Metalheads are notoriously cheap and/or poor. Jews are notoriously cheap too, if not necessarily poor in this day and age. Combine these things with a killer sale at Amazon this week and you’ve got two very excited bloggers at your favorite Jewish metal news outlet!

Amazon is continuing their tradition of honoring the previous year’s best releases with a whole slew of 2010 albums — 1,306, to be exact — on sale at their MP3 store for only $5 each for the month of January. Since Amazon knows you’re not made of time they’ve conveniently sorted things by genre, so instead of sifting through all 1,306 releases you can easily see just the 55 Hard Rock and Metal releases to see if there’s anything that tickles your fancy. With 2010 releases by Intronaut, Kylesa, Accept, Holy Grail, Nevermore, Daath, Nachtmystium, The Acacia Strain, Son of Aurelius, Howl, Mantric and, uh… Mushroomhead all on sale (plus many, many more) now’s the time to fill those gaps in your collection or check out a release we’ve been raving about that you haven’t had the time or money to invest in. A few newer classics are on sale too, such as Between the Buried and Me’s Colors and Animals as Leaders’ 2009 self-titled album and Skeletonwitch’s Breathing the Fire.

So get to buyin‘. $5 is less than the cost of a beer at most New York City bars. Don’t be a fool.
