That's Not Metal

The Album Club Pack is back for a second year as we look at Linkin Park's experimental A Thousand Suns, Primus Sailing the Seas of Cheese, the sleeper crossover influence of Iron Age's The Sleeping Eye, and cower beneath the unreachable pinnacle of caveman horror death metal meatheadedness that is Mortician's Chainsaw Dismemberment.

Machine Head add new members, the metal world rallies around James Hetfield, Bloodstock announces it's first 2020 headliner and there's new albums to discuss from The Menzingers, Gatecreeper and The Darkness with an Album Club on AFI's controversial Crash Love opus.

We lead with a huge look at Ghost's Impera in our March reviews as Papa guns for the bigtime, with Vein.fm, some right jokes with Sabaton, Midnight, Camp Cope, Soul Glo, Helpless, and Véhémence, as well as Rammstein's return.
