I believe this song was about their mothers battle with cancer. She died during the writing of the album
Damn, I didn’t know that, that’s such a shame 😕
I believe she was very proud of her sons. Had she not purchased them those first Metallica records for Christmas when they were young, this bideo may not even exist. Hail Mother Duplantier
Blow your mind with From The Sky (live at Bordeau 2009), by them...6 minutes of no stoping double kick
one of my favorite Gojira song , because of the subject mainly.so emotional and beautiful and yet so underrated !!! a bit like "born in winter" wich I hope you'll react to pretty soon
yeah very emotional song , about the death of their mother ,it's basically her that's is represented in the video going in the afterlife.
That makes sense now, considering the somber tone throughout!
Greetings from New England...When Gojira pull back just a bit they write some of the most atmospheric metal out there...Magma was Gojira's Black album where the songs were a bit shorter and groovier...Mario Duplantier is an alien on the drums 🤘🧐✌️
See, the Black Album is the only Metallica album I actually enjoy, so that sounds great to me lol
They had me waiting the whole song for a jumpscare that never came.
Loved it Mark great review thanks l will listen to more from them. Im sure you will also.
Oh for sure!
Thank you for the reaction. Give a try to the Way of All Flesh Live Garorock. This one is absolutely impressive in vocals and dummer work. One of their best live for sure
First time hearing Gojira. Not sure if this is a typical song/video from them but It reminds me of John Murphy's soundtrack work from 28 Days Later in places. Thanks for the video, Mark.
It’s… there’s usually less singing, more shouting. The drummer is absolutely fantastic, and the guitars usually have some weird shit going on, but they’re very good. Check out the song Stranded, I did a video on it. It’s bloody brilliant.
This video have be film in the house where Mario and Jo have grown, in the south west of France. The girl with the umbrella is theirr cousin, who really look alike their mother who just past away during Magma procduction, and you can see a blurred pictures of her at the beginning of the video. Btw, its the only song in all their dsicography where you can here french word:
"Par delà le ciel, par delà le soleil".
Thanks to react to this to rare and precious gojira song 🤘👏
It was a beautiful song, even before I knew its meaning, and now it’s even more lovely!
Obscure fun fact, theres also a song (a bit interlude-ish one Id say) on the Terra Incognita called On the B.O.T.A. where you can hear Joe saying "Babel d'escaliers et d'arcades. C'etait un palais infini". If Im not mistaken its a verse from french poem, Rêve parisien. Its a really niche song tho, other than this and Low Lands its true that theres no other french phrase in their lyrics if I remember correctly
@MotorhitPL, damn you right!!! Totally forget this one , salute because on thé B.O.T.A is really "particular". And you right , its from Rêve Parisien by Charles Beaudelaire 👏👏
So glad you enjoyed this song... Thought you would enjoy the mood and emotion in this song .
Cheers🤘
I have to agree with your analysis that they do many things well. And as you and others have said, they are a damn moody band as well. Which is great listening when the moods they do is what you're looking for. And yeah, dynamics are key to great music (see Day in the Life from the Beatles).
Yet another great reaction, rock on Mark!
Thanks man! You’re like… my most vocal hype man at this point 😂
Great stuff, in my opinion. I love how the singing manages to stay tonally grounded despite the instrumentation seemingly tempting the singers to go hardcore. It's a welcoming contrast. =)
It builds really nicely, completely agree on it needing that climax towards the end which is still well balanced, they don't go too hard.
The singing reminds me of Loic Rossetti of the Ocean!
Yeah I feel like if they had hit their normal levels of heavy, it would have been far too much of a shift in tone, but the way they did it was perfect.
@@markabusireactions aye, also not staying there for too long, bringing back the singing after a short while. Nailed it.
The Way of all Flesh live at Garorock up next! (heavier Gojira though ;))
Unsure if you know, but the vocalist (Joe) and his brother (Mario- worlds best drummer) lost their mother to terminal illness while creating the Magma album. The house in the video is the house in which their mother lived. They have a truly world shattering interview claiming that they still had to finish the songs after she passed, and often would start crying at the same time as they recorded in separate rooms.
Very true hearted musicians and their lyrics are intensely introspective and applicable. Even their most experimental and heavy early albums like Terra Incognita explore a truly very deep theme in an honest way. The Way of All Flesh is the most serious and deeply explored album I've ever come across lyrically, across all genres.
Side note, Joe is a very skilled vocalist as far as knowing when and where to change styles, and the dual vocals are his fairly unique 'pitch screaming' over his clean vocals. Not many tricks just 2 layers! A good song to demonstrate his pitch screaming ability would most likely be "The Axe". It is a very heavy song, with tasteful and smooth breaks for chorus. Mario's drumming is on FULL DISPLAY. Lyrics are an absolute must for all Gojira songs.
I didn’t know that, when recording, but I do now! Thank you!
Apologies for the time of this comment, depending on where we are located,@@markabusireactions , but the song "Born in Winter" would do very well for your channel, and follows almost exactly as this does, with the slow burn intro (viewer friendly) and massive pay off in the end! Best regards! -some guy from South Dakota, USA.
@@jordanjoestar8839 you’re good, it’s currently 9am and I’ve been working 3 hours lol. I’ll get that one on my list!
Please check out where the dragons dwell live at Hellfest for some more impressive drumming from mario, you won't regret it.
such an emotional song. my favorite one remains "l'enfant sauvage" maybe you could give it a try it's really awesome.
I think I did that song? I might be wrong though
@@markabusireactions maybe you did but I can't find it ! I've watched all your Gojira reactions and they are great.
@@samladh7592 I’ll try and make sure I get to it soon for you then mate ☺️
@@markabusireactions thanks a lot that would be great !
I think Born in Winter would be perfect song to follow this one. Or you can go in totally opposite direction and listen to their all time masterpiece (in my opinion, although its a common opinion among Gojira fanbase) which is The Art of Dying. Heavy, stupidly technical yet still incredibly beautiful
Edit: Quick disclaimer tho, Id avoid the Veilles Charrus live version of Art of dying. The most popular one and its a really good performance from the band, but the mixing is pretty poor. Drums are too square and too loud, this song in particular actually shines the most in the studio version i think
I love these types of metal songs, but i want more. I've like Born in Winter, Low Lands, Stranded, (intro of) Flying Whales and (intro of) The gift of guilt. I like the ones which aren't too heavy, any recommendations for the ones I've listed?
Thanks
@@8800store So when it comes to Gojira generally the more recent stuff you listen to, the more melodic music and clean vocals you get. Their older music is much more extreme and has more death or black metal elements. The closest vibe to the stuff you mentioned Id find in Another World, Amazonia, The Trails, Silvera, Magma (the Magma album's title song), The Shooting Star or The Chant. The second group of songs Id recommend is more like The Gift of Guilt, so it has a lot of melody and less heavy, more emotional parts, but also heavy and more old Gojira style parts, like a heavy bridge or sudden tempo change. Those would be Oroborus, Global Warming, Pray, L'Enfant Sauvage (title song), A sight to behold, New Found, Into the Storm, Our time is now, Born for one thing or The Axe
I miss when Gojira was an actual metal band...
I don’t lol
define metal
@@paulatreides1354 a solid material which is typically hard, shiny, malleable, fusible, and ductile, with good electrical and thermal conductivity (e.g. iron, gold, silver, and aluminium, and alloys such as steel).
Dunno how that helps here tbh. 😂
Listen to Grind or Sphinx from Fortitude and tell me again that Gojira is not a metal band lmao
@@jez_77 Or listen to the entire link album or From Mars to Sirius. When you go from producing entire albums of prog-death to only a song or two of prog-death on an album you're not a prog-death band anymore.
