Point me to some good distros please

[spaffe]

Could someone recomend me some nice distros? Since THR has closed down its distro section, Sweden (to my knowledge) currently lacks a really good one.

Btw, I'd prefer american ones since the dollar still is pretty cheap.

http://www.stonerrock.com/ is my current favorite, they are sorta limited to stoner and doom though.

http://www.aquariusrecords.org/ is good too, their album descriptions are more in depth than most reviews i've read.

http://www.gemm.com/ you can find all kinds of distros here, complete with ratings. careful with shipping though, some of these dudes will charge $5 to ship one CD and won't tell you until it's too late. :Smug:

why did THR close anyhow? that dude ruled.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find anything of interest there. Autumn's here so I'm in a mood for some grim black metal/dark music in general hehe

I don't really know why he closed down, but if I'd were to venture a guess I'd say that the distro took too much time and that he wanted to focus on the label bit (though it beats me why; the stuff he releaes seems to be of the generic BM kind exclusivly)

damn, i bet Footbalm is pissed eh?

 

[Hell Mike]

Thanks fellas

 

[Dev]

http://www.equilibriummusic.com is pretty good too (folk/ambient/++...)

 

[spaffe]

Thanks once more, but how about some really small underground distros? I seem to remember deathgasm or something like that being mentioned

Deathgasm is really good. Most CDs they have are $10 or less and the shipping isn't asking too much. For Europe it's $4 for the first and $2 for each extra item, but averaging that out it isn't bad, especially with the weak dollar.

[MadeInNewJersey]

www.blackmetal.com should be added.

Jeff, what was that one you guys used to get Morrigan records from?

I was happy enough the one time I ordered from them. Their catalogue is fucking huge.

Ali should sticky this thread, not only is it a good resource since we all buy far too much music, but maybe we could use it to tell experiences - good & bad - and make recommendations.

I mainly use these, not american though, I hate to deal with US because of the customs:
