Discussion post Weekly heavy vinyl general discussion topic

1 Upvotes

This is a weekly general dicussion topic. The only place where vinyl is not mandatory in the conversation, but vinyl-related topics are encouraged.

Tips for great deals? Any new pre-orders up? Looking for a sold out record? Want to sell or trade a couple? Wondering why the hell Weakling or Symbolic still don't have represses? Can't tell which variant you have? Why doesn't your turntable work without a pre-amp? Which priceless cartridge is the best for raw black metal recorded with a potato in a vacuum cleaner? Drop it all here! Keep it civil, keep it nice.

Received my “Chaos Reigns” variant yesterday and gave it its first spin today. Looks fucking incredible, somehow sounds even better🖤 Also marks my 19th proper Converge release on vinyl (unless you count the double vinyl repressing of “Petitioning the Empty Sky” and “When Forever Comes Crashing” as two, then it’s 20!), with #20 (or #21) being the split 7” they did with Napalm Death on it’s way! Adore this band, collecting their records continues to be an amazing experience🖤

This one needs no introduction, but this specific pressing deserves some love!
The crystal-clear wax looks phenomenal on the turntable. It fits the atmospheric tone of the album surprisingly well.

Clear vinyl can sometimes be hit-or-miss with surface noise, but this press sounds remarkably clean. The soundstage is crisp, letting those classic dual-guitar harmonies by Jesper Strömblad and Glenn Ljungström shine without sounding muddy. The bass end holds up nicely for an album recorded in the mid-90s.

Having the legendary Black-Ash Inheritance EP included as a bonus 7-inch is an incredible touch for collectors!

I posted my copy of Death-Symbolic a little bit ago on this sub and asked for recommendations for the next Death album to get.

Most recommendations were all of them, so I pulled the trigger.

I’ve been listening to them on streaming for a bit but the vinyl is such an improvement.

Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Scream Bloody Gore (1987)

Leprosy (1988)

Spiritual Healing (1990)

Human (1991)

Individual Thought Patterns (1993)

Symbolic (1995)

The Sound of Perseverance (1998)
