Trustworthy Distros

[Kerrick]

I thought it'd be a good idea to compile a list of the trustworthy and good Christian metal distros.  Over the years, I've been aware of a fair bit of fraud - even within "Christian" metal distros which is just shameful...  However, that's generally been the exception to the rule and there are numerous distros where I feel good supporting.  I'll start with a few GOOD distros I'm aware of, but please let me know what I should add to the list!  Any additions should be stores you've personally done business with and can vouch for.

Vision of God Records in the US is pretty good. I've ordered several things from him (one guy, I think), and although the shipping can be slow I've never had any issues with him.

Rottweiler Records is another one that I've ordered from. Haven't had any issues, but it looks like their site is currently under construction.

Great idea for a topic. I remember when a bunch of people got burned by Divine Metal Distro went it went out of business. Luckily I didn't have any orders placed with them at the time.

Oh yeah I was going to add them but their site was down and wasn't sure if it's just a temporary thing [hopefully] or not.  I'll add 'em.

Two other ones I used to order from a lot are Facedown Records and Solid State Records (when I was in my metalcore and deathcore phase). I never had any major issues with either site, and their customer service was generally good.

I had an order in with Divine Metal Distro shortly before the site went down. I never got my order or my money back. It was a shame since that was a good site to go to for Christian metal.

Oh bummer!  I ordered from DMD numerous times and never had an issue except one time he sent me the wrong CD by accident.  He sent me the right one, but I had to pay for the shipping to send the wrong one back to him which I thought wasn't the best customer service...  But I know you're one of many who had their money stolen by DMD...

It really sucked since some of the titles I ordered are no longer available, or if I can find them the prices are ridiculous. Oh well, at least there are plenty of distros today to choose from that are very reliable.
