dcochran4 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I’m coming through the DFW area from OKC and I know there are plenty of record stores in Dallas / Fort Worth, but which ones will have the best extreme metal selection (ie: black metal, death metal, etc). Here in OKC we have a handful of record stores, and there is only one that carries a somewhat decent selection of metal, all the others aren’t even worth a stop if that’s what you’re after. I know there is a stickied thread about record stores, but I didn’t find anything about what type of selection to expect at record stores in the area. Thanks for the help!

jmpatrick Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Too bad you're not going to make it down to San Antonio. Hogwild Records is one the better metal record stores I've been to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up Dead Red Queen Records. He doesn't have an actual space, but he has a a distro and sells exclusively metal at shows around town. E-mail him and I'm sure you can figure out how to check out his inventory. Tell him Juan sent you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deathbyart Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've found some gems at Josey's jut saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youspinmeround Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 ForeverYoungRecords is the worst record store I have ever been to. Its like the size of Amoeba in LA but its so overpriced its insane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batnoises Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Unsure how good records’ metal section is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admerr Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I agree that Dallas record shops are pretty weak. Good Records’ stock is meh. Josey is overpriced. Forever Young is incredibly overpriced. Best shops in the area are Docs in Ft Worth which still hasn’t reopened and Direct Audio which is online only (warehouse is in North Dallas). 14 Records on garland road is worth checking out for vintage stock. He also has a selection at Curiosities in Lakewood. Prices can be high but he’s willing to make deals.

dcochran4 Posted March 11, 2018 Author Share Posted March 11, 2018 Thanks for all the recommendations. I went to Josey’s and didn’t find anything I was after. I went to Born Late which is a record store/tattoo parlor in Fort Worth and I found a really good selection of metal! Deathbyart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabwalker Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 DFW doesn't really have a metal/punk/hardcore record store, which blows my mind. I've considered opening something like that but I just don't know if there is enough interest for something like that in DFW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow_Tree_Records Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I’m going to be in Dallas later this month. Any chance there are better record stores now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnywreck Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 We had to close at the beginning of the pandemic, but Mad World Records is online and you could browse through the inventory and select local pick-up. You technically get to pick up at the old location, just no ability to thumb through. We used to get crazy kudos on our punk and metal sections, so I'm hoping you can find something you like! madworldrecordstx.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 I was bummed to see you guys had closed last time I came through Denton! Doc's in Ft. Worth is my favorite in the area. I rarely have any luck at any of the stores in Dallas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
