New & Noteworthy is a weekly column in which we highlight some of the newest rock and metal releases coming out each week. This week features new music from Trivium, Dance Gavin Dance, Katatonia, and many more. For last week’s new releases you can check out the last New & Noteworthy, and for the latest sales numbers Metal by Numbers. Be sure to follow us on Spotify to get this month’s New & Noteworthy Playlist, updated every Friday with the newest metal releases.
Quarantine Week 6: Changing the number in this is strangely the biggest grounding pound for me in how long this has been going on. I don’t like it.
