Gojira is like red wine. When you get your first taste, it's messy and doesn't feel quite right. But the more you try, the more you discover the subtleties and the genius behind it, until it becomes an actual treat.
My cousin kept telling me for years to listen to these guys. I have no idea why I'm only just now checking them out. All i can say is that im probably gonna be spending the day going through their discography. That drummer is fucking inhuman!
that feel when your dad walks into your room and asks "wtf are you listening to?" you ask disappointed "is it that bad?" and then he replies "this is fucking great"
Hell yeah man! I ended up in a wheelchair earlier this year and have been since . One of the things that made me the happiest ive been in a long time was when i saw Gojira in october 💕
Son: "Dad, why is my sister's name violet?" Dad: "Because your mother loves violets" Son: "I see, thanks dad." Dad: "No problem, Gojira - The Art of Dying"
@@arandommaggot4963 the joke is that his mother loved violets so they named the child violet And his father loved this song so they named him by this song(he implies that he loves that song) I hope your comment wasn't a joke
I have a signed stick. I caught it at a concert in Albuquerque after his drum solo and he signed it for me. Also chatted up Joe (lead singer) for like a 30 minutes while he ate a sandwich.
It was just me, my brother, and my friend. It was over an hour or so after the show ended, and it was a small venue (Sunshine Theater) and we were hanging out by the back entrance. He wandered out eating and we sorta approached him and he was super laid back, just stood there chatting outside the door while they moved equipment. Such a humble guy, really. He was so nice and honest. Told us he couldn't find his phone and had never really realized how much he was attached until he didn't have it. It was a great glimpse into his life.
probably because all of their songs are in english.... That sounds like a smart-ass comment. But I have a DvD that gojira sold to me of them touring in france. Even in France, their songs are in English. But yet their intermissions are purely french. Its so quirky that i love it.
I really think english is not a problem for those who listen to this kind of music. But I agree, that's pretty ironic : Just a few french people seems to know Gojira, compared with the worldwide fans
Yeah the intro, I wonder what it would've been if there was like Joe screaming "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAART OF DYYYYYYYYIIIING" While a bunch of kids are eating cereals lmfao
Carlos Luhmann At the beginning I thought "Fuck this dude just killed my favorite track" and now I'm screaming like "IIIIIIIIIII WANT PRINGLEEEEEEES" in my flat when this song start x). Thank you sir (y)
First time I listened to this I actually shed a tear, and people say metal can’t be beautiful. This song, global warming, dawn, born in winter, and low lands are some of Gojira’s most emotional deliverances
Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat losing contact with the living Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain don't see anything real in the game The tension is building constantly No reason just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork I try to keep an eye open And I realize I haven't closed my eyes in a long time Neglected emotions lead to catastrophic voyage on the other side I have been given so much stress and lack of confidence I've been given the gift of so small hope deep inside I haven't closed my eyes in a long time, I am trying I cannot stomach these forms and colors anymore but I'm here to continue, after all I have been through I try to keep my eyes open, I am realizing This life in death more precious than anything I won't bring no material in the after life Take no possessions, I would rather travel light I'm of this kind that kills all day but I don't know yet how to die Art of dying, is the way to let all go Within I practice in the secret of my soul My shape in the reflector has now for ever, a life on it's own
My unwritten Law; The lyrics of Art Of Dying are getting screamed to represent the anger of this song. If it cant be screamed because its written, CAPS LOCK
I could listen from 5:50 to the end for the rest of my life. This band is such a gift to metal. They sound authentic and unique, two things that are really missing in metal
This is about ego death and the constant spiritual battle of killing the selfish part of ourselves. For bettering both the world and ourselves. People think I'm me liking metal means I'm really rebellious or angry. And mabye I am internally angry from some things in my past but I always saw metal as a message for humanity about the realization the we are all fucked and all we can do is trust the non selfish part of ourselves because that is all that matters in the end.
Oops I think this youtube account is under my husband's name. Need to get my own. I found them by accident and it was love at first listen. Gojira is for me like several epochs and episodes flashing before and behind in an instant, some mesmerizing moments, but also some where they could improve. They however don't disappoint. OMG these guys are so awesome in their own right, and there are many themes to go on. It's in my favorites.
This band is absolutely astonishing. The way they can make you headbang with their killer riffs and tempo changes, but at the same time flail your body is exstasy and saddness when the melodic parts come in, and all that in the same song. It's pure talent, may they live to make music as long as they can.
Such a masterpiece! When Joey screams "AAAAAAAART OF DYYYYYING" it's a nearly phychedelic experience... Very, very strong song. The outro is also amazing.
@@J0SHUAKANEgrindcore has zero tribalistic cool intros like this, i only ever see elitists on gojira videos, none on meshuggah vids or any other bands they get compared to, gojira is the best of the best when it comes to metal, more brutal than underground death, and more emotional than any metal band, elitists like you ruin metal as a genre
To make the intro easier to comprehend, it goes // x-x-x-x /// x-x-x-x /// x-x-x-x /// x-x /// x-x // x-x // and then // x-x-x-x /// x-x-x-x /// x-x-x-x /// x-x /// x-x /// It switches from the last //x-x// being x2 to x3 each time around. Hope that helped a bit.
i am a relatively new gojira fan but there is a special story about this song.. i was on vacation when a friend played this song for the first time. it went straight to my heart and i got goose bumps even on my head. i didn't knew that my grandmother was in fact dying in that very moment... RIP... it gives me chills every times i listen to that masterpiece
Just became a fan. These guys are so talented. Better late than never. Glad i found them, or they found me. Thought i would never find a place in my heart left empty when Pantera ended.
ha...i felt the same...discovered them in 2006 and have been spreading the word to everyone since then telling them to watch how this band explodes....and it's happening and well deserved too
And that's piece of damn good metal. That's kind of music my big bro introduced me with, and I;m still in love with it. Unfortunately my brother passed this year......this song will always remind of him....I miss you, brother :( R.I.P., my big bro.....
The soothing riff from 8:45 to 9:54 is actually a riff played backwards. The original riff is a beautiful melody I obtained by playing that part backwards using an app.
It's actually the intro riff to the next song on the album "Esoteric Surgery", but played down quite a bit. Here's a link to the outro before they reversed it! ua-cam.com/video/Vk2OCOUCgiw/v-deo.html
The section of the song up until he starts singing is very interesting to me, cuz I believe that they wanted to capture the PROCESS of dying. The section tells the story of a person who is in the process of dying, and these are the last few minutes or moments of this persons life. Maybe a patient in a hospital, or someone who had an accident, or someone having a stroke or whatever right. 00:00-00-19 : It starts off with just the claps (?) and that's where this person realises and feels that something is SERIOUSLY wrong, and the hum represents death, cuz the hum is so obscure and you can't mistake it for anything else, so this is where the idea of dying gets in the persons head but he's trying to convince himself that he's fine, and coming up with reasons and explanations 00:19-00:57 : This is where the clock kicks in and more sounds are being added, as the intro progresses, death also progresses and this person is starting to realise that he's dying, and it gets harder and harder to find other explanations to what he's feeling, hence why the clock becomes the backbone cuz he realises that his time is out, and as more sounds gets added and it gets louder, the more he realises that he's dying 00:57- 01:10 : This is where everything else stops but the clock, and this is the exact instance where he realises without a doubt that he's going to die soon, and he doesn't know what to do, cuz how could he? We humans can't imagine death, so he freezes out of fear? Terror? Sadness? Confusion? Regret? Who knows, maybe a human emotion that we have yet to discover. 01:10-02:16 : All instruments kick in and they come in hard, just like his realisation of dying, the instruments represent his thoughts and emotions. Cuz they're just a giant mess and battle, he's feeling all of the emotions above and many more at the same time, cuz he knows his life is coming to an end 02:16-forward : Now he starts singing, and the whole tempo of the song kinda slows down to a very weird, sound? And when he starts singing he kinda sounds "off beat" in a way, it doesn't sound like it's structured with the song and that's on purpose, cuz he's dying! He doesn't care, or is even able to stay on rytmh, he doesn't CARE about small issues any longer cuz he's dying, he wants to give you his last words and these are it. This is how I think they thought when making the song, and I think it adds a whole new dimension to the song. Thx for reading LOL!
@@predatorhunter3169 I agree. This isn't Dream Theater. I don't think they had an actual "story", they didn't calculate it. I think they just felt it, other than the odd-rhythm. They just wrote and excellent song.
Nah man, if you think this is the best you haven't heard (just kidding man, I'm not even sure how long this song has been out, but in my book it's a timeless masterpiece)
Lorna Shore - To The Hellfire.... It will rip your soul out and feed it back to you. Actually no...it won't feed it back. It will keep it, collected, clinging to its last drops of existence for millennia.
“I won’t bring no materials in the afterlife. Take no possessions. I would rather travel light” is such a beautiful line Edit: the lovely @R Neumann reminded me of a line I excluded while baked. Cheers my friend!
Listening to Gojira has been one of the major pleasures of my life. Truthfully my favorite metal band. The raw rich beauty speaks to the bone. The passion and emotions of a spiritual being on a human path. Just epic. I hope everyone’s life aligns at some point like this and to listen to this as a reflection of our innermost humanity.
Julian Harker It’s NOT unrelated. The comment was made as I found out of Vinnie’s passing as I was listening to this song for the first time. It seemed appropriate to comment about the death of the drummer of the greatest band EVER. You must be a Pantera hater!?!Lmao 😂
This song is just huge musically but I think the deepest part is the lyrics. It's a wonderful, colossal lesson on how Life should be lived to its fulness without drowning it in the materialism of our days, accepting its complementarity with the Death which is the only thing that gives sense to life itself, giving it an end. The fact that we don't live forever should be a huge motivation to walk through our existence in the best way possible.
The band has chosen me. I literally typed "The art of dying" to see what's up with results of this kind(Not intensionally searching for this song, or the band perse), and I click on an amazing song that I will keep listening to for the rest of my life. So good!
The level of fucking insane practice you'd have to do to get this down for a live show is insane. As a drummer, I know only the best of musicians can do this craziness. We did this in drum line at a football game once and holy shit. Hardest but most fun thing ever
Barron Hollon I know Mario. He practices with practice pads 45 minutes hard Corps before he comes out on stage. If you seen him live have you ever noticed he comes out already sweating
No kidding. The lyrics of this entire song have so much depth, but this line in particular really stood out to me. The the music composition is unbelievable on its own, yet I could spend all night breaking down just the lyrics. Needless to say, this track is yet another masterpiece crafted by the hands of Gojira. Brilliant
The Art of Dying...that outro is, to me, the world going on outside while I'm dying in my hospital bed...everything I thought was important isn't anymore...all the noise, the hustle and bustle, the angst of having to scrape through another day...all the stress, the doctors, nurses, ....LIFE....slowly fading away... That outro DEFINES death to me. It's as perfect a Coda as there ever was.
When people ask what its like to take psychedelics, I tell them that its like taking a gojira song and experiencing the song stretched out over 6 hours. Gojira is a trip
*I won't bring no materials in the afterlife.* *Take no possessions, I would rather travel light.* Along with masterful instrumentation, the lyrics are just as heavy. Magnum Opus
My absolute favorite Gojira song...if I had to pick just one. Everything about it is magic, and this one song has such diversity. Not to mention the power of these particular lyrics.
So I just started listen to Gojira this year and I just fell in love with here style and especialy with the drummer, the drumming in there songs are jusr flawless and what I like this band is fans its like a community.

your smile warms my heart, Jens...

Just became a fan. These guys are so talented. Better late than never. Glad i found them, or they found me. Thought i would never find a place in my heart left empty when Pantera ended.
Just go back to Exhorder squire.
hell yeah bro i feel the same but with machine head ,..never be another PANTERA ever ,..
ha...i felt the same...discovered them in 2006 and have been spreading the word to everyone since then telling them to watch how this band explodes....and it's happening and well deserved too
there is nothing equal or similar to gojira, unique concept
believe it or not. I found these guys while i was cleaning and had the comcast metal channel on. You don't find Gojira. Gojira finds you.
And that's piece of damn good metal. That's kind of music my big bro introduced me with, and I;m still in love with it. Unfortunately my brother passed this year......this song will always remind of him....I miss you, brother :( R.I.P., my big bro.....
The soothing riff from 8:45 to 9:54 is actually a riff played backwards. The original riff is a beautiful melody I obtained by playing that part backwards using an app.
It's actually the intro riff to the next song on the album "Esoteric Surgery", but played down quite a bit. Here's a link to the outro before they reversed it! ua-cam.com/video/Vk2OCOUCgiw/v-deo.html
They replay it at the end of Esoteric Surgery as well, reversed.
So much power and creativity this band, its my absolute favourite.
Syn Brainstorm come over
I just started listening to gojira yesterday and I instantly became hooked their music is so crisp and heavy I love every moment
4:15 onwards is probably one of the must beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard
The section of the song up until he starts singing is very interesting to me, cuz I believe that they wanted to capture the PROCESS of dying. The section tells the story of a person who is in the process of dying, and these are the last few minutes or moments of this persons life. Maybe a patient in a hospital, or someone who had an accident, or someone having a stroke or whatever right.
00:00-00-19 : It starts off with just the claps (?) and that's where this person realises and feels that something is SERIOUSLY wrong, and the hum represents death, cuz the hum is so obscure and you can't mistake it for anything else, so this is where the idea of dying gets in the persons head but he's trying to convince himself that he's fine, and coming up with reasons and explanations
00:19-00:57 : This is where the clock kicks in and more sounds are being added, as the intro progresses, death also progresses and this person is starting to realise that he's dying, and it gets harder and harder to find other explanations to what he's feeling, hence why the clock becomes the backbone cuz he realises that his time is out, and as more sounds gets added and it gets louder, the more he realises that he's dying
00:57- 01:10 : This is where everything else stops but the clock, and this is the exact instance where he realises without a doubt that he's going to die soon, and he doesn't know what to do, cuz how could he? We humans can't imagine death, so he freezes out of fear? Terror? Sadness? Confusion? Regret? Who knows, maybe a human emotion that we have yet to discover.
01:10-02:16 : All instruments kick in and they come in hard, just like his realisation of dying, the instruments represent his thoughts and emotions. Cuz they're just a giant mess and battle, he's feeling all of the emotions above and many more at the same time, cuz he knows his life is coming to an end
02:16-forward : Now he starts singing, and the whole tempo of the song kinda slows down to a very weird, sound? And when he starts singing he kinda sounds "off beat" in a way, it doesn't sound like it's structured with the song and that's on purpose, cuz he's dying! He doesn't care, or is even able to stay on rytmh, he doesn't CARE about small issues any longer cuz he's dying, he wants to give you his last words and these are it.
This is how I think they thought when making the song, and I think it adds a whole new dimension to the song. Thx for reading LOL!
I absolutely agree, you explained it well!
Mango Meow u thinking too deep
@@predatorhunter3169 I agree.
This isn't Dream Theater. I don't think they had an actual "story", they didn't calculate it. I think they just felt it, other than the odd-rhythm. They just wrote and excellent song.
Im 14 and this is deep😥😢😭
Nah just kidding i dont give a shit👍👌😂
That was a very unsettling readthrough...
Well done, sir.
Opeth and Gojira inspires me to growl my lungs out
I genuinely think this is the greatest metal song ever.
@@jager9022 Curious where his pfp is from
Nah man, if you think this is the best you haven't heard (just kidding man, I'm not even sure how long this song has been out, but in my book it's a timeless masterpiece)
Lorna Shore - To The Hellfire....
It will rip your soul out and feed it back to you.
Actually no...it won't feed it back. It will keep it, collected, clinging to its last drops of existence for millennia.
@@GreatBritishBeast I’m cringing
@@rufflxs6733 cringe harder
I air drum to this every time now.
when i do i look really weird
I WAS JUST DOING THIS
one does not simply air drum Gojira.
Timo E I did but it caused an earthquake
Timo E I did but I'm on a hospice now
“I won’t bring no materials in the afterlife. Take no possessions. I would rather travel light” is such a beautiful line
Edit: the lovely @R Neumann reminded me of a line I excluded while baked. Cheers my friend!
It really is
i believe there's a "take no possessions" before the i would rather travel light. which makes the line even more beautiful
@@mephisto656 I was high asf when I wrote this, thank you for the refresher my friend. Beautiful song.
that line always sounds like "I want Pringles and Cherios in the afterlife" for some reason
@@insertnamehere1258 it kinda do
Listening to Gojira has been one of the major pleasures of my life. Truthfully my favorite metal band.
The raw rich beauty speaks to the bone. The passion and emotions of a spiritual being on a human path. Just epic.
I hope everyone’s life aligns at some point like this and to listen to this as a reflection of our innermost humanity.
Well said. Bravo 👏🏻
Added this to my potencial funereal music list.
True
Potential
Chris Wise, we're eventually all going to die.
What else is on there..?
I think Chris Wise should prepare himself for some mind blowing revelations about human mortality
I thought my laptop fan was making a weird noise and kept banging on my laptop to make it stop.. then I realized it was the song haha
R.I.P. Vinnie Paul
Why are you saying that here lol?
R.I.P Lars Ulrich
La Raie Publique Because, I can. What, you got a problem?!?
Julian Harker It’s NOT unrelated. The comment was made as I found out of Vinnie’s passing as I was listening to this song for the first time. It seemed appropriate to comment about the death of the drummer of the greatest band EVER. You must be a Pantera hater!?!Lmao 😂
@@AdityaShekharChoudharypantera R.I.P Lars' wig you mean? xD
This song is just huge musically but I think the deepest part is the lyrics. It's a wonderful, colossal lesson on how Life should be lived to its fulness without drowning it in the materialism of our days, accepting its complementarity with the Death which is the only thing that gives sense to life itself, giving it an end. The fact that we don't live forever should be a huge motivation to walk through our existence in the best way possible.
the last part : best guitar riff ever
Roumano Apero last part is drum solo with absolute riff on the back. As I know 😊
Yes I mean the same. The same riff continues and the drum solo goes on and on 😂
Sorry, have you not heard "Floods by Pantera"?
When I listen to Gojira, it takes me to an unforgettable journey every time. This is art in it's truest form
vektor!!!
zettabytes is a time Samuel Saarinen gvgvvvcff
I can’t believe I never heard this song until today, this is mind blowing music
Try: this emptiness , esoteric surgery, and silvera, all gojira if you haven't already!
@@itzJohnnyBoy Esoteric Surgery is a masterpiece.
Now you realize how stupid you were.
@@idoyourmomwhileyouwhineher9448 I wouldn't go that far lol. We were all new to the band at one point.
Same
This song hits me on a spiritual level. Makes me feel so pure!
that drumming is on another level. *cues Asap Ferg
+kingadalou asap ferg and gojira? :)
+şehmus akbaş Lol yep
hilarious, asap ferg and gojira are both all over my recommendations
"*cues Asap Ferg" ... What? I dont get it? sorry...
+ghoawaynetcabo type in 'New level' by Asap ferg
this is probably the greatest song of all time.. no shit...
for real though
There's a live version of this which is staggering imo - believe it or not better than this!!
+LUMBERTHON I've seen them live. they're my favorite live band probably. this might be on their DVD link alive.
+Matthiu Ryin The one I'm thinking of is of a 2008 gig included as a second disk with l'enfant sauvage but I can't find it on UA-cam :-(
+LUMBERTHON I think I have that.
This songs so deep and heavy i feel like I’m floating in space watching the death of a star and rebirth of a solar system while its playing.
Recently discovered by this near 63 year old. Such power, absolutely love it! Now to check out more Gojira stuff
cant stop going back to 4:14.
.. with teriyaki on the side
Cyru Sol Haha! Thanks for telling me that. Now I will forever hear "IIIiiiiii want priiiingleeeesssss" when I listen to this song.
Realign mind I body I soul HAHAHAHAH lmao.
1:11 where the song really starts.
Always loved the groove at the end of the song.
empire one of the best riffs
it goes on and on and on and on... but never gets old... love it
I accidentally discovered Gojira 10 years ago when I was searching for Canadian rock-band Art of Dying. Nothing to regret
Now they’re the biggest French band 😂
5:55
Just leaving this here for whenever I need my dose of headbanging.
TAKE NO POSSESSIONS
I WOULD RATHER TRAVEL LIGHT
Uh that intro gives me chills and I don't know why!
The Poser KILLER Because it's chilling to the core?
good gawwwd, and that outro?...absolutely empowering.
Because you know it is true .
Cause it's GOJIRA
because its the fucking best intro in metal
"How long do you want your outro to be?"
Gojira: "Yes."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIII WANT PRIIIIIIIINGLEEEES AND CEREAL IN THE AFTERLIFEEEEEEE
this song is full of life
Ah! I detected a pun here!
Indeed it is. No pun required.
God this song is just pure emotion. That ending. Goddamn
The drummer sounds pretty good...maybe some day he can reach the level of a broken airconditioner.
The band has chosen me. I literally typed "The art of dying" to see what's up with results of this kind(Not intensionally searching for this song, or the band perse), and I click on an amazing song that I will keep listening to for the rest of my life. So good!
Goshuggah
lol!
considering your avatar and this music, maybe Goshuggath?
+Timo E i'd sell my kidney to see a band who sounds like a mix of 'em
Gojuggahltura
+Meshugginal Gaze Man that band would be brutal \m/
random searching threw me here.
i regret nothing
The amount of power at 4:14 is unreal.
Can we get a hour version of the riff that starts a 6:00?
Shakes me in my bones this riff
Absolutely crushing
The level of fucking insane practice you'd have to do to get this down for a live show is insane. As a drummer, I know only the best of musicians can do this craziness. We did this in drum line at a football game once and holy shit. Hardest but most fun thing ever
Danny carey >
+Barron Hollon Do you have video? That sounds so intense!
Tomas Haake>
Barron Hollon I know Mario. He practices with practice pads 45 minutes hard Corps before he comes out on stage. If you seen him live have you ever noticed he comes out already sweating
The best part is they are this good live.
That outro riff is majestic, it reminds me of Opeth's Deliverance, another amazing prog metal outro riff
I know right. I was listening to Deliverance and came here right after
My man!
The fact u mentioned opeth makes my heart warm
Yesssssss
Reverie/Harlequin Forest is another great outro. Burden's is deliciously weird, too.
One of the greatest metal bands to ever grace this earth.
The anthem of 2020.
If only the mankind could applicate all the subject gojira is talking about in that song , we would be so much more powerful and pure
@@nicholasdipilla6993 Fucking oath mate.
Fucking factsss
Sadly, the people of 2020 love the Art of Crap Music.
Correction...... Anthem of 2021
That double bass at 4:18 though
Holy satan that was sensational
Thats a fucking gatling gun
triggered? i say hell no!!!!!
You have the best profile picture :)
@@darrenmadden7137 he does actually... sorry to tell you 😕
when gonna be this song in a museum? fuck amazing
Born for one thing: Allow me to introduce myself
"NEGLECTED EMOTIONS LEADING TO CATASTHROPHIC VOYAGE ON THE OTHER SIDE"
A single line from the lyrics that one could discuss hours about!
No kidding. The lyrics of this entire song have so much depth, but this line in particular really stood out to me. The the music composition is unbelievable on its own, yet I could spend all night breaking down just the lyrics.
Needless to say, this track is yet another masterpiece crafted by the hands of Gojira. Brilliant
@@Hammersaurus You heard about the misheard lyric "I want pringles... and cereal in the afterlife" yet? BTW that part is here: 4:17
Pode apostar que sim
The Art of Dying...that outro is, to me, the world going on outside while I'm dying in my hospital bed...everything I thought was important isn't anymore...all the noise, the hustle and bustle, the angst of having to scrape through another day...all the stress, the doctors, nurses, ....LIFE....slowly fading away...
That outro DEFINES death to me. It's as perfect a Coda as there ever was.
RUUUUUUUN! IT'S GOJIRA!!!!!
Or, in this case, don't.
Conshe Tumare I'd like to see somebody try that...
lol
Can't, too damn good!
this gave me trip
Digital Deathsquid run towards Gojira
Holy fuk that outro is bonecrushing
Underated song. People dont realise how much depth and details is in this masterpiece. Easily 10 out of 10.
Yes I do relive. 8:38 8:38
Relize
1:11 I only just realized that the double kick pattern was the same "tadadadac tadac tadac" as the rhythm of the intro…
When people ask what its like to take psychedelics, I tell them that its like taking a gojira song and experiencing the song stretched out over 6 hours. Gojira is a trip
Gojira's magnum opus; without a doubt
*I won't bring no materials in the afterlife.*
*Take no possessions, I would rather travel light.*
Along with masterful instrumentation, the lyrics are just as heavy. Magnum Opus
this line is immediately followed by "i'm of this kind that kills all day, but i don't know yet how to die" true masterpiece, in every way
I don't want this song to end.
My absolute favorite Gojira song...if I had to pick just one. Everything about it is magic, and this one song has such diversity. Not to mention the power of these particular lyrics.
this is a masterpiece
The fact that this band exists must make the gods of metal very proud
So I just started listen to Gojira this year and I just fell in love with here style and especialy with the drummer, the drumming in there songs are jusr flawless and what I like this band is fans its like a community.
2:15-2:44 might be one of the best vocal lines i've ever heard
+Bruce Johnson this song is unreal and i love all the lyrics but, Take no possessions I would rather travel light, speaks volumes to my soul
"Breathing slowly, mechanical heartbeat
losing contact with the living
Almighty TV plugged, hybrid empty brain
don't see anything real in the game
The tension is building constantly
No reason just a reflex I have, driven by clockwork
I try to keep an eye open
And I realize I haven't closed my eyes in a long time"
u're rfucking right man! can someone suggest me songs like this one?
+Akis Koufis thanks man!
opeth may be the greatest metal band ever but its not technical death.
I feel like a Viking warrior listening to this. The intro is beyond amazing.
