Enslaved - Vikingligr Veldi
all original DSL albums i have ever seen have "Dureco" and "Antimosh" as a part of the matrix. I have seen a few "Tocano" versions like Sigh, Mayhem -DMDS even 3rd and the Mortal early cds and i would say its same later press its not either a cheap copy or a first press for sure.

If its the Isengard jewel case version, it could be the 2nd version of the album. The first press does exist from Lethal records (jewel case) and then comes No colours (Digi and jewel case). Post the cd matrix if you want to cross check.

i have this, with the same matrix. I ve bought it from a 2nd hand store (not ebay) 5+ years ago.

expecially IFPI indicate a legit press but you can never be sure unless you have an image of the matrix to compare with one that is 100% sure to be orig. I have seen tawain-bootlegs of burzum cds with the "Dureco" and "Antimosh" part of the cd matrix and you can tell by the size of the fonts which is somewhat small.

As for bootlegs from greece 99% of them are made by the same person and you can always tell if you check the matrix.

@Geese only registered shipping from/to italy and even then its not 100% safe.
Whew thank you. Anyone know what the proper matrix for Autumn Tears Love Poems Act 1 is?

I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to bootleg this, surely not?

Indeed. And surely a bootleg of this is even rarer than the original! :D

I'm out of town currently, so I have no idea. I'm just appreciative of the transaction :).

This fucker needs to give it up already…

How many eBay accounts does he have?

At least change the item description if you want to trick a few people...

I saw him trying to sell a bootleg of Siren - Financial Suicide not to long ago as an original on another one of his eBay accounts...

He's had that Sentenced boot going for a few months now.

One of the members of another board I go to (may be a a member here, I don't know) knows the guy. Actually said once that he thought it was "funny" that this jackass rips "the fools" off.

:fuck: These guys sold me a bootleg Obeisance CD! Their guitarist told me himself that it's bootlegged. That makes me mad.
^^^This is a quote from a metal-archives user. Suddenly I'm not so sure the Graveland albums I bought are legit.

I highly doubt Graveland has ever been bootlegged! Post a picture of the CDs in question.

Does anyone have the matrix # for the legit version of Messiah Force- The Last Day? I think the bootleg has either no number or just the band's name, but I'm not sure.
Thanks for any info
