Don't Let Them Collect Dust

Over the years I've collected a healthy amount of records. Some have never been played, and many have only seen the needle once or twice. My goal is to play every record I have, giving them life again at least once. To make it easier on me, it will be done alphabetically by format then genre... Yes I have OCD with my records and they are genretized and then in alphabetical order. If you are in a band or have a record label, I will gladly listen to any record sent to me and write about it on here. Send me a PM if you are interested.

All Pigs Must Die - Self Titled ep 12″

Seriously, if you don’t listen to this band... where have you been since 2012ish? Under a rock? Its too metal to be hardcore, and too punk to be metal, and too hard to be punk. Do you have hatred inside you? This album will speak to you. This is pure hate.

Kreator - Decibel Flexi Series 7″

That OG thrash that make you head bang so good. You know.

Panopticon - Decibel Flexi Series 7″

I love Panopticon. I think between him and Emperor, they are the bands that really were my gateway to black metal. Panopticon has a way of incorporating more than just blast beats and growls into the music. It might be because its just one guy who rights his shit out in the woods and records his vocals as they come to him on his iPhone. Who knows. Check out the album Kentucky. I can’t wait to see him at the Decibel Beer and Metal fest.

Sleep - Dopesmoker 12″ x2

This “album” is one fucking song... that takes up 2 discs. Think about that for a second. Maybe if it was played at 45rpm, but nah, this is 33mfrpm. Every time I listen to this album, I swear new parts just appear. Maybe its because I go in and out of paying attention, but its just nuts like that. Its a Where’s Waldo book for your ears, there is always something new if you look in the right spots. Aside from that, this is the quintessential stoner metal album. I can’t imagine being fucked up and listening to anything else more closely looking for meaning.

Under the Skin OST 12″

If you’ve seen this movie, there are two facts that are true. 1. You’ve seen Scarlett Johansson full frontal and it was great. 2. You know that the score to this movie made it so fucking weird and creepy. I had to pick this up when I found it. The movie may have been just an excuse to her Scar Jo nude, but the soundtrack is worth sticking around till the end for.

Sleep - The Clarity 12″

Right off the bat, this is more Holy Mountain than it is Dopesmoker. Which is a good thing. There can be only one Dopesmoker. This is still great, and will do those bong rips justice.

Church of Misery - Thy Kingdom Scum 12″ x2

Looking for some Japanese groove doom to band your head to while you rip 1800 bongs? You’ve come to the right place. Put your head through the wall music.

Myrkur - M 12″

If you think black metal or metal in general is a boy’s club, gtfo. I remember reading about all the hate this album got because fucking nerds in the moms’ basements don’t like girls singing black metal. Cunts aren’t kvlt? Shut the fuck up. This album rips and you dweebs know it.

Blood Incantation - Starspawn 12″

Did you sleep through 2016 and not hear the heaviest thing to drop all year? Guys, this band is like Hansel right now, so hot. This album... I don’t even know how to describe how hauntingly great it is. Get into it.

Blood Incantation - Interdimensional Extinction 12″

This band calls themselves death metal, but this is so much more. This is doom, its black, its sludge, its fucking heavy. These guys are crushing it so hard right now, don’t sleep on them.

If you don't mind my asking, what was the one scene in The Witch that was hard to watch as a parent? (I don't have kids yet.) I actually didn't care for the movie, but I love talking to people about it. I've seen an array of diverse reactions and have had some very interesting conversations with people about the film.

The scene with the crying baby covered in blood in the campfire light. And you knew something bad was about to happen to the baby. My daughter was 1yo give or take a month when I watched this and it was pretty hard to get through.

Immolation - Decibel Flexi Series 7″

I listened to this while I was trying to just power through some albums so I don’t really remember it much. I remember liking it, but nothing specific.

[notjustacollection]

Van Halen - II 12″

BRUH! All the fucking hits in one place. This album is pure fire. Diamond Dave and Eddy at their best.

Memoriam - Decibel Flexi Disc 7″

Honestly, I listened to this like 2 months ago. I don’t remember if I liked it or not. Going to lean towards just not being impressed.

Have Heart - What Counts 12″

One of the best hardcore bands of the 00′s. They didn’t need to be around forever to make an elephant size footprint in the hardcore scene.

Champion - The Truth 7″

Social media stories and politics aside, Champion is great. If the stories are true that sucks, but it doesn’t change what the band stood for. This was a solid eBay pick up.

Zao - Decibel Flexi Series 7″

This new track is poop. End of story. Should have stayed broken up.
