I've never gotten into many Latin-South American bands, but the Kraken singles are pretty good indeed. I'm pretty sure both singles were u/l here before, not sure if the link is still active. I'd re-up them but my connection speed is terrible currently.
Like both the singles; currently checking out the 1st LP that was just posted (thanks again!)

I have checked it out too and it slays! Now, how much is a reasonable price one should expect to pay for this on vinyl?

I don't think the sound of the singles are that different to the debut LP to be honest. You can hear it's a different recording, sure, but after that it's "poteyto/potahto"..

I actually put on the 2 first KRAKEN lp's for the first time in a while some days ago before even seeing this thread and I must say I was a bit disappointed with the debut. I couldn't quite conjure up the same awe as when I first discovered the band to be honest. It's a very even, solid album and all, but imo [insert random forgotten 1-off Mausoleum/Ebony/Bonebreaker/etc.. act] beat them at their own game. "KRAKEN II" on the other hand - while maybe a bit more uneven - clearly delivers some of the band's most outstanding songs. I'd say "II" is the KRAKEN lp to get when in doubt.

..And for the record I think The Venuzuelan Holy Trinity (RESISTENCIA/ARKANGEL/GILLMAN) plays in a completely different league than Kraken.
