Record Store Day is just around the corner. Well, actually, it’s over a month away, on April 18th, but it’s time to start saving up some money to do the old timey thing that people back in the 70s, 80s and 90’s used to do and support independent record stores. While we’ve known that Mastodon, Metallica, Stone Sour and Slayer would be releasing special vinyl (or a cassette!) for the twice-annual day, the full list of releases had been revealed, and there’s quite a bit of metal in it this year. From At the Gates and Clutch to The Devil Wears Prada and Every Time I Die, there’s something for just about every fan of metal to appreciate. Here’s what you’ll be able to pick up:
