Type O Negative Vinyl Box Set


Type O Negative
Type O Negative Vinyl Box Set


The vinyl box includes all Roadrunner released Type O Negative material  contained within one collector's box. Each album will be issued on double green vinyl, with the album art recreated, including the controversial, rarely seen original cover of "The Origin of the Feces". Type O fans know all about that cover and the anatomy which it features. Each album will also have new, branded liner notes documenting the genesis and completion of each album. An exclusive sticker sheet with six mini bumper stickers will also be included in this "must own" set for Type O Negative diehards. It's an instant collector's item. This set includes the following releases: "Slow, Deep and Hard", "The Origin of the Feces", "Bloody Kisses", "October Rust", "World Coming Down", "Life Is Killing Me".


Roadrunner will release a Type O Negative vinyl box set through independent retailers on Black Friday, November 25th.

Of the box set, Type O's Johnny Kelly said, "This looks great but we're disappointed that Roadrunner couldn't get it together to do the scratch 'n' sniff cover we wanted for 'The Origin of the Feces'."

Foro de madera


El foro de el Bosque de madera pretende ser una comunidad cerrada a la vista y llegada de individuos que disfracen de eclecticismo una falta absoluta de criterio, tanto a nivel musical como en otras manifestaciones artísticas/culturales.


El dudoso gusto musical y las ideas prostituidas de lo que deben ser los estilos musicales aquí comentados están fuera de las pretensiones puestas en el foro.
Ejemplos: el enésimo grupo de "Black/Drone/Doom/Ambient con influencias Folk..." no tiene cabida aquí, de la misma forma que considerar a grupos de Post-Metal de tercera regional como Sludge Metal está fuera de lugar y únicamente contribuye a seguir enturbiando la idea que se tiene sobre el género.

La activación de cada nuevo miembro se llevará a termino de forma personalizada para evitar la entrada a gente no deseada.
No existe ningún tipo de privilegio por haber comprado en el Zurdorium o amiguismos que valgan.
Quienes deseen registrarse con un alias diferente al que suelen utilizar, que confirmen su identidad mediante los comentarios de esta entrada, a través de un correo electrónico o mensaje privado en el foro donde ambos estemos registrados.
Aquellas personas que conozca y considere que tienen unos gustos similares a los míos serán admitidas.

Si tu grupo predilecto es Black Sabbath y te encuentras hastiado de los prepotentes bufones que pueblan con impunidad otros espacios de conversación, este puede ser un buen lugar para alojarse. En caso contario, puedes volver a tu hermandad y seguir manteniendo las apariencias.




Un saludo,

Corrupted - Garten Der Unbewusstheit


Corrupted new album "Garten Der Unbewusstheit" CD finally out August 20th.

And so, the consciousness left from the body being wounded and exhausted by the countless difficulties of life, assimilated with the spring called infinity, like healing oneself. An infinity and eternity. An eternity and symbol of death. A symbol of death and wellspring of creation. Rising from the wellspring of creation, the product will rest forever even after the ruin of the body of the creator, reprocessing in front of another new lives. But as the time passes by, our lives in reality are loosing It's imaginative fascination by the material, times, and the evil named science. Our lives are full of lies. Our suffering demented soul will completely support death. Just because of the strong love for "life". CORRUPTED should be the the rare existence as the band nowadays struggling to expose the lies of life. Their 4th album is entitled "Garten Der Unbewusstheit", which means "garden of unconsciousness". This is the final album by "original" CORRUPTED featuring 3 tracks, total 63 minutes. But ”garden of unconsciousness” should have existed from the early hardcore approaching days of CORRUPTED. The reason is not clear, but definitely what was going on was not progression, nor development but seeking and recurrence. So the fact is that the beat on this album is most calm, gentle, and transparent than ever. And this paradoxical evolution form is nothing but the result of huge studio works, mixing thousands of feedbacks and guitar overtones like constructing the three dimensional architecture. The remarkable point of this 3 track hour of suit is that this album totally transcends our usual sense of time. Like feeling a minute & a second like infinity, and feeling 60 minutes & 360 seconds like moment...... this transcending sense can be described as the sense of liberation from material and life through music. So first of all, let's experience this album and expose the lies of our "given life". At last, as many may already know, the vocalist Hevi and guitarist Talbot left the group after recording of this album and 17 years of activities since 1994. Now CORRUPTED has a new singer Taiki (ex- FREEDOM, DIABOLIC ART) stepping forward to another unknown level. Like inviting us to another garden of unconsciousness...

Puños de hierro


Iron Fists: Branding the 20th Century Totalitarian State



"Steven Heller analiza en este volumen ilustrado el arte, el grafismo y los artilugios propagandísticos creados por los gobiernos totalitarios de la Alemania Nazi, la Italia Fascista y los regimenes comunistas de la URSS y China. “Como cualquier campaña de identidad corporativa, el régimen totalitario exige a sus ciudadanos lealtad a la marca”, dice Heller que con estas palabras resume uno de los principales objetivos del libro: mostrar cómo estos regimenes utilizaron el diseño gráfico como instrumento de poder.


La esvástica y la tipografía gótica de la Alemania de Hitler, los pósteres aerodinámicos y futuristas y las camisas negras de Mussolini, el realismo social de la Rusia de Stalin y el Pequeño Libro Rojo de Mao son símbolos reconocidos en todo el mundo. Todos ellos fueron usados en una gran variedad de propaganda, desde pósteres, revistas y anuncios hasta uniformes, monumentos, banderas y estatuillas. Además, todos los líderes cultivaron unas determinadas características personales (el bigote de Hitler, la calvicie de Mussolini, la perilla de Lenin o la sonrisa de Mao), tratando de transformar sus respectivas individualidades en iconos. Más de cuatrocientas fotografías los recogen en este libro, que cuenta con un capítulo para cada régimen, y que explora además la paleta de color utilizada por cada dictador, las tipografías, y los slogans que se usaron para vender el mensaje totalitario, congregar e influir sobre la población."

160 Greatest Arnold Schwarzenegger Quotes


Burning Witch - 4xLP+DVD Box Set


"The BURNING WITCH 4LP boxed set is finally in production after various delays for various reasons. 4LPs will be contained in a black slipcase (heavy printed and side loading black box), with a 42 page 30cm square perfect bound book of artwork and photos, and a few texts.

Towers... & Rift.Canyon.Dreams LPs will have cloned covers (and identical track listing) from the original Slap-A-Ham & Merciless LPs, but printed as Stoughton tip-on style sleeves (and sans inserts).

Towers... LP is cut from the original 1/2" master tape that somehow was missing in all the years between its recording and post 2008 Crippled Lucifer release. Stuart Dahlquist at last managed to unearth said tape a few years ago and the resulting test pressing of this record sounds absolutely incredible. I dont know if I've been involved in a recording before or since which gives me the tactile, tangible satisfaction of said album.

Rift.Canyon.Dreams LP benefits greatly from a remastering for vinyl by Mell Dettmer (who mastered all 4 LPs in fact) and a great cut. Clarity is much improved to these 4 abstruse tracks.

The third vinyl in the set is a 12" with Bleeder & Rift.Canyon.Dreams (2008 mix version) tracks. Fourth LP is an amazing sounding recording of the 1996 live concert at Pioneer Theatre in Seattle (with Greg Anderson also on guitar) with an insert of photos from said concert. That was pre-Towers.. 3rd and 4th vinyls are housed in direct to board sleeves by Stoughton.

We are pleased to announce that Alan Dubin is involved in the project, he is authoring a DVD which contains the 2 known video recordings of the band live: 1996 Pioneer Square Theatre (from original super 8 videotape) and 1997 on Public Access channel 29 "29 Live" (from original super VHS). This DVD will be inserted into a pocket in the perfect bound book. Here is a photo of the capturing process...

All in all this is the complete (and final) retrospective of material from this long defunct group who survived a near miraculous afterlife and memory amongst the faithful. We neglected to include the demo or any rehearsal material as it's not worthy... you can find this all online anyway. We attempt to present it all in its original intention, and the supplementary pieces, in my opinion as art director of the Witch's releases over the past 16 years, follow that original aesthetic closely.

The boxed set will be manufactured in an edition of 1500 copies and available from Southern Lord Recordings this Autumn.

And so, after these long roads, the nails are in the coffin.

—Stephen O'Malley, Paris, July 2011"
