Hot damn, how about that alliteration in the title, huh? Also: hot damn there's fourteen debuts this week. April is definitely off to a monster start with all these albums, and there's only more to follow in the coming weeks, including Deftones, Ihsahn, Aborted, and, most recently, Babymetal (which we know you're hyped about). One thing is for sure about 2016: we're going to be seeing a lot of weeks like these.
