Episode 441: Gojira, Paranorm, Celestial Sanctuary 2021 Album Reviews

45 Seconds from Awesome

We have a good dose of heavy for you this episode, including the highly anticipated new album from Gojira.  Unlike most times when promo materials say  “highly anticipated”, I think it is accurate in this case.  We round out the show with some Progressive Thrash and good ol’ groovy Death Metal.
