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 The Black Dahlia Murder and Abysmal Dawn, a live Myrath album, and more. For last week’s new 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.

Quarantine Week 5: 4/20 has been canceled. At least new releases weren’t. Physicals are a little harder to get in some places though.
