here's the beginnings of my tape collection. i still kick myself that i got rid of all my tapes from when i was a kid, although what reason did i really have to keep them? i dunno. more than anything, i wish i still had all of my weird all tapes.
ok, so here's what these are starting from pic 2. it's almost all metal or noise/tape loop stuff.
crown of cerberus -
as she wipes the blood away from my dying hand: tape loop, delay, and distortion. apparently the source material is from a pop star, but i'm not sure who. this is from a different tape, but a good representation of what this does:

essene -
demo: black metal from missouri. this is their first demo, and i bought based off of one song. there are only four, but i was not disappointed.

hellébore -
anouof thwo: more great black metal with an industrial edge because of the programmed drums out of québec.

mizmor (מזמור) -
viii orual: black/doom metal out of the pacific northwest.

phoenix diamond -
runimaka: drone coming out of texas. i thought i was to hate it being in the plastic bag, but it's actually kind of nice. love the artwork on this.

summoning -
lugburz &
stronghold: tolkien inspired black metal. they released another one of their albums on cassette at the same time as these, but i didn't have any luck tracking it down. until last night when i couldn't sleep and just spent a few hours scouring different places for random stuff. you can find plenty of their music on youtube.
triumvir foul -
an oath of blood and fire: death metal featuring members of ash borer.

wolves in the throne room -
live 9.12.11 at the bell house, nrooklyn, ny: this had some awesome packaging. from the distro: "The first #283 copies feature: Letter-pressed packaging wrapped in handmade sagebrush (Artemisia tridentata subsp.) paper shroud. Sage branch, jute string, and dark gold St. Roch Av. wax seal binding. Prayer of Transformation lyrics in golden letter-press (61 prime numbered copies) and black letter press (222 copies). Cassette cover is designed to be burned after opening." don't think i'm gonna burn it.
yersinia pestis -
finis gloriae mundi: more american black metal. it gets a bit sloppy at points, but i still thin it's a solid first showing.

frank zappa -
ship arriving too late to save a drowning witch: not even sure where this came from. i found it in a box when i was moving. a solid find.
i guess i figured i'd put the links in there in case anyone was bored and wanted to check some stuff out. feels kind of silly to talk about this stuff without at least providing some of the material. not sure how many people here are into this kind of stuff.
