FIND $2 METAL ALBUMS IN THE AMAZON
Monday, November 23rd, 2009 at 4:30pm by Axl Rosenberg
Who’s excited for Black Friday this year? Do we think any employees of certain mega chain-stores will be trampled to death so that some schmuck can save a few bucks on a Rape Me Elmo or whatever the hot toy is this season? Personally, I think that until it’s gotten to a Dawn of the Dead kinda point where people are using the mall as a fortress against the undead hordes of shoppers, America still has a long ways to go in terms of proving their devotion to the shopping gods.
For those of you who are like me and wouldn’t go near a store on Black Friday even if Liv Kristine was personally on-hand to toss every shopper’s salad, our friends at Metal Insider report that Amazon is giving away free $3 credits for their mp3 store, which you can redeem by using the code MP34FREE. Furthermore, they have a $5 metal album section, which means – and here’s some complicated arithmetic for you! – that if you redeem the code, you can get one of these albums for a whopping two bucks. And since excellent releases (both new and vintage!) by such bands as Slayer, Mastodon, Devin Townsend, Between the Buried and Me, Darkest Hour, Motorhead, and a couple of dozen others, this deal is a good chance to stock up on whatever your collection has been missing. Now go spend some money.

CDs or GTFO
Thanks for posting this. I might get the new Darkest Hour CD….
Do you think Amazon.co.uk is doing something like this too ?
I am so fucking glad I don’t work retail any more. Black Friday was always ridiculous, full of http://www.peopleofwalmart.com rejects fighting over $20 DVD players. I’ve been in less violent mosh pits. Fuck that shit in the ear.
LOL at the people of walmart, I had never seen it before. Gold. Pure gold.
I didn’t work at a Wal-Mart, just a similar store, but I saw a lot of the same sort of thing. People have no sense of shame any more.
Yeah, try working at the busiest sit-down restaurant in the mall on Black Friday, ugh. Did that a few years in a row. I usually opened up and had to get there a couple hours early to get everything ready. And, every Black Friday I worked there, as soon as I opened the place up, tables would be getting filled up.
I don’t get how this works…As in, where do you enter the code?
thanks for the tip, just downloaded Sons of Northern Darkness
Fuck you!! ‘Terria’ is easily in the top five greatest Devin Townsend albums.
Personally I feel CDs are dead. Vinyl is the only worthwhile physical format anymore.
Say what you will about Liv Kristine, but I’d wake up early on Friday if she was at a store to toss salad.
1. No, I ain’t buying shit.
2. Thanks for showing love to Darkest Hour. They deserve more attention.
What the fuck? MP3 Dloads only? Fail.
If you don’t already have Devin’s ‘Terria’ and you won’t buy it for $5 then please shoot yourself in the face.
if that was $5 for the actual cd id jump on a couple of those. but im not going to pay for mp3’s i can get in under 2 min for free.
Too bad the I own all the CDs that I am Interested.
