Chunky Reaction to Gojira - Heaviest Matter In The Universe

[@manipreferchicken4083]

Flying whales, The art of dying, the gift of guilt, space time, From Mars, to sirius are all bangers you gotta check out. If you listen to from mars or to sirius listen to them back to back, as they transition directly into each other on the album.

[@m.ericwatson968]

They are great at being complex and straight forward at the same time and they can create some cool hooks from some heavy chugging riffs, great band

[@daniellehurrell6620]

You CAN'T not love this band! Thanks for doing this one!

[@NotWBT]

I originally didn't love this band as the vocals where hard for me to get into. After a handful of listens I fell in love. Not a day at the gym I can go without listening to them now. By far my favorite band. I can't get enough.

[@Edmundrs3rd]

For me I found the hard/extreme vocals were an acquired taste but now it's my favourite style of singing.

[@bigyodatheman]

Morbid Angel influence ALL OVER this one.

[@richjung9786]

I discovered this band late. This band is full of hooks!! Very heavy and progressive in their own way. Probably my favorite real heavy bands. You’ll notice they’ve been around for quite sometime but only recently are getting more attention. Their latest album is more accessible and less heavy than their past stuff. Their older stuff is along the lines of death metal and is absolutely brilliant! Supposed to have a new album this year 🤞🏼! And Mario (their drummer)might just be the best drummer in metal right now!!! Please keep doing more Gojira. My suggestion is esoteric surgery or toxic garbage island.

[@Edmundrs3rd]

I only discovered Gojira last year and have rapidly grown to become my favourite band.

There is NEVER. A late when discovering anything worth value

@S I consider those to be subgenres of heavy metal.

[@slantz49]

Amazing band live ...I hope to see them again soon ..or when we can !

[@TheAdventuresofTNT]

I was suppose to see them live last year with Deftones but Covid happened.

[@michaelkogut7661]

Drummer is amazing

[@Kareemate]

Best metal band on Earth.

[@roberthughes286]

Glad you finally did Heaviest Matter of the Universe bro. Kick ass song.

[@JemJam2976]

Gojira is also the Japanese 1954 title for Godzilla.

[@d4mdcykey]

Gojira is GOD. For the next one I'd recommend Flying Whales, it has a series of progressions that is absolutely masterful and brilliant.

[@manipreferchicken4083]

Hell yea, amazing song! Especially the groovy transition riff in the middle!

[@andrewbuddemeyer8432]

Gojira is the SHIT🤘🔥

[@thawolf5921]

Awwwww yiiisssss. This band is going to take you on a heavy journey

[@morlokkurak4763]

I saw them open for Amon Amarth and Dimmu Bogir years ago. I had never heard them before. I was very impressed. 🤘👍🤘

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

Recommend the Track "Remembrance" off their The Link album. Such a catchy Gojira jam. It'll make you move and groove. Most likely one of their most headbangin'ist jams

[@austinmartinez9053]

If you thought the studio version was heavy, then multiply that by a thousand with the live version. Specifically this performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/jHzZaoSddq2apLs In my opinion this is by far their best live performance of this song

[@jackson2363]

Subbed. Do more Gojira!!! Love it

LOL, I just watched another reaction to Gojira posted today and the guy was wearing the exact same shirt!

[@polamalu4320]

Saw them live with Slipnot 2 years ago. Killer show. How about a reaction to Underoath Catch Myself Catching Myself.

[@davidwalker4684]

Gojira can almost sound simplistic if you don’t appreciate how extremely difficult each and every part is because they tend to draw out riffs for many bars, if you don’t listen to the constant subtle shifts and lead work you might think they are just drilling. The brilliance is actually how they smoothly under the surface play an evolving roiling song

[@F13thvoorhees]

Welcome down the rabbit hole, you literally can't go wrong. 🤘

[@redinthesky1]

From Mars to Sirius, The Way Of All Flesh, and L'enfant sauvage are Gojira's best. Incredible musicianship, chunky ass riffs and powerful drumming that just has that extra zing to it :)

[@HKTimbo]

Excellent analysis 👍🏻👍🏻

[@megarocks911]

Yea a solid band, great reaction my friend ❤️. TaaTaa

[@maureenwagg5305]

You need to hear the album Fortitude by Gojira. Specifically Amazonia. Live at Rock in Rio.

[@shspurs1342]

This is great, but the live version even greater.

If you want more Gojira you gotta check out their live studio recording or “Global Warming”

[@dangerx7697]

My man t... Been out of pocket for a few months. Glad to see you're back with Gojira videos. They are the best live on planet Earth and of course go for theatrics and Pyro, you have to go with Rammstein. But Gojira is Flawless live... And just days are there new song come out on their new album being released on April 30th... Born for one thing. But this song... Title appropriate, it's probably the heaviest song in the universe... But this song like any Gojira song... You got to do live videos, they're alive versions sound better than the album

[@ccarsona2]

Great dialogue

[@luketotte6898]

Gojira was my favorite technical death metal band for years, then a band called orbit culture strolled onto the scene. The have the clean vocals of metallic and the growls and music of gojira, accept heavier. You might want to give them a listen. I suggest either mute the silent, saw or North Star of Nina. Great reaction!

[@Celatra]

Dude Gojira are NOT technical death metal lol

[@luketotte6898]

@@Celatra Idk bro esoteric surgery remembrance and explosia sound pretty technical to me. LOL.

[@Celatra]

@@luketotte6898 on drums sure, the kicks require stamina, but the Guitars do mostly fairly simple stuff They havent even been death metal since their debut album Want technical? Persefone got you covered

[@luketotte6898]

@@Celatra thanks for the recommendation. Their last raw death metal was terra incognita or the link. I’m more talking form Mars-sauvage. And if you haven’t checked out orbit culture, check that shit. The way people see gojira now is how orbit culture will be viewed in like 10-15 years. Count on it.

[@Celatra]

@@luketotte6898 i think they're a bit overhyped Basic thrash metal with Hetfield wannabe vocals and some not fiitting growling

[@derekk8523]

Gojira the axe live brixton academy

[@thoronthol1175]

Your reaction says it all.. and it’s worth your time to go check out the lyrics to this song. COMPLETELY positive, about opening one’s heart, and finding that the heaviest matter in the universe is love. Not what you expect, based on the brutality of the music.

[@OroraMonroe]

Sorry but no. Love is a beautiful thing but the opening lyric is... "Lie awake, I cannot move my arms and legs I'm paralyzed"..... This song is about astral projection or astral travel. He was in the phase of sleep paralysis prior to leaving the body. The Heaviest Matter is what keeps your soul inside of your body.. Their studio in New York named The Silver Cord is what tethers the soul to the body so you will always snap back into your body after leaving it I think you should read the lyrics again. ... The song Flying Whales is about what happened after Joe separated from the body. The From Mars to Sirius album is very Esoteric. Love is an aspect of this process but not what this song is about.

[@thoronthol1175]

@@OroraMonroe First, tone. Please try to be slightly yielding when dealing with music, which is a form of expression, which is subjective of course. Flatly telling me I’m wrong is a bit out of line.. like telling me that my interpretation of a painting is wrong. So, yes. Sleep paralysis. Yes, astral projection. Yes, the silver cord. I get it, and understand the mode of his journey, and love the telling of it. But the song isn’t strictly *about* astral projection, to me.. it’s about what is found through the experience (in my humble opinion). Check out the last verse... ‘Here in the center stands the light of love that never can be touched..’... in other words - love - the heaviest matter of the universe. Just one poor soul’s interpretation of Gojira’s art. Because it is subjective, I am right, and so are you. Whatever is happening ‘objectively’ ceases to matter as soon as any work of art is released into the public domain for interpretation. Even if Joe told me to my face that the heaviest matter of the universe (in this song) had nothing to do with love, I’d say ‘too late brother’.

[@karljans4807]

I think you'll love low lands by gojira

[@dangerx7697]

But man you need to school a lot of these other guys that do reaction channels. You know the ones, the ones that pause every 5 seconds and talk. You do it right that's why I watch your videos. You set up the band and the song to be heard and or seen , you play it through its entirety so everyone can enjoy your reactions to something you've never heard, then you Chit Chat... As usual T good job

[@josephm6320]

Should of did the live version!

[@jaredhochstetler9749]

I'm late to the gojira party, only a little over a year for me. But in that time I've heard their entire discography. I have heard many metal bands, but NONE are this dialed in, NONE.

Opeth, Swallow the Sun, Persefone, Insomnium

[@Tritoness]

Just so you know, Gojira is known to be very tight live, and i must say that 80% of their discography sounds much better live than studio. I don’t why, but studio they sound a bit dull, over processed to me, at least their latest two. They have very specific concerts where they absolutely shine. Wisdom comes (live Brixton Academy) Gojira Lizard Skin - Vieilles Charrues Clone (Studio) Ocean planet (Live Rio) A Sight to Behold (Live Vieilles Charrues) Blow me away you (Studio & The link Alive) Love (Live Rio) Embrace the world The link alive) heavy drumming in this one Oroborus (eurockeenes concert) Art of Dying (Live Vieilles Charrues) Indians (Live Vieilles Charrues) My last creation (studio) Gift of guilt live at Brixton academy In the Forest Link Alive I’d recommend to start of with Clone (studio version is the best for this one) if you want to continue the heavy route with them, otherwise gift of guilt (Brixton academy) and art of dying ( Vieiiles charrues concert) up next! Cheers!

[@AGDinCA]

I love the heaviness of this song, but I wish there were more clean vocals. I like the guttural growls, but I would rather have fewer of them, but articulately placed.

[@leonelsjanofwipper3418]

There are loads, like Art of Dying, Toxic Garbage Island, Oroborous, but try to get a live concert version. For some reason they are even better live than in the studio versions. L'Enfant Sauvage live at Red Rock for instance is a good place to start.

[@slantz49]

Cell live at red rock as well ..may be from the same concert ..amazing
