Lyrics:
You were told to swallow crawl and hide
Victims of fear and deception
Get ahold of yourself rise above
The better part of you, immortal
May this purple spring flow into your soul
Exhausting all these black holes inside
Wake up to the sound of doom!
Let this chant ring in your bones and lift you up
Get strong
Leave the mud behind and climb up the sky
Wake up to the sound of doom!

The better solution I said was mean "make Taiwan get rid of the old ROC constitution so we won't clam Tibet and the whole China even Mongolia are our territory anymore", which's your argument at the beginning. Btw, although got very limited capability, we're still took refugees from Tibet, HK, Chinese students from Tiananmen massacre, for a small country that under the risk being spied and invade d, I think it's far more than "never helped".

It is a natural development of things that the group, who made a career out of preaching, now literally has preaching in their songs... PS: I 'm not saying anything about the political situation depicted in the video, about which I know very little. But making heavy metal about these things has absolute 0 impact, while at the same time it capitalises on cheap emotional reflexes and gives a fake sense of accomplishment of something noble. This is the well-fed, western European man's idea of revolution and political activism...

And while they stand behind ecological causes and cry all too easy the word "genocide" (which btw. is a disgusting trivialisation of the word) I sincerely hope they don't participate in huge electricity-consuming events, like festivals, touring with airplanes, transporting huge amounts of gear through continents...

[@f3arbhy]

@@Cheximus Gojira, with their song Amazonia, has pledged it's entire revenue, along with some a rather successful auction campaign ( featuring many collectables from many famous artists), to benefit indigenous Amazon tribes. Also, with this song, they are spreading the word about how some sections of our world is treated. I am from India, and I was not entirely aware of what the situation was. Also, the current government in India is not particularly entertained about the whole refuge situation. Experiencing how badly these people were treated , atleast to me, has given a new perspective about the whole situation. And that's just me; I am sure many people are seeing or hearing about these things for the first time. It influences them. So yes, thoughts counts.

[@Earthgazer]

oof. If millions of people are unaware that the CCP imprisons Tibetans, education may be in bigger trouble than I imagined.

[@f3arbhy]

@@Earthgazer well, it is not about being unaware of. For example, you might be aware of the fuss that seaspiracy documentary made, which actually convinced quiet a lot of people to be a lot more cautious about where they source their fish from. It is not because they were unaware of these things - but these documentrys / artforms jolts you back to reality. We all are 'aware' of the Uyghurs and Armenians and what have you, but it is an entirely different thing to perhaps be in their shoes for a few moments. Maybe you are someone who feels their agony, perhaps you are someone who spends a lot of time thinking about the social situation of the world. But the sad reality is that, not everyone is living the same life. I am ashamed of my blind eye towards these things, but i fight my own battles. I was honestly moved by this song. I am sure alot more are. And when was the last time your education system taught you about the plight of Tibetans ??

They said that during the recording of Magma obviously they were going through a lot of personal emotional stuff. However, after that album they became more popular than ever, things were going great for them, Joe got married, had kids... Things were going personally well for them. So it seems that they turned their attention to problems of the world instead, and instead of just writing an angry album, they tried to write something that manages to sound hopeful. It feels like the right sort of music for where they are in life, both as an established band and as grown up individuals.

As a South Indian, I had always wanted to climb mountains. When i was 18 I went to the Himalayas and got a glace of how paradise on earth can possibly seem, far away from buildings and material stresses. I had begun a life changing entry into listening Metallica. Later that year I performed on stage for the first time. Linkin Park - I've Done. Life changed after this. With the passing of time and tastes, I encountered Gojira very soon and I listened to this song for the first time as I climbed Chamonix in France. It was majestic. True justice to my Gods of Metal. Freedom is a beautiful thing. This music video brought even more to my experience to this song. I came to Gojira for learning the Art of Dying but stayed because of songs like Chant.

(presumably) Joe's still doing his fairly oldschool slow fade out on least half the album... so it still feels like it's in good hands :) i got my own tweaked version of the album down to "48:32 - duration" trimming little bits here n there... distilled some might say... it starts off with a merged Fortitude + The Chant... which i really want to call THE FORTITUDE CHANT... (7:18) ... i feel like the band is still hesitant to order the album like you might expect from a concept album etc etc... (instead focusing more on singles first?) so i ended up with this revised list of shorter + EQed + clip fixed* tracks... (by EQed, i mean i barely did anything... +0.8 DB around 80Hz ... and 5kHz + was tapered off just a little gradually... (i like to hear Mario + Jean-Michel a little more) (less ear fatigue listening to it 24/7 lol, sounds the same essentially, perhaps a tad cleaner) ------------------------------------------------ Fort + Chant (***/****) 7:18 Amaz (*****) 4:59 Storm (****) 4:48 Born (*****) 4:17 Grind (****) 5:30 Trails (****) 4:01 Another (*****) 3:23 Found (****) 6:32 Sphinx (****) 3:58 Hold (***) 3:47 i'd share the results considering my satisfaction with them, if only it wasn't potentially going against the band's wishes...

@@vaughnblaylock6069 ​ @Vaughn Blaylock Not sure if this is trolling but I'll bite.... Genocide is a tool that can be used by both sides of the political spectrum to whichever government is in power at the time. It was used against European Jews, ethnic Armenians, Bosnian Muslims, The Yazidis, Tutsi minorities, Indigenous Americans, and dozens upon dozens of other ethnic and religious groups that were deemed by the ruling government as either subhuman, invaders, or inferior to the general population. Currently there are 3 going in the world which are the Rohingya in Myanmar, the Uyghur in China, and the Western Sudanese in Darfur. Any government can carry out a genocide as long as the general population doesn't resist against it. So to say its only a tool of the left leaning political ideologies is preposterous...
