I know, that song goes crazy, I was having fun driving with that song the other day. I was hoping they would make CDs for that compilation and they finally did yay

Also I love Femtanyl ≽ܫ≼

You don't even need to know the Gloryhammer lore to enjoy it (ok maybe a little but still)


Perhaps you'll enjoy this one too

Also gloryhammer is 🔥

I was never a fan of those "thin sleeve" cases for CDs. Somehow they just feel cheap compared to full case. That red dye on the data side is really nice tho. I can't imagine how much time (and cost) it took to find a place that would do smth like this

Yeah, digipaks are gay, seems like only Japanese record companies do jewel cases these days, the design of the digipak and disk are so kino though and I love the extra love Aloecity puts in on their releases such as the red disk, an extra cost for them but adds so much more character.

I bought some CDs for my mom for christmas and 2/3 came in jewel cases. Also most CDs I bought on bandcamp were full case. My only idea is that digipaks are a bit cheaper and then seller / artist can splash out on stuff like red colored disc or some extra paper wrap.

With so many units I bet that even slightest change in order can greatly affect the final price. So they gotta struck that price/wow factor balance

The Macroblank album I got was only 100 units which kinda explains how they can afford to do so, not to mention the rather premium price for album and questionable shipping, no way it costs $7 to ship I reckon its part of the price, not bothered though as Macroblank stuff is always worth more on secondary markets due to the exclusivity of the physicals that are almost always small unit numbers and sell out in minutes.

If it was shipped from USA then yeee it's a lil cheap. Tho I went through order process and it showed me 15$ shipping to Poland. Which IMO is quite realistic given all of the wacky "muh import muh euro vat" shit.

100 units of such a popular CD is a nasty tactic. I understand that they don't want to have any overstock, but such low quantity creates FOMO and fake scarsity. From what I see they release physical stuff almost weekly, so it's not like they don't have some deal with manufacturing plant

I'm UK and still got $7 despite it literally shipping from Britain and being a lightweight CD, something definitely fishy going on with that but in the end Aloecity are the only ones producing Macroblank physicals atm so very little choice in the matter

It's more the consumers who buy it fault, they like owning stuff no one else has and thr scarsity makes it more desirable for them to buy, and tbh its a win-win on both ends: the seller has less overstock they have to find a way to sell on for profit and the buyer has something that little else have making it more valuable for him. The business tactic works love or hate it.
