how to get restock alerts for Nuclear Blast
Nuclear Blast sells direct as well as through shops, and the direct store is where the label puts its own exclusives: colourways limited to mail order, box sets with extras that never reach retail, and die-hard editions pressed in a few hundred copies.
Because the store covers the label's entire roster, not one band, it lists constantly. That's useful if you filter it and unreadable if you don't, which decides whether a label store earns its slot or just fills your feed.
what mail order gets first
Mail-order exclusives
Colourways sold only through the label store. Shops never receive them, so there is no second retailer to fall back on.
Die-hard editions
Bundles with extras, pressed in small numbers and gone during the pre-order window, not after release.
Roster-wide listings
The store posts for every band on the label, which is why a band keyword matters more here than on an artist store.

how to actually get one
Filter by band first
A label store without a band keyword sends you everything it sells. Set the two or three bands you follow and the feed becomes useful.
Catch the pre-order rather than the release
Die-hard and exclusive pressings are claimed during pre-order. By release day the interesting variants are long gone.
Watch both stores
The EU and US stores stock different ranges and run different exclusives, so neither covers the other.
questions
How do I get Nuclear Blast restock alerts?
Add the Nuclear Blast stores, set a keyword for the bands you follow, and MerchVault sends a push notification when matching stock appears.
Which Nuclear Blast stores are tracked?
The EU and US mail-order stores. The coverage list on this page is read from the live store list.
What is a die-hard edition?
A bundle sold by the label with extras beyond the record itself, pressed in small numbers and usually only available direct.
Why track a label and not a band?
Because the label store carries pressings the band's own store never lists, including mail-order exclusives. For metal releases it's frequently the only source.
