Los Angeles, CA — July 27, 2026 — Thrash Metal IQ, the Los Angeles-based specialist in underground metal vinyl, memorabilia, and rare collectibles, has made available three of the most significant primary artifacts from the early Norwegian black metal scene ever offered publicly.
These pieces represent some of the scarcest material connected to the formative years of Norwegian black metal. Original handwritten documents and personal relics linked to Dead and the Mayhem/Burzum orbit almost never appear on the open market. Each item is offered with its accompanying documentation and is presented strictly as a historical collectible.

All three items are available now at thrashmetaliq.com/shop. Serious inquiries are welcome.
About Thrash Metal IQ: Thrash Metal IQ specializes in the buying and selling of underground metal collections, with a focus on black metal, death metal, thrash, and related rare pressings, reissues, and memorabilia. Based in the Los Angeles area, the company serves collectors worldwide.
Thrash Metal IQ is proud to announce the arrival of one of the most anticipated black metal reissues of 2026:
Grand Belial’s Key – Kosherat Weltenfeind – WFP024 2x Etched 20th Anniversary Edition LP. This double-vinyl set marks the 20th anniversary of Kosherat, the cult album that further cemented Grand Belial’s Key’s reputation for razor-sharp, misanthropic black metal laced with their signature sardonic edge and blasphemous venom. Long sought after by collectors, this special 2x black vinyl edition features a striking etched D-side.
Why This Edition Rules:
20th Anniversary pressing – properly done by Weltenfeind
2xLP format with etched designs on side D
Strictly limited run – these will sell out fast
Perfect addition for fans of NSBM & black metal purists,
If you’ve been waiting for a worthy vinyl pressing of Kosherat, this is it. The sound is vicious, the presentation is elite, and the availability is extremely limited.
In the video below, I go through a huge collection of over 800 racist NSBM, black, and death metal LPs that I bought for $9,000. This purchase nearly got me banned from eBay.
Like I usually do, I watched the videos and appraised the collection. After that, I asked the seller for an exact album count. At first, he thought he had about 1,000 albums, but after counting, he found there were just over 700.
He told me he had more albums he wasn’t including because they were so extreme that he thought no one would want them. At Thrash Metal IQ, we believe in free speech and don’t censor artists from any side. I said I’d be happy to buy them, so he added them to the deal.
After I listed these albums on eBay, I started running into problems. Usually, you can sell “banned on Discogs” stuff on eBay without much trouble. I managed to sell most of them, but it soon became clear that someone was reporting my listings.
What stood out was that they weren’t reporting the well-known sketchy bands. I started getting flagged for bands like Moontower, Volthana, and Grausamkeit, which are more obscure and harder for AI to catch. That’s when I realized someone was manually reporting me. After all my Grand Belial’s Key and Goatmoon albums got banned, I moved my more controversial releases to the Thrash Metal IQ store.
The Wait / Year Delay
Since many of the records in this collection were pretty new, I could buy a lot of them from distributorsfor almost the same price I paid him. I decided to hold onto the collection for a while. There were plenty of out-of-print gems, but I could still get many of these wholesale for about what I paid.
Before I knew it, a year had gone by. When I finally started listing the albums, many had sold out, and their prices had shot up. I didn’t make a fortune on this deal, but I did pretty well.

Do You Have A Collection Like This TO Sell?
No lowball offers, no haggling headaches. Just fair, fast offers from a fellow metalhead who actually respects the music.
Ebay has gone to war with NSBM (National Socialist Black Metal). I distribute a small number of titles, including Grand Belial’s Key for Weltenfeind Records. By and large, eBay has been allowing sales of various “NSBM” bands, such as Goatmoon, Grand Belial’s Key, and Vothana.
While eBay has always targeted certain bands like Burzum (because of Varg’s politics, not lyrical content), Absurd, and Der Sturmer, it has allowed sales of some bands that are less in-your-face or have no overt Nazi imagery.
That has all changed. Grand Belial’s Key is now persona non grata on eBay. Say what you like about the band’s politics, you can’t argue that the riffs aren’t divine! No wonder they are a top seller with so many black metal fans!
Screenshot
Ebay has either been taken over by Antifa or is running some type of AI that is going crazy flagging listings for anything further right than Creedence Clearwater Revival. An innocuous copy of Death In June was recently triggered by the “offensive music filter” as Nazi, even though it’s 80’s synth pop. I guess the little skull-and-crossbones cartoon on the cover was too much for it.
EBay’s Offensive Music Policy Specifics
Below is the verbiage of eBay’s offensive music policy:
A simple read of this would apply to all black/death metal and extreme metal bands, as religion is a common target for most extreme bands. Although nobody seems to get their feather ruffled when it is Christians who are being targeted.
It’s pretty clear that things will not get better from here. It won’t be long before bands with even tertiary associations with NSBM, like MGLA or Deathspell Omega, are on the out list.
Summary
Already Flagged / Removed by eBay
Grand Belial’s Key (GBK) — Primary focus; one of his top sellers for years. All listings suddenly pulled. Lyrics target Judaism (seen as crossing a line).
Graveland — 1992 demo (pagan/black metal, limited white vinyl). Not overtly NSBM
Death in June — Flagged quickly, possibly due to skull/crossbones imagery.
Moon Tower, Vulturno, and Darker than Black releases — Triggered complaints/flags.
Heavily Restricted
Burzum — Long-restricted (Varg’s history + church burnings policy). AI now detects artwork/logos.
Goatmoon — Some sketchy lyrics on certain albums; later works look more pagan but still at risk.
Obviously Avoided (Never Listed)
Der Stürmer — Too overtly Nazi; not even attempted on eBay.
eBay’s policies (hate content + crime-related) are hitting underground black metal hard, especially anything perceived as NSBM or anti-Jewish, while much of the broader black metal scene remains at risk.
What Are We Going To Do?
We are in the process of pulling all of our more controversial listings from Ebay and moving them to our online store. While this will be a lot of work, there are quite a few upsides:
No more censorship. We decide what we want to sell.
Our prices will be lower. Ebay takes 20% of our money. We will pass those savings on to you.
The same great free, fast shipping, and customer service at a lower price.

Our New Store is Open
It will take some time for our new store to be completely stocked. By no means do we intend for it just to be a clearinghouse for NSBM, but we have to start somewhere.
A few months ago, a collector in New Jersey hit me up about a small- to medium-sized black metal CD collection he was looking to sell. I asked him a basic question about it. He asked if I bought cassettes or other metal swag, which I do. He added some cassettes and black metal tapestries to what he was selling, and I added some money to the deal.
When it came to shipping, there was a small misunderstanding about how to use USPS Media Mail, so I gave him a quick call to walk him through it. During that phone call, it became obvious to me that the seller was Black. Of course, race doesn’t matter to me, but you’ll see how this plays into the story next.
It had been a bit of time since I fished the quote on this collection. When it arrived, I totally forgot how much NSBM was in it, including such “racist” bands as Goatmoon, Grand Belial’s Key, Clandestine Blaze, and others. I do not censor or “cancel” bands based on ideology and sell everything from the furthest left (Dead Kennedys, Aus Rotten) to the hardest of the right (Dark Fury, Der Sturmer).
Highlights From This Collection
There was a lot of great stuff in this collection, but here are some of the highlights.
Satanic Warmaster / Archgoat – Lux Satanae CD
Satanic Warmaster / Archgoat – Lux Satanae CD 2016 Hells Headbangers – HELLS130 – This split with Satanic Warmaster and Archgoat is easily one of the most sought-after black metal CDs released in the last ten years. I’m not sure why Hell’s Headbangers hasn’t repressed/reissued this release, since they could be selling thousands of these things. The limited quantity works for me because it caused aftermarket prices to skyrocket.
Value = $100
Immortal – Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism CD
Immortal – Diabolical Fullmoon Mysticism CD 1992 Osmose OPCD 007 [1st Press] *FR – This CD has been reissued many times, and most pressings aren’t worth that much. In light of how big Immortal would eventually become in the black metal world, first pressings are worth a bunch. The disc itself contains “Made in Germany” and “GEMA” markings, which are not present on any other pressings. The 5th track is misspelled on the disc and back cover (“Cold Winds Of Feneral Dust”). In the booklet, the printed title is the correct one (Cold Winds Of Funeral Dust).
Value = $70
Cephalotripsy – Epigenetic Neurogenesis CD
Cephalotripsy – Epigenetic Neurogenesis CD 2024 Self-Released [Rare] – Pictured is the first pressing of this release. The second press in the Japanese issue. According to the band, it is limited to 500 copies. While this is a very recent release, it’s already worth money due to its limited quantity.
Value = $63
Death – Scream Bloody Gore CD
Death – Scream Bloody Gore CD 1987 Combat – 88561-8146-2 [2ND PRESS] – There are two pressings from 1987. The second press (pictured above) has a tracklist laid out with no “Side 1/Side 2”. The actual first pressing has a track listing laid out like the vinyl (pictured below). Both are from 1987.
Value = $63
Goatmoon – Stella Polaris CD
Goatmoon – Stella Polaris CD 2017 Werewolf Records – EVIL-039 [1st Press Etched] – First pressing with etched CD case. Subsequent pressings do not include etching.
Value = $50
Abysmal Lord -Disciples of the Inferno CD
Abysmal Lord -Disciples of the Inferno CD 2015 Hells Headbangers – hells 165 – This is another recent release. Because Hell’s Headbangers never reissues anything, the aftermarket prices are through the roof.
Check out the video below to see one of my best finds ever. I picked up a collection of more than 2,300 super-rare black and death metal CDs from a collector in Oregon.
A few months ago, the seller got in touch and sent me photos of over 2,000 CDs he had collected. The pictures gave me a good idea of the music styles and years. About 80% of it was black metal from the late 1990s to around 2012. Some of the labels were JBL America, No Fashion, Head Not Hound, Osmose, and No Colours, among others. There were virtually no major-label releases of stuff like Van Halen, System of a Down, or Iron Maiden. From his description, I could tell he had some great stuff, so I offered $8,000 to buy the collection, and he agreed.
I left Los Angeles around 10 PM the night before, drove up to Lodi, and checked into a hotel. Lodi seems like a small, quiet town, but there are quite a few homeless people and drug users around. I was a little worried that my truck might get broken into.
The next morning, we met near the interstate. We chatted for a few minutes, and I took a quick look through the CDs in the bins. I agreed to pay him and sent the money through Venmo, since we weren’t doing the deal by mail. We didn’t have to worry about PayPal’s buyer protection because we were handling everything in person.
I didn’t get a chance to look through the CDs until I got home, and was amazed by how many rare albums I found. There were lots of first pressings from Mayhem, Burzum, Darkthrone, and plenty of other lesser-known bands that are just as valuable.
You’ll notice there was also a fair amount of NSBM in the collection. I don’t get too worked up about black metal bands with extreme views. I believe in free speech and carry releases from all sides, from the far left to the far right. Honestly, when you listen to a black metal CD, you usually can’t make out the lyrics, and you wouldn’t know if it was NSBM or a Christian band unless you already knew the band.
The collection was so big that I couldn’t fit everything into one video for my YouTube channel, so I split it into two parts. I still haven’t had time to go through everything, and have about half left to sort through.
The Highlights
There was a ton of amazing stuff in this haul. Here are some of the highlights.
Burzum – Aske CD
Burzum – Aske CD 1993, Deathlike Silence Productions – anti-mosh 005 – This CD was in the collection and in perfect condition. It is easily the most valuable CD I’ve ever acquired. Pictured above is a first pressing of Burzum’s “Aske” on DeathLike Silence Records from 1995. The runout matrix on the back of the disc is correct (DURECO [01] ANTIMOSH CD 5.
Value $1000
Enslaved – Vikingligr Veldi CD
Enslaved – VikValue $1000ingligr Veldi CD 1994 Deathlike Silence Anti Mosh 008 – Here is another big one also on Deathlike Silence records. The real first pressings of the CD are virtually identical to the represses. However, the first pressings do not include a barcode (pictured above).
Value $250
Old Man’s Child – Born Of The Flickering CD
Old Man’s Child – Born Of The Flickering CD 1996 Hot Records – SHAGRATH 003 – The debut album by the newly reformed Old Man’s Child on the now-defunct Hot Records is extremely rare. Born of the Flickering has been repressed and reissued many times, but the originals fetch a pretty penny.
Value $200
Dimmu Borgir – For All Tid CD
Dimmu Borgir – For All Tid CD 1995 No Colours Records NC 003 – “For All Tid” is Dimmu Borgir’s debut album and has been repressed 1 million times by a host of different record labels. The original German No Colours release is the one you want, goes for a ton, and doesn’t sit on the shelf for long.
Value $150
Under a Funeral Moon – Darkthrone CD
Under a Funeral Moon – Darkthrone CD 1993 Peaceville – Vile 35CD [1st Press] *UK – another CD that has 1 million different versions, the most valuable of which is the first UK pressing. You can tell by the back cover pictured above.
Value $150
Darkthrone – Transilvanian Hunger CD
Darkthrone – Transilvanian Hunger CD 1994 Fierce Recordings – 9086-11060-2 – first pressing US contained the now infamous phrase “Norsk Arisk Black Metal” which translates from Norwegian into “pure Aryan black metal”. This caused some controversy and was removed on subsequent pressings. The band claimed it had nothing to do with far-right politics and that it was simply “pure black metal”.
Obtained Enslavement – Centuries of Sorrow CD 1994 Likstøy Music – oe 941 – This band is fairly obscure. This release hasn’t been reissued many times, but what makes it so valuable is that the originals are nearly impossible to find.
Value $125
Gris – Il Était Une Forêt… CD
Gris – Il Était Une Forêt… CD 2007 Sepulchral Productions – SP008 – This depressive black metal gem from Canada will put a nice hole in your bank account.
Value $100
Gorgoroth – Pentagram CD
Gorgoroth – Pentagram CD 1994 Wild Rags Records – WRR 061 [1st Press US]– Wild Rags Records was an iconic Southern California record store and label that released a great number of important underground releases in the 1990s. It has subsequently gone out of business. Many of the bands on Wild Rags roster went on to do huge things.
Mayhem – Deathcrush CD
Mayhem – Deathcrush CD 1994 Deathlike Silence – DSP Anti-Mosh 003 [1st Press] – this debut by Mayhem has over 100 different versions, many of which are hard to distinguish. The first pressing is the one shown above from Deathlike Silence Records. You can recognize it because it does not have a barcode, while many of the early all-DLS repressings, including some from that same year, do.
As we do each year, we are publishing our list of top selling new albums . These are new albums that we purchase from labels and distributors. We do not gatekeep, cancel, or deplatform anyone’s point of view from the furthest left to the far right. There are some controversial titles in this year’s list. We have no dog in this fight; this is just what sells. Because all albums we purchase in collections we buy are technically “one-offs,” they are not included in this list.
Grand Belial’s Key – Judeobeast Assassination CD 2026 Weltenfeind – WFP022
Goatmoon – Finnish Steel Storm CD 2018 Werewolf Records – EVIL009 [SEALED] *FN
Cannibal Corpse – Eaten Back To Life CD 2017 Metal Blade 3984-14425-2
There were a couple of stand-out things about this collection.
Rare Unofficial Iron Maiden CDs
The first was a crazy selection of sealed Iron Maiden bootlegs. Ten CDs recorded from the Legacy of The Beast Tour 2019 in various cities were sealed, and some very impressive artwork included that I could have sworn was painted by Derek Riggs himself.
Unfortunately, these Iron Maiden CDs are unofficial and can’t be sold in my eBay store, but you can pick them up from me directly if you contact me. I will give you a great deal on the whole lot.
Rare Blackmoon Records Black Metal CD
Next up is the extremely rare Blackmoon Records from Poland. Like the Iron Maiden, all of these CDs are technically “unofficial,” but you can get away with selling these on eBay because of bands like Horna, Moonblood, and Sargeist. One interesting thing about Moonblood is that even though they are a legendary black metal band, everything they released until 2014 was a bootleg of demo recordings.
When I was a kid, my parents only listened to very lame music like Barbra Streisand. Props to this guy for listening to some very based black metal and killer Iron Maiden. While it is very sad that this true metal warrior has moved on to Valhalla, his music will live on.
Do You Have A Collection Like This To Sell?
I am always looking to buy collections like this, no matter where you are in the Uniited States or the world.
The self-titled Bathory LP (Bathory – Bathory LP 1984 Black Mark Production – BMLP 666-1) with the “yellow goat” album cover is considered one of the “holy grail” scores for heavy and black metal record collectors the globe over. But, unfortunately, it is also one of the most counterfeited records out there because of its value. So let’s find out how not to get fooled into buying a fake, or if you don’t have thousands to spend — what a replica is worth.
Why Is This Album So Valuable?
The first album from Bathory is a landmark album from the metal genre. While it sounds recorded in a garage, it became the template for countless black metal bands afterward. The first thousand copies were pressed independently on Quarthon’s Black Mark Productions with a gold-colored goat on the front cover before being picked up by Combat and Under One Flag for broader distribution. The first press with a yellow goat can fetch $5,000 or some for an authentic copy.
FUN FACT: The original goat was supposed to be gold, but due do budget issues, the fledgling Black Mark Productionslabel had to settle for yellow.
How To Spot A Fake Bathory Album
The iconic artwork for this album is very simple. Therefore there are some very convincing knockoffs available in various markets. Listed below are the main things to be looking for:
Examine the dead wax or the “runout matrix” on the album. It is the engraving in the vinyl after the playing surface. The engraving in a real copy should read as follows on Side A (“Darkness”): 840905GP with BMLP 666 1 A PD-CR Pentagram image] [666 image in pyramid shape] and then on Side B will have this etching 840905GP BMLP 666 1 B PD-CR [Cross image]
The most prolific bootlegs came out in Europe in the mid-1990s. The most common runouts are 666-1, or you may see some copies with nothing in the dead wax at all.
Most of the original pressings came with a printed inner sleeve. However, these can also be faked. Also, some authentic copies may be short an inner sleeve if the original owner lost it.
If the album looks “too new” you should look more carefully. Remember that this album came out in 1984 and is 37 years old at this point. You should expect to see some wear.
If the color looks “wrong”, it is likely a fake. This is a common problem among cheap bootlegs.
Marketplace Safety
Despite how rare this album is and eBay’s policy to not allow the sale of counterfeit albums, there always seem to be 2-3 copies available for $2200-$2500 at any given time. Most likely, they are not authentic, but here is how you stay safe if you want to spend big money.
Contact the seller and inquire about the runoutmatrix. If they don’t respond or refuse to provide it, you should hard pass. You can also request they provide pictures, though they can be difficult to see.
Whether on Discogs or eBay, look for a reputable seller that has many reviews and a lot of items for sale — not someone who could pack up and disappear overnight.
If the seller does not accept returns, you should not buy from them.
Album Artwork
As I said, this iconic album artwork is quite basic. Here are some pictures from one of the common European bootleg pressings. Notice how tough it is to tell if it is fake or authentic.
How Much Is A Yellow Goat Bootleg Worth?
If you want to have a yellow goat Bathory, but don’t feel like forking out two grand, it is totally understandable. If you can get past the moral dilemma of not paying the Quarthon estate, you can get replica copies for 50 bucks, sometimes less.
This list is compiled from CDs acquired while buying metal CD collections in the year 2020. It is by no means a comprehensive list of every metal CD out there; these are just ones we have first-hand experience with. The values we had assigned are based on what we have sold them for and are not an aggregate.
1. Urn – 666 Megatons CD 2006 No Sign Of Life – NSOL001
Urn – 666 Megatons CD 2006 No Sign Of Life – NSOL00 – the special edition from this Finish thrash/black metal band that includes the DVD is RARE. Urn was a cool proto-Black Metal sound similar to “Show NoMercy” era Slayer – the full edition, which includes a live DVD, is almost impossible to find and goes for north of 100 bucks on a regular basis.
Sold 10/1 $159.00
2. The Black – The Priest Of Satan CD 1994 Necropolis Records NR 003
The Black – The Priest Of Satan CD 1994 Necropolis Records NR 003 – This CD has been re-issued several times, including more recently on Osmose Productions – if you can find the original on Necropolis Records, it can be worth a pretty penny.
Sold 9/11 $99.95
3. Swans – Swans Are Dead CD 1998 Young God Records – YG03
Swans – Swans Are Dead CD 1998 Young God Records – YG03 – Although The Swans are not technically a metal band, it is quite common to see their brand of gothic rock turning up in the collections we buy. The original pressing of their CDs is very hard to come by, and reissues aren’t that common either, making almost every CD in their catalog quite valuable.
Sold 8/8 – $79.95
4. Ingested – The Surreption CD 2012 Siege of Amida Records
Ingested – The Surreption CD 2012 Siege of Amida Records – I will be honest: when I first saw this one, I thought it might be a fluke, but upon some investigation, copies of those are really scarce and sell for north of $100 on Discogs on a monthly basis. It is also worth noting that Ingested sounds like a $99 per CD band; they play some ridiculously tight technical death metal and are one of my new favorites.
Sold 12/29 – $99.95
5. Xibalba – Ah Dzam Poop Ek CD 2005 Guttural Records – CDGR002
Xibalba – Ah Dzam Poop Ek CD 2005 Guttural Records – CDGR002 Mexico – the original pricing from Mexico only lists eight tracks; there are later reissues, but if you can find the first one, it is quite valuable.
Sold 7/11 – $74.99
6. Baphomet – Death In The Beginning CD 2012 Sevared Records – SR-216 $74.95
Baphomet – Death In The Beginning CD 2012 Sevared Records – SR-216 – Includes the advance tape from 1990. Many songs were subsequently renamed, including the “Boiled in Blood” live 7″ as a bonus.
Sold 9/10 – $74.95
7. Devourment – Molesting The Decapitated CD 1999 United Guttural UGR 005
Devourment – Molesting The Decapitated CD 1999 United Guttural UGR 005 – I was actually surprised that this one didn’t sell for more; this is the original version of this death metal classic from this brutal Texas-based outfit. Beware, there are many bootlegs floating around of this release.
Sold 8/9 $74.95
8. Suffocation – Effigy of the Forgotten/Pierced from Within CD 2003 Roadrunner
Suffocation – Effigy of the Forgotten/Pierced from Within 2x CD 2003 Roadrunner (2 From The Vault Series) – almost all of the CDs from Roadrunner’s discontinued “2 From The Vault” series fetch a pretty penny. Some other big ones to look for are Obituary and Exhorder.
Sold 7/7 – $74.95
9. Ancient Wisdom – For Snow Covered The Northland CD 1996 Avantgarde Music
Ancient Wisdom – For Snow Covered The Northland CD 1996 Avantgarde Music – This CD from an obscure but extremely talented Italian progressive black metal band is extremely hard to find, not to mention the music is amazing. These guys should’ve been much bigger!
Sold 6/6/ – $69.95
10. Amebix – No Sanctuary: The Spiderleg Recordings CD 2008 Revolver USA
Amebix – No Sanctuary: The Spiderleg Recordings CD [Digipak] 2008 Revolver USA – Although this one might fall more into the crust punk genre, Ambix is still quite popular among the metal crown.
