That's usually done to keep folks from buying that specific version in leu of the preferred reasonably priced versions.

I once saw a delivery option for a smallish clothing company:

  • hang delivered by the owner, guaranteed to fit or tailored on the spot. $1000

I thought that was crazy

SOLD OUT?

Creating artificial scarcity to push your fans to buy an overpriced digital release?

Not very metal.

That's under the "cassette + digital" option tho, isn't it? Formatting kinda makes it blur into one block of text though

You are correct - here are both versions:

What's fucking my mind, is the fact that the digital album costs 666 and not at least a Vinyl album.

Normally the digital album is the cheapest option.

Also: Cassete + digital album cost 8$.

Is this some different kind of digital album? The descriptions on both are the same, for the digital album.

They want you to buy the tape.

They tried to sell the metal...

But the price of metal was too damn high

That David's Star also arguably isn't very metal

[–] distantsounds 1 points 8 hours ago

7 points, so it's like a pentagram but even more metal

For the dual cheek puffs.
