Special vinyl box set on sale this Friday.

Quote:

This Friday at 2pm EDT, we will begin taking orders for the brand new Bolt Thrower "Eternal War" 4xLP box set! Some of you may have already seen this lurking away in various Earache photos on social media, but for those of you who haven't, have a look at the image below!

Limited to just 100 copies, this box set contains one copy of each of the four FDR vinyl records on transparent vinyl, which is exclusive to this box set. "Realm Of Chaos", "War Master", "The IVth Crusade" and "For Victory" are here in all their glory. With three of these titles having already completely sold out, this could be your last chance to get these fantastic vinyl pressings outside of inflated eBay prices.

Furthermore, this box features previously unused Bolt Thrower artwork from way back in the day. This artwork was originally designed as an alternative album cover for "War Master", and has now been used for the first time ever to make this magnificent one-of-a-kind box set look as stunning as it possibly can.

This vinyl box set is strictly limited to ONE PER CUSTOMER!

I love you.

Wait...I actually have zero reason to get this, but kudos none the less.

Curious to know how much Earache gouges for this. Bet it sells out within 30 minutes.

Vinyl reissues seems to be Earaches big moneymaker these days. They've released a ton of stuff over the last few years. Most I have no interest in, but there's been a couple I considered picking up.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-7-2014 at 03:14 PM

yeah I got excited and realized it's shit I bought from earache already just in a bigger box. People are guessing it'll be in the $150+ range.

Bolt Thrower: Wallet Eater.

The other thing with me is I tend to get excited whenever Bolt Thrower's name comes up. I considered buying the individual reissues just to have larger versions of the artwork.

Yeah, I'm a dork.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-8-2014 at 09:38 AM

I'd get a lot more excited if their name came up in regards to a new album.

JawnDiablo - 10-8-2014 at 10:15 AM

yeah man.

Discipline - 10-8-2014 at 01:23 PM

So far it sounds like they don't plan to do another album.

i saw them a few weeks ago and they were the best metal band i saw for a long time. but, unfortunately they said no word about writing new songs.
and people went crazy for their merch. i never saw it before that people bought that much.

Me too. I wore mine until it fell apart.

Their merch always goes like that since the only place you can get it is through them at shows or via eBay from people who got it through them at shows.

They've said that they wanted to stop at what they felt was their perfect album. That they felt Those Once Loyal was just that and that there's no plans for a follow up. But they've been playing a LOT in Bolt Thrower terms the past couple years. At what point does it become like DRI where it becomes a lounge act...

Hopefully after another trip to the states at least lol.

Discipline - 10-10-2014 at 01:05 PM

DRI have said they are releasing a new e.p. at the beginning of next year. Hopefully this actually happens.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-10-2014 at 09:14 PM

Wow...almost continuous touring since 1995 with no new album and we're getting a whole ep!!

Discipline - 10-11-2014 at 06:46 AM

It better be worth the wait.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-11-2014 at 02:02 PM

Did anyone catch how much that box was going for? I forgot to look.

Discipline - 10-12-2014 at 11:36 AM

I don't know about the US store, but I saw a price of €129.99 on a UK forum. Way too much.

Jason the Magnificent - 10-12-2014 at 11:54 AM

Yeah I heard the same...don't know anyone that grabbed t in the US to compare. But yeah...way too much.

Discipline - 10-12-2014 at 07:05 PM

Four records with new artwork for one of them, because it's Bolt Thrower I might consider something in the range of $40-60. More that that, a big screaming FUCK NO!!!!!!

Jason the Magnificent - 10-13-2014 at 08:19 AM

I LOVE the new artwork for Realms of Chaos from that Earache reissue.
