Record Store Day has just revealed the massive list of releases slated for this year’s event and we’ve singled out all of the rock and metal titles to make your life easier!

From classic rock and prog to death metal and drone to grunge and alternative… and so much more, there’s something for any and every type of fan.

When Is Record Store Day?

Record Store Day will be held on April 12, 2025.

How Can I Find a Participating Record Store Near Me?

The Record Store Day website has a list of participating locations.

You can search internationally, by map or by entering the name of your city, state, zip code or the name of your preferred record store.

The site notes, “Record Store Day does not give or sell the releases to participating stores. Each indie record store makes their own buying decisions and may choose to bring in some titles and not others.”

This means that not every record store is stocked with all titles, which are also limited in availability.
