Just finished watching the new Godzilla vs. Kong movie with the family and Gojira released a new video today so today's Metal Track is The Chant off of their album, Fortitude, which also dropped today. I'm more of a fan of band Gojira the band than the Gojira movies.
Exploring Heavy Metal and all its glory. Heavy Metal is often misunderstood and thought to be just a bunch of guys banging and screaming when in fact it can be extremely thoughtful, intelligent, and sincere. Expect some throw-down-head-banging, chill mood metal, and gloomy death metal that you're probably not going to hear on the radio. On the weekends we'll mix things up with a Weekend Wildcard and an Easy Like Sunday Morning Track to get you over your hangover!
