Since it seems myself and gutter have been finding/posting quite a few free album download sites lately, i think we need a topic. ;) Below are sites that host/support free album downloads.
Evilsons Hosts their ep from 2002 for free. Click on "Sounds". This Ep is in english although the band is Finnish, and is quite good.

We at Go-Kart Records want to make it perfectly clear that the RIAA does not represent the views of all record labels.
We feel that only by embracing technology can we gain from it, and that a battle like the one that the RIAA is fighting can simply not be won.
Angels Heart Offers their album for free. Click on MP3's on the right. It wil ask you for some friend's email addresses.
Either enter some, or just put some fake ones like [email protected]. Either way, it wil llet you download the songs. This band is quite a good band, check them out.

Okay. Here's the deal. We are giving our mp3's away for FREE. That's right. Not one or two but all of them. Yes we spent a lot of time on this record. Yes it cost a lot of money to produce, record, mix, and master. Then why? Because we think music should be free.
This Page Offers a free Latvia punk/hardcore/ska online sampler/cd. I'm not sure how good this is, i have yet to hear it. EDIT: I just started downloading these files, and all the songs are high quality 320 kbps mp3s :D
