Hard n' Heavy

The Story

This store has been operating since 1991, inside the small shopping center on Rua das Laranjeiras, specializing in hard rock and heavy metal. It's a reference among collectors due to its custom orders, bringing hard-to-find and imported items directly to the client, a model that has practically become the store's trademark. The walls are covered with t-shirts, CDs, DVDs, photos with music personalities, and band vinyls, in a look that hasn't changed much over the decades. It remains active, considered an old-school relic of Rio's metal scene, with over three decades at the same address.
