Metal Fingers aka MF Doom – Special Herbs Volume 5 & 6 (Vinyl)
MF Doom – the demented mad scientist of hip-hop music and culture started out in the early 1990’s under the moniker Zev Love X. Since then personal tragedies and an ever evolving mind have spawned several alternate personalities - the Viktor Vaughn of “Vaudeville Villain” the King Geedorah of Monsta Island Czars and the musical stylings of Metal Fingers. They’re each unique, interesting, and independent facets of a producer whose true identity may never be revealed.
Choosing once again to wield the persona of Metal Fingers, in 2014 MF Doom unleashed his set of introspective instrumentals. He dubbed each set in this series his “Special Herbs,” which you’re free to interpret as either the ingredients he cooks up or the buds that he tokes up. It really makes no difference, because when Fingers aka Doom is inspired by his herbs, he serves up some of the best sonic concoctions to be heard anywhere.

PRE-ORDERS
Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.
OUT OF STOCK ITEMS
Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.
SHIPPING
Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
