Listening Party Check in HERE

Some albums don’t just arrive — they land. And when a band like Megadeth announces their final studio album, it’s not just another release on the calendar. It’s the closing chapter of a four-decade legacy that helped define heavy metal as we know it.

That’s why Curious Collections is proud to be part of MEGA-WEEKEND, a nationwide celebration of Megadeth’s last studio album — and why we’re inviting our Bryan–College Station community to experience it the way it was meant to be heard: together, loud, and on vinyl.

Pre-Order Megadeth’s Final Album at Curious Collections

Megadeth’s final studio album arrives Friday, January 23, available on CD, standard vinyl, and indie-exclusive Glass Ember Vinyl (while supplies last). Pre-ordering through Curious Collections, the only independent record store in the Bryan/College Station area, ensures you’re supporting local music culture while locking in your copy of what will undoubtedly become a collector’s piece.

Pre-orders also matter more than ever for indie stores. They help us bring in deeper inventory, host better events, and keep Bryan/College Station’s vinyl community thriving. If Megadeth has ever been part of your soundtrack, this is the moment to show up for the record — and your local shop.

Join Us for the Listening Party

To celebrate, we’re hosting an official MEGA-WEEKEND Listening Party at Curious Collections on:

🗓  Friday, January 23
⏰ 6:00 - 8:00 PM
📍 Curious Collections — Bryan / College Station

This event is part of a limited national rollout, and we’re honored to be your local stop. During the party, we’ll spin the new album in full and bring metal fans together for one last communal first listen.

Exclusive MEGA-WEEKEND Extras

While this event is all about the music, there are a few MEGA reasons to come out:

• Autographed Megadeth poster — one lucky winner, no purchase necessary

• Exclusive alternate-cover slipcase — free with purchase or pre-order pickup during the party, while supplies last

• A room full of fellow fans celebrating one of metal’s most influential bands

These slipcases are only available at MEGA-WEEKEND listening events and will not be sold separately or reprinted.

Why This One Matters

Megadeth’s final album isn’t just a goodbye — it’s a reminder of why record stores exist in the first place. Albums like this deserve to be heard on real speakers, discussed in real time, and shared with people who care just as much as you do.

At Curious Collections, we believe listening parties aren’t about hype — they’re about connection. Between the music, the community, and the physical format, this is what being a record store in Bryan–College Station is all about.

If you’re part of the Texas A&M community, a longtime metal fan, or just someone who appreciates music history as it’s being written, this is one you don’t want to miss.
