This edition includes the one band that would release an album on 9/11, and a lot of other cool shit. To the metals…
Hollywood Vampires – Hollywood Vampires 
Genre: Rock
Origin: Los Angeles, California
Label: Universal
Buy now on Amazon.com
Alice Cooper, Joe Perry and Johnny Depp use their star power to gather a rather star-studded line-up of (mostly) old rockers and are dropping a (mostly) covers record. Names include Brian Johnson of AC/DC, Slash, Dave Grohl, Paul McCartney and more. It sorta comes off like Roadrunner United or Metal Allegiance, but one your dad would dig.

Limb – Terminal 
Genre: Stoner
Origin: London, England
Label: New Heavy Sounds
Buy now on Amazon.com
Dirty, fuzzy stoner metal from the metal motherland. They could have easily fallen into the trap many bands like them do in simply rehashing Sabbath riffs, but the band uses the stoner blueprints as a starting point and journeys through a wide variety of other sounds.
Sabbath Assembly – Sabbath Assembly 
Genre: Occult metal
Origin: Texas/New York
Label: Svart
Buy now on Amazon.com
Another really, really amazing band that uses old metal as a foundation, yet successfully transcends the trope of simply being a rehashing. This band is one I need more of in my life. They're proggy, spooky, and are able to showcase a wide variety within a record.

Slayer – Repentless 
Genre: Thrash
Origin: Huntington Park, California
Label: Nuclear Blast
Buy now on Amazon.com
Do I even need to say a word about this other than "Slayer!" with fifteen additional A's? I mean it's the first record since Jeff's death, the first since Dave's (second) departure, and of course has a silly album title. However, between Kerry and Tom, you've still got a Slayer album that should please fans than have stuck with this band the whole time.
