That is a most fascinating painting/album cover. Interesting how the demonic creature has 3 forked tongues and no eyes. Which indicates at least to me that he speaks a lot of lies but can't really "see". *edit* Unless those are eyes on the sides of it's head. Then of course that to me would indicate limited, one-sided, no depth-perception "vision". Just rambling...heehee

Yes Meliboeus, I do see the resemblance to the painting on the Celtic Frost Into Mega Therion album cover.

Lol alright, that one matches.

But I'm adding Circle Of Dead Children to the list.

Should probably also add:

Poostew
Suffocate person
Jigsore Terror
and 7000 Dying Rats (at least their Season in Hell album)

Cheers!

OK...found a new fairly new one I kinda like it so far...anyone else listened to this yet:

 

[Meliboeus]

Got today, 36 minutes of pure progressive awesomeness...i am even starting to like the vocoder vocals...the supersized artwork of a gatefold vinyl sleeve is really worth it with good covers like that...

 

[Fido2]

I just saw that LP down ay my local record store...is it good Mel?

 

[Meliboeus]

The pressing and production quality is very good IMO, it's quite short so there isn't a great deal of inner groove distortion in the last tracks,which is a common issue with new releases, even if on 180gram like this one...but it also depends on the turntable of course. I have made a 24/96 digital rip and it sounds perfect...listening right now with the dt-990s, even if i have to admit that the grados are the real deal for this record...

The outer sleeve is well made, unlike the inner one ( with lyrics ), which is too thin to hold an heavyweight record properly and it arrived already torn at the edges in spite of it being new and sealed.

 

[Fido2]

Tell me what I need to be able to convert LP's to 24/96 like that....please

 

[Meliboeus]

An adc of some sort which can be either interfaced with a computer or record directly on some medium....for example many use a standalone cd recorder to backup lps and tapes ( 16/44 ). Otherwise you can use an internal or external sound card, there are many options equipped with 24/192 adcs and rca inputs where you can plug your phono preamp, for example Esi Juli@, Emu 1212M, Terratec dmx 6fire usb ( the one which i use ), and many other devices on an higher price range. Then all you have to do is to plug in your turntable, use whatever audio recording software you want, store in 24/96 flac and enjoy.... However, the difference between 16/44 rips and 24/96 is very subtle, at least on my audio setup, i do it just for peace of mind...just to archive in the best possible quality...

You be right................the record sleeve is fraking sweet, the gatefold album cover inside artwork is fraking sweet, whole package is fraking sweet.

Is the record itself just black vinyl.........

Was wondering if any of the metal heads in here have heard of Turisas? I didn't hear of them until they opened up for Dragonforce in my hometown. Saw them and was completely blown away. Such an epic sound, and stage presence lol. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knows of bands with a similar choral sound, like Turisas does in a lot of their songs? ("To Holmgard and Beyond", end of "Five Hundred and One", "Battle Metal", "One More", etc)

go listen to moonsorrow's first 3 cd's. namely kivenkantaja and voimasta ja kunniasta if you want epic. and w/out the cheese factor that imo turisas has.
