Holy schmokes this is great stuff! Thanks uncle Ratfucker!
And a friend of mine turned me onto Ghost a couple weeks back. I don't know that I'd always listen to their albums beginning to end, but their live shows look incredible.

cdr only oop. vinyl sold out on rise above before i could buy it as its 350 copies only

Some people on another messageboard were talking about this & I just failed to get in on the 1st pressing of the CDr, but was lucky enough to get in on the 2nd. Great stuff. Was happy to hear there was going to be vinyl, & then dismayed to see it was going to be Rise Above - cue stupid prices & size of pressing. Think I heard their 1st record is going to get reissued on vinyl too (although that could've been someone mistaking it for this one), please Satan don't make it RA again.
― Wandering Boy Poet, Friday, 23 September 2011 12:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
These samples sound great, going to have to try and track down the full album. I'm not sure how much say these guys had in how their stuff gets issued, but shit like what Rise Above does pisses me off to no end. I have no problem with limited edition collectible vinyl for the fetishists and collectors, but how about issuing a standard release to get your music heard? I mean, seems in situations like this that either the bands don't have any say, or they don't care about their music not being widely available, or they are happy to have people pirating their shit.

the album is easily found on blogs linking to file upload services. It's really good, and I would have happily paid for a CD/ legit download if I had had the option.

Yeah, thats how I'm getting this one. I'm just saying, you'd think a band would want the wider exposure and also the $$ from a legit release. I don't get the limited vinyl ONLY thing. Like, makes so much more sense to do both.

― good luck in your pyramid (Neil S), Friday, 23 September 2011 15:11 (1 year ago) Permalink
Yeah, I downloaded this pretty easily, but I'd much rather have shelled out $30 for a vinyl version, especially given that awesome cover art. Kinda weird when you WANT to give your money to a band / label, and they sorta make it impossible. Guess someone in the organization has a Swiss bank account somewhere.

Listening for the third time. Why does this record have to rule so hard? I was hoping I'd draw the conclusion that it was one-note and sorta not worth keeping on the want list in light of the collector scum bullshit, but dammit, "Ritual Knife" came on and I was all "fuck."

Exactly. The people purchasing these things are the real problem, imho, because it only encourages labels (and bands) to pull this shit again in the future.

What do you mean by "charity"? Why is it wrong for me to want to legitimately pay for an album that I really enjoy and play the hell out of? Even if these guys do tour to my area, having a newborn at home means I won't be going to the show anytime soon, so this is a good way to throw some support at them. Yes, I've acquired the album for now, but I'd love to pay for a "real" physical version.
― jon /via/ chi 2.0, Tuesday, 11 October 2011 15:40 (1 year ago) Permalink
it's obviously not 'wrong' but they clearly don't give a shit whether you have a reasonable chance to buy one of their albums or not, so I'd just be inclined to say fuck 'em and burn off a CDR

Yeah I've seen a bunch of complaints about it. Apparently no sleeve either, just a piece of card. As someone above said, sounds like their might be a 3rd CD(r?) pressing, which is good news for those that spent a 3 figure sum on eBay for one of the previous 2.
All this is beginning to take away from the fact it's a great record...sorry, CDr.
― Wandering Boy Poet, Thursday, 13 October 2011 12:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
i take it more as an ambient drone interlude than a proper song, and on that level it's p cool. certainly prefer it to the knife's moves in that direction on their new album.

― j., Tuesday, 16 April 2013 22:03 (1 month ago) Permalink
They probably practiced the songs a lot more. There's definitely noticeable mistakes on "Blood Lust," possibly due to the foggy haze of weed smoke that was likely surrounding them during recording. (ie "13 Candles" the bass switching to different parts of the song at the wrong time.) Those are some of my favorite moments on the album.
