I haven't really thought about it in detail. I might do the pic disks separately since many people hate them so much. haha

I personally don't mind picture discs. I even prefer picture discs than colored vinyl for the die hard versions.

I hate playing picture discs, and I like playing my vinyls, so yeah, I usually don't care for picture discs. Colored vinyl is cool, but plain black never hurts either.

Picture discs usually don't sound as good as regular vinyls, but I love them anyway. YK, pic versions of the Nifelheim's are a must !!!

Wink

Besides that, the pressing quality of pic discs is amazing these days, so
there's almost no difference in their sound compared to black vinyls IMO...

Word! For instance, I compared the sound of my Ares Kingdom pic LP to the sound of a friend's regular vinyl, and we didn't hear any difference. Same goes for the pic LP / black LP of Blasphemy's "FAOD"... I also compared my Watain first (black wax) LP to the pic disc version of Apocalyptor, no difference either... And the list goes on... I fucking like picture discs when they come in regular jacket etc. like "normal" vinyls, and I play all of my pic LPs. NIFELHEIM ON PIC DISC!!!!! haha.

There is a difference in sound, but it's mostly just surface noise that I can ignore at high volume. I don't listen to sensitive music that requires the best audio equipment anyway.

And when those noises mix with the sound of distorted guitars, everything sounds better !

That's why analog sounds "hot" and digital sounds "cold"... There's a
"blur" in the sound when you play a record or a tape in analog systems.... But that's another subject.

i really like how you did the Rites Of Thy Degringolade LPs. the colored die hard, pic, and black. maybe you could do Nifelheim like that?

i wanna know how they make picture disks Cool

It's like a sandwich with one lettuce leaf ( b side ) under the hambuger and another leaf ( a side ) over the hamburger.... everything is pressed and the bread would be the transparent vinyl ( where the music is etched ).

The "hamburger" is a round plastic piece where the printed images are pasted, then the transparent wax is pressed over both sides.

Every part of the Pic Disc is made of special material ( plastic and paper ).

Sorry for the fast-food comparation...The reason is I'm a little bit hungry now....
