Joe Duplantier discusses how Gojira went back to their roots on 'Magma' | Aggressive Tendencies

- Joe Duplantier says they're "more friends" with their music today, having more fun and being more challenged playing with the subtle dynamics, which he insists are even more technically challenging - even if it doesn't seem like it. Gojira really keep it in the family (and not just literally with Joe and his brother Mario), so they tend to not collaborate. Joe explains that their decision to self-produce 'Magma' was their way of going back to their roots. October 20, 2016.

Haters be damned. Magma is a great album.
It made our best metal/hardcore albums of last year: exclaim.ca/music/article/exclaim_s_top_10_metal_and_hardcore_albums-best_of_2016
How did it make you metal/hardcore if it’s not metal more like smooth metal and great I guess idk nvm I’m dumb.And yes magma is a good album not my favorite but it’s good enough people just hate because it’s different
people love to hate on Opeth for the same reasons. I'm glad Gojira is focusing on creating music they feel good about
The way true artists should and do. Our interview with Mikael Akerfeldt kind of focused on similar things, basically was aiming to give them a platform to reach out and explain themselves to people who don't understand. I appreciate both bands' post-death metal work.
That's really the difference between metal and pop. You don't always get what you expected and that's lovely. Love you Joe and thanx Aggressive Tendencies for this interview!
I could Honestly just listen to Joe talk for HOURS.
He's well-spoken and really kind!
20 songs? GIVE US THE OTHER 10 NOW!
Right?!
What people claim Magma lacked heaviness I say it compensates with having more melodic and harmonic depth. This album has a lot of "soul" dare I say
YOU SAID IT!
People who claim that clearly didnt listen to The Cell
dont even talk shit until you see these guys live if you are still on the fence. they are the real deal.
SO good live. And the way the production syncs with the music...wicked.
not only are there great songs on Magma, but the entire album is extremely well-edited and the mixing is spot on. The fact that it was self-produced speaks volumes about this guy and this band.
I love the organic changes that happen between Gojira albums, they're all distinct but still all super Gojira-y.
the people really who hates on gojira for doing magma , they realy didnt hear terra incognita or the link . you find them familiar with from mars , the way and l'enfant . Gojira has always been an changing band , a progressive and experimental band , and terra incognita is their most experimental album to date .
Their willingness to change, progress and experiment is what makes them special!
Aggressive Tendencies absolutly man , and actually its not a will of cha.ge , its just their nature , its organic , they let it be and thats what comes from it : masterpiece after masterpiece full of emotions
Aggressive Tendencies
Imgine if Radiohead or the Beatles just did the same shit they did from the begining. We would never have Revolver or Ok Computer.
In my opinion, The Link has more experiments. Either way, for me it is great that a band can produce what they would like to hear, plus, having different songs that matches different aspects on one's life is awesome, it means that the band is as organic and as fluid any person is.
Actually, Fun Fact, The "Slide" was started on the link, so they did have at least one experiment that worked out! 😃
People must understand that if they were creating music specifically designed for what their fans wanted then it would be worse. Forced music is never as good as music honest to the creator.
You end up being a Lamb of God...hahahahaha
They've sucked since Sacrament. Everything after that all sounds the same.
Stranded is a "pop"-ish song....but in 20yrs will be a metal classic....you'll see.
I'll be contacting you in 20 years to celebrate your clairvoyance or call out your lies haha. Thanks for watching!
Joe Dugas it's like Walk by Pantera
you don't grow if you continue to do the same things over and over,and these guys have grown with each album.this was what was needed from them for us and mainly for the band,because with out growth there will be 0 change.and this change was for the great
RIP Momma Gojira!!
Least favorite album but Silvera and Stranded are BANGERS. Still can listen to whole album. Happier with Fortitude 🤘
one of the best metal albums in my opinion, obviously its my profile picture
Whoa I was going to guess you hated it when I saw your profile picture! Haha, thanks for watching, friend!
I agree with this from their past music 💯🔥💯
i did not like magma at first. then i saw them live and now i give magma a lot of respect and love it.
It definitely translates well live!
Damn I wanna hear all 20 of their songs
everyone is like l'enfant savauge is their best album but honestly i think the way of all flesh is head and shoulders number 1 then magma then from mars to sirius
agree!
He’s so beautiful
Im a new Gojira fan and their is hate in this little community? i haven't heard 1 song i didn't like vocally and musically keep doing what u love Gojira its your band after all!!!
SynTheSK Syn the last two albums are softer (not soft,but softer) than the first 4. When things change people tend to speak their minds. I think people are just worried they’ll continue the trend of getting softer. Most Gojira fans haven’t made statements like “I’m done with this band” or “this isn’t Gojira anymore”. They’re not hating on them. They’re just worried about the trend.
Wish i got to listen to all those songs that weren't picked for the album
Fingers crossed for a b-sides album sometime in the future.
Come back to Terville😃!
People think bands sell out...what actually happens is that they develop, grow and get better at writing and arranging. This makes them more popular of course!
why would anyone be negative about Magma?..it is just, or more, creative than any of their others, it's called trying a different flavour or switching gears a little. I am a huge fan of L'Enfant Sauvage but if every album was the same, it would get boring. Let them express themselves as they see fit, feel, I'm sure their future albums will be plenty heavy. How many other bands have been so homogeneous with their sound....Slayer...that after 7 or 8 albums it only appeals to a small fan base who really likes "that sound" and that you know the band before the first 2 measures are played. Ghost put out Prequelle which is a huge departure from their Meliora album but it was brilliant and daring and I'm sure Tobias will rescind a little on the next. Part of enjoying music is to grow a little with the band to be receptive to a little change. Most death metal bands that survive are infusing progressive elements into their music btw although, to me, Gojira are just as progressive as death metal or sludge metal it is just that their flavours are constant but subtle, complex.....French.
Gojira..everything they do is great ...
Est ce que en live, ces morceaux rendent aussi bien selon vous que ceux des anciens albums au moment de leur sortie?
Pour en avoir fait l’expérience, oui :)
j'ai hate de pouvoir en juger par moi même !
Who disliked this? I don't understand your opinion. Please tell me so I can understand. I respect your opinion, I just want to know.
La couleur du micro me fait penser à Empalot... hahaha!
Magma is their heaviest album.
Well, I am one of those who "hate" on Gojira for their deviation from death metal. Well, not hate obviously. I love Gojira. I am just disappointed with them making softer music. Magma was indeed good. But my least favorite of all their albums. The way of all flesh is the fucken best followed closely by Terra and L'enfant Sauvage.
I just wish they still make that ole aggressively jarring style of death metal.
#notahater.

Prateek Yadav Magma is actually my favorite from them. All of their albums are great in their own way. I’m with you on wanting them to be heavy,but I liked Magma so much because it has heartfelt lyrical content and dynamic contrast between the songs and within them too. Pray is a perfect example of that. I also don’t like when bands make all their songs sound the same (i.e. Lamb of God,though I do like them),so the last two Gojira albums have been refreshing.
@@corbinm5237 Very well stated. I was half afraid of being blasted when I got the notification of your comment. Oh, well you know how internet can be. So, thanks! Btw. Magma, the song, is one of my favorites from them. Beautiful song.
Prateek Yadav haha well I’m an understanding person. I really don’t think people should be criticized for musical taste because that’s about preference and it’s subjective rather than objective. I understand people have different tastes,so you enjoy what you want to enjoy. I was just stating my thinking because I wasn’t sure if you felt there were reasons why even hardcore fans of Gojira’s older music would love Magma.
Prateek Yadav and Magma is actually my least favorite song from the album haha. But it’s still good though,I agree. And The Way Of All Flesh is 4th or 5th for me but it has some incredible songs on it.
