if you don't buy your metal records from indie retailers, they'll send Matt Pike to your house to knock your teeth out with a frost hammer!!

Doubtful, considering Pike put his John Hancock on the exclusive tracks contract w/ Best Buy...

What if I already bought the indie version and re-purchase at BB for the extra trax?

I used to buy shit at Best Buy all the time. They had a version of the High On Fire album with three extra tracks for $7.99! I'm supposed to pass that up for what, indie cred? Blow me.
I dunno what best buy is, but jeff got me the hof from there. $7.99 + 3 extra tracks!

Why has nobody been flipping out over the title track? It has been stuck in my head for the last two months at least. "Make me see / like before / all I want / is more!"

ATTN JVC: reckless on milwaukee has it! i went in there and they gave me the same "yeah so we're kinda embarrassed about this but no we don't have it atm" rigamarole and then i gave them my name/number and they said they would call me when it's in and then they called me like 15 min later. i went back and got it.
so far i like it but i'm looking forward to seeing how they handle the electronics live. i would actually welcome a stripped down/sped up mix of some of these songs.

Thanks for the follow-up! I'll see if I can squeeze a trip down there sometime this week, unfortunately I'm working 4-12 tonight and got an all day study session tomorrow.

From the interviews I read circa Assassins, it sounds like the Nachtmystium live experience is basically the album songs sped up, stripped down and a bit more "black metal" leaning. Less electronics, definitely. So I think we're in for a pleasant surprise.
xp
― I just wish he hadn't adopted the "ilxor" moniker (ilxor), Tuesday, 8 June 2010 20:32 (fourteen years ago) link
Yeah, when I saw them with Torche and Boris after Assassins came out, that was pretty much the case.

From what I understand they dont do any of the electronic stuff live, its just more BM versions.xps
― pfunkboy (Herman G. Neuname), Tuesday, 8 June 2010 20:33 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, i've seen them like 4x maybe? they're always totally raw and on it, so i have high hopes for the upcoming show, even if it is TWENTY DOLLARS.
ps jvc i was at that show too, it was awesome.

Title track is the high point for me. Sadly, the rest isn't.

No worries, I say this as someone who just spent $90 a ticket to see Taylor Swift along with 19,000 other people.

How many people will go to see both Taylor Swift and Nachtmystium this year? Stand and be counted, ye faithful.

I think he means liking both Nachtmystium and Taylor Swift is a really ILX place to be spiritually.
