What a year. Not worth recapping, since everyone went through a lot of the same shit, but it definitely impacted the way I listen to music. I enjoy listening to music while commuting and/or driving, both of which I did significantly less. Also, the low grade trauma of *gestures broadly at the whole […]

I normally spend the weeks leading up to my top 10 scrambling to listen to new music I might have missed, to find that one gem that may have eluded me from earlier in the year or to catch a last-minute release. But when it came time to sit down and start writing, I […]

As each year approaches its end, we share our year-end lists highlighting the best of the best of the year. However, we were taken aback, realizing that not only will 2020 mark a new year, it also marks a brand new decade. It’s true what they say; time flies when you’re having fun, listening to […]

I went through something of a musical depression this year. There was a lot of great music that came out, music that I recognized was good but for some reason just didn’t connect with me. For a long time, mostly in the middle of the year, there just wasn’t anything that grew on me with […]

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week. For Thanksgiving this year I am thankful that I don’t have to travel anywhere.
