HIP HOP FAN'S FIRST TIME HEARING 'Gojira - Stranded' | GENUINE REACTION
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 чер 2024
- Today I listened to Gojira for the first time. I noticed in the tags of the video that it said the genre was Death Metal. Is that true? I imagined Death Metal to be a lot harder or 'scarier' than this. I am looking forward to hearing more from Gojira. I wasn't sure what song to react to at first so I just searched them up and chose Stranded. Let me know some background on these guys. I'm intrigued by their style of music and want to hear more!
Here is my reaction to hearing Gojira - Stranded for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

Another vote for "heaviest matter in the universe." First song of theirs I heard and haven't gone back since
Great song!
One of my favorites as well. I love that whole album. I will always have a soft spot for songs that tell a story and Where Dragons Dwell leads right into that so perfectly.
Flying whales 👌🏼
@@revan5293 Good song and nice profile picture sir.
Born in winter
Mario Duplantier is God tier level drumming..
100% beast
came here to say this. I've seen them play live a couple times and both times I'm left in awe of how hard he hits the drums.
100% a god. Super Mario Jackhammer Duplantier is a god.
Hits them drums a la bonham
Not Death Metal, but they will certainly use elements of it at times. Hard to put Gojira into a box
Absolutely agree with you!!
They are in the "Gojira" box, which is the best possible situation. I love bands that crate their own style within a genre.
Death elements, math, groove, prog, sometimes ethnic. Do some home work dudes, its obviously vegetarian progressive grindcore
My apologies 😂@@xenochrist9970
Would have had you start with Flying Whales but beggars can't be choosers. So excited you listened and there is so much more to hear.
I think it's actually better that he started with the more mainline stuff. The rest will seem even more impressive now.
@mstorrboy I agree for the most part. I see Flying Whales as one of those. Just happy he is checking them out. His head is gonna splode when he does Art of Dying lol
@@MatthewBousumonline exactly. Let's get him hooked on them before we nuke his noggin. 😁
Flying Whales live at the Brixton Academy...
It has to be live with mosh pit and blow up whales too. Gotta have the whales.
i can’t wait for the gojira rabbit hole after this omg
Brooo rightttt.
Gojira albums since 2012 are good. Albums before then are masterpieces.
Is this Death Metal? Well...yes, but No. Kinda...and not really. 🙃
It's a mix of Death Metal, Groove Metal, bit Prog and some modern stuff.
Like Morbid Angel, Death and Mastodon Had a child.
Very good comparison. I agree, yes and no. Now it's just "the Gojira sound " to me.
@@michaelhoilman6897this is so true, gojira is one of the very few bands with such a unique varied sound that i have no clue what category they’d fit in lol
and industrial
I agree, it’s not what I would call death metal, but that’s just my opinion 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah, there ya go. No need for me to comment. That works.
For death metal, old school style, check out Entombed, Carcass, Cannibal Corpse, Deicide etc. But get prepared cos you aint covered owt like it yet!
Napalm Death
YES. Anything from 1988-1992.
DEATH and OBITUARY too
which is why i keep suggesting opeth to him, ease him out with songs that have all the elements of death metal, but also other musical elements that he has been accustomed to
Check out Flying Whales and Heaviest Matter in the Universe! Insane songs! Oh, and yes, this is death metal, but it's not extreme death metal. Bands like Deicide, Obituary, Morbid Angel are MUCH heavier death metal bands.
Hear Bolt Thrower
Anti-tank Dead Armour 🤘🏼
World Eater!
@@TheRPGChick but also THE KILLCHAIN
this or cannons fade@@tomspring213
Hell yeah! War Master or Cenotaph! I've suggested them before since they are from EU.
L'Enfant Sauvage is a sick song. Thx for taking the time to react to these dudes, big fan of them and you as well. Thx brother 👍
Duuuude, my favorite metal band of today, they have many front to back albums
Flying whales and silvera is definitely a must when listening to gojira ❤
Flying Whales or The Heaviest Matter of the Universe. Cold tracks 😂
Flying whales is an amazing song
flying whales is my jam when smoking pot!
Death-Lack of Comprehension would be an excellent introduction to death metal
Yes o pull the pug
@@samuelisazapuerta9934sounds like a euphemism for something
If it's Death, I'm going for Symbolic. That will show him what's up. Absolute peak Chuck.
@@BillBuckinghamI will respectfully disagree. Symbolic is solid but I think Human and ITP are their best.
@@Horseheadbookendz That's the beauty of Death. We all have our opinion and we're all correct. Human is my favourite Death album, followed by ITP as it goes. But Symbolic is one of my favourites of his as it delves deep into his psyche. Hell, we could go on forever about Chuck - his genius was limitless.
Mastodon - the hunter
Mastodon - show yourself
Mastodon - oblivion
And many more from them 😁
Jaguar God
Been waiting on Gojira for a while MollyBoy glad you got around to them. This song is for sure on the lighter side of their catalogue. Try Backbone if you want that super heavy.
Back fu*#ing BONE
Their music is addictive. Keep going with them.
Deicide, carcass, Morbid Angel, Death, that's a goid place to start Death metal
Early Gojira (godzilla) is the even better imo, they can just do it all, it’s incredible, their demo Possessed is mind blowing for a first ep / demo as a band
Yeah! I think Legion and Blessed are the sick are classic Death Metal..in my opinion.
Do the band Death! They are regarded as one of the original bands of the genre back in the day. Do Trapped In A Corner or Crystal Mountain!
Yoooo good pick man. Good pick.
Morbid angel dreaming, Caesar's palace, God of emptiness... Cannibal corpse hammer smashed face, eaten back to life, zero the hero 😎
Chapel of Ghouls as well from Morbid Angel, and Scourge of Iron from Cannibal Corpse🤘🔥!
Metal genre has many ramifications...death,black,gothic,doom,trash,melodic,symphonic,heavy...and more. For something extreme I recommend pure "deathcore" like the band "Slaughter to prevail" ,song "Viking"...
Good reaction man...👍
This is the way to do it if you want to get into death metal over time. Some people suggest the most brutal bands right away but if you're not used to the screaming/growling it's better to listen to bands like In Flames, the later albums from Gojira or even early Slipknot (the Iowa album for example) to just get used to harsher vocals first.
And when you feel you've started to really like harsh vocals maybe check out bands like Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth (the more melodic side of death metal) before checking out the old school brutal bands like Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse. Keep up the great work, I enjoy watching your reactions! 🤘
Good advice :)
Exactly. I can forgive them because theyre fans and they want ppl to love what they love so they become over enthusiastic but that's how you turn ppl off of what you like more than lead them in. I made a similar comment. You've gotta ease them in. This song was great choice for that.
Thirded start out with Beginner friendly stuff as recommend
IN FLAMES MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥
Stranded is one of their tamer and more simple songs. It's catchy and structured more like standard songs which is not their usual style. It's a great intro song for them. People always suggest some of their heavier, (and better imo), songs but for ppl who dont listen to this style of music It's a bad way to introduce someone to their music. This was a good choice.
I'd suggest L'enfant Sauvage of the same titled album next which is again a bit catchier but also moves away from some of the standard musical format and then all bets are off and anything can go. Just my 2cents. Definitely want to see you experience more though.
Making a lot of happy people today🤘
Also, FUCK YEAH FINALLY GOJIRA!
Gojira is one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They are so unique and so talented! Super excited to see you branching out more and more.
I'm really proud to be french as them, you have to check so many songs from them, they're also awesome humans too, their lyrics have some deep meanings concerning ecology, they're really engaged especially in Amaazonian forest.
Mario (drums) and joe (guitar and singer) are brothers. And Mario is now considered as one one the best metal drummer in the world. They have so much respect from every metal all other the world.
At thje beginning they were "just" a death metal band, now, they really have their own Gojira sound, brilliant on records AND live too.
My advices songs: "The art of dying", "Silvera", "The gift of guilt"(live), "Born for one thing", Amazonia", "The chant", "Grind",....
ORBIT CULTURE!! pounding metal with a Metallica-esce influence in their sound.
You’re opening the doors to another great adventure with Gojira. You have so much to look forward to. Gojira never disappoints 🤘🏼
Gojira is my current favorite... I can't stop listening. Saw them last year in Cincinnati, and as much as I love Mastodon, Gojira actually owned that show.
Dudeee nice. I saw Gojira with slipknot and behemoth in 2018 men. I was 18😂 sooo fun. Sooo gooddd.
First time hearing these guys. Like you, I was expecting it to be a lot more frantic and heavy. Lead vocals are pretty amazing.
You know, nowadays Gojira is a phenomenon. No bright personality frontman, no crazy outfits or anything just 4 humble guys who make amazing music. The attention they are getting is completely deserved. Please react to their album “From Mars to Surius”, imo that’s their most progressive and heaviest album, really shows what they do best in that one. My favorite tracks are “Backbone” and “Where dragons dwell”, would love to see what u think about them. Love your channel, especially the Metallica reactions you did, keep it up bro! Much love from Kazakhstan🫶
Gojira is fantastic. They’ve evolved and matured tremendously from their very early years. Numerous great songs listed in the comments. Also Amazonia, Born For One Thing, Silvera, L’enfant Sauvage.
So many great death metal bands if you’re up for it. Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Inferi are some of my favorites. Don’t read the lyrics to some of these bands music! 😂
If he opens up the Deathgrind rabbit hole with Cattle Decapitation then he will sooner or later go the Grindcore route. I'm down for it.
Big fan of the Carcass Heartwork album. Also early Fear Factory is incredible.
Bros face would melt off if he heard Cattle Decap lol
None are as unique and oddball as Gojira in that realm though. Especially composition wise. Its what makes them so unique amongst their peers.
@@jordanjoestar8839 Idk Archspire and Inferi aren’t as popular and Inferi’s more recent singles have been pretty unique.
Gojira is one of my favorite metal bands they are so different check out the Gojira the art of dying
The name "Death Metal" comes from a band's name called Death. The guitarist/composer of Death was Chuck Schuldiner, the creator of this genre we call as "Death Metal", who tragicaly passed away in cancer at the age of 34. I definitely recommend you to make a reaction for Death. I would recommend you to chose a "lighter" song for the first time hearing this band, for example "Crystal Mountain" from the album "Symbolic".
incorrect. it comes from the song "death metal" by Possessed.
Flying whales, The art of dying, Explosia, L'enfant Sauvage, Deliverance, Space Time, Backbone, The heaviest matter of the universe would be my recommendations for this band. They're amazing!
Best thing to come out of France since the cross channel ferry
Gojira (go-jeer-uh). Gift of Guilt at Brixton. Where Dragons Dwell. Pray at Red Rocks (my home Colorado). Flying Whales. From Mars to Sirius and so many others! Down the rabbit hole you go, son!
Cannibal Corpse- Hammer Smashed Face is death metal !!!
I've gotten to see them live twice, and they sounded just as clean live as in studio. Joe's vocal strength and clarity is amazing
Screw trying to put it in a category. It's just awesome. That's all that matters hands down. And if you really like that song which I know you did, I could see it from the reaction. You're going to love shooting star. Check it out. I seen these guys on UA-cam. Live at the Red rocks in Colorado in the freaking concert was amazing. Enjoying my boy!
So glad you enjoyed that track!
One outstanding heavy song with so many cool parts and vocal styles is Ghost of Perdition by Opeth 🤞😁
Is he ready for that? Only one way to find out!
Absolutely ready
Harlequin Forest is probably a better intro to Opeth…the first 10 seconds of Ghost of Perdition might scare him off…😂
My first Gojira song was Silvera. Love them.
Yes, more Gojira, you have to experience these live versions of Gojira! I recommend the songs "The Art of Dying" and "The Heaviest Matter in the Universe" (both live at Vielles Carruses Festival, 2010) and "The Gift of Guilt" (Live at Brixton Academy, London).
So glad you're getting into Gojira. This band is killer live. You should react to their live version of Silvera. Do a search for "GOJIRA - Silvera live - Hellfest 2016"
Aww…! Man! Can’t wait for more of your Gojira reactions! This band is amazing!
this is one of gojiras lighter songs, gojira are referred to as the gateway into death metal since many of their songs are easy to listen to while being as heavy as you would expect from death metal. If you wanna dive into their heavier side i recommend songs like Flying Whales, Heaviest Matter in the Universe and Oroborus. If you want to ease yourself in the i would go with songs like Silvera, Where Dragons Dwell and Global Warming and Amazonia. If you are looking for some other bands to check out i would recommend Amon Amarth with a song like Twilight of the Thunder God or Arch Enemy with a song like War Eternal. These three bands are the bands that got me into this genre and these songs pulled me in. Gojira is still my favorite band of all time. Definitely make sure to check out Avatar somewhere down the line. Their song Bloody Angel is absolutely a banger
The journey takes a slightly heavier turn! This is a good thing. Great watch again 👍🏻
Alrighty then! Heard of them but had never listened to anything by them. This is absolute fire! Thank You Molly Boy. I have a rabbit hole to go down
Absolutely LOVE Gojira! Glad you dipped your toe in with these guys!!
They used to play (technical/progressive) death metal in their first albums but that's definitely not death metal. Loved your reaction though, I think that song is a good entry point to Gojira.
I hope to see more Gojira reactions, there's lots to discover !
GOJIRA one of greatest bands out there. They are even better live .
This opens up a whole new genre! - Gonna have to check out Opeth.
Heard someone throw out Lack of Comprehension by Death in the comments, so I'll also tack on that literally every song from Death's "Symbolic" is incredible. It's later in their discography where they got more melodic and progressive with things and I love it.
Gojira rules! They are so pure and so honest! The lyrics are amazeballs! Great live! Great stuff. Thank you for appreciating this!
THAT WAS SO HARD AND HEAVY, I DON'T KNOW THIS BAND BUT WOW!! CRAZY INSANE!! HAVE YOU REACTED TO ROB ZOMBIE OR WHITE ZOMBIE? AWESOME REACTION MOLLYBOY!! NOT MY CUP OF TEA, BUT I APPRECIATE THEIR ART. 😊🩷🤘✌️
Dont listen to these people, gojira is a mix. Their first 3 or 4 albums are definitely death metal, id say first two are tech death second two prog death. Later on including this song they strayed away from death metal and become more purely prog and groove metal. This song is more like technical groove.
Technical groove metal is very fair
MOLLYBOY if want REAL DEATH METAL this is NOT it
Death ( Chuck Schuldiner) is where you need to start
Groove Metal is great, Pantera and Suicidal Tendencies are also considered Groove metal and I lovem both!🔥❤️🔥
So! These guys have put in the work and paid their dues. Let them explore.
Gojira can do it all tbh❤
Gojira! Yes please!!!!!
If you are going to dive into death metal, you should go back to some of the original bands. I would start with Death - Lack of Comprehension to hear some musical greatness
Flattening of Emotions...anything off the HUMAN album!
Gojira is a rabbit hole you’ll never regret. Mario will blow you away. He is the best drummer around and there music is so great
Opeth - Ghost Of Perdition Live At Red Rocks. Death metal at its finest!
You’re funny man. You’re aren’t taking any more crap from the complainers. 😂
This album was written around the time of the passing of the singer & drummers mother. Stranded relates to their feeling of losing their mother.
Gojira is awesome. A great balance of really heavy, beautiful, and progressive sounds. Will watch more of that! Agreed on Flying Whales and Heaviest Matter in the Universe. Love the content, great stuff!
They're from France, personally I wouldn't consider them death metal but they are heavier than some bands but Death Metal as Cannibal Corpse, Skinless, Death, Obituary, Six Feet Under and so on. Keep up the good work🤘🤘
That's another new for me, thanks MollyBoy.
I've just signed up to Spotify so a link to your play list will be awesome
Gojira is on another level. And they're epic live. Born For One Thing off their latest album is a must listen.
Love when you rewind ... please keep it up ... anyone who doesn't appreciate going back to listen to something great can f-off...
Gojira is in a class of metal all to itself, they are totally unique, one of a kind sound, and a gift to us all.
one of the best bands the last decade or so
First time listening to Gojira , that was fricken Awesome , I guess I'm going down the rabbit hole on this band , Great reaction mollyboy !!! 🤘🔥🎸💯...
The Cell, Toxic Garbage Island, Another Workd, Le Enfant Savauge, Flying Whales, Gift of Guilt (Live at Brixton), biggest band on the earth right now. You can't go wrong with Gojira
You should also check out some live recordings of Gojira. They really blew me away because they can actually reproduce these pretty challenging songs and it sounds exactly like on the record.
Absolutely love watching your musical journey bro 🤘🤘
Death metal is much more aggressive than that now. Check out Slaughter to Prevail for the more modern style. But it is extremely aggressive!! 🤘
Love the rewinds😌I’d consider it heavy metal before death metal, imo
Yees finaly Gojira dude, i have a feeling you might like their new and old stuff as well . And they always kill it live
Hell yeaah I remember suggesting you Gojira in chat, I'm so happy to see you discover this gem of a band
Where Dragons Dwell - Live at Hellfest 2013.. Mind blowing!
Love your reactions bro keep it up. Be kind rewind all you need
Death metal recommendations: Death, Obituary, Morbid Angel, Cannibal Corpse, Arch Enemy and from my state, Nile for a start.
All The Tears or Lefaunt Savage are a great spread of the mix of styles they have. Plenty of slow gentle songs as well like Shooting Star, Low Lands and Born in Winter! They built their own studio (mostly Joe himself, the vocalist) and they record/mix all their own work! Mario the drummer, got Best Metal Drummer 2 years running! Check out his solos. Sadly, Joe and Mario (brothers) had their mother pass away during the creation of this album so the themes hit extra hard with emotion.
Joe has a very unique "pitch screaming" ability, and it makes him very versatile, he can even do Mongolian throat singing, featured most prominently in Amazonia and The Way of All Flesh (insane song)
Thank you for that reaction , i love gojira , for me the best songs are the art of dying and l'enfant sauvage
2 of their best.
@@6ic6ic6ic and Mario Duplantier? INSANE DRUMMER
@@gerardoboraggini3776 Top 5 at least.
Joe's vocals are the most death thing about the band, and he's one of the best in the world.
The music is more technical/progressive groove metal.
If you want to know why people said you weren't ready for death metal, listen to one of these - Lorna Shore - To the Hellfire, Cannibal Corpse - Decency Defied, Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher, Whitechapel - Mark of the Blade.
Many, many others, even 'heavier', these are just a taste that came to mind.
The band Death are likely where the name Death metal came from, Chuck Schuldiner is legendary. I would recommend listening to them at some point. My suggestion would be - The Flesh and the Power it Holds. 🤘
I’ve seen others react to this band have always resisted. I’m a lil scared. I’m gonna try with you and see how I do. Let’s see what happens🫣…..instruments are fantastic. The vocals were hard to take but glad I waited to the end when the vocals changed. All in all glad I watched it. Thanks for the introduction Molly Boy!
Hat off to you for trying 😊 sometimes it plants a seed and you'll grow to like it later down the line but if not then you don't and that's ok! But if we don't try we won't ever know!
You definitely gotta check out Blackwater Park by Opeth. Definitely got the growls but the musicianship is insane. Great reaction bruv🤘🔥
I wouldn't say this is death metal but their earlier albums are definitely, which you should check out! Songs like The Heaviest Matter of the Universe or Remembrance are really good and you should try them out!
I've been waiting for you to listen to Gojira for a long time. You should also listen to The Gift of Guilt, Chant, Born in Winter, Flying Wales, Amazonia, Sphinx, Into the Storm, Oroborus, Magma, Silvera
Glad you choose Gojira, I recommend you watch live in red rocks, they sound so freaking brutal, they have a tribal influence by sepultura, Amazonia must be your next stage...
Now react to The Art of Dying that is a heavy but yet masterpiece of a song! Also would love to see you react to Flying Whales, The Heaviest Matter of the Universe, Backbone 😁
I have been going down the gojira rabbit hole for the last couple of months . Where have I been ?? They are awesome 🤘🤘
Hell yea just found your channel ! Love your reaction. Like everyone else is saying they are so many genres . I hope you go down the Gojira rabbit hole , I’ll be joining if you do 😁😁🤘🏽
Saw them live last year. They are sooo much better live than the produced version. They're unreal.
Death-Symbolic has an absolutely amazing riff I love. Definitely recommend
This is my favorite band right now, there are some songs that are just not for me, but when the songs are good, they are really fucking good.
The Art of Dying, Heaviest Matter in the Universe, Toxic Garbage Island. All epic. All brain melting. All awesome. Any of those will give you an idea of how heavy these guys can be. Incidentally probably the best live band I've ever seen also.
As a long time death metal appreciator, in looking forward to watching this reaction. Will edit my thoughts after.
Edit: Oh yes, you're ready. If this is how you react to death/groove metal, you're ready for the rabbit hole. Go slow, don't jump into the deep end like I did with Nile or Immolation from the start.
I've got a mile-long list of bands you'll love if you enjoy this. Maybe start with Vader, their vocals aren't muddled like some DM bands and they've got some killer riffs.
Edit 2: Adding the band Byzantine because they opened me up to the world of Groove metal and I think you'll love them. Any song from their self-titled album is good.
If you want to explore some Death Metal, check out
At The Gates- Slaughter of The Soul
In Flames- Artifacts of The Black Rain
Amon Amarth- Fate of Norms
They are french and started a while back. If you want more I think Silvera is their 2nd most poppy song. If you want to take the death metal dive near the roots, lots of people recommend Death but I would still recommend Morbid Angel - Chapel of Ghouls. A lot of people also recommended Bolt Thrower, which is my personal favorite pure death metal band and its also kind of accessable for death metal. People who recommend Death songs from later albums I would not recommend starting there for death metal, as they are basically jazz with heavy instruments and vocals :D
