March 27 - April 2 Weekly Metal Recommendations

Starting this year I will no longer being do a comprehensive list of all releases. If you need even more metal in your life, I get all my info from https://www.metal-archives.com/ from which you can find upcoming releases, and from http://metalstorm.net/home/, from which you can find both upcoming and past releases although it is not as complete of a list compared to metal-archives.)

(I’m still using the rating system from our “New Releases” list although I will likely no longer be listing anything below a +2 unless it comes from a very well known band)

-1 - not for me or just bad

+0 - not particularly interesting or not that good

+1 - worth checking out if you like the style

+2 - interest peaked

+3 going on my buy list

+4 already bought or pre-ordered

Some stuff I missed from March 26

Thanks to what I’m assuming was a bad April Fools joke from Metalstorm.net I was unable to check them for something maybe not listed on Metalarchives
