METAL VINYL Record Collection Update - May 2023 (Death Metal / Black Metal / Grindcore)

[@ExplosiveAction]

OOPS! Incorrectly referred to Lamp of Murmuur's "Submission and Slavery" as "Punishment and Slavery". I guess I really wanted these two EP tracks on the main album...

[@under-one-flag]

Necroticism is my favourite album in the world - always has been for the last 30 years, and nothing will change that.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Damn straight!

[@rebeccacornish535]

Nice work Simon watch your show all the time mate greetings from Tamworth Australia

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks for watching, Rebecca! Glad to hear it's not all country music in Tamworth

[@bvdaussiemetalhead9338]

Congrats on scoring an OG of your favourite album of all time 🤘

[@ExplosiveAction]

It's a god damn ripper man! So much so that I want you to listen to it now haha

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

I was very kindly gifted a copy of that ‘Imprecation’ record & what a gift to receive… it’s a fabulous album… which gets better the more you hear it… so you’re in for a treat mate! Nice OG ‘Carcass’ record Simon… one of the very best!🤘🏻

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers mate! Yeah Imprecation keep delivering, a real solid band.

[@mendicantmedia]

Cheers for the shoutout man and yep that was a damn awesome gig as well as a fun catch-up beforehand. Enjoy your Necroticism

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers bloke, yeah great gig and I'm stoked with my Necroticism!

[@Metalminersmusic]

I’m glad to see Imprecation in your hands. Exceptional stuff as you described. I really enjoy the VOIDCEREMONY as well, technical and progressive without loosing us meat and potato guys. Have a great weekend

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thrilled to finally get the Imprecation. I thought I missed out on the demos LP comp too, but I think I sorted that as well. Voidceremony works on many levels!

[@rogerkjorvik]

Great update Simon. Imprecation was released October last year, so nice to see it finally arrived down there as well, killer album. Waiting for my Voidceremony, looking forward to that one. Nice OG score as well. Cheers.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Wow was it that long?! Was the LP caught up in press, or was I just unlucky here?

[@rogerkjorvik]

@@ExplosiveAction I had mine when I did my list for last year, so I guess you were unlucky there mate.

[@albertampel4175]

"Symphonies..." was my entry to Carcass but "Necroticism" will always be my fave! I´ve seen them so many times live, the best one was with Tiamat, Gorefest, Cannibal Corpse and Death in 1994.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Oh man, what a highlight concert that would have been. I'm at three times myself but all since the reunion in 2008. Also, haven't you been awake like 27 hours?! Go to bed lol

[@brandondement5164]

Awesome metal collection video just got done listening to Suffocation Breeding The Spawn cd

[@ExplosiveAction]

Great album!

[@RichardWolfe79]

Good stuff man! I’ve seen Emperor twice. Went to Milwaukee in 98 and they played about twenty minutes and had no keyboards for their set. Saw them again in 99 in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Twenty minutes?! How disappointing!

[@tompatchak8706]

On my list!!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Which ones?

[@tompatchak8706]

@@ExplosiveAction all of them! Well I mine my Spotify list. And the ones not on there are on my KZbin list

[@orangedroning]

Happy to see you got your hands on a copy of Fellwinter - mighty good stuff. I think B&C are dropping another LP in August under the Arbor (Taurus) alias.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers mate, and thanks for the heads up on Arbor. I'll look out for that one. I really wish the Gauntlet Ring albums would get another press though!

[@metalevilution4565]

Some killer collection additions in there. Was at EMPEROR too but sadly missed the performance being stuck behind the merch desk all night. Heard nothing but good reviews though. \m/

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers mate! Was that you that said hi when I was at the merch counter?

[@Count_Deangeli]

Funny, I like the soft side of the Häxanu guy - I think the outro of their first album is gorgeous and his other project, Ringarë - Under Pale Moon is fantastic. The fast & furious stuff feels too much to me but may give "Totenpass" another listen in your honor...

[@ExplosiveAction]

Ringare is excellent! I should put that on again soon. I hope you dig Totenpass as much as me, it's certainly not all furious blasts.

[@brandonburch1447]

Super cool to see you talk about Carcass & your favourite album. Seeing them next month and I cannot wait. You should check out Trespasser's new album, I think you'll like it, brilliant black metal from this year. Cheers!

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks! I dug Tresspasser's last one.

[@thedreadfulminutes]

Another OG in the bag… Carcass are untouchable, particularly that early era. Sweet score on that LoM… looks like I'll finally be getting on, waiting on arrival… I don't mind the Immortal touches… if they go Judas Iscariot next time all the better, haha.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Cheers Rick! Yeah I'm all aboard wherever they go next, it's been an interesting ride.

[@jarraddove]

That Moortrieder artwork is very similar to For all tid by Dimmu. Great record.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Hey it is! Good pickup

[@johnhynes8721]

Necroticism is a top 3 DM record for me all time. I would almost be tempted to say the only thing that would make it better would be if "Tools of The Trade" was on the record, great song, but on the other hand why mess with perfection.

[@ExplosiveAction]

I can agree with that. Tools is a superb track

[@metalmattalogue6761]

Going to Emperor tonight! I missed them last time around because they didn't play up this way.

[@ExplosiveAction]

Awesome mate! Hope it is as good as Sydney!

[@wgw7259]

Brissy show was also great! Definition of a pro band

[@brentlohr3394]

You need more goregrind in your collection. At the moment, the goregrind scene is expensive with bands; Purulent Remains, Gestation, Mephitic Corpse

[@ExplosiveAction]

I'll check those ones out! I have a heap of goregrind and showed some in recent updates

[@dimmufrost666]

Alex Poole is also the main brain in Skaphe'.

[@ExplosiveAction]

I need to check out more of his work

[@123slowdown]

Any Silverchair in the collection?

[@ExplosiveAction]

Stop making me vomit!

[@spencergrady5501]

did you see The Amenta supporting Emperor?

[@ExplosiveAction]

I did, and I was keen for them, but twenty years since I last saw them and my changing tastes, I really did not care for them.

[@spencergrady5501]

@@ExplosiveAction ah, good to get your thoughts - I am a sucker for most Debemur Morti Productions stuff

[@ExplosiveAction]

@@spencergrady5501 I just got the two new Aara LP releases in this week, direct from Debemur Morti, aslong with the Perilaxe Occlusion CD compilation. Two weeks from France to Australia!

[@TETRARCHFREAK]

I've never heard of those bands before Simon but Carcass sounds familiar to me I can't remember if I've heard of their music before. Have you heard of a band called make them suffer. Simon? I think there from Australia the band has a female keyboard player and singer they sound really hard 🤘😈

[@ExplosiveAction]

Thanks mate! I know of Make Them Suffer, it's a bit too metalcore for my tastes. Carcass have been around since the late 80s and helped pioneer grindcore and goregrind in the UK, so pretty foundational.

[@entroponetics]

that Lamp of Murmuur isn't bad, but it rips off the wrong era of Immortal

[@ExplosiveAction]

At least it didn't go full Sons of Boring Darkness

[@dylansabbath9085]

im seeing tomorrow in auckland in new zealand

[@ExplosiveAction]

Awesome, I read that was their first time ever.

[@dylansabbath9085]

@@ExplosiveAction yeah mate the show was awesome i got a signed set list from Ihsahn and a guitar pick, had a great night, the band was so tight and perfect

[@brainsmasher666]

I've heard a handful of friends say that Necroticism is the downfall of Carcass and it just reeks of try hard bravado opinion.

[@ExplosiveAction]

That is a total baloney statement! I suppose if you were there at the time and expect pure grind, maybe, but I definitely wasn't.

[@lukem7852]

Thought I saw you at Emperor and yes they missed the Bathory cover :(

[@ExplosiveAction]

Feel free to come say hi, a couple others did! I wonder why they left that off.

[@lukem7852]
