New vinyl August 2026: 8 records for your collection

Summer is slowly ending, but the vinyl haul is not. August 2026 is packed across every genre, from Brazilian thrash through indie and funk to alternative rock and hip-hop. Some are fresh releases, some long-awaited reissues of classics. We picked eight records that just landed in our shop.

A classic that belongs in every metal collection. Beneath the Remains from 1989 is the album that put Brazil's Sepultura among the world's thrash elite. A raw, fast and uncompromising ride that still sounds brutal decades later. Now it is back on vinyl.
👉 Buy Sepultura – Beneath the Remains

For lovers of laid-back indie. Salad Days from 2014 is the album that made Mac DeMarco the king of slacker rock. Lazy guitars, a warm sound and a careless charm that plays like a Sunday afternoon. It comes on coloured vinyl.

The greatest hits of the greatest rock band in one place. Forty Licks is the 40th-anniversary compilation of The Rolling Stones, mapping their work from the 1960s to newer songs. Now it comes as a limited 4 LP edition on 180-gram multicolour vinyl. A piece you simply have to own.

A fresh release and a hefty dose of darkness. Chapter 2 came out on 14 August 2026 via Nuclear Blast and is a direct sequel to the album that marked Marilyn Manson's return. An industrial, provocative and uncompromising sound his fans expect. You get it in an indie edition on pink-red swirl vinyl.

A vault treasure for every funk fan. Timeless is a brand-new Prince compilation that came out on 28 August 2026, bringing rare and previously unreleased recordings from across his whole career, from 1977 to 2016. A unique chance to hear a Prince you have never heard before.

A piece of alternative rock history. This live recording captures The Smashing Pumpkins at a concert in the Cabaret Metro club in Chicago on 14 August 1993, at the time they exploded with the album Siamese Dream. The raw energy of a young band at its peak, now on white 2 LP.
