Blasting quality of service

I always loved and will love Nuclear Blast for the quality of products and service.

Ordered a birthday gift for a person that I love and it was definitely the right choice.

Thanks a lot for the quality of the music and the service. 🤘

Disappointing experience with limited edition preorder

I preordered a strictly limited edition of In Flames - Clayman vinyl months ago from Nuclear Blast, and while a shipping label was created, the item was never dispatched, even month later. Despite reaching out multiple times, I received no response (!) from customer support.
For such a reputable label, this kind of communication and fulfilment failure is frustrating, especially for collectors. I expected much better.

Good service, vinyl often with seam splits

Easy ordering experience, good variants available directly however I find more often with NB that the vinyl arrives with seam splits which is more of a manufacturer issue, but feedback they should definitely be giving to their pressing plants. Vinyl never arrives damaged in any other way so frustrating to often find this

client of Nuclear Blast for many years…

I have been a client of Nuclear Blast for many years buying CDs; DVDs and band merchandise.
Website easy to access and deliveries always well packaged and speedy. Only problem (not Nuclear Blast's fault) is higher delivery fees due to Brexit

Order didn't arrive

I ordered in about 160 euros worth of t-shirts on 29th of May 2025 (late night) with priority dispatch and all.
The order is still somewhere in the universe, they said that the package has left their store, but on the tracking nothing has shown since may 29th. Its 8th of June now as i requested a refund.

Edit: its 17th of july. Im still waiting for the refund, since my package has not arrived at their warehouse.

Long wait was worth it.

Unfortunately, the vinyl was delayed by two months due to production delays from the supplier which was rather inconvenient, but nothing worth crying over.

Nevertheless, everything went well otherwise from the Nuclear Blast team, got all the info I needed regarding the shipment and info.

Then, with some technical difficulties from the local post office I finally got the Behemoth ILYAYD vinyl.

As usual, the Nuclear Blast team was professional and quick to answer all questions that I had in concern.
This won't sour the experience for me though, sometimes things won't go as planned, nothing you can do about it.

Tentative review at the moment.
Tha package was sent back to the sender without a reason.
Contacted the assistance at NB, but stil no response after 72 h.
