If you missed Part 1 of “The Metal Monday Top 12 of ’12” here it is . All caught up? Good because we’re rolling on with Part 2! Are ya ready? Great! Here we go: 6.

Joe Duplantier sounds as enraged as ever […]

Normally I wouldn’t review a single here in the hallowed (?) halls of Metal Monday but I felt that the sheer magnitude of the people involved in Gojira’s “Of Blood And Salt” merited a little more time.

Then “Of Blood And Salt” […]
