I’d have to say at this point in my life Immolation is my favorite band, so it’s pretty sweet to finally get a copy of this on vinyl. Immolation stuff is really hard to track down so I was lucky to find this at a good price online. I also had a PayPal “giftcard” that was given to me by PayPal for an unknown reason, so that made it even better. This was released on Metal Blade in 2000.
This weekend I’ve added another classic death metal album to my collection. It’s hard to believe someone would sell this for a few bucks to the local record shop, but I love them for it nonetheless. This is the original pressing on RoadRacer Records (RoadRunner Imprint) from 1989, catalog number RC-9511. It’s not in perfect condition but it still plays perfectly and has yet to leave my record player. The best part is I didn’t even pay $20 for it.
Classic death metal albums are always what I’m looking to find and South Florida is a great hot spot for them. Even better is when it’s an album I’m actively looking for. Just a few weekends ago this gem landed in the used metal bin of my favorite local record store. Not only is this a classic and completely under-appreciated album, it is in seriously perfect condition. Baphomet came out of the Buffalo scene along with Cannibal Corpse & Malevolent Creation among others. They didn’t have the sustained careers of those bands but they still put out a classic album and looked awesome doing it (check out the inner sleeve photos). This is from 1992 on Peaceville records, catalog number Vile31. This was a great find at a tasty price.
