Reviews
We came all the way from Cornwall to visit, and the lady in the store was super kind and helpful, we really appreciated the service and great vibes! Thanks so much.
I had a really great experience here while I was on vacation in London. I was looking for a few specific records. They didn't have them and that's all good. I found an LP i've been wanting for quite some time and cannot get in the States so that was awesome!
The guy working that day was very nice and we made small talk. He made some recommendations and I saved them for further listening.
Great shop - thanks y'all !
A properly dedicated record store for metal and related genres. Stocks all sorts you won't find elsewhere. It's particularly great for black metal
Been buying a fair bit of new vinyl and tapes recently from both bands I know and bands I've never heard of. Great prices, speedy delivery and am enjoying discovering some of the best records I've heard from new raw bands. An absolute gem of a store!
The best experience I’ve ever had in a shop. I’m newer to exploring metal, and the owner was leaps and bounds beyond helpful in finding music that was right up my alley. Left with a really unique selection of vinyls (at a really great price!), as well as a nice little list of other bands to check out! I especially recommend this to any travelers from the states. I don’t think you’ll find a more specifically/perfectly tailored shop or such a welcoming vibe in the metal community.
