Record Store Day is the day of the year where labels and artists try to remind you that you can actually buy PHYSICAL MEDIA with music on it in a store. It's a crazy concept, but it worked for many years before the internet came along and changed everything.
The first Record Store Day of the year happens in April, and the second one happens on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving and typically, the biggest shopping day of the year. This year, metal is well represented with new releases from Metallica, Mastodon, Dio, Judas Priest, Korn, The Acacia Strain, Five Finger Death Punch and Faith No More.
