The Week In Metal - Week Of Mar 23 - 29, 2020

I was going to write something about social distancing, stay-at-home orders or even the possibility of martial law but once I saw today's list with over 50 positions filled with records we'll most likely talk at the end of the year I changed my mind. There's already enough COVID-19 coverage on every damn channel so, pour yourself a glass of whatever floats your boat, relax and let the music take you to the place of peace and serenity (yes, heavy metal can do this!).
