This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.
Those of you who know me or have bought from me in the
past know i have a TON of music, at one time one of the biggest black
metal collections in the US. Now is the time to unleash hell, over the
next 6 months or so (or longer depending on how long this will take to
sell everything) i will listing 1,000s of Records, CDs and Shirts. So
please check back and check back often, listing and taking pics of stuff
takes a long time so i think this will take me a while.
Most of my stuff is original presses, ALOT of it, as far as the vinyl is concerned is unplayed, i had doubles of alot of this stuff, otherwise i will put in the
description
if theres a problem or if its not the Original pressing, trust me, i
know whats real and whats not, i will denote properly what the item is.
I've been buying and selling for over 25 years so most of these were obtained by me personally or i got it from a friend.
Bigger
part of my collection is black metal vinyl, will do that first, then
onto thrash, death metal etc. i will do Shirts after that, then the CDs
last, i have 1,000's of CDs so lets see what happens with that. I have
some black metal extreme rarities that WILL NOT be listed, you can
contact me for a list, you will not be disappointed. Plus i have "sale"
vinyl i am disposing.
Those of you who bought from me before know i
am an excellent packager, so please do not send me a note asking to
remove the vinyl from the jacket. Anyone buying overseas, its super
expensive because i only ship Registered overseas, this is to protect
the both of us, anything over 4 pounds automatically ships Express Mail which is even more expensive.
HAPPY HUNTING!!
heres the "black death and beyond" Box Set on Triple Vinyl from Darkthrone
Rare - Limited retrospective from the innovators of Black Metal
Original Pressing on Peaceville Records
STILL SEALED!
statement from Peaceville -
'Black Death and Beyond' is a special collector's boxset featuring an in-depth book containing extensive accounts of the band's history and philosophy from both Gylve 'Fenriz' Nagell & Ted 'Nocturno Culto' Skjellum, as well as additional recollections from bass player Dag Nilsen. Numerous other artists and friends along the way give their thoughts on the legends too, plus the book contains a large amount of personal photos from the band archive.
Also included are 3 vinyls featuring Darkthrone's own choice cuts from their illustrious collection of death/ black/ & metal/punk classics, presented on white, black, and transparent vinyl
Fenriz explains the concept behind the track selections: ''I never
quit my day job; one of the reasons being that I can listen to music on
headphones there all the time. To the extent that I rarely listen to
music at home anymore, and if I do it's like I can't hear it PROPERLY.
At work with headphones is
where the details reveal themselves and
also which songs I can and can't use in compilations or dj'ing appear
quite clearly. Every time I get/buy a cassette or vinyl I have to
transfer them to wav files via a computer programme, then I write a
little note to accompany the final burnt disc. But the note first swings
by my workplace where I can rate the various songs with a clever
underlining-system called THE FENRIZOLATOR. And so passes the days.
Then came the idea to do a Darkthrone book and with it a vast box
set. There was talk about 3 compilation discs, one with Death, one with
Black and one with our other styles. So be it. But this time I took it
upon myself do it PROPERLY. And to do that....well, I had to face my own
rating system. Because I
also use the F-OLATOR on regular CD's, it
took 3 whole days to rate all of our 16 full length albums. Certain
discoveries were made, like the song I think is worst by Darkthrone is
HANS SISTE VINTER (Scoring only 12 out of 60 points) and also that The
Cult Is Alive is probably our best album - at least it's the one with
the highest grades consistently. But I digress. AGGRESSIVE DIGRESSOR!!!
Lists were made, and I truly tried to be as honest and fair as possible,
Ted was initially going to do this but I think he suddenly saw how
monumental a task it would be, and ended up with - well, what you hold
in your hands right now. My ''BEST OF'' trying to follow both my biased
ratings, crystal logic and also personal favours and my fave Ted
songs''.
