Scrape Records

This is not your run of the mill record store (You have been warned)!
Scrape Records specializes in only Metal music. The range that metal brings is huge and there will be music in this store for most everyone. Scrape stocks cds, dvds and actual vinyl records. This is on top of heavy metal merchandise such as t-​shirts. All prices in the store are competitive with other stores and online shops that stock this style of music.
My favorite part about this store is the Vinyl collection. Nothing sounds better than spinning vinyl and this holds true with Metal just as all other music styles. It is the one medium that really has not been beat. They have made it easier to play music and more compact but not better sounding.
Scrape Records also helps bring Metal bands to Vancouver for concerts as well. They have on many occasions brought bands into the store on the dates of shows for autograph sessions and meet and greets. It is always cool to meet bands from around the world in a one on one setting!
With most music stores shutting their doors in this digital age Metal lovers should be stopping into this store to support this wonderful small local business!
LONG LIVE METAL!

Ah, Scrape. Ever fulfilling the role of the embattled independent record store, and not only that, the independent record store with a distinct specialty. Which, FYI, is HEAVY FUCKIN’ METAL. Being that my tastes in the aforementioned genre are somewhat specific I don’t make the trek to the store super often, but when I do I’m always struck by the love and dedication (two of the most metal emotions there are) that clearly keep the place going. The stock isn’t specifically geared to any one stripe of metal, equal care is placed into carrying genre stalwarts, underground black metal, weird post metal and pretty much everything else that falls under the HM aegis. Norwegian Troll Metal? Yeah, they got that. Gothic Post-​Thrashcore? It’s over there, by Symphonic Crossover. Progressive Power Crust Doom? They have domestic and imported, take your pick. There’s even a smattering of 80s Hair Metal and hard rock in there, and the staff are always friendly and quick with a recommendation for everyone, be they newjack or oldschooler. There’s also a wide selection of hoodies and band shirts, all black and many with utterly illegible logos, as is the style. Pricing is reasonable, no you aren’t gonna find bargain basement tags, but if you had to wrestle the Fenris wolf, take a longboat across the mighty ocean and slay your way through hordes of Orcs to bring folks copies of the new Nördvägr gatefold LP, you’d charge import prices too.

its been a long time since I been to a record store were the people working knew anything about what the sell supper freindly and helpful

Been shopping there for years, Never thought about writing a review until now. I have a wide taste in music from pop, metal, rap electronica etc., however, never once felt threatened or ashamed about my lack of knowledge of Metal and I’ve always found what I am looking for and came out with bands I’ve never heard of. Even the other customers who are into metal hard core don’t make me feel stupid which is nice. Good non threatening environment. A bit pricey, however, you get what you’re looking for without the HMV annoyance.

Get your dose of hard rock and heavy metal music (Cd’s) and (DVDs) find most of the bands that HMV won’t cover; like Edguy, Hammerfall, Manowar, DragonForce, etc, etc… the prices are little steep because it is a specialty store for metal music. thrash, power, prog, glam, goth… and just headbanging music playing in the background. and you can purchase tickets to various metal shows that ticketmaster won’t cover…
You will be greeted by Jericho the in-​house canine and he’s friendly and doesn’t bite
AND NO PussyCat Dolls and Britney Spears found here… Long live metal!\M/ \m/
