kind of videos do your friends abroad ever ask to send you funds to send them stuff you find while shopping?

[@ExplosiveAction]

Haha thankfully not!

[@enriqueagaton9515]

Where was that at??....

[@ExplosiveAction]

Newtown

[@enriqueagaton9515]

@ExplosiveAction PA?

[@ExplosiveAction]

I have no idea what PA is.

[@enriqueagaton9515]

@@ExplosiveAction Newtown Pennsylvania?

[@ExplosiveAction]

I live in Australia man.

[@ds-sv9xy]

That mercyful Fate is partially unofficial

[@ExplosiveAction]

Yeah the back looked pretty unofficial

[@ds-sv9xy]

@ExplosiveAction the label is Satan's nightmare SN1001 but here is the 2013 that doesn't look anything like the 1984 pressing

[@michaelodonnell2976]

It is absolutely incredible how vendors at these fairs don’t realize what is and isn’t heavy metal. Laughable sometimes. Glad you know what the good shit is though 😂

[@ExplosiveAction]

Yeah they often have no clue lok

[@GeorgeZimmermen]

Vinyl is just way too expensive now. I only buy my favorite bands new vinyl releases or if I get a deal

[@ExplosiveAction]

It's not great but sometimes there's bargains even with new things

[@ragnar-tl4fl]

Allways the train you dont own a car ?

[@ExplosiveAction]

Wife has one but I don't know how to drive! My eyesight isn't great for it. Bad depth perception. So I ride the rails!
