Apologies to those of you that have been notified multiple times for the same video: For whatever reason, KZbin has been having trouble processing this upload. I suspect it may be because of my poor connection, but either way, the problems look to be fixed now. But looks can be deceiving... just as before, if you notice anything creepy or kooky in terms of technical issues, please let me know.

[@Goniloc]

I’m especially sorry for the person who celebrated the fact that they were “finally early to a Goniloc video”. If only you knew how early you really were...

Goniloc has, without a doomy, bleak shadow of a doubt, become over of my favorite channels on KZbin in such a short time. He never ceases to effortlessly amaze and entertain me with his wit and style. He's truly a breath of fresh air, both in the KZbin community AND the metal community.

[@cufemeialapascut]
