Bandcamp Blowout: Best Albums For Around $5 Or Less
Album index | Top albums | Bottom albums | Album charts | Top lists | Staff picks


Thumbs up: +18
There are a lot of great albums out there, but that doesn't mean A) your wallet has to suffer or B) you need to resort to stealing. This list is here to both provide you with some excellent music for cheap and also help these bands make a few bucks in the process. If you are particularly into black (mostly of the atmospheric variety), sludge, and/or doom; you might be best suited just going through the collection related to my site, Metaltrenches.com, here or THIS GUY'S COLLECTION.

I'm freaking addicted. Bought like 50 albums in the past few months. But with some of them at only a dollar or two, you can't go wrong. I don't think I've spent over $8 for any single album.

Lascaille's Shroud has all their albums as name your price, their album "Interval 02: Parallel Infinities, The Abscinded Universe" was nominated for best Extreme Progressive Metal Album in 2014 and placed 7th in votes. I think it would be a good addition to this list.

Here's one that recently became free since they signed to Season of Mist: Barishi.

Some kind of extreme prog/black hybrid...not sure what to call it.

I'll check it out. So many albums I've added to the Metal Trenches site would fit here but I've been a busy little bee.

Those following Neurot Records on Bandcamp have probably seen this already, but, for those who haven't, recently they've announced:

Quote:

Music Will Get Us Through - Pay What You Can

Life is hard. People need music. We at Neurot Recordings have decided to make one album Pay What You Want on Bandcamp weekly. We hope this will allow people everywhere to still be inspired and uplifted by the original and emotional independent music that we offer, even if they can’t afford it right now. Those who have secure jobs and income can feel free to pay whatever they feel is fair or more. Stay safe and stay sane out there.

Pay What You Can: Another Neurot Recordings album offered as Pay What You Want on Bandcamp every week.

Examples so far include Amenra and Harvestman
