I reached out to every artist I've worked with over this past week and got permission to offer "Name Your Own Price" downloads for the vast majority of Realm and Ritual releases. These have been manually set for today and will return to $666 tomorrow.

I don't generally offer digital downloads but have contacted nearly every artist I've worked with over the past several years to offer "Name Your Own Price" downloads on the majority of the R&R catalog for a 24 hour window. This will also include the compilations and samplers I've released

Up to you! I can cancel and swap if you'd like. Otherwise, I will keep it as is.
