Get in quick on the first Converge 7″ right NOW

By Tre | Published 01/04/2012

I can’t waste any time here. There’s only about an hour and a half left on this old Converge 7″. Yeah, you know this one. The first one, that “sounds like Biohazard.” But now that Biohazard is cool again, maybe it’s time to revisit this record. Like I said, not much time left, these words are cutting into your bidding time… Take it away sourmod!

Converge for Metal Monday

By Tre | Published 11/21/2011

If you know me, you know that I pretty much hate metal. Shit is just silly most of the time. Fucking costumes, long stupid hair, silly lyrics and so forth. There are exceptions though, I’ve always loved Iron Maiden. But shit like Slayer? Get that shit out of here. Fucking kiddie music. So for Metal Monday, Converge is probably as metal as I can get, without venturing into “I hate this record” type posting territory. Not gonna venture too far from home here with this auction from earwax666hotmail since we put this out years ago. 2000 copies of this quadruple 7″ on these four colors were made. Shit sold out with the quickness.

Converge Petitioning Forever lonely bonus 7 inch

By Tre | Published 11/07/2011

Not sure why spasmman has this poor lonely Converge bonus 7″ separated from his brothers, the Petitioning Forever 2xLP, but this is the rarest of the 3 colors it came on. The listing is a little off, there were actually 150 of these, not 100. Still, this is the from the first pressing, so there’s that. I know that we’ve found stragglers laying around the office, mismatched pairs, etc. This could be one of those records.

Only Living Witness s/t 7 inch for metal Monday

By Tre | Published 11/07/2011

I have always favored the first 7″ from Only Living Witness to any of the later stuff. To me, it just got too rock-y, too much like Alice In Chains / Soundgarden, etc. I know that for most, that is when the band really hit their stride, but outside of Nirvana, the 90′s grunge rock deal never did too much for me. Just noticed that pibedos is located over in France, but I wouldn’t let that stop you.

I can’t knock Jonah’s voice though. Dude can sing for sure. Did you hear him on the Converge track “Grim Heart / Black Rose” off No Heroes?

There are so many that are unloved

By Tre | Published 09/23/2011

We got another Converge “Unloved and Weeded Out” 7″ from hadley362010 here. I like that he lists that they were “packaged by the band themselves!” Hm. More like packaged by me in my living room. This is one of the unnumbered copies, which were the band copies, out of 100.

Baroness Red Album test pressing

By Dave | Published 09/16/2011

The first time i heard The Red Album I wasn’t sure what to think. It kind of annoyed me, i felt like the songs were boring and went on too long. Shawn and George used to play this all the time on Blacklisted tours. Like every day. After a while it started to grow on me. The same cant be said for Torche though after hearing that every day too.
Anyway we got to play with these guys once in Boise Idaho randomly right after this came out and it was one of the most intense 45 minutes of riffage I’ve ever seen. It reminded me of watching Graham from Annihilation Time play, just riffs from another planet.
_fate_just_missed has the test pressing of The Red Album, which only 7 were made of. Its the Hyperrealist pressing which pre-dates the Relapse Pressing

He also has up the first pressing on Hyperrealist on double red vinyl. Its still sealed which while cool doesn’t show off the awesome laser etchings around the edges of the vinyl.

Not as cool as the Bill Murray Stripes

By Tre | Published 09/10/2011

…but a pretty decent stripe nonetheless.

So I am sitting here on the couch, trolling thru the eBay, and I check my twitter feed and see my man @jimmiexxx post a tweet about how the movie Stripes is on, and I scramble for the remote before remembering that I canceled cable a couple months ago. Dammit, well, there’s no way it’s on Netflix Instant. There’s no good movies there. WRONG! Looks like I am hanging out with Bill Murray tonight. I have no idea if freshandbroke is a fan of Bill Murray, or early 80′s comedies, but he seems like a fan of BINs, as he’s got quote a few up now.

There ended up being 642 of these Converge “You Fail Me” red / black striped LPs, and 8 wound up sloppy and splattery, which makes the full 650. We later took 21 of some leftover and screened cool covers for em. Both of those command top dollar, not as much as the clear / white striped though. Shoot freshandbroke and offer, and see what sticks.

Petitioning Petitioning The The Empty Empty Sky Sky

By Tre | Published 09/10/2011

No time to blather on about these 2 records here, they both have only about one day left. A Converge classic, the original Petitioning The Empty Sky 7″ released on Ferret. In this corner, we have oathrecs hailing from the UK, and in this corner, we have chewing_jujubes from the great white north of Canada. Get in there quick. Both records are still reasonably priced, and ready to be scooped!
