This year Black Friday has been made more tolerable, with the announcement of Record Store Day slated for November 29. Now music fans can feel a little more included in physical shopping activities with official events scheduled for the day and special album releases announced just for the occasion.
Some of the post-turkey day releases you may be the most excited to know about include vinyl editions from Puscifer, Life of Agony, Metallica, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Queens of the Stone Age, Rush and Devin Townsend Project.
