The Black Crates

Vinyl subscription for the unhinged, the curious, and the musically obsessed.

This isn’t your cousin’s “get-a-record-a-month” club with Top 40 safety picks and polite vibes.

This is The Black Crate—Apocalypse Vinyl’s monthly subscription series for people who want to be surprised, challenged, and occasionally sonically assaulted (in the best way). You choose the Crate. We dig through the depths. What shows up is yours to spin, question, love, hate, and repeat.

Each Crate is hand-curated from our vaults of major and indie labels. Expect the unexpected. We’re talking protest anthems, goth nightmares, Peruvian funk, underground hardcore, deluxe splatter variants, and beautiful nonsense rescued from the brink of obscurity.

💀 Pick Your Poison:

• The Core Crate – the beating heart of Apocalypse Vinyl: a wild mix of indie, protest, weird rock, and the gloriously uncategorized.
• The Punk/Hardcore Crate – shouty, raw, fast, and very much not radio-approved.
• The Global Groove Crate – international sounds that destroy borders and algorithms.
• The Dark Crate – goth, post-punk, industrial, and everything that wears black on the inside.
• The Fringe Crate – outsider art, psych trips, spoken word spirals, and genre ghosts.
• The Collector’s Crate – variants, deluxe editions, and shelf-worthy sleeves for the wax snob in all of us.

📦 In Every Crate:

• Two curated LPs
• No duplicates during your subscription
• Free U.S. shipping
• Blind box format—we don’t spoil surprises
• Occasional deluxe sets instead of two individual records
• Sourced from major labels, cult indies, and underground artists
