I always buy music from my artists because they deserve my money and I actually beleive in supporting artists. In terms of recent physical copies, I had preordered Periphey's "EP" Clear a month or so ago, and it comes out tomorrow. Getting a CD and Poster. Before that was Humanity's last Breath Deluxe CD and TesseracT's Altered State CD.
This whole "Uhhgh I'm just gon pirate my favrit music" is gross. If it's really your favorite, why aren't you supporting the person who made it? People are acting more and more entitled to their music, and it's loving disgusting. Artists generally make music for themselves, not you.
