Hello fellow record collectors,
I'm selling off most of my record collection and I'll be listing all my metal, stoner and doom stuff first, some alternative, and then all my classic rock of various sorts, so keep an eye on my listings if you're interested. Here is a really nice copy of High On Fire - The Art of Self Defense LP with a bonus 7" record included. The 12" vinyl looks close to perfect so I would give it a M- rating. The 7" vinyl has some light marks on it but they look mostly superficial. I would give it an EX+ rating. The cover is near mint. Here is the all music guide review:
Review by Eduardo Rivadavia
Following the long, drawn-out demise of his former band, legendary doomsters Sleep (whose final album, Dopesmoker, was tied up in legal squabbles and went unreleased for years), guitarist Matt Pike finally unleashed years of pent-up song writing into a new stoner rock trio called High on Fire. On the band's first effort for Man's Ruin Records, 2000's The Art of Self Defense, Pike's instantly recognizable snarling guitar tone is the most obvious remnant from his Sleep days. But on outstanding tracks like "Baghdad" and "Blood From Zion," his previous group's snail-paced grind is replaced by driving riffs and thunderous drums that sound positively upbeat by comparison. The album also sees Pike tackling lead vocals for the first time (bassist Al Cisneros handled vocal duties in Sleep), and though his voice is buried somewhat low in the overall mix (lack of confidence perhaps?), this only places more emphasis on the true focus of High on Fire -- his bludgeoning guitar riffs. The heaviest of these serves as the backbone for the album's best track "Last," which simply must be heard to be believed. A promising new start for a genuine talent.
I will package this in a sturdy cardboard record mailer. I will ship Regular Parcel Post through Canada Post. Shipping will cost $12.00 to Manitoba and east and $10.00 to Saskatchewan and west and all of the US. This will include $100 of insurance. International buyers should ask me the shipping cost on an individual basis and I will find out the cost. Most destinations seem to be around the $16 to $18 mark, also with $100 of coverage for small packet international air, but you should still check with me first. If you want a tracking # and a required signature it will cost more. Let me know how you want it mailed and I will find out the cost.
Feel free to email me with any questions and good luck.
Cheers,
Ryan
