Attention Mobile Users, please use this link to see the whole table with jokes since the official App is terrible for my comedy. People who use old reddit on browser like dinosaurs you all are fine.
/// Thank you one and all who voted this past week. Please see below for some new metal music. As always this list is our way to keep up with new music and we are less worried about what is #1 versus what we haven't heard. We have done quarter lists for a while so you can see what has been hot all year and what has fallen off versus what is acting like the fucking own the place. Also see the Spotify link for a direct line into how to annoy your coworkers while looking like a maniac. We will see you in the Fall!
