[@gluonpa6878]

twice

[@xenogorwraithblade2538]

Been jamming this album since it came out and I can honestly say I do the same every time.

[@xSociety]

The end of this song IS the beginning of the next song, "Vacuity". The ending is also a track being played backwards, so great ear.

[@durangocorral8023]

wanted to write this, comment need a pin :)

[@WishMount]

It's esoteric surgery (acoustic) played backwards!!

[@aaohknsn]

@@WishMount and it's used in the outro of Art of Dying as well

[@orangeunderscore]

It’s just a simpler clean guitar version of the intro riff of Esoteric Surgery. It also appears on the end of The Art Of Dying

[@theitalianstallion973]

how do u even say vacuity cause i still find it hard

[@darko1295]

Guys, it's ok to focus on the drumming as much as you do. Mario is widely praised as one of the best drummers in the world (not just metal too, just in general) and a lot of Gojira songs are quite literally built to empower his drum patterns. He went to a fairly prestige jazz drum school and was known as a prodigy and a perfectionist from a young age. Aside from Gojira, him and Joe also had a really underrated jazz fusion/metal band in the early 00s that is also a good showcase for his craft and versatility

You are in for a really good ride my friend!

[@alfredopadronnanez3804]

Same here. Just like they say, just when you think the song can get any nasty, it goes nastier, that shit and the groove blowed me away. Coming from groove metal, I needed something fresh but heavy and groovy at the same time. Gojira had it all.

[@brentulstad3275]

Good to hear my friend! I've been going deep on Gojira recently as well. I listened to The Link years back and some other random songs over the years, just casually. Not really a fan of the "death metal" stereotype or other bands that are often categorized that way, but after discovering Magma I couldn't deny or avoid their unique mastery and am an eternal fan now. I personally kind of approach their style as a "picking up the torch" from Pantera and infusing it with a bit more depth, thoughtfulness and melodically driven progress but all the nastiness and cathartic powerful anger that great "metal" deserves. In my honest opinion. So excited to see them next spring with Deftones!

[@OduThickness]

Welcome! I call this band life metal with a death metal sound. They are technical and groove in the heaviest way. Thoughtful lyrics and full band effort every album.

[@Donnielocke91]

When you explain what you mean by “nasty” trust me, we understand. Most metal heads will describe really awesome riffs, vocals, songs as being sick, disgusting, gross, dirty, etc. so you good lol

They were disgusting at Louder Than Life last weekend. Man, they always put on a good show.

[@xenogorwraithblade2538]

They put on amazing shows. One of the few metal shows I've ever been to where I was torn between fucking shit up in the pit and watching the absolutely psychotic light show. Their stage presence is fantastic too.

[@Wernstrom__]

I've always found the song structure of opening high intensity and ending sort of more calming to be deliberate in its craft. The esoteric surgery being unlearning and cutting out the toxic stuff humans hold onto. At first the song is brute force and fury. Through healing, time, and a lot of work the song reflects the peace of mind discovered in its sound. Obviously super subjective.

[@steiniey778]

About the mellow ending, on the album that same ending is played on the previous track The art of Dying. So in a way it is both at the end and start of Esoteric Surgery if you listen to both tracks back-to-back.

[@TheAskald]

By the way, it's the main riff of Esoteric Surgery reversed

[@georgewootten4428]

Isn't it played at the end of every song on the album?

You have GOT to do Vacuity immediately after this one, that ending transitions straight into it, and it’s the heaviest song on the album

[@MatthiasCorvinu]

Vacuity is my favorite song from this album. Sometimes with their albums, like with this song, you need to listen to the next song right away. They lead into each other very well. They make those lulls in songs to give a sorta break before beating you over the head with more heavy in the next song lol

[@matthewschenkel4300]

Vacuity kicks ass. its so different from their other songs. Just a long droning heavy, dark sound.

[@eldritchinterface7481]

If you notice the drums more, then talk about the drums more, it's all good. There's a reason people consider a band's drummer to be the backbone of all bands, from Jazz to Technical Death Metal. I've been a guitarist and singer for over 15 years but I always take heed to the drum-work over other roles in any new band I listen to. It's the main part of any music that gets us moving to the jam bruh :)

It’s funny that Ryan talks about the whole “inverse” thing for the ending of this song, because even though he was talking about just switching the ending and beginning, in this context if u take the ending of this song and The Art Of Dying, and play them in reverse, it’s the melody to the riff of Esoteric Surgery. U can find them on KZbin of those 2 endings and Wolf Down The Earth ending being played in reverse
