Good luck spending less than an hour in there on your first visit.ĭeath of Vinyl (6442 Boulevard Saint-Laurent): As the prices were also fair, Aux 33 Tours is the best place to go for your metal vinyl needs, especially for newly-released records. They do also have a used section but it isn’t that extensive.
I’m talking Pestilence, Metallica, Bathory, Entombed, Pentagram, the list goes on… Furthermore, in the miscellaneous alphabetical sections, there had to be at least thirty records for every letter, most of which I didn’t recognize. The store had a massive dedicated section for metal music and featured LPs from pretty much every large to mid-range band.
I was surprised enough to see Torture Rack’s recent release in there, and even more astonished to find some stuff that was practically hot off the press. While rummaging through the “new releases” bin, I came across Torture Rack’s Malefic Humiliation (released four months ago), Innumerable Forms’ Punishment in Flesh (released just under a month ago), and Dee Snider’s For The Love Of Metal (also released just under a month ago). However, it looks like Aux 33 Tours has got me covered. When I first got into vinyl, I presumed that I’d be able to find older and classic records in shops nearby but would have to suffer a hefty shipping and handling fee every time I wanted a newly-released record. New is a common theme with this shop, as they have the best selection of new releases I have seen in a brick-and-mortar. While some stores on this list have pushed through the Compact Disc (CD) era and the subsequent vinyl murder patiently awaiting its revival, Aux 33 Tours is one of the ones that opened as a result of the rising LP sales as of recent. Located on the bustling Mont-Royal Avenue, Aux 33 Tours has been around for just over ten years now. Here’s a list of Montreal’s top vinyl stores for building up your collection of heavy music and proto-metal.Īux 33 Tours (1373 Mont-Royal Avenue East): Such a citation is the reasoning behind its flourishing vinyl community which becomes evident when exploring the city’s many record shops. From clubs to cuisine to cat cafés, Quebec’s capital is world-renowned for being one of the most diverse cities on the planet. Its no secret that Montreal is Canada’s cultural epicenter.
