Get your pencils ready for when you screw up rewinding them.

Cassette Store Day, Record Store Day's rectangular sibling, will be taking place across North America on October 17 this year. The offerings aren't particularly metal this year, but a few solid groups managed to sneak their way into the event! Below are what metal and rock releases will be out this year.

DownDown III: Over The Under (Down)
DownDown IV Part I (Down)
DownDown IV Part II (Down)
FistulaVermin Prolificus / Ignorant Weapon (The End Records)
KylesaSpiral Shadow (Season Of Mist)
Kylesa Ultraviolet (Season Of Mist)
MotörheadBad Magic (UDR)
Self Defense FamilyGerman Industrial Ballads (Bad Paintings)
Various Artists Sabbath Sorta Sabbath (Under The Gun Records)

According to the Cassette Store Day website, the Sabbath compilation is "a tribute to the masters Black Sabbath!!! Featuring: The Shrine, Zig Zags, Fogg, Banquet, Goya, Babylon, Endless Bummer, Glitter Wizard and more!!!"

I like that there's a Cassette Store Day, honestly. It's a fun little idea for another format that's making a bit of a comeback, so why not do some limited releases? Plus, if you're wondering how cassettes are made, check out this awesome documentary-style video Bloomberg Business did on an oddly thriving cassette factory here in the United States!
