The art of dying by gojira! The drummer is an absolute beast. And this song showcases that

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks!

[@johnnywong5695]

Born in Winter. Oroborus. Gift of Guilt. Global Warming. All of the songs with tapping are absolutely phenomenal.

[@ja_kubeusz7342]

So now it's a perfect time to react to Gojira's another masterpiece Flying Whales. My recommendation is to hear live at Red Rocks version. The venue, the atmosphere is magnificent, futhermore you can see how each of the members is into the show. You've already witnessed it but it's never too much. Love the reaction, cheers 🤘

[@doncarlossr.]

Agreed

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks! Will check check it out. What a band it seems to be :-)

[@j.t.3798]

I'm with you, brother. This band is quite amazing and unique. The drummer.. my God, has to be one of the GOATS. I don't listen to metal, but I listen to this special band. So good. Incredible talent! Great reaction!

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks and I agree 100%

[@paulatreides6711]

well those french boys , Gojira, is just one of the best metal bands of the last 20 years ..they started in 96 as a more Death Metal Band ,meaning their early albums are even heavier ( "the heaviest matter of the universe "is the perfect demonstration of that ) but still with their identity and as they got older through the years they pushed more and more that atmospheric feel and got softer but still amazing ,the don't shredd or anything , they always have this minimalist approach and repetition in their riffs but it's well put together , they are amazing live ..they sound even better live .one of the best live metal band ever , they care a lot about the environmenent and their lyrics always have a deep meaning not to mention Mario Duplantier the drummer is regarded as one of the best metal drummer of the world so yeah you might like it . Some songs from 1996 to now , i recommend to check their live versions as well as often ,it sounds better ( well at least , the song of their first two album between 2001 and 2003 ), because they didn't have a lot of budget at the time ) The heaviest matter of the universe ( of course ) 2005- studio version or live at the vieilles charues in 2010 or in poland in 2019 or from that same concert at brixton ..but the video might not be available ,it depends of the country Clone ( very death metal ) 2001 ( live at vieilles charrues ) Love 2001 ( live in poland 2019 or rio ) Remembrance ( live from the link alive ) 2003 Space Time ( live from the link alive ) 2003 Flying Whales 2005 ( live at brixton ) BackBone 2005 ( live at brixton ) From the Sky 2005 Oroborus 2005 ( live at les eurockeennes ) Toxica Garbage island 2008 The art of Dying 2008 ( live at vieilles charues ) Esoteric Surgery 2008 wisdom comes ( live at brixton ) a sight to behold Vacuity 2008 L'enfant sauvage 2012 where dragons dwell ( live at hellfest ) Mouth Of Khala 2012 Explosia 2012 stranded 2016 Pray ( live at red rock ) 2016 Low Lands ( for the the passing of their mother ) and many others .

I've been discovering Gojira during the quarantine too and to sum it up, any song they did during their poland concert in 2018 is absolutely crazy. I feel like as far as singing goes, Joe's voice has gotten more colour in the recent years and it makes the live performances that much more enjoyable. I still think that Silvera is the song that represents Gojira the best, as in all of their aspects condensed in a 4min song.

[@thoronthol1175]

I just want to reinforce what other commenters have said.. their discography is incredible, and yes, they’re refreshing! That’s a great way to put it. And I’ll say - they get better and better as you listen to them. Check out Wolf Down the Earth (there’s no official video). And check out lyrics, even if it’s after the reaction on your own time. What separates Gojira is the intelligence and passion enmeshed in their music. Enjoy your journey!

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yeah I'm excited to see what more they got.

[@sergetanner2393]

I just saw your comments on Gojira. I would say you hit it exactly by saying that you have to be special to create something unique. You need to see them live, their Music is on point and flawless.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Yeah I’ve really liked their newer songs a lot

[@hc1358]

Gojira : Pray at "Red Rock" . A bunch of power and ambiance. Most beautiful live thing I've heard for 1 or 2 years ....

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Cool! The sound was a little off on that concert the version I heard of Flying Whales at least.

[@hc1358]

@@dannytheswedishmusixian1513 Yeah, may be, but believe me it is worth the listening. The version is a bit different from the album (almost twice as long) and really full of soul and impressive. The album was released after the Duplantier brothers' mother passed away. You can feel it in the song. Almost like a sacred mass. But I can understand what you're saying about the sound being a little off ... I can hear that after your comment.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

I see. Yeah I just don’t want to get a bad first impression of s song cause the sound is unclear.

[@matteomuscas7060]

"L'enfant sauvage" live at red rocks is so disgustingly heavy and monstrous. Cant really wait for you to react to other tracks too, theres just too many... Thats when you know a band is really, REALLY good.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

I'm excited to hear more...what a band.

[@robiduff]

On point man, the way they incorporate the drums, the vocals, its really unique. i've been a fan for years and they still give me goosebumps. They are incredible talented, and live, holy shit its soooooo tight and powerful, its just an experience like no other

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks! Yeah I'm quickly becoming fan. It seems I am more drawn towards their newer songs so far.

[@odell4625]

I'm so new to Gojira. Everything I've ever heard from them is awesome, and yet for whatever reason, they were that great band I slept on, until I just up and downloaded their whole discography a week ago. So far my faves of theirs are Yama's Messengers In the Wilderness Try those out!!! I can't believe I waited on Gojira, especially since my ears hear them as halfway between the Meshuggah and Opeth I've been blowing up for 20 years.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Cool! Yeah I love Meshuggah(have not listened to all their stuff) in shorts bursts like one or half a song at a time. Seen them in concert but the sound was rumbly and not distinct so it was kind of a mess(no fault of the band of course, just a shitty venue).

[@andritti]

The same happened to me, but with Opeth... ;) Better late then never, right, bro? Take care

[@butters7791]

FLYING WHALES should be next, you won't regret it!

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Seems like I can't go wrong really...starting to love this band :-)

[@ZrGNeW]

One of my favorite bands too, Mario Duplantier is a beast! Got to see them live in 2014 and their live sound is flawless! Great reaction man! Hope you keep going with Gojira, and if you do, i recommend any of these: The Way of all Flesh, Esoteric Surgery, The Art of Dying, The Cell, Only Pain, Vacuity, L'Enfant Sauvage, From the Sky, Clone, Remembrance. Clone and Remembrance are from the first and second albums.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Fuck, I agree the gift of guilt is my favourite song of all time. It's literally something else, how gifted and special do you have to be to make something like this. How deep/reflected are you as a human being to be able to utter the words; "the gift of guilt".

Hi from France, thx for support Gojira, our Best national band ( to me ^^ ) , try " Gojira - Remembrance - The Link Alive ", a F**** old song recorded live in Bordeaux France 2008_2009 , i was there and ...WoW it was a great great show , at this time they played in small hall, we could get on stage with musician to fly over people ....really !!! , security was so cool with this ...damm i feel old now hahaha

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Tritoness]

So much to recommend for this band, discovered them 4 years ago, and still loving this band, together with Tool my favourite metal bands. Gojira started out as Godzilla, they started at very heavy, but it’s oh so good, and changed their name in 2001 to Gojira, the japanese version. I would stay in this era of Gojira. So i suggest you to have a look at The Art of Dying - Live at Vieilles Charrues and Oroborus - Live at Eurockéens concert, and than gradually go to some older, heavier Gojira. Both these concert performances are outstanding. Cheers

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

Oh is that what it means? I was more thinking it was Shakira's angry brother, hehe. Thanks for the tune tips.

[@CrYou575]

Not my usual genre but I thought I'd check put what else you're reacting to. Some parts towards the end I really liked once I got tuned in. That's the beauty of reaction channels, you get to cross boundaries you wouldn't normally venture to.

[@dannytheswedishmusixian1513]

This is a French band, and the drummer and singer guitarist are brothers, Duplantier brothers ;-) I can recommand you three artists : Or Jinjer with "Who is gonna be the one", Devin Twnsend with "Kingdom "or "Deadhead", or Avatar with "Hail the apocalypse" ;-) We leave the shores to see the mountains rising A distant impression growing This judgment creates the pain we hold Destructive intentions that serve no purpose but the end of us all These vultures from the past Coming in all the hells and worlds, the time has come Delivered from their eyes Embrace, suffer, destroy - the gift of guilt The shame and sorrow, self-condemnation Fill all the gaps and the spaces, unyielding Bestowed upon us, devastating power We're building connective tissue to a maze of lies We're left as starving orphans, the vital core is gone Our sins are all over and over again we swallow We're sick and tired when this wind blows, the reflex is insane We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love In all the hells and worlds, the time has come In all the hells and worlds, the time has come These vultures from the past Coming in all the hells and worlds, the time has come Delivered from their eyes I'm leaving this behind - the gift of guilt
