Metal By Numbers 3/27: Fallujah light the way

Posted by on March 27, 2019

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
 
So you couldn’t get Metallica tickets, huh? Yeah, me neither. Not because of bots but because I don’t have the time or money to fly my ass across the country to see this thing. I remember when I was in high school and some friends thought S&M was lame. So I whipped up the golden comeback of “No, you’re lame” and listened to it anyway. Good on you if you manage to get yourself there though. Meanwhile, there’s not much going on over here in chart land. The month will finish out with Megadeth, Devin Townsend, and Whitechapel as far as big names go and then the next two months will bring a whole slew of albums I’m excited to hear.
