Try finding them the today, while randomly while watching a Drummeo video. Instant deep dive.

These guys.... playing on 6 strings "only" tuned down a bit, still one of the heaviest, most face-melting bands out there"

I'm Bored i bet you've never heard meshuggah a lot

[@leebrennan5790]

Ghazian Hindami I've heard plenty of Meshuggah, and I agree with that guy! Smart, heavy songwriting always wins for me. Gojira >>> Meshuggah

[@herpderpinson6117]

Oof Backbone heavier than Meshuggah stuff? If anything, only heavier than their thrash metal era stuff, cause their newer stuff is heavier than Amy Schumer... Plus IMO L’Enfant and Heaviest Matter are heavier than Backbone

[@jacobbrede7097]

Marius Meyer thats what you get when you have good musicians who know what they are doing when it comes to songwriting

I got to meet these guys last year. Nicest fuckin dudes. Wouldnt even think they play the heaviest music ever just lookin at em.

I've got a unique story and hardcore obsession with catching a specific huge musky on a river for two years straight. Well, I FINALLY CAUGHT IT, and this was my theme song. I rewrote the lyrics a little bit to this: Huge tunnel ends in light Through hollows where they gather See massive shapes of flesh Swimming giants in the clear The mightiest comes to me I hook, my reel's wide open This musky starts to fly Slowly moving, reeling in

Water of chaos Have invaded all space The flood on earth again I have to find the whales That once did guides us To dry lands of life I won't despair I'll break this dark all around Under the heavy sea I'll search the flight of whales Beneath the seas I searched And had a different view Of us on earth The sinking ship of men But it's beyond the stars I found the place Where they were And they finally came to light Over the winds They dwell in light Like the arrow in the sky I found myself on higher grounds From up here For I see them in flight Now I can see the whales Looming out of the dark Like arrows in the sky I can't believe my eyes But it's true Huge tunnel ends in light Like banks of clouds they gather See massive shape of flesh Swimming giants in the clear The mightiest comes to me I'm on the wing, wide open They teach me how to fly Slowly moving in the air So much told with no words at all Powerful presence for only speech Breath Over the winds They dwell in light Fly

[@VMP666]

I can never make up my mind about my favourite metal act, it's always either Gojira or Lamb of God. Seen them both live here in Poland and both gigs totally blew reality away. Magic and awesomness happens on their gigs through the medium of distorted guitars, double bass, growling and flying whales.

@Arkansya I thought they were big in France. This is saddening news. Such a phenomenal band. Originality is at such a ridiculous premium in the music industry these days, and Gojira continues to impress time and time again on that front. Buy their CDs, buy their shirts, go see them when they tour in your neck of the woods, tell your friends about them. Support this band! They deserve way more fans/support than they have.
