PRODUCT DETAILS
Was DAZZLING KILLMEN a hardcore band? A metal band? The world's gnarliest progressive-rock quartet? ""Yes"" is the easy answer, but only because it's easy to rewind through two decades of genre fragmentation to hear Dazzling Killmen's influence on any number of ""math-metal,"" ""prog-core"" and similarly classified bands. At the time, however, this St. Louis quartet occupied a genre of one. When SKiN GRAFT released the Killmen's 1994 sophomore album, ""Face of Collapse"", that genre had it's touchstone."" - Excerpt from Aaron Burgess' liner notes Dazzling Killmen have reformed and this is the album that defined a genre. Select US dates are scheduled for 2026-2027 and the band will be touring Europe this October. ""Face of Collapse"" was engineered by Steve Albini, mastered from the original analog tapes and this pressing will come packaged with a ""Footlong OBI"", liner notes and an illustrated inner sleeve. Available on colored vinyl for the first time ever. ""Dazzling Killmen's influence is definitely discernible in later metallic hardcore touchstones like the Dillinger Escape Plan's ""Calculating Infinity"" and Botch's ""We Are the Romans"", not to mention the prolific output that followed from all of the band's members... ""Face of Collapse"" remains completely out of step with rock music then or now; much like the Victorian cabinet of curiosities depicted on the album cover, each of it's component parts is an object of wonder."" - DECIBEL Magazine""Face of Collapse"" is a milestone for underground extreme rock in the '90s and should be experienced by fans of everything from Slint to the Dillinger Escape Plan to Rush."" - ALL MUSiC GUIDE""Just put it on. You get it from the first fuckin' blast, and the deal is sealed every pounding note thereafter."" - VAGUELY OFFENSIVE""The top album of the 90's"" - Loud Life at ALTERNATIVE PRESS

By far, my favorite shop to buy from! Always quick with the delivery! Love tyler the creator and I've been searching for this specific vinyl at a good price!
package shipped well. there was a fragile sticker on the box which was nice, most places don’t put that and vinyls get damaged. package arrived in perfect condition.
Good packaging, product was in good condition and showed up on time great album no problems with any of the vinyls either very happy with it.
I am a huge Bob's Burger Fan and found this album as I was browsing the website. I had to get it immediately. I can believe I came across this on a random Tuesday. Can't thank coming across pale blue records enough. And the delivery is super fast. Can't wait for my next purchase.
Super fast shipping, packing done well. Exactly as described. The customer service and product choice is why I keep coming back.
Perfectly packaged, no warping, clear sound. Will definitely purchase from Pale Blue Dot Records again.

Would definitely buy from Pale Dot Records again. The delivery was fast and the records sounds great!
Purchased as a Christmas gift for my 29 year old son. Can't wait for him to open. Packaged with care and timely shipping. Positive experience!
Vinyls arrived in perfect condition, expertly packed, and 3 days from the date of purchase (over the Thanksgiving holiday, no less). Could not be more pleased. Thanks so much!
We received our vinyl fast, it was fairly price, and they had a great selection to choose from. One record we purchased had an issue on the track, and the owner was quick to resolve the issue for us. I’ll be purchasing all of our records from this store moving forward!
The records and the sleeve are really nice. Pacific Dot Records blew me away with shipping it out like, immediately after I ordered it. Arrived well protected and perfect. No complaints.
fast shipping, great communication, and awesome staff. very responsive with messages too. can’t wait to purchase from them again
Records arrived inside the special record boxes, unopened, and in pristine condition. They didn't very long to begin the shipping either. Some places make you wait 3-5 days just to have it shipped out. They did not.
This is not about the product. I've ordered from PBD before and the Vinyls that come from them are wonderful and pressed really well!
This review is more on customer service.
USPS seemed to have goofed around a bit and cause a delay of about 1.5 weeks. Tristan was a highly communicative person and was reassuring with the options I had regarding if my order never arrived. Good sense of humor, accountability, and customer satisfaction. The Sweetwater of vinyl shops. Officially my vinyl go to!
