Virgin selling Nuclear Blast CD's

Postby TORSO on Fri Mar 02, 2007 3:38 pm

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.

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 :dance:

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

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.
