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 new music from Lacuna Coil, The Devil Wears Prada, and many more! 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.
As of the time this is out, I am still in Colorado for work. Tonight I’ll be flying back to Pittsburgh though. By this time I will also have just seen Godsmack at the Budweiser Events Center in Loveland, Colorado.
