Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
It’s another week with a shorter debut list and a couple of other noteworthy albums have dropped off. However, next week will see a round of heavy hitters, including Cannibal Corpse, Liquid Tension Experiment’s first album in over 20 years (!!!), and everyone’s absolute favorite band that no one ever makes fun of: Greta Van Fleet. Yes sir, nothing makes me enjoy doing this column more than continually posting about your favorite bands.
