Who was the seller and what was the price for it, Ben?
Just came from Thrash Assault metal market, again with awfully bad selection of rare / collectable CDs, and it's getting worse and worse, so I picked
Crillson - Coming of a New Age bootleg LP 142/330
The Art of the Legendary Tishvaisings - Catharsis CD
Asmodis - Fahr zur Holle Pfleischmutze CD
Both CDs with extremely ugly cover arts, and I found Asmodis in gothic/doom section, while the internet says it's thrash, so I don't really know what to expect
If I had known the guy running the auction was gonna have a shill-bidder I would never have bid on it in the first place! Completely took away my enjoyment of winning the damn thing...

The seller of Carbide was 123dirk789. I got it for 14.50 Euros. I'm pretty sure he had a shill-bidder though. The 2nd place guy bid several times and eventually outbid me. Right after he did, he retracted the high bid. That shit pisses me off!
As for Asmodis, it is definitely thrash (I got a copy of it about a year or two ago). Pretty good, though some songs drag a bit as they are slightly to long. Not bad overall, though.

Fine thanks!
I always find it hard to describe music. Still I guess they have a quite typical late seventies swedish rock sound somewhere between rock and hard rock. The guitar solos are really good (according to my personal taste, not some technical analysis) - hinting at a rockier nwobhm direction. The vocals has no hard rock edge at all but are quite pleasant anyway. The overall sound - or "feel" strangely enough gives me a feeling of what Drifter or Burning Ambition would have sounded like if they were included on The Soundhouse Tapes...
And how about this for poetic integrity:
Angelika:
"Rock'n'Roll är kraft - Ger oss energi
Discobögen har en tragisk filosofi"
(translates something like this:
"Rock'n'Roll is power - Gives us energy
The Disco Fag has a tragic philosophy")
