record store dayMarch was Metal Month and that was dandy, but this Saturday, April 17th is Record Store Day, so guess what that means? More prizes for you! And a bunch of sweet in-store performances!

Southern Lord Merch (includes t-shirts and a Boris 7”)
Metal CDs from Good Fight, Victory, Megaforce, Ibex Moon and Prosthetic

Throwing the horns in the Slayer section, wearing corpsepaint while holding an Immortal record, etc. Post links in the comments or email photos to news [at] metalsucks [dot] net with “RECORD STORE DAY” in the subject line. We did this last year for Record Store Day and got some great entries, so let’s see what you’ve got this time around.

    I thought Mastodon was making the in-store appearance in Raleigh, not Between the Buried and Me, although they could be doing it too, but I read that Mastodon was doing it.

      Nevermind. I just read that Between the Buried and Me will be doing it at 2:30 and Mastodon is at 4:00

    Still quite a few independent record stores in metro Detroit, yet the only one with an event listed on the Record Store Day website is effin’ Taproot!? What the hell!?

    Schoolkids is a pretty tiny place to have any bands play inside, let alone BTBAM…

    • Joshua

      They aren’t playing there, they are just making an in-store appearance there. They are playing at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh that night.
