Once upon a time, there was a small little label called Nascent Frost Productions. Its long been dead now, but I was there when this label was getting on its feet. Phil Diaz with an Encryptor album, and me (Tom Eversole) with an Akryal album being the first two death metal releases for this label.
History lesson over, I tried hooking up someone with my old (and only) Akryal release; a 12 minute EP called "Cimmerian Lethargy", but ran into an interesting problem.
The problem isn't that its being sold. That's fine - I've been redirecting Akryal sales for this abandoned project for years. The problem is the price.

Someone recently (today) contacted me about the album, and all I can find is it being sold with a beyond ridiculous price. These two places are the only ones left online that appear to be selling the album.
Why that much?
I thought about contacting the seller (who's using the Akryal name) at those two different places, but what would that really do? Obviously they have the right to sell it at that price - why would someone joke with something like this?
...besides, I have not yet found a way to contact them.
If someone was looking to rip someone off, they'd sell the CD for $50, and not send it. Who in their right mind would PAY or SELL THAT price? If its an attempt to have it "archived" into amazon.com or reystar.com, WHY?
I just don't understand. Normally I would spend several seconds scoffing at the entire circumstance before I move on, but considering I made the music for this solo project, designed the artwork.....
....ok, it feels like I'm an artist, sold two sculptures for $10 each, and I find out they're going for $2,000 in an art show 8 years later. I've got a flood of emotions here - almost to the point of being alexithymia.
Mostly confusion with mixes of regret?, egoism?, paranoia?, happiness?, anger?
If someone would care to offer possible explanations, perhaps even emotional support, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thank you for your time,
