    Lame lame lame. Cannot be purchased by non-US citizens. And it wait until the veeeery last step to tell me. Since when has borders become a hinderance for digital (not physical) products?

    • Aaron

      Not to mention you have to install amazon’s stupid mp3 downloader software.

  • Lordassenfroth

    seeing as how i already have ihsahn’s new album, it just seems like a waste of hard drive space.

      What? You don’t want tracks from Five Finger Cock Punch or Suicide Silence? Whyever not? They are some of metal’s finest bands today! I mean, what’s better than wannabe soldiers singing about how tough they are and brotastic breakdowns?

        i know something better, yesterday i took a huge dump, and as i gazed upon my colossal lump i noticed the birth had given life to an unholy demon. Amazed at my asses shit-making prowess i reach in and grab it with my hand, squishing it through my fingers, relishing in sadness at the destruction of my beautiful vehement creation. only then did i realize what it was like to listen to 5 finger jack off hand or band that needs to commit “suicide” and forever remain “silent”.

        also, it feels need when it squishes through your hand. its like how jello turns to liquid when you swish it through your teeth, turds turn to diarrhea

    U.S. only… I HATE THIS!

  • Tim-o-tato

    Some of the tracks are FUCKED UP anyways…half way through a couple of them it goes to a loud pitched BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP. And the Suicide track is only 1:17 seconds long….FUCKING LAME!!!!!!!

    • Aaron

      same prob here

  • GoingDeaf?

    That’s a ridiculously bad compilation. Not sure how Queensryche fits into March Metal Month, but it’s by far the best track on this garbage.

  • slowmotion

    Yeah, I’ll probably download it when I get home from work but the list of bands doesn’t get me too excited.

    I noticed however while looking for this amazon has another free sampler available from The End Records for download called “amazon metal sampler”. Its got my favorite Sigh song off their new album for free at least. Listening to a few of the samples I don’t think all the bands are really metal but they sound more interesting than some of the bands on the March is Metal Month sampler.

  • boob

    fucking non-US shit…. i know its already mentioned above…. but still… fuck it

    can’t you guys deal with this somehow?

  • boob

    and why does it say “while supplies last”? Is there a physical CD vversion? Isn’t it just digital? Are they running out digital copies?

    ….

    Promoting a sampler with Five Finger Death Punch and Suicide Silence to celebrate Metal Month is like going to Hot Topic, buying a 3Oh!3 shirt and then donating money to their Save the Music thing while you’re checking out.

  • guey

    NO, NO, NO!! MARCH IS BURZUM MONTH!!!!!!!

    The digital market has territory license rights and limitations just like CDs. Since these labels/bands are backed by EMI/Caroline as an exclusive US distributor, they probably don’t have global rights to distribute these tracks outside of the Americas.

    Hmmm so heard about this and went to try and download the Southern Lord sampler with some quite cool bands on it, only to find that it can’t be downloaded by non-US citizens. I then sat back ready to bitch very loduly and then realised within a day it’ll probably already be up on the internets elsewhere. So no huge problem.

    Just go through a U.S. Proxy, and sign up with a new email acct while through the proxy. Then you should be able to download it. Thats how I downloaded the Trivium “Slave New World” cover (only available in the U.K.) even though I’m in the U.S.
