Welcome to Mostly Music Store

A dramatic, bombastic and genre‑bending debut, Rise Of The Empress introduces White Empress — the symphonic extreme‑metal project led by Paul Allender (Cradle of Filth) and fronted by powerhouse vocalist Mary Zimmer. Blending operatic vocals, death‑metal aggression and cinematic orchestration, the album delivers a theatrical, high‑impact soundscape mixed and mastered by Kit Woolven. Pressed in the UK and housed in a standard jacket with printed inner sleeve, this edition is a bold, collector‑ready statement for fans of modern symphonic and extreme metal.

INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE OUTSIDE OF THE UK
Please note I subscribe to eBay Global shipping, therefore all my shipping charges remain the same as above as all international packages are sent to eBay Global within the UK
I Do not set the fees for your shipping internationally, this is automatically set by eBay Global shipping, and therefore I CANNOT send combined shipping invoices for overseas customers, eBay do not combine postage for international customers - IMPORTANT - the shipping fees set go to EBAY and not myself,
I will not ship overseas without going through eBay global because this would mean leaving the Global shipping Programme and the protections I receive as part of being subscribed to it.

I offer full returns within the stated timeframe usually 60 days, The reason for the return will determine who is responsible for paying for the return, 
If you are not happy with your purchase (mistakes can happen) to ensure I remain within and you remain within eBay's policies please contact me first to advise of any issues to allow me to resolve, It is sometimes best to open a return where you will be automatically sent a free return shipping label if the return is on my fault etc, (damaged, not as described , doesn't fit etc
if you want to return because you ordered the wrong item then this will be at your cost.
Please do not ask for part refunds as this goes against eBay's policy, once a request to return is opened i can then offer a part refund if i think it is correct to do so .
