Bolt Thrower Realm of Chaos rereleased on LP[views:12351][posts:71]________________________________ [Oct 12,2012 6:13pm - KEVORD ""] I just ordered mine. Psyched!!!! :bow: [img] At last, for the first time since it's original release, the legendary grindcore album "Realm Of Chaos" is finally available on vinyl!! This limited edition vinyl has been pressed from the original master tapes in Full Dynamic Range audio. Those of you who bought the Napalm Death "Scum" and "From Enslavement To Obliteration" LPs earlier this year will already know just how much of a difference this makes. For those of you who missed out, this means the album is at its optimum sound quality, with full dynamic range and in its highest resolution. No loss of quality, no compromise. To put it simply, this is, without doubt, the best sound this album has ever had! Originally released in 1989, the album immediately took up residency as a Death Metal/grind masterpiece, mixing an incredibly heavy sound with a war-based theme and image that the band still employ to this day. This re-issue features brand new art drawn by original GW Warhammer 40K Jon Sibbick, the artist who also did the original art for the release back in 89. Bolt Thrower continue to enjoy success to this day, and have also released Warmaster, The 4th Crusade, ...For Victory and the rarities collection Who Dares Wins on Earache. Track Listing 01. Intro 02. Eternal War 03. Through the Eye of Terror 04. Dark Millenium 05. All That Remains 06. Lost Souls Remain 07. Plague Bearer 08. World Eater 09. Drowned in Torment 10. Realm of Chaos 11. Prophet of Hatred 12. Outro http://www.earache.com/uswebstore/ |

MUST USE TITAN It's basically resin crack: super-expensive-but-awesome collector stuff, like old versions of current vehicles, super-heavies like Baneblades and titans, and long OOP stuff like the Rapier Laser Destroyer, all in resin and all with their own rules (you need opponent's permission to use'em, but if they're not a dick nobody should really have a problem with it). |

They changed'em to a 40mm base from a 25mm, and it looks like the models are all doing Matrix poses to try and justify the switch. To me a Terminator suit is a walking tank, all clunky and static. *shrug* [img] |

Tyranids in particular (alone out of all the factions, and excluding for some reason Necrons) CAN'T have allies. That said, I'm totally building a Genestealer cult with Genestealers from the 'Nid list and cultists from the IG list, and fuck the haters. But, yeah, usually you just gotta have I think a certain amount of points total, and you need at least 1 HQ and 1 Troops choice from the allied faction. Other than that, the sky's the limit. |

I got like an ever flowing stream on vinyl. The only thing weird is that it shows you that they majorly vary the lengths of their songs. So it looks weird cause you have 2 HUGE areas and then some smaller ones. Just looks weird to me. |

| _________________________________ [Dec 20,2012 11:08am - KEVORD ""] I received my copy of Realm of Chaos in the mail yesterday. It sounds really good. I actually kind of like the new cover. Wish it came with a poster. The sleeve the record comes in is kind of flimsy. I would have gladly paid more for a gatefold. If Earache keeps releases them I'll keep buying them. Can't wait to get Left Hand Path. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 22,2012 12:03pm - porn ""] for $24 PLUS SHIPPING you can own your very own copy of the 2nd bolt thrower album on a CD pressed to 12'' vinyl! This album hasn't been on vinyl since the early 90's, what a deal! Collect all 4! record industry in 2012 is like the comic book industry in the early/mid 90's. I can't wait to see these shitty reissues at all the local record shops and flea markets dirt cheap in five years. |
| ________________________________________ [Dec 22,2012 7:42pm - DestroyYouAlot ""] fuck off stampcollecting speculators anyway; if you're buying these for resale value, you deserve what you get. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 22,2012 7:54pm - KEVORD ""] If you steal music from the internet you're a bad guy. If you buy vinyl and support metal labels you're a sucker. You can't win I guess. I'm a metal fan so I like owning copies of albums I like with the big artwork and sometimes better sound. I don't care about limited colors or whatever. I just buy whatever is available. |
| _______________________________ [Dec 23,2012 1:55am - porn ""] the price is just my complaint, i would be more inclined to support these shitty ubiquitous reissues if the labels didn't feel entitled to sell them for $20+ a piece knowing that the only alternative is to buy an original on ebay for at least twice as much, and instead sold them for $10-15 like every vinyl record ever prior to 2008. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 23,2012 8:15am - trioxin245 ""] I don't think you realize how expensive it is to press vinyl these days. I used to think $20+ for a record was ridiculous, but after looking up the prices for Blessed Offal to self-release an LP, I realized that $20 is actually pretty reasonable. I'm not denying that earache are most likely a bunch of money grubbing bagel fiends, jus' sayin'. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 23,2012 8:25am - trioxin245 ""] For instance, if you pressed the record from OP with this company,http://www.urpressing.com/colorpalette.php , it would be roughly $4.40 per record for just the record, then probably another $4-5 per to print the layouts, then shipping, and they have to pay the band per record of course, and the label has to make money as well, otherwise their would be no reason to bother in the first place. |
| ___________________________________ [Dec 24,2012 11:21pm - robotpie ""] Yeah, I don't get how it's so expensive now. Is it jut because there are so few operating pressing plants now? |
| ________________________________ [Dec 25,2012 12:30pm - porn ""] im aware of vinyl costs, been there with pressing cds and records. im not sure their exact format, but i just decided to check out the quote generator for UR for the sake of argument. 1500 records with custom Jackets and paper sleeves comes to a unit price of $3.93 each. Because they are pressing 1500 copies of this the unit price is much cheaper than most bands who will self press 300-500. Besides, if you're self pressing its a labor of love anyway, and probably a better choice to make them cheaper and more available to the fans. If it comes with a lyric sheet then add a little bit of money for that. Yes of course the band will get paid, but i'm sure with earache this is some royalty deal more than a lump sum or 20% of the pressing like most UG labels do. Even if after all this it did turn out to be $8, they're selling it for $24, triple the cost itself. Also i'm assuming their wholesale rate isn't much better because any labels who distribute this i've seen asking even more than that. Most labels can do just fine selling records with superior packaging for $16-18, and this one doesn't seem too elaborate, just a single disc in a jacket. |

| ________________________________ [Dec 25,2012 1:04pm - KEVORD ""] This thread was cooler when it was about Realm of Chaos and not about getting butthurt over record labels making money. |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 25,2012 5:23pm - trioxin245 ""] Record labels are businesses. They want to make money. Some people (like me) dont mind paying a bit more for a glorious LP version of a particularly good album because we are nerds who own childrens toys from the 70s and display them on our shelves like they were trophies. It really doesnt need to be this complicated. Realm of Chaos is one of my favorite DM albums of all time and I wanted it on vinyl and they released it. I paid maybe 8 bucks more than it was worth, and earache gets 8 dollars more incentive to do more awesome vinyl releases. WHY IS THIS SUCH A PROBLEM TO YOU BRAH |
| ____________________________________ [Dec 25,2012 5:25pm - trioxin245 ""] On a side note I just paid 25 (although it ended up being on sale for only 20) bucks for an awesome 180gram double-LP gatefold bla bla all that shit vinyl version of Manowars 'triumph of steel' even though I have the cd and it was worth every penny. Sounds so good with that nice organic reverby sound that only vinyl can provide. |
| ________________________________ [Dec 25,2012 10:59pm - porn ""] I'm guessing you didn't get the memo when most if not all modern pressing plants make their lacquers from digital masters, and if they do accept DAT tapes or another analog master they usually convert them to CD-r or something in house. The analog warmth you speak doesn't exist on any record pressed in the past 10 years anyway, but people believe that because they're playing it on a system that doesn't convert soundwaves to binary code that it somehow sounds better. Besides we're not talking about a mozart concerto played on a 17th century stradivarius, we're talking about a 90's death metal album. I doubt anybody on this board probably notices a difference from their CD version. |
