PRODUCT DETAILS
Neither viruses at large nor, on a shorter scale, flighty musical trends can stop Protector. In fact, it seems that the thrash veterans have been delivering the goods in a more consistent fashion than ever since their official reformation in Sweden under their original name in 2011. Band leader Martin Missy tends to agree, seeing his troupe just as strong as it was in the late eighties. "I think all the different line-ups were on the same level, only this one has been together for a longer time than any other - 16 years to be exact, if you want to include what we did under the banner Martin Missy and the Protector's." Which leads us to the Teutonic-Scandinavian unit's new effort "Excessive Outburst of Depravity, " sounding as unmistakably Protector as the creative process was business as usual in an ideal sense. "Everybody wrote riffs on their own, which we then played to each other and turned into songs. I wrote most of the lyrics, but Mathias contributed four, too." Speaking of the bass player's tunes, 'Shackled By Total Control' has socio-critical undertones whereas 'Pandemic Misery' is the only track on the album dealing with the plague that is Corona. At the funny end of the spectrum, closer 'Morse Mania' harks back to 'Caught in a Morse' from Martin's 2007 demo with Talion. Beyond that, the WWII-inspired 'Referat IV B 4' ("National Socialism was the worst thing ever for Germany and Europe as a whole - never forget!") and the sinister crawl of 'Open Skies And Endless Seas' are classic Missy fare, showing the shouter's unabated interest in mankind's often belligerent history. And while the pitch-black 'Toiling in Sheol' follows hot on the heels of "Summon the Hordes" (2019), the epic melodicism of 'Cleithrophobia'may come as a mild surprise. "I am afraid of getting closed in, ", the front man confesses. "That's also why we'll never be able to perform outside of Europe." Nevertheless, "Excessive Outburst of Depravity" will enthuse thrash maniacs worldwide thanks to Protector's sheer down-to-earthness. "I am actually very happy with our current situation", Missy concludes. "We release an album every three years while staying with our jobs and families. It's a good arrangement for all of us."

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.

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!
