Last time I was on a black metal cd hunt, I found it in Finland on a site and with their VAT, cd's are 40.00 USD. I passed. Sweden isn't too bad, pretty fair actually.

What's better?

Free top quality health care and college?

Or cheap CD's?

Health care and college of course. But then I won't pay 40. for a high res SACD here either.
Always have radio. Lotsa black metal next door in Norway. Stuff reaches their top ten lists often too.

I would consider paying $40 to not have to listen to a black metal CD.
