I just stumbled across two sampler collections of metal that have become available for free download on Amazon MP3 over the last few days. Unfortunately, these collections are on the U.S. version of Amazon.com, and people outside the U.S. therefore probably can’t do the downloads. Maybe they will be available on whatever Amazon site, if any, that’s accessible where you are.
SAMPLER 1: Here’s what’s available on the first sampler, which at least US denizens can access here. (The track list on the second sampler is after the jump.)
SAMPLER 2
This next sampler is a compilation by Nuclear Blast, and it’s also free. The download is available at this location. Here’s the track list:
Downloaded! These are miles and miles better than the Metalhit freebies (which I was just ripping into over on PB) – thanks for making me take a second look and get these. Even the silly shit (Vampires Everywhere?) gets balanced out by Deicide, Woods of Ypres, Belphegor…
Agreed — both of these are so much stronger than what’s typical for this kind of thing, and many of the songs are from albums that haven’t even been released yet (eg, Wormrot, Agnostic Front, Graveyard, Havoc, Gigan, and more).
I had no idea Agnostic Front had an upcoming album…something to live for! 😉 Thanks for the tip!
Yep — “My Life My Way”, due March 22.
Hey..that song by Graveyard…is that the band from Spain because they kick ass
Nope — they’re from Gotheburg, Sweden — “psychedilc doom rock”.
Interesting..I have a friend who might dig that. Will have to check them out
Meant to write “Gothenburg”. Here’s more info about the Graveyard album:

I enjoyed the Metal Hit covers piece on PB just last night.
But its got a track by Winds of Plague….once something like that gets on your computer is like having herpes…you can never get rid of the taint
That was a genuine coffee-spewing-through-the-nose comment. I have to learn not to be drinking anything when I check the comments on this site.
Australia Lucked out! Maybe next time! Cheers anyway!
I call false advertising on sampler 1.
Vampries Everywhere are not metal.
I also call false advertising on Vampirs Everywere as there are not, in fact, vampires anywhere.
Funny! In the U.S., they call this kind of selling tactic “bait and switch”. What do they call it in England?
Fucking you in the ass with a ugly woman’s tit?
I’m just guessing The British have such colorful idioms…
Dude! I have to hand it to you — that is a very colorful idiom. And it does sound like something the British would use. Specifically, I’m thinking of the way Queen Elizabeth speaks in her private conversations. I bet she has used that phrase repeatedly, off the record.
She was probably the one doing the fucking….
For your next that’s metal…

For the record, my girlfriend sent that to me…
Maybe she’s trying to tell me something….
Clearly, she has already got you figured out. And yes, these will do nicely for the next That’s Metal.
