The video below features a collection of approximately 1,200 CDs and over 400 vinyl albums that I recently purchased from a man in Pomona, whose brother had recently passed away.
The standout thing about this collection was its exceptional condition. Many of the records and CDs were brand new and still factory sealed. The records opened were NM/NM and placed in collector’s sleeves. The seller’s brother kept everything, from the download cards to the original hype stickers. He was clearly a man who was a serious collector and believed in keeping all his items in impeccable condition. Condition is essential to the value of records and CDs.
Additionally, another notable feature of this collection is that it contained almost no mainstream metal artists, such as Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, or Van Halen. It consisted almost exclusively of underground death and black metal. Most of the records were from 2016 and later. Some of the albums were duplicate copies of the same title, but with every color variant, which is pretty cool. The CDs began around 2005, with a few exceptions from the late 1990s, and continued up to releases from this year.
I met the seller in his garage in Pomona, where he had the records and CDs out in boxes. I spent about 45 minutes reviewing them and offered the man $ 7,000 for the collection. He gladly accepted. He was shocked at the amount of money I proposed. I could have provided less, but that was what it was worth. I’m not trying to take advantage of this delicate situation.
Heavy Metal Is Not A Passing Phase!
Unfortunately, I often find collections for sale from grieving family members and friends who have just inherited them. Because underground extreme metal is frequently misunderstood, trying to figure out what to do with a massive collection can be a complex and challenging process with a steep learning curve.
Many people’s parents may have told them when they were teenagers, “Heavy metal was just a passing phase”. Now that the music has been around for over 50 years, hardcore fans hold on to their collections for life and often take them to their graves.
Here is a quick list of some of the best stuff from this haul.
Weakling – Dead As Dreams CD
Weakling – Dead As Dreams CD 1999 tUMULt – tm 17 – This CD is a rare “holy grail” for black metal collectors. “Dead As Dreams” was the only release from San Fransico’s Weakling before they disbanded in 2000.
Value = $250
Insomnium – Above the Weeping World LP
Insomnium – Above the Weeping World LP 2018 Candlelight – CANDLE753571 [Orange] – This is a limited run reissue of 2006’s “Above The Weeping World” is sold out and out-of-print. It’s already worth a bunch. What makes this more special, is it’s factory sealed!
Value = $200
Celtic Frost – Monotheist LP
Celtic Frost – Monotheist LP 2016 Century Media [1st Press LTD 500 2x WHITE] – “Montheist” is perhaps the greatest heavy-metal comeback of all time. Pictured is a limited first, pressing on white vinyl, nearly impossible to find.
Value = $200
Panopticon – Autumn Eternal LP
Panopticon – Autumn Eternal LP 2016 Nordvis Produktion – NVP034LP – An unlikely fusion of bluegrass and black metal combined with a limited run color scheme makes this album a rare and expensive find.
Value = $150
Machine Head – The Blackening LP
Machine Head – The Blackening LP 2024 Nuclear Blast [2x Ghostly Black] [New] – Originals of this album are so expensive, you may need to pawn vital organ to get one. What is worse, is the re-issues aren’t that much cheaper either.
This week, we have a celebrity update of sorts. The metal CD collection featured in this video was purchased from London May, who is the drummer for Samhain. He played on the last three Samhain albums, including the live album, as well as the Danzig demos, and for Tiger Army. In the video below, you can see a walk-through of the Collection, the first time I went through it.
I drove to Silver Lake to pick this up. I paid $2,000 for this collection, which I thought was a little high at the time, but after going through it, there was plenty of good stuff to justify the price tag. London was a super nice guy and we chatted about several topics, including some of the idiosyncrasies of Glenn Danzig. Glenn hates Erie von so much that he would rather lose millions to bootleggers than re-issue the albums he played on, which sounds pretty backward, but it is what it is.
The collection was a mix of death metal, a lot of hipster stuff from labels like Hydra Head, punk, some rap, and alternative. There were also some box sets in a bunch of 7” singles.
Top CD Title Rundown
Below are some of the standouts from the collection.
A.C. / Anal Cunt – It Just Gets Worse CD
A.C. / Anal Cunt – It Just Gets Worse CD 1999 Earache – MOSH 195CD – The album that finally got the band dropped from the incredibly permissive Earache Records. With song titles like “Don’t Blame Me I Voted for Hitler” you can see why.
Value = $80
Leviathan – Verräter CD
Leviathan – Verräter CD 2002 tUMULt – tm88 [2 Discs] – Repressed in 2006, the 2002 double disc version is quite a score.
Value = $70
Cattle Decapitation – Homovore CD
Cattle Decapitation – Homovore CD 2000 Three One G – THREE ONE G #14 [Original] – The original indie Three One G release is pure death metal grindcore that predates the band’s long tenure on Metal’s Blade’s roster.
Value = $70
A.C./Anal Cunt – Defenders of the Hate CD
A.C./Anal Cunt – Defenders of the Hate CD 2007 Menace To Sobriety Records MTS017 – This album picks on the band’s world famous offensive lyrics where “I Just Gets Worse” left off. Check out “Even Though Your Culture Oppresses Women You Still Suck You Towelhead” if you don’t believe me.
Value = $70
Do You Have A Metal Collection Like This To Sell?
Contact me here or at the info below, and let’s make a deal.
This is the second video that I did not publish for a few weeks after the last post because of the YouTube algorithm. There was supposed to be a third video, but it got corrupted on my phone.
We are late in publishing this list as we did our top-selling albums from last year. Based on the posts you see on this blog, you might think we only buy used heavy metal LP and CD collections. That is far from the truth. We buy brand-new CDs, LPs, and cassettes from a growing network of labels and distributors. We buy so much; brand-new music accounts for over 50% of our sales. These are our top-selling albums from 2024.
Mercyful Fate – Don’t Break The Oath CD 2020 Metal Blade – [Gatefold Digipak]
A seller in New York hit me up years ago, wanting to sell these CDs. Honestly, I didn’t do a great job on the offer. I offered him $4600 for this collection of what was supposed to be 2000 CDs. I should have bid higher.
We went back and forth over the price; he correctly thought it was low. After some negotiation, he told me he wanted me to go to Western Union or wire him the money. When I do business with someone, I always like to use PayPal so we can enable buyer-seller protection. It acts as an escrow between the buyer and the seller, keeping me locked into the deal while keeping the seller honest. If something goes wrong, PayPal is there to cover it. I have tried other methods to facilitate a deal like this and never have found better. Just sending someone thousands of dollars and hoping they send you what they promise is the oldest scam on the Internet.
Deal In Limbo
In limbo is where the deal sat for almost 2 years; the guy finally hit me up a few months ago and said he still wanted to sell the CDs and was willing to accept my offer. He then said he had the same issues with PayPal and could not get his account going again. I told him that if he were willing to send me the CDs, I would pay him for them if they were what he said they were. I pointed out that I have a well-respected career as someone who buys heavy metal albums and CD collections.
He then sent me the CDs through media mail. They were packed OK, but were a bit dusty. The playing surfaces were all pristine; many cracked cases needed replacement. The actual count of the CDs was only 1400, not the 2000 that he thought it was. Overestimating the collection size is a common issue when buying collections; people often think they have more than they actually do.
Even with the numbers not being precisely right, this is still a great deal. $4600 was a fair price. The cost per unit totaled $3.28, which is still great. I would’ve paid even more for them now, as there were many rare and out-of-print CDs from the 1990s to the 2000s, many of which were worth up to $50, a few even more than that. I compiled a list of the best and brightest below.
Highlights From This Collection

Do You Have A Heavy Collection Like This To Sell?
eI am always on the hunt to aquire new black, heavy metal, punk rock and death metal collections of any size. None is too expesive.
In the video below is highlights from a collection of rare death metal CDs I bought from Arizona recently.
The last few months have been pretty crazy with collection buying. As a business owner, I can tell you my inventory is better than ever. That’s because more people are selling than buying because they are broke.
This is my current inventory of collections I bought but haven’t even had a chance to go through yet.
If I had what I have now two years ago, I would be making 5K a day in gross sales. Instead, I’m making a fraction of that. That said, I’m doing OK… better than many—but that is not the point of this rant.
As we go into this election season, know this: If you think inflation is waning, you are dead wrong. Please don’t believe the hype about the Fed’s interest rate cut because inflation is “over.” It’s all performative theater.
Thrash Metal IQ is all about metal. That is as far as I care to get into politics on the site.
I’m cutting this month’s blog post short so I can to get back to cataloging all this stuff I bought recently.
Have A Collections Like This To Sell?
Despite the massive stack of boxes at the top of this post, I am still buying!
Check out the information below if you want to sell your heavy metal collection.
A collector contacted me a few months ago and sent me a list of everything they had for sale. To determine the price, they sent me a list of the titles and a few example photos that were somewhat deceptive to represent the grading of the CDs. I’m sharing more on this below.
How The CDs Were Described
Actuality of Most
Some had mold
Pricing / Shipping Method
We agreed on a price ($3200 + shipping costs) and had to figure out a shipping method from the UK. Typically, shipping from Europe via FedEx or UPS is the least expensive. DHL is the best choice for shipping from England, though prices have risen quite a bit for their already costly service. The value of the Euro to the dollar is less lopsided than it used to be, with the exchange rate hovering near 1 for 1 now, making it a buyer’s market if you are in the US.
I sent the money via PayPal, and the seller shipped the collection out the next day.
Issues
Sadly, when the collection arrived, it became clear that the example photos of the CDs did not represent the vast majority of the collection. 70% came covered in mold and quite scratched. I contacted the seller, but they seemed uninterested in fixing the problem. I considered disputing through PayPal because this sale is covered by buyer protection. Ultimately, I did not dispute it once it was put for sale because I saw I could make a decent return. Luckily, the record grading was better than described.

In the video below are some highlights from a collection of death metal, goregrind, pornogrind, and cyberbrind CDs I bought from a collector in Seattle. I had to cut the video short and edit it for YouTube to keep my channel from getting a strike because of the graphic nature of some of these covers.
For those unaware, goregrind is an offshoot of death metal initially pioneered by UK’s Carcass. It existed as an extreme sub-genre of death metal before breaking off into even more extreme sub-genres such as goregrind and pornogrind by bands like Meatshits, Lividity, Anal Blast, and Waco Jesus.
Collection Highlights
Here are some of the rare and valuable CDs in this collection. I decided to use the censored photos to avoid getting this blog in hot water with the powers at Google.

I am guilty of spending more time in these blog posts covering the crazy vinyl collectionsI buy, never highlighting any awesome CD collections I acquire. I am picking up nearly ten CD collections for every vinyl collection I buy, yet I rarely feature them. That all changes with this month’s blog update.
The video below features a quick tour of a collection of nearly 1,000 heavy, death, and thrash metal CDs I bought from a collector in South Carolina. While many of these CDs are pretty common stuff you see frequently, there were definitely some gems in there.
Some CDs had more scratches than I would have liked, and quite a few club/BMG discs were in there. All in all, I’m happy with this purchase. At least the seller packed the CDs really well.
The Gems
Here is a list of some of the better discs in this collection.
Cannibal Corpse – Tomb of the Mutilated CD
Cannibal Corpse – Tomb of the Mutilated CD 1992 Metal Blade – 3984-14003-2 – This CD has ben reissued many times, but if you have the original 1992 press, it’s worth something.
Value: $60
Psychosomatic – Clicking Sound Of A Hammer Pulled Back CD
Psychosomatic – Clicking Sound Of A Hammer Pulled Back CD 2015 Buriedinhell – While this album is only a few years old, this new-school thrash classic sold out so quickly that the value has already skyrocketed.
Value: $50
Hallows Eve – History of Terror CD/DVD
Hallows Eve – History of Terror CD/DVD 2006 Metal Blade 3984-14565-2 [4 CD Set] – This 4 CD/DVD compilation from one of my favorite Where Are They Now? heavy metal band Hallows Eve. This Atlanta thrash metal group was one of the greatest bands that never made it.
Value: $50
Vio-Lence – Oppressing The Masses CD
Vio-Lence – Oppressing The Masses CD 1990 Atlantic – 7 82105-2 [ORIGINAL PRESS] – Vio-Lence was one of the “lucky” bands in the late 80s to get signed to a major label. Due to management problems, Vio-lence got dropped from the Atlantic. Oppressing The Masses was never reissued, and it is unavailable on streaming.
Value: $50
This collection has many other great titles, but I will leave it here for now.
Do You Have A CD Collection Live This To Sell?
I am constantly in the market to buy new collections. Hit me up at the info below if you have one.
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged about updating one of these lists of the most expensive metal CDs I have acquired when buying black and death metal CD collections. What follows is a list of the most costly CDs we have sold in the first two quarters of 2023, above $79.
20) Iron Maiden – Wasting Love CD Maxi-Single
Iron Maiden – Wasting Love CD Maxi-Single 1992 EMI – 7243 8 80231 2 2 *NL [RARE] – Wasting Love is an incredibly rare CD Maxi-single with three live tracks and, like many Iron Maiden singles, is worth a pretty penny.
Price $79.95
19) Six Pack – Drunken Possession CD
Six Pack – Drunken Possession CD 2016 [Self Released] RARE! – This CD is so obscure it doesn’t even have a Discogs listing and is nearly impossible to find.

Price $80.95

Price $97.95
15) Exhorder – Slaughter in the Vatican CD
Exhorder – Slaughter in the Vatican CD 1991 Roadrunner – RO 93632 [First Press] – Like Forced Entry, Exhorder was a fantastic thrash metal band that showed up late at the party. Pantara has been accused of stealing its sound from this obscure New Orleans metal band, which released only one more album before taking a 30-year hiatus and returning in 2019 with Mourn The Southern Skies.
Price $98.95
14) Analepsy – Atrocities From Beyond CD
Analepsy – Atrocities From Beyond CD 2017 Vomit Your Shirt – VYS016-3 [Slipcase] – A newer death metal band from Lison, Portugal, with some deathcore overtones. There’s only this version of the first press. It includes a slipcase + color stickers and is manufactured in Portugal.

Descendent – Degeneration CD 1995 Self-Released – This rare self-released CD from this death metal band from Toledo, Ohio, active from 1993-1996, is almost impossible to find. The band’s short tenure has attracted a cult following in recent years.
Price $102.95
11) Black Tongue – Nadir CD
Black Tongue – Nadir CD 2018 Self-Released [Digipak] RARE! – This self-released digipak from up-and-coming deathcore act Black Tongue is almost impossible to find. Though released just five years ago, it is entirely out of print. Nadir is the band’s third self-released album.

The original pressing on Grind Core Records is the one that is worth big money, though.
Price $109.95
9) Moonblood – Blut & Krieg / Sob A Lua Do Bode CD
Moonblood – Blut & Krieg / Sob A Lua Do Bode CD 2014 Misanthrophia Discos *DE – This CD is a reissue and compilation of material recorded in 1996. This reissue is from Misanthrophia Discos from Germany and is strictly limited to 500 copies.
Price $119.95

Forced Entry – As Above So Below CD 1991 Relativity – 88561-2024-2 [1st Press] – A rare gem from Seattle’s Forced Entry comes from a promising thrash metal band that appeared on the scene too late. As Above So Below and the band’s debut Uncertain Future would have been genre-defining classics had either come out in 1986.
Price $121.95
7) Sepultura – Morbid Visions CD
Sepultura – Morbid Visions CD 1990 New Renaissance Records – NRCD43 [Original] – This album originally came out on Brazil’s Cogumelo Produções but would never appear on CD until this reissue on the now-defunct New Renaissance Records. Note the primitive, very plain typesetting on the back tray card; it can often be a harbinger of an expensive first-edition CD.
Price $124.95
6) Slayer – Hell Awaits CD
Slayer – Hell Awaits CD 1986 Combat – 88561-8020-2 [Rare First Pressing] – This Japanese press for the US market of Slayer’s second full-length album is distinctive by its orange tray card. It comes from an era when only major labels could get music out on CD. In this case, Metal Blade outsourced the manufacturing to Japan.
Price $129.95
5) Cemetery – An Evil Shade Of Grey CD
Cemetery – An Evil Shade Of Grey CD 1992 Black Mark Production – BMCD 20 GERMANY – Cemetery is a cult death metal band active from 1989 to 2005.

4) Gutted – Gutted CD
Gutted – Gutted CD 1997 Loud N Local Music Group – LNLMG9701-2 – This CD is a very rare compilation of this Toledo, Ohio, death metal band’s first EP and early demos. It was released on the one-off “Loud N Local Music Group.” Gutted was a legendary band that, sadly, released too few recordings.
Price $139.95
3) Enslaved – Vikingligr Veldi CD
Enslaved – Vikingligr Veldi CD 1994 Deathlike Silence – Anti Mosh 008 [EARLY] – The first press from this Norwegian death metal band has no white space on the back cover, which is about the same size as a bar code. The subsequent repress has this. Regardless of which version you have, they are both worth a ton. Enslaved is still active, touring, and is releasing new material.
Price $149.95
2) Dawn – Nær Solen Gar Niþer For Evogher CD
Dawn – Nær Solen Gar Niþer For Evogher CD 1994 Necropolis – NR 006 ORIGINAL – All of the 90s albums, Swedish melodic-death metal band Dawn, are extremely expensive. Even the reissues cost quite a bit and sell out immediately. If you have never listened to Dawn, I highly recommend you do.
Price $159.95
1) Weakling – Dead As Dreams CD
Weakling – Dead As Dreams CD 2000 tUMULt – tm 17 – American Black Metallers Weakling released only one studio album besides a rehearsal recording. Weakling became quite popular posthumously due to their early 2000s breakup. This CD is a cult classic and is damn near impossible to find.
