Relapse Records’ Full Catalog Now Available On Bandcamp

Relapse Records have been one of the few well known metal labels to actively use Bandcamp. Now Relapse has become an even bigger supporter of the “name your price” online platform, having just uploaded their entire catalog on their page.

Relapse’s Bandcamp page now features music from 122 bands, including Baroness, Dying Fetus, Pig Destroyer, Red Fang, Revocation and many others. Not only are they offering high quality 320k mp3 or FLAC downloads of albums from their artists, but also free streaming and select free downloads. In addition to the catalog from their current roster, Relapse has created another page for alumni (including Mastodon, Neurosis, Nile, High On Fire, The Dillinger Escape Plan and others). Albums from these past bands will also be available for download with select streaming.

Bandcamp has been showing lots of potential for growth, with recent reports suggesting that the platform is helping fight piracy. The service has been helping many unsigned bands expand their reach online, but maybe more labels will eventually follow Relapse Records’ (and others like Candlelight Records) lead.

    I really hope so. Bandcamp is a fantastic platform.

    Definitely a good thing, but every album I clicked on was $10. I’m willing to pay about that or slightly more to pick up the CD at shows of my absolute favorites, but the rest would do better at half the price or name your price.

  • Kylesa’s new album, Ultraviolet, is streaming online at Pitchfork. Check out the album, as well as some pretty awesome visuals, here. The album will come out on May 28 on Season of Mist.

  • Unsigned & Streamed vets Anciients, who’s Season of Mist debut Heart of Oak is out now, have landed the opening slot on the Lamb of God tour. They’ll be playing from May 16 – June 10. Check out the dates here.

  • Sinestra Studios (who very often provides Metal Insider with some killer live photos) is hosting its very first art galleria and metal show on Saturday, May 25, at The Knitting Factory in Brooklyn, NY. Tickets for the event are onsale now.

  • Louna has premiered a new music video for the song “Business” with Crave Online. The extravagant and politically themed music video comes in support of  the Russian hard rock group’s new album, Behind The Mask, available now via Red Decade Records and MEG/RED.

  • Unsigned & Streamed alum Pheroze has released a video for the song “Today I Belong To The Dead.” The song appears on Pheroze’s recently released EP, Ennui.
