[@2smart871]

"Fun" fact: The outro is as long as an average human can hold their breath until they drown.

[@Kyuken_C]

Don't wan't to question this, but so you have a source for this?

[@2smart871]

The outro starts about 8 minutes and 44 seconds into the song which means that the duration of the outro is aproximately 70 seconds. It depends on the person, but most people can hold their breath for 30 seconds to 2 minutes. On average 60-70 seconds.

[@SimonHelling]

Really?

[@horaciomarie1178]

Well if it's for real it's genius

For me it's a tie between this outro and the outro on DOWN - Bury Me In Smoke (especially live versions)

[@alx_p_]

In an interview Joe Duplantier (singer guitarist of Gojira) said something I find really True and it's a kind of summary of your Journey into metal music. He said : "at first when someone Listen to Gojira's music He feels like it's mostly noise and it's a destructured music, but if that person give another Listen He begins to find a sense and a beauty to the music" (I tried to translate from french)

[@jeffreyjayallnix]

True... Heard them first time with Metallica 2015 and it sounded live a lot like noise... Later I approached their tracks and now they are one of my favorite prog/tech/death bands :)))

[@tigran-iii]

Gojira is one of the most melodic metal bands I heard, and I listened to quite a lot, haha and it's death metal, man

[@jeffreyjayallnix]

@@tigran-iii most melodic? :D what about power metal, heavy metal, symphonic metal, symphonic/melodic death metal... (and also a lot of metalcore bands are more melodic :D)

[@tigran-iii]

@@jeffreyjayallnix won't argue with your statement, that's why I said "one of the". Listen to the lullaby cover version of "gift of guilt", that's what I mean

[@mattiasnordstrom86]

There is no sound that can be confused with Gojiras. Unique to say the least.

[@t-rizzy208]

[@carlaaa_rs]

And that's one of the reasons that makes Gojira my favourite band

[@Sasquatch33]

I think sepultura sounds a little similar but only for some songs

[@adanibo]

Spiritualism has a huge place in their music. I'd say the nearest bands/artists to them would be Devin Townsend, Deftones and Tool. Not musically, but on what they aspire to pass on their music. It's not a musical point of view but it has a huge influence on what they sound like

[@Celatra]

Except for sepultura and morbid angel.

[@mike50145]

The drummers name is Mario Duplantier. Remember the name. He’s quite possibly one of the greatest drummers of his generation. The band as a whole is fantastic. They are so special. Listen to The Gift of Guilt by them. It’s a veritable masterpiece.

[@danielloewen2855]

The guitarist/singer is his older brother Joe Duplantier. You may have known this, but just in case you didn't.

[@anothersoldier3420]

Gojira are the real masters of Metal, everything they produce is just so unbelievable great, I definitely hope to see them live once this Corona Shit is over. Also I suggest the band Ne Obliviscaris for the letter [N], their song „And plague flowers the kaleidoscope“ is mindblowing

"This makes me wanna learn to play drums" Exactly the same I felt the first time I heard Avenged Sevenfold's Scream, back in 2007. Watching The Rev play and sing pushed me up to become a metal drummer myself, one of the best decisions I've ever made. So, if you can, give it a try, it's funny as hell!

H: Heaven shall burn - Endzeit (with Awoken intro)

[@mitchwijnen9975]

Definitely with the (Awoken) intro before it. It really adds to the song. There are few intros to songs in metal that really add, but this one is my number one... Really sells the punch when the song hits!
