I haven't been to Germany post Covid but in the 2010-20 time when I'd visit often, I've observed the music stores in Germany (Munich & Berlin predominantly) are very limiting due to focussing on German pressings. It would often take some time for the new releases to be available and I, very rarely saw imports at reasonable prices. Additionally, the stores I went to weren't focussed, you'd have so much music stocked but it's all scattered around which I found quite annoying, but that's just me. Love that Stone! There is an overall industrial sense to their sound which I quite enjoy and that artwork is brilliant!
Thanks for watching! Yeah, one place I went to had a massive collection but everything was stocked under rock/pop. It was overwhelming. The other stores had genre wise displays but the metal racks were really limited with lots of 80s obscure European heavy metal bands. Still, prices on the used stuff were quite good although most newer releases are cheaper online I guess.
Just found your channel, surfed through some of your videos, and I'm super impressed with your collection. It's just amazing! Glad to see a fellow Indian metal head showcasing and reviewing all this good music. Reminds me of the style of videos Wyattxhim, Altars of Mattness, Metal Trenches and other metal UA-camrs do, which I thoroughly enjoy. Always a treat to discover new music. Just wanted to know, how did you manage to collect so many good vinyls and CDs, especially for extreme metal? Do record labels distribute international bands' merch in India? Are there any stores or vendors selling extreme metal merch in Bangalore?
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. I've been collecting CDs since 1992 and vinyl for about 10 years now. Bangalore used to have great music stores for metal in the 90s and early 2000s but they're all closed now. There are a few online distros that still source stuff though. Look for Slaytanic distro and Bangalore Audio Distro on Instagram. I also order a lot of stuff online as well so built my collection over time and from a lot of different sources. 🙂
Great selection, you hit on many classics!
Thanks for watching! Cheers!!
