This evening as I entered my house from a long day at work, my heart skipped a beat as I saw a vinyl shaped parcel waiting for me. The parcel was market "from Secret Santa", so I could barely contain myself to tear it open. I managed to collect myself though, and snap an obligatory pic of the parcel first. By the blurriness of the picture, you can tell my heart wasn't really into it. Just wanted to know what was inside, and I wanted to know it quick! So after a hastily performed photo-shoot, I cut it open, and much to my pleasure I immediately recognized the cover of Zoroaster's 'Voice of Saturn'. I'm a big fan of really heavy music. Plain heavy metal is just not heavy enough. Enter Zoroaster... These guys play a mean and trippy kind of sludge doom. They are truly heavy as balls. I absolutely love that band, and own several of their cd's. However, my love for the band hadn't spilled over into my record collection. Up till now that is. :) I'm really thrilled to be able to add a classic Zoroaster album to my vinyl collection.

When I checked the condition of the record, I was in for a second surprise! The record is not the plain black version, but the limited edition yellow vinyl with black bleed. In soddin' mint condition, my friends!

My secret santa really hit the mark here. Even though he or she was out of his or her comfort zone, it was absolutely bang on. Thank you very much! I absolutely love my gift. And I'm not saying this just to be a thankful giftee, I am really and absolutely very grateful for this excellent record by this superb band in excellent condition. THANKS!
