quoth the raven: "metalcore"

Picked up an amazing, storied collection this week. And another couple amazing ones in the last month. We have somehow picked up over 5000 LPs of GREAT STUFF recently. Love this job. More words: www.instagram.com/p/DPDbzh5jbz...

New deftones and hell are my picks from last week. Incredible new albums. Depeche Mode reissues. Seth loves Hot Mulligan and Laufey. So much good stuff last Friday. erodingwinds.com/blogs/news/n...

It’s important to include some stupid stuff in your entertainment diet. If you only expose yourself to artsy-fartsy or cerebral entertainment you’ll start unironically referring to yourself as a cinephile or metal elitist.

Oshkosh will be CLOSED today, Sunday August 3rd. Appleton WILL be open though, from 12-4. Parker and I had a ton of flight delays and cancellations returning from a conference in New Orleans, everyone has unskippable and unmissable stuff they need to attend to today, sorry!

You may have seen us post about DEMILICH recently, and with good reason. Svart recently repressed their only full length album, a death metal masterwork called Nespithe. We recently restocked the smokey red vinyl, available online and in store now. erodingwinds.com/search?q=Dem...

We let the kids do the picks for the week and this is what happens. TONS of new titles and reissues this week. Billy Strings and a reissue of In Flames Whoracle are highlights for me, but I’m still stuck at airports so more on that later. erodingwinds.com/collections/...

Mega restock week begins. Receiving a massive shipment of posters and hundreds of new vinyl best sellers / essentials. Vinyl should be hitting the floor now. Posters this weekend!

A sick shopping day at one of my favorite record shops in the world. Sisters in Christ in New Orleans, run by my old friend Bryan Funck. Bought a whole grip of great stuff and can’t wait to visit again.

Damn I think I gotta keep this one on the personal shelf a while. White label promo on the black jazz label. From my buddy Jazz Jake’s collection. Rip my friend. I’ll take good care of it.

What a bunch of nerds! Kill Screen is looking forward to returning to Metal & Beer Fest in Denver this December (it’s our job, after all) to link up with plenty of familiar faces—and maybe some new ones? 👀 Get more info at ➡️ decibelmagazine.com/events/decibel-magazine-metal-beer-fest-denver/

Aaron Turner – #Sumac frontman and guest star on the new album from the mighty #PharaohOverlord – tells tQ what his parallel career in tattooing has taught him about humility and human connection Aaron Turner on the Philosophy of Tattooing buff.ly/DsG3Y78

My favorite ambient track right now is the ps5 profile selection screen.

SHIRT TIME. At long last we have a new design at both shops, the COSMIC CAT by our old friend Alysa Koepke (who many will remember from the Appleton Exclusive Company). We also have reprints of Azeta’s Electric Eye design.

Thanks to @erodingwinds.bsky.social !!!

Restock day! First big batch is CDs with the majority of the LPs showing up tomorrow.

We got a few of the RSD Charli record at the Oshkosh store today!

New on @ampwall.com The forthcoming collaboration, Alluvion, by Mizmor & Hell Two stalwarts of the Oregon metal scene join forces, releasing April 4 #OnAmpwall #NewOnAmpwall #BlackMetalSky #DoomMetalSky #MetalSky mizmorandhell.ampwall.com/album/alluvion

Mizmor, Hell "Alluvion" (Gilead Media)

Took a Saturday off from RSD prep to go to one of the greatest shows of all time.

Today we picked up one of the largest collections we’ve ever purchased. Unfortunately from a beloved customer that passed suddenly last year. A bitter sweet day indeed, but honored that Jake’s family has entrusted us to handle this collection. 3200ish jazz/funk/soul LPs and about 2500 45s.

Picked up a huge collection today and the sellers threw this in when we loaded up the records today. A 4x4 vintage promo posterboard. Very sick.

Anti bonus tracks/Anti demos

its autechin' time

New release day! CCR is one of my favorite bands and the new color reissues that match the artwork are real classy. Dax Riggs solo record! Lacuna Coil! Lumineers! Horsegirl! Tons more!

the year is 2027, the $113 you received in tips this year will not be taxed, you order a $105 egg using the “x” app on your teslaphone. later, you accidentally think about healthcare, the police kill you.

Always do a sports themed work party because it’s fun. Usually a summer cookout but got postponed so we did winter bowling. Great work squad +some beloved guests.

If we're gonna change the name at least make it something cool like gulf of alternative rock

Yall wanna guess what country prints an enormous amount of LP jackets for US releases?

Sick used vinyl drops at both shops today. Blogs on our website for the full lists. A huge array of goodies.

Epic trade-in last week. Gonna be hard to let this one go up for sale.

New release and reissue day RUSH 90s albums finally available again! DOOM madvillainy demos. WEEKND. Tons of good stuff.

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

See? Mountain Goats even agree. Apply this same mentality to music, especially when you’re at the record store.

I have a 2 day pass for Subterranean Dissonance fest in Philly next weekend if anyone wants it for cheap. Thou, Krallice, Agriculture, Secret Chiefs 3, Young Widows, Scarcity, etc.

Workin late doing a large used buy. These foil jacket reissues are sick.

Late night lifting jams unstoppable. DEMILICH.

Sick week for new releases and reissues. New Mogwai album is great with lots of krautrock vibes. Reissue of Cave In “Jupiter” which is a classic at this point. New Wardruna. Tons more. erodingwinds.com/blogs/news/n...

Today’s tiny landscape (chipped away at it intermittently for a few days). Hand for scale. Gouache on paper.

If you’re able to donate or share: Rich was many things, including an incredibly supportive force for music and art in NYC especially, and he was also a devoted father and husband. www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-...

Floored by this incredibly sad news. Rich was a great dude.

Guilty. Ditto for record shelves. I’m snooping on your spines.

MAY 30 - I’ll be opening for @officialkhanate at @thaliahallchicago

New release day at the record store. Street dates are finally picking up a bit now that January is moving along. Unreleased Mac album comes with a free poster!

fuck A.I. all my homies hate A.I.

I got to be friends with David Lynch when we were both at Universal years ago. A very kind man, he was a fan of Bob's Big Boy. So was I. I'm going to miss him. R.I.P. David.

Restock & new release receiving day and we went hard on the restocks this week.

Finally got some black bags. Had to do plastic since nobody is manufacturing large paper ones in black right now. But stoked on how these turned out.
