Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
I hate to continue to be a downer after the death of Riley Gale, but the death of Chadwick Boseman continued the bummer train only four days later. Two cases of very talented people gone far too soon. So, like many of you, in times of trouble I turn to music. And holy hell, that new Unleash The Archers record is a banger. The fact that its our top hard rock/metal debut of the week is even better. Whatever other misfortunes come of this year, at least there’s good music.
