I'm hitting the one in Harvard Square but there are two others nearby just in case.

The one in Harvard Square seems to have the best selection of metal. Then the one in Burlington. The one at Fresh Pond has a weak metal selection.

I like the Burlington one but the last time I was there, which is admittedly around 2 years ago (so this info may very well be uber dated), they didn't have a section devoted solely to metal; the one in Nashua, NH does (the one I frequent, aka).

Heh. The selection at all three seems to me very similar. Fresh Pond tends to have more $10 albums that sell higher at other stores.

None have a dedicated metal section. Harvard Square has the best selection, but as Zephyrus said, Fresh Pond is the cheapest.

Like I said, make the extra trip to Nashua, New Hampshire! It's probably like an hour and a half away from you guys but it has a big metal section!

 

[Zephyrus]

The one in Newton Upper Falls has a substantial Metal/Hardcore section to itself, and I've found some gems there too.

But I'll be sure to check out the Nashua store next time I drive up to Maine myself.

The Internet has a better selection than every Newbury Comics though

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah but I love the feeling of going into record stores and shopping in reality other than just perusing a website and waiting a week (plus in some cases!) to get my CDs. I also like used CDs and purchase them nigh-exclusively.

 

[cookiecutter]

Oh I agree, I prefer buying from stores, but I am never going to find Devourment or any of the other more underground stuff I like in Newbury Comics.

That's because it is the 'internet'!

Yeah I've never seen Devourment, but they had Unmerciful's new album!

 

[Hatebreeder]

Being that my collection is still relatively small, I can easily go to a store like FYE and the like and find something I want. I usually won't buying anything, though, if I don't really want it, just in case I find something like that elsewhere.

EDIT: Recommendation time:

Cryptopsy - Once Was Not: Yay or Nay?

 

[cookiecutter]

Yeah I've never seen Devourment, but they had Unmerciful's new album!

I think Unique Leader stuff is the only Brutal Death you'll get there.

Descend into the Absurd fucking rules

Indeed. I'm starting to get into some other Fleshcrawl now.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Their album Made Of Flesh is great.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Their Demigod and Demilich covers fucking RULE.

 

[cookiecutter]

Fleshcrawl are German right?

 

[CF87]

Their album Made Of Flesh is great.

What I have heard from it's cool. Fleshcrawl's last couple are more swedish death metal sounding.

... and I just noticed they do a Demigod,Demilich, and Slayer cover. I can't wait to hear these. Impurity and Bloodsoul are not to much different from Descend.. except the structures are more pop like.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Yeah they did a really good Demilich cover!

From my post pages and pages ago, I have also checked out Dark Tribe - In Jeraspunta - Die Rueckkehr Der Tollwuetigen Bestie. Its very good, I especially like the vocals. One of the tracks towards the start of the album rules - I'm trying to find it at the moment, but the sound on my computer is totally different to the computer I listened to it on last night. I think it was the second track "The Seed" though. Thanks for the rec.

I would imagine people who like Dark Tribe would also tend to like Portal (aus). I don't particularly, but it is similarly chaotic, but less audible (a little mudier) and more obscure.
