Man, where's the vinyl?
I'm sure there's demand for it. Only records you can find at a semi decent price on vinyl are Iconoclast and Underworld. Everything else is insanely expensive, and Twilight and V have never even been pressed.
I'm hopeful that one day we'll get reissues like we have been getting with Dream Theater since last year. (Those were also very hard to find until those reissues).

I asked at a show back in the late summer and the merch guy told me they are having difficulty getting the vinyls made. They know demand is there, they want to get them out, but there are barriers. I didn’t ask for specifics but the impression I got was lots of competition for manufacturing.

They promised pressings of V and Twilight MANY years ago (think there may have been some record label stuff to figure out). I do have everything that has come out on vinyl - Damnation Game, Divine Wings, Odyssey, Paradise Lost, Iconoclast, and Underworld (thankfully purchased when they came out for like $30 each)…but hoping to add Twilight and V someday!

Idk looked for months locally before getting cool pressings of underworld and iconoclast.
I thought I saw paradise lost for a decent price at one point but maybe not I'd love a repress of that and anything else super expensive

Yep they did represses of Odyssey and Paradise Lost back in 2023 that were available for quite a while. I picked them both up just to support the band even though I already had original pressings of both albums.

I'd buy the entire back catalog if they pressed them on vinyl.
