Metal By Numbers 4/20: Sales in reverse

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
 
Blah blah happy 4/20 bro blah blah. We don’t have a whole bunch of doom/stoner bands on the debut list this week, though the two that are present are particularly good ones. Also, as you will soon be able to tell, we only have partial sales information for this week and should be back to full functionality next week with charts positions and a whole lot more bands.
