After months and months of my (crappy) local Virgin has finally gotten rid of all the roadrunner CD's and is stocking up on Nuclear Blast stuff...

So from that i bought "The Art of Dying" and also the new(ish) Candlemass album today. Though im not sure but weren't the larger stores doing this already?

Thats a quality album, one of their best.

This is good news though, Nuclear Blast have had some quality releases.

In Flames aren't metalcore, just shite nowadays

cool, i'll check in tomorrow. Did you see The Sound of Perseverance?

Yes it is good to see a decent offer on again in Virgin. I noticed the other day and got Dimmu Borgir - Stormblast, Wintersun, Hammerfall - Crimson Thunder and Amorphis - Eclipse. Will be back for more next week

I'd probably sell that to you tbh.

Nuclear Blast used to keep sending me their magazine, and it was basically identical content with a different cover. I don't think they have much interesting stuff really.

On the bright side, it's free!

This pissed me off, I go in all excited because I figure there will be a good selection of stuff I want, and it turns out at least at my local virgin most of the less popular bands only have one CD. For Bal-Sagoth they only had The Chthonic Chronicles which pissed me off, I REALLY wanted a couple of their Nuclear Blast releases I haven't been able to get hold of.

Is it the same everywhere, or are some Virgin stores offering a better selection?

Virgin is shit altogether, get your CD's off hmv.co.uk, much cheaper

That's what you get for trying to buy Balls a Goth CDs.

Balls a goth that is probally the best comment you have come out with yet.

Yeah, it's just a shame he's been using it for months. Might even be able to take it to antiques roadshow soon along with his 'mean' internet persona.
