Metal By Numbers 7/6: King Gizzard and the The Lizard Wizard Deliver the charts

Posted by on July 6, 2017

Metal By Numbers is a weekly column in which we look at the top metal sellers and debuts of the week.
 
Happy late 4th, hope you left a copy of the Declaration of Independence out under your American Flag Tree so that Nicholas Cage can come steal it and leave a copy of one of his movies (most likely The Wicker Man). Any who, I spent a few minutes trying to find another word that rhymes with ‘Gizzard”, “Lizard”, and “Wizard”, but it turns out those are pretty much the main three. “Scissored” is another one, but I don’t know how to properly implement that and the word alone will probably cause people to snicker. The point is that King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard’s second album of 2017 is our top debut for this week, followed closely by Dying Fetus.
