Lay down fall away Lie awake Just cannot move My arms and legs I'm paralyzed Don't recall how to free Myself from this In the heart of the dark My face contorted Don't know how to reach the light But I feel so bad Like a freak in a cage Open the door Enter your heart You go...

I don’t kno why I’ve never really looked at the lyrics to this one, though a favorite for years. For most of my adult life I have suffered from constant sleep paralysis. It’s often terrifying for me and has affected my quality of life drastically and in many ways. Clearly the meaning of the song could be “subjective” and interpreted a variety of ways, however these lyrics just hit a nerve in me.
WhoDarestheMAN gamer he actually has on a number of songs. With melodic rhythms and off tempo syncopations. George sounds like every other death metal drummer speed no creativity.
To call a song The Heaviest Matter of The Universe, musically live up to what that implicates, and lyrically apply that within the themes of the album takes another worldly level of skill, creativity, and confidence! Long live this mighty beast we call hail Gojira!!!
Jesus fucking Christ this song is insane. I've always had a problem with the death metal screams. This is the first time I've ever enjoyed them. Incredible live performance too. It's better than the recorded version ffs. Bravo Gojira, you've got a new fan.
I’ve been getting into death metal a lot more recently and some of the growls I struggle with but the screams in shit like Gojira and Acid Bath (Ik they’re sludge but they border on death metal a lot) are perfection.
Literally was just thinking the same thing. Just heard about them from a UA-cam comment which brought me to this video. I listen to a lot of 80s Metal/Thrash Metal, I never really like the super heavy screaming shit, but this is awesome I love it actually
My all time top 5 live experiences in order.... Amon Amarth, Gojira, lamb of god, Meshuggah and Mastodon even though sometimes their vocals are weak...
2009 sonisphere festival in Barcelona: Metallica Slipknot Machine Head Down Lamb of God Mastodon Gojira Soziedad Alkoholika All the same day, almost died of metal overdose LOL
that makes this show so much cooler, the audience didn’t like them because it wasn’t even a metal festival, so they played like they were attacking the crowd kinda, so that’s badass
This is by far gojira’s craziest fucking song they’ve made. I thought only pain and Silvera was heavy, but not nearly as heavy as this. Craziest dudes to ever roam the planet.
BP Genius Yes, people do call this music. What you are seeing is a collection of very talented and dedicated musicians performing at near perfection. Your only problem is you have a very narrow perception of what music is. Most probably limited by the way you live your life and the beliefs you choose to subscribe to. I am a musician and I listen to a wide variety of music ranging from classical to Leonard Cohen and Patrick Watson to Metal and all of its sub genres. I am drawn to talent and Gojira are incredibly talented. This music does not encourage violence, in fact, Gojira regularly sing about global warming and the negative affects we as a human race are having on the world. Furthermore, violence is linked directly to mental health, social and family environments and greed and poverty. In a lot of places music is the only escape for hurting people. If you want to stop a type of "music" then campaign against pop music artists like Miley Cyrus. She is selling sex to preteens and encouraging mindless, untalented music. Finally, try to understand this: It is good when you don't like something. It is bad when you feel you have to write nasty, uneducated comments on a video of something you don't like...it's kind of childish. It's good you don't like something because it means you have a brain and it defines you as an individual. You are thinking which is a valuable asset these days, now think a bit harder and realize that if something you didn't like didn't exist then you wouldn't like what you liked because there would be no definition of LIKE. We would all be clones, life would be boring. Now in future please think and be considerate before you post something negative, small minded and unintelligent. Good day, sir
Simon Henwood It’s a shame because only people who care like you and I would read this and the others would ignore this, whom really need to be informed
Duuuude idk if you're talking about the riff that come before the ''Beat your feet on the ground now, GO!'' but that riff eject all the fucking metal in the world
This is good music just like how rap 10+yrs ago was good music and like hiw classical is good music and jazz. Any musician can see and understand how all these genres can relate to eachother in different ways.
my favorite part is at 0:13 when joe screams "here we go", and how the bassist throws the bass in the air when he hits the two notes and how heavy and solid the shit sounds, all in that like... 10 second time-span
I honestly think that Joe shouting... whatever it is that he shouts at 0:14, while the shaky camera pans past him to Jean-Michel losing his shit, is the heaviest thing to ever be captured on camera.
The drummer is so insane. Not only playing awesome insane complex stuff but with such power and intensity....damn and what the hell is he doing on the ride with one hand at like 2:08 , 2:24, 2:32 Its like hes getting three hits out of each stroke. so groovy with the pounding bass drum underneath sounds so clean
..most of my adult life I have suffered from constant sleep paralysis. The experience is often terrifying for me, and after a while it becomes exhausting, physically, mentally and emotionally. Some of the lyrics to this one really hit a nerve in me.
Never heard of this band before, but the sound is intense. Sounds like industrial metal to my untrained ears, not heard anything like this before. drummer is superb. many thanks for posting.
Lay down fall away
Lie awake
Just cannot move
My arms and legs
I'm paralyzed
Don't recall how to free
Myself from this
In the heart of the dark
My face contorted
Don't know how to reach the light
But I feel so bad
Like a freak in a cage
Open the door
Enter your heart
You go...
So far.....
Golden unworldly silence
Space flight at speed of light
I cross the clouds and colors
The black hole is calling me
I slide on the horizon
On the frontier not to cross
Black dwarf
Time's gone distorted
In the heart of the dark
A whirl of light
Enter in
The realm of nothingness
I feel the cold, my eyes are shut
My fear is slowly dying
Light years from here
Are my thoughts and cages
I can hear their moan
But now a long deep breath
Is calling
Overtaking time
And now understanding space
I feel united
I do cross light
Feel the living
Here in the center
Stands the light of love
That never can be touched
From greater silence
Shall return

@@themisfitmickey he’s talking about astral projecting out of that state of sleep paralysis. You can do it too
Lllll
i just noticed that in this live version he says “i feel so bad, im like a freak in a fucking cage”
Sounds like sleep paralysis leading into an obe, cool tune.👌
1:04 the heaviest thought in the universe
ThaTruth223 the heaviest nut sack in the universe
haha
If Mario forgot his kid at daycare
"Did I leave the stove on?"
"Whats the difference between a ton and a tonne?"
Mario wasn't playing the drums. He was physically assaulting them. Gojira is on another level.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer I completely disagree,Mario is just something else🤯
Gojira is a category on its own
WhoDarestheMAN gamer he actually has on a number of songs. With melodic rhythms and off tempo syncopations. George sounds like every other death metal drummer speed no creativity.
@WhoDarestheMAN gamer lol.. who the fuck cares about the speed...
Pistonhead A lot of people......
1:04 when you can’t think of a 1:04 joke
Just drumming like a machine wondering if he took out the trash at 1:04
He left the stove on
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
He was casually speaking with God lol
The song name is a summarization of Gojira's music
To call a song The Heaviest Matter of The Universe, musically live up to what that implicates, and lyrically apply that within the themes of the album takes another worldly level of skill, creativity, and confidence! Long live this mighty beast we call hail Gojira!!!
for sure
How can something so insanely brutal be played in D standard tuning? Absolute riff gods.
This isn't Metal, this is Neutron Star
See what you did there

"Okay okay! Jeeze, you'll get to play as Olimar, calm down!"
This deserves more likes

OLIMAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
this drummer is fucking mechanical! dude is the man.
Ahh Gojira, one of the very, very few bands that are better to listen to live rather than studio versions.
saw them live and was rooted to the spot... in total fucking awe
...Lamb Of God same way...very difficult to capture/contain this on a record...
Joshua Dematas Devin Townsend is amazing live
Hatebreed, Lamb of God, Anthrax, Napalm Death, Behemoth, Testament, Slayer, Ringworm, Gwar, Miss May I are all good bands live \m/
Joshua Dematas muse
Jesus fucking Christ this song is insane. I've always had a problem with the death metal screams. This is the first time I've ever enjoyed them. Incredible live performance too. It's better than the recorded version ffs. Bravo Gojira, you've got a new fan.

That guitar riff and the drums on the chorus is fucking wicked
Harsh vocals/growls are an acquired taste for sure, Gojira is actually what got me into more Death metal bands
This is the best sounding metal performance on youtube, the band are so tight and the live sound mixing is so perfect.
Annihilator is the 1st best live band, then Gojira ;)
Lamb of god is one of the best too. Don't forget them
Dudley Powell I have to say Meshuggah
My all time top 5 live experiences in order.... Amon Amarth, Gojira, lamb of god, Meshuggah and Mastodon even though sometimes their vocals are weak...
My personal 3 best is Pantera ('97. 101 Proof), Slayer (many times), Destruction (2011. Belgrade) and maaaybe Metallica.
So fucking brutal it literally brought tears to my eyes!
Indeed

He is asking to Mario, he's face in the 1:04 looks pretty disturbed
that makes this show so much cooler, the audience didn’t like them because it wasn’t even a metal festival, so they played like they were attacking the crowd kinda, so that’s badass
mario has found a new planet i repeat mario has found a new planet over 1:03
Another World, another place to be
He is an Incredible drummer
How did I not hear this band before. My soul is gone idk where it is
That drummer must be feeling too damn hot.. I'd die from such heat..
He should be allowed to wear nothing
MKRocker94 He wears a cable with sticky tape on his back :D
Imagine a drummer that did that but had mad back hair
+MKRocker94 aww
Check out Hellfest's 2013 Where Dragons Dwell. The animal did a nonstop double bass for 4 minutes straight
Wow, they actually sound good live. One of the many reasons why Gojira is one of my favorite bands
This is by far gojira’s craziest fucking song they’ve made. I thought only pain and Silvera was heavy, but not nearly as heavy as this. Craziest dudes to ever roam the planet.
early albums of gojira are way more heavy than silvera or only pain , check anthin form the link alive 2003 or fire is everything live hellfest 2013
Everytime I read all these comments, it really cracks Me up!!!

but those people wouldn't be watching a live video of a gojira song
I love rap. I love hip hop. I love butt rock. I love pop. I love country. I love jazz. I love electronic. I love metal. And goddamn, do I love Gojira.

He tried to get lower, realized that he couldn't, got pissed and walked away.

Me: THE WHOLE SONG IS A FUCKING BREAKDOWN!!!!
I'm officially renaming this one to "The Heaviest Riff of The Universe" period
The heaviest riff is more likely the one towards the of Backbone.
Duuuude idk if you're talking about the riff that come before the ''Beat your feet on the ground now, GO!'' but that riff eject all the fucking metal in the world
@@waggoner4959 that riff still makes me hard even after hearing it 100 times
Slayer should have opened for Gojira. These guys are legendary.
If I were slayer I wouldn't want to play after these guys 😂
True
Mario Duplantier has literally the most metal sounding drum tone in the history of music.
Wow! That was REALLY Cool! Never heard Gojira before this one..
Welcome to the fold...
:)
One of the best bands I have seen live
I like this live version much more than the studio version.
1:04 when you forget to take the meat out the freezer after your mom calls you saying she’ll be home in 5
I have to periodically remind myself to not play this song in my car because headbanging too fiercely while driving is dangerous.
Mario is probably one of the best modern metal drummer
0:07 LOLOLOL HIS FACE
Jim box Duh but still though lol
He’s thinking heavy ass thoughts.
+Journey The Crab (Zysoth) heaviest ass of the universe
2:02 Ultra-Epic Metal Stance activated...
This song has gravity
can't stop myself from being attracted to it indeed
This has to be the best joke people made of this song
the sound of these kicks and that rhythm.....
After I took a shower then listened to this. Poof! My hair dried off, due to involuntary excessive headbanging! Thanks Gojira!!!
This is good music just like how rap 10+yrs ago was good music and like hiw classical is good music and jazz. Any musician can see and understand how all these genres can relate to eachother in different ways.
This is the heaviest music i ever heard. And look... i've heard a lot of musics!
there are way heavier bsnds
Jason Talbott strapping young lad was equally, and probably more heavy and this came out in 1997 ua-cam.com/video/xnoXJy9mjmE/v-deo.html
Meshuggah...
Steven Gold Bleed is the craziest song ive heard its so heavy
James Peach I've been listening to metal for years. This is the heaviest combination of riffs and drumming I've heard yet. It's just pulverising.
my favorite part is at 0:13 when joe screams "here we go", and how the bassist throws the bass in the air when he hits the two notes and how heavy and solid the shit sounds, all in that like... 10 second time-span
The Heaviest Merci Beacoup Of The Universe
The Heaviest Drums of The Universe
First song I'd ever heard from them initially. Instantly became my favorite band.
Mario, my hero. As a fellow drummer, he blows me out of the water! ❤️
I honestly think that Joe shouting... whatever it is that he shouts at 0:14, while the shaky camera pans past him to Jean-Michel losing his shit, is the heaviest thing to ever be captured on camera.
Turn on that CC button if you want to know what Joe shouts 😉
1:04 When you’re in the middle of drumming but you can’t remember if you locked the doors to your house before leaving

no gimmicks.. no masks... no tricks.. just pure and heavy blasts and loud!!! perfectly insane!!
I remember listening to this for the first time and literally having to pull over. That riff is just so unreal.
Je crois un de mes morceaux préférés de Gojira, un riff de tueur !
Whoever mixed this is a genius.. and what a performance!!
The Heaviest Song of The Universe
Is this even legal?!
Not in Alabama
Joey Broussard of course it’s Alabama
Barely
NOPE!
I heard they were fined right after the song, but they were permitted to continued the concert as long as they keep it light.
Gojira: guitars play the beat, battery plays the riffs
Mario... simply incredible!!!

..most of my adult life I have suffered from constant sleep paralysis. The experience is often terrifying for me, and after a while it becomes exhausting, physically, mentally and emotionally. Some of the lyrics to this one really hit a nerve in me.
