Allow me to present a scenario: You like to collect vinyl records of the heavy-metal persuasion. You like your vinyl records to be thick and gorgeous and colored/splattered/haze’d. You like your vinyl limited and, if possible, to originate in a country outside of the United States. All of these requirements are perfectly logical, and will be fulfilled by Blood Music’s latest release, up for pre-order RIGHT NOW (one is a 2xLP, the other is a single LP).
The only problem, and I admit it’s a hum-diddily-inger, is that you, the consumer, can’t know the name of the album OR EVEN THE ARTIST RELEASING IT! That’s right, Blood Music are pulling the old dick-in-a-box trick, minus the part wherein you know that inside the box there’s a dick. Are they insane? No, they’re trying something new. You used to try new things; remember that jacket with the 8-ball sewn into the back? At this point I should also mention Blood Music has a prim, proper release up for pre-order today courtesy of the mighty (I assume they’re mighty; most of the bands BM issue are as much a mystery to me as the mystery release, which I love) Negură Bunget, so if mystery isn’t your thing, you have a place to deposit your money-spunk.
