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 a new live album from Stone Sour. 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. 

The year is winding down, I have barely realized that it’s already halfway through December, and I’m probably not listening to much new music for the rest of the year. Stay tuned for year end lists (and decade beginning lists).
