For the listener who measures a record collection by riff weight and tuning depth, this page pulls together 671 heavy metal titles across vinyl and CD formats, from classic-era foundations to current pressing runs.
The range here is wide by design. Judas Priest's Sad Wings of Destiny (Original 1976 Masters) is available on both LP and CD. Black Sabbath appears across several pressings, including Master of Reality and Sabotage, both on 180g vinyl, and Past Lives: Deluxe Edition as a 2xLP. Meshuggah's Catch ThirtyThree - 20th Anniversary Edition (2026 Remastered) arrives as a marbled 2xLP. Type O Negative's Life Is Killing Me: 20th Anniversary Edition is pressed across three LPs. Siamese's Dissolution comes on gold vinyl. Whitechapel's self-titled is available in a marbled black and white colored pressing. Machine Head's More Things Change is a 2xLP, Korn's Serenity of Suffering a standard LP, and Rage Against the Machine's Evil Empire is here on CD. Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime II rounds out the CD side as an import.
Why buy from Relix
Relix has covered the full spectrum of rock and its harder edges since 1974. That history informs how this store is stocked: not an algorithm pulling whatever moves, but an editorial sensibility built over decades of listening. Alongside titles from labels like Rhino, Metal Blade, Atlantic, and Reigning Phoenix, the store carries the Relix Sessions series, live recordings produced by Relix and pressed to vinyl on the Relix Vinyl label. The selection reflects what the magazine has always cared about, which is the music itself.
Every title in this collection is new and sealed. Pre-order listings show a street date and ship when the label releases them. Vinyl ships in protective packaging designed for LPs.
