      We also thought that the vocals would be very hard to cover well and didn't want to ruin the performance completely by doing botched vocals.....

We were planning on playing a different song and were just playing Raining Blood as a rehearsal and our teacher told us to play that instead 😂 it was awesome!

    I did some light touring in my younger days as the bass player for a couple of metal bands and I was always prepared to rip out Anesthesia when a guitarist inevitably had to change a broken string in the middle of a set. Always had that Boss HM-2 and a wah in my fx chain ready to go just in case and they sure as hell got plenty of use!

    I also played Gojira covers in high school with my band 15 years ago. Glad to see today’s youth appreciates some good metal haha.

    I've been a metalhead for 30+ years, and seeing kids get into it and play it SO well warms my heart. You guys are awesome!

    Hell yeah. I was hoping someone was going to do the vocals, but still really good regardless.
