Anyone into Gojira?

Just discovered these guys and this hits pretty hard.

I'm a fan....not SUPER in to them but I will say they are probably the best live metal band in existence. Every time I've seen them live they blow away every other act on the bill


That new song jams for sure!

 

[cardinal]

Definitely into them. Their drummer is freaking awesome, and of course the guitars are killer.

I dig them and the new song. Their last album fell a little flat for me along with the song released before this tune, but this new one is killer imo. I hope it's indicative of the new album as a whole.

Ya that first single with the outer space cartoon video was very lacklustre IMO. The song in the OP is some nice redeption

 

[Faded Abyss]

That’s funny, I thought Another World was way better than this song.

Check out Ocean Planet. My personal favorite of theirs (atm)

Another World better......J/K

Ocean Planet is great. I've been spinning From Mars to Sirius this week.

Love Gojira. That is all

Tried to get into them but just can't. Not my thing.

 

[Bxlxaxkxe]

New single is fire

 

[Nigel]

Magma is dope. The brothers lost their mom and wrote about it. Sick tone, unique vibe. Dig!

 

[xzyryabx]

Great bad!
From Mars to Serius is their best album IMHO

Couldn't agree more. Gojira live are a fucking wrecking ball. Like, unbelievably jawdropping. There is no better live metal band than Gojira.

Their last album was good, this new song is promising, but check out the 3-4 albums before Magma. Those albums are incredible.

 

[BeZo]

Yes.

i have this tendency to ignore new bands until they get like 4 or 5 albums into their career (if they make it that far). Then if they're still creating a buzz in the scene, or i notice them being billed higher and higher on festivals, tours, etc, then i'll finally go deep diving on them. This was one of those bands. I saw them live in their early days, and probably watched a single song, then went back to the bar. Now i'd be thrilled to check em out live. Magma was a really great album, where i think they've really come into their own style, and yeah...they jam. one of the best bands to come out in the last 20 years or so.

FWIW I couldn't get into them until I heard some of their live performances. They actually sound better live in some of these videos than on the albums IMHO; something about their energy and just straight ahead metal-ness of their performances is just awesome.

Their best record by far is "The Link", their second album released in 2003. Somewhat next gen Sepultura (Chaos A.D. era). Saw them live at the time and was flaggerbasted by the sheer power emanating from the stage. Really blew me away, totally awesome. I had great hopes at the time. Too bad all the albums afterwards were kinda lackluster compared to this one IMHO.

Will do

I was made a fan when I saw them open for Mastodon in 2014. I had no clue who they were and didn't really care as I was there for Mastodon. When they started playing I was shocked. Such a unique sound. Instant face melt. Never heard a live band so precise, clear and gut punching. It was a great experience.
