New & Noteworthy: August 9th 2019 – We Are Not Your New Releases

Posted by on August 9, 2019

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 the brand new Slipknot album! For last week’s 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.

Clutch last week was a ton of fun, and Killswitch Engage always tight. I’m still reminiscing over the ELO show. And, of course, like everyone else I’ve been listening to the title track to Tool’s upcoming Fear Inoculum, and I’m really enjoying it.
