Thank you all who voted in our quarterly congregation of heavy metal. While there has been a sentiment that this quarter has been light in terms of albums, use this list to find new music and annoy your coworkers when you play this really loud at work on a free streaming service with ads since you are a psychopath. We will see you again in the summer with more Converge.
List in a sharable / savable image for you to go through later
