what's wrong with rusfolder? anyway, here you go:

awesome dude. can't thank you enough for this. \m/

Track 6 is corrupted; huge drop out at the beginning...
Give it a listen and do a re-rip or re-record it from your shitty web stream _before_ posting. plotn08, I hate you.

Sample Rate : 32000 *cough*

it's streaming on their page. better perform a source rip (128kbps / 44.1KHz)

yea the plotn08 group is becoming really annoying. they tag their releases as "all exclusive"... what a joke site. all they do is record spotify premium streams via sound card. as DDT noted, their releases look like real 320 but they're not. in fact they sound more like a webrip than a CD rip. the problem is, the average user doesn't know anything about quality, and the technical aspect of bitrates, encodings and the likes. all they see is 320 and they believe it's the real deal. the first rip appearing on the internet is usually the one kept. only very few people care to download the same album twice (or even more often in order to improve quality). that's why it's important to properly tag music uploads. and this goes out to GetMetal too. I just recently managed to shed light on their tagging mystery. 320 on GM means iTunes matched or iTunes purchased files transcoded to 320kbps mp3, while true CD rips are labeled as such. good job you cheap ass cheaters. but some sites just don't have the balls to inform their users that upload X or Y is only a web recording, source rip or webrip. like, "look we are the best. we have the new Metallica 2 months before the initial release date and in 320. we don't care if it's only a transcoded webrip. it's 320 so fuck it, we can put 320 and fool people. noone in the god damn universe needs an album 2 months before it hits stores but hey, we love to ruin the music scene" and I could go on and on.

what I'm trying to say is, stop ripping everything for the sole purpose of releasing. you want hits, clicks, page impressions and downloads for your site? then provide quality uploads! if you don't have the money to buy the music you like, no matter if it's physical or digital, then you cannot have it. simple as that. what happened to the good old days when VBR scene releases were the ne plus ultra. I hate to spend most of my time downloading from crappy hosts (lol @ 50kb/s from uploaded, rapidgator, cloudzer for an album of 100MB and more), then perform spectral analysis to find out it's just another webrip. I wouldn't went through all this if it was labeled as webrip in the first place. and most importantly, stop converting everything to 320kbps mp3. 320 isn't as superior as you sites make want people to believe it is. instead provide the original bitrate/file format. when your source is iTunes m4a then friggin upload those. I can teach a monkey to transcode m4a to mp3. you don't have to do it for me.

omg, Heaven For Us. never expected I'd be able to ever hear it. thanks a ton!

oh and Biomechanical, I got a straight 320kbps CD (.wav) rip of Warmen - Fading Like A Flower.
my PC died last week so for now I'm on a small notebook. you can cross it from your list. I'll get you that song as soon as possible.

Does anyone have a vk.com account? Then please get the mp3s from their audio files section, and not from this post. All you have to do is perform a source rip. They are encoded with LAME3.98r and of much better quality than this uploaded FhG rip. Without an account I can only see the latest 3 files. Your help is appreciated.

128kbps transcode/webrip

GetMetal and MediaBOOM label their 320kbps files as "CD-Rip". This is plain wrong for most cases. Every album encoded with the following settings "LAME3.93 -m j -V 4 -q 0 -lowpass 22.1" is actually ripped/transcoded from a digital source (usually iTunes m4a) and not from a physical copy (CD).
The problem is, iTunes is having a lot of trouble with their servers this days. It seems files cannot be entirely downloaded from their online store. The connection to the download server gets interrupted downloading multiple files at once. That's why m4a files are cut off short from time to time. Redownloading often fixes this issue.
As you can see the error on track 8 for the 320kbps version is easy reproducable.

Track 2 is awesome. You all need to listen to this. good job, good job!

Found a couple of different files for this track; with slighly different duration and ranging from 128 to 192kbps (m4a and mp3). I made it an archive and included all. Keep the one you prefer.

bonus track is the same and taken from: Cripper - Killer Escort Service [ep] (2006)

I think I have most of them too but Saint Deamon sounds interesting. Is it possible it's "Pandeamonium (Karaoke Version)" you have? That's the one I miss.

If you're looking for anything yourself, just ask eh :D

*EDIT*
For those who want it, Dreamaker also contributed a cover of "Enjoy The Silence" to the 2008 Depeche Rock Covers Volume 1 compilation:


Note:
If you do a spectral analysis on the Dreamaker song you will see it dropping around 17KHz. That's due to the CD itself being lossy sourced - the files is 320 and not transcoded.

[more=Extended info]Helloween joined by original band member Kai Hansen for the final 2 songs making it their first show together in more than 15 years.
Pretty rare live recording many people asked for so here you go.[/more]

yes

Here is Wuthering Heights - Sympathy [Uriah Heep Cover] from "Salt" album in 320:

---

and here is Last Tribe - Blessed By The Dark in 192 (but I think it's a transcode):

---

Here you go mate (lossless rips in 320):

---

No Sir, thank you! Got it from lossless.

Anyone got Agent Steel - Brainwashed in good quality please? I only got it in 128 :/

I updated MA's album page.

It is a true 320kbps CD rip I can assure you that (coming from a source I trust). Track length is stamped in id3tag which is only done when using Windows Media Player. And there lies the problem: WMP uses the FhG codec instead of lame that's why it may seem so low in a spectral analysis :/


Link fixed.

That's probably the most disrespectful behavior I've ever seen on this forum, iriktaru.
Not only you clearly understand him, you respond in russian and put an unnecessary insult as cherry on top of it.
You're not going to steal food from your local supermarket because you are hungry...

Shame on you.

As for the album leak, I'm with Militia and Xeter.
That's just how the internet works. See the positive side of this: The more people being able to get a taste of the album, the more going to buy it. Real fans won't be happy with a 128kbps mp3 leak.

I'm not really diggin Wuthering Heights - a little too soft for my taste - so I don't have them but Angren does maybe :]

*EDIT*
Found "Wuthering Heights - Sympathy [Uriah Heep Cover]" in 320kbps.
This is the US edition bonus track for Sensory Records (same as the Japanese edition on Avalon).

256kbps? no. just another bandcamp webrip

[more=Extended info]Comes exclusively with German Metal Hammer 04/2012.[/more]

I already got their CDs, only missed the acoustic track, so not much to see here for me.

This site, usually with little exceptions, only provides albums that can already be found elsewhere. Much respect to Angren for providing one of the very few exclusive releases to MetalArea.org! MA was the first with this - show some love, write a small comment, drop a "Thanks" and don't take everything for granted.
