KLBJ’s On-air talent has filtered through the enormous list of music coming out on Black Friday, so you can get your friends and family the gift that really matters … GREAT rockin’ music!
Check out Chuck’s recommendations below and stay tuned for more blogs from our on-air team!
“Traditionally, Black Friday has been about super-cheap prices on mass-produced goods and primarily takes place in malls and big box stores. But we really like the idea of a shopping season, especially when that shopping is all about, at its heart, a way to show the people you like that you like them. (And a way for them to show you, too. Gift-GETTING is also awesome!) So we created RSD Black Friday.” The Record Store Day’s website reads.
CHUCK’S PICKS (AKA Metal Bangers)
- Wolves In The Throne Room – Black Cascade (15 Year Anniversary Edition) (Southern Lord) 2 x LP RSD Limited Run / Regional Focus 1000
- One of their finest releases in their catalog, LP is the true form to listen to this one. Literally four songs on this album …
- Lacuna Coil – The EPs: Lacuna Coil & Halflife (Limited Run Vinyl/Brutal Planet Records) LP ‘RSD First’ 1100
- this exclusive offering combines two timeless EPs, the self-titled “Lacuna Coil” EP from 1998 and the hauntingly evocative “Halflife” EP from 2000, into a single mesmerizing vinyl experience.
- Lamb Of God – Ashes of the Wake Live (Legacy Recordings) 2 x LP ‘RSD First’ 4400
- Listen to Lamb of God’s performance of Ashes of the Wake: Live in Richmond, VA. Filmed during the band’s hometown livestream during lockdown, Lamb of God’s performance of their classic album performed front to back is now available for the first time since 2020. Enjoy 3 sides of music and an etched design on the fourth side.
- Helmet – Betty (Interscope) 2 x LP ‘RSD First’ 3500
- Blah blah, cult classic, whatever, it’s one of the finest Helmet albums to date, and the double LP looks sick!
Not Metal, but awesome:
- Morphine – B-Sides and Otherwise (Ryko/Rhino) LP RSD Exclusive 3000
- RIP Mark Sandman… ☹
