The shirt was ordered direct from Profound Lore Records. At the back it shows dates for the US mini-tour with PENTAGRAM.
The LP Set on the Left is the 'Lavish Edition' of "Time Of No Time Evermore":
- handmade, heavy, clothbound packaging with golden hotfoil print
- booklet with lyrics
- poster
- patch
- cd listening copy
And on the Right is the 'Lavish Edition' of "The Thousandfold Epicentre":
- three panel hardcover 2LP edition
- golden hotfoil embossing on thick, black cartonstock
- amber coloured vinyl
- 36 page full coloured booklet (12" sized) with lyrics, illustrations and additional notes
- poster
- CD listening copy
- limited edition
Both obtained from Van Records direct, shared shipping costs with a friend.
Thanks! Yes, the lavish editions are really expensive, but trust me it's worth the cash! It's best to find a friend who wants to buy stuff from Van Records too so you can combine your orders and share the shipping costs. It does save you some dough.
I only like the Die The Death one. It's a bit newer. You're right, though. The designs are overall, boring. With it being TDB especially, the designs could have been spectacular.
my exact thoughts! the new merch doesn't look "coherent", if you know what I mean. with the whole concept, the artwork etc, they could've done a whole lot more.

Great collection. I'm planning on buying the LPs and a tee from Van Records but the LPs are costly as is shipping. Saving money up for the bundle.

Too bad I have no metalhead friends. They're all Christian, too so occult rock is out of the question. :(

Staying somewhere along the Bible Belt states? :P I'm sure you can make some neat new Metal friends at concerts who order stuff online! :)

I go to a Christian university in the Bible Belt. Only 'cause I got a full scholarship, though.

Because you play football?

No, it's academic-based for the honors college.

Meaning you had good grades in high school?
ErichZann on
Yes, means I did well in high school.

The tees at Van aren't that great though...I honestly thought they could have come up with better designs.
