Greetings fellow Metal Maniacs!

We are pleased to announce that all new releases are priced at $8.10 for full-albums at the Metal Maniacs digital music store!  That's less than most digital retailers and you're getting a higher quality product as well (uncompressed WAV files!).  Individual songs still remain at the .95 cent price point.  We hope to continue offering new albums at this discounted rate to encourage your continued support and loyalty.  Please understand that the bands and labels in our store make more money when you shop through our store versus other retailers.  We are extreme supporters of the metal underground!
