@wulfive Unless it's changed recently, Alcest has always been two people, Neige & the drummer Winterhalter (who also plays/played drums in Les Discrets, a band similar to Alcest).
She said she said type of thang ya know. More like.....Mother Earth provides, but it's up to us to find and learn or we let us not inform others of our discovers. Secrecy is the key to dominance. Control through the answers provided, thus, comes questions of relevance. Transparency will eventually save us from the shade provided. My is mind stuuuupid.
YES! One of my favorite Gojira songs. That line. "When you change yourself, you change the world!". I also love the tapping riff that is used throughout and the very lyrical tapping solo. Awesome stuff! I'll add more as I watch. Glad you guys did this one thought, I think you will love the lyrics. Fun Fact: They were nominated for a Grammy for this track. Not gonna get in to the abortion issue to much because first and foremost I feel its not my place to make value judgements about what a woman does with her body especially since I don't know what she has been through? Was she raped? Was she raped by a family member? Is she under 16? The issue is not black and white which is why it is so hotly debated. I get that Sori feels very strongly about this, and combined with her religious beliefs and the fact that she is a woman I think thats perfectly fine. But we need to be extremely extremely careful not to demonize the other side (this cuts both ways) if we are going to have that debate. And all to often I see pro life people calling people who are pro choice "despicable murderers". That serves no purpose. As far as veganism goes. I could never be a vegan, simply because of what I enjoy eating. But, I really really wish I could be. Similar to Sori it just kills me to see the way these beautiful animals are tortured and butchered. People killing for sport, its horrific. So I understand why she got so upset. I got upset as well. Big props to Gojira for tirelessly trying to be an advocate for the other creatures that share this planet with us. Vin said about a lion chasing down a gazelle. But a lion doesn't torture a gazelle, it kills it and eats it. Thats the cycle of life. And the indians followed that same mentatlity. They killed an animal it was to use it. And the animal was respected, its life and contribution to the tribe was celebrated. What we are doing now to animals is not far removed from what was done in concentration camps. Torture, slaughter. Song is a 10/10 for me. Also, Wintersun-Loneliness (Winter) please!
Big argument, very well explained. I believe that the concept of pro-life is totally wrong, because it is a vision that completely discards the life of the eventual mother, as if it were a disposable life for the baby to be born. And calling it baby is also totally wrong, because as a society we have not defined, if it can be defined, when a fetus becomes a person and calls it a baby, we do not know when it is conscious, and as long as that gap still exists in the territory of faith and personal beliefs. Having said that, I do not think the issue is vegetarian vs. the rest, but rather how we treat animals for human consumption, and it is clear that we are increasingly aware of the massive consumption and the bad treatment we give to these animals. Great subject, and great reaction, but I'm afraid that Vin and Sori concentrate too much on the subject in discussion and not on that these subjects are really the new standard of metal, and I say it as someone who has listened to metal for more than 20 year. In all cases, I love your reactions, greetings from Chile
I'm a bit late, but anyway, I agree pretty much with everything you said, but just to clarify, nature is not as clean as you think. Lions do play with their prey, chimpanzees may occur to engage in infanticide and male group raids, there are many occasions where these aggressive behaviors are not related to food or mating like they conventionally would appear to be. Not even going to start about dolphins. I think it's related to how much the brain evolved, making it more exposed to demented thoughts that can lead to agrressive behaviours. I don't think that animals are untouchable on that aspect. I do think that If any other animal would have developed a brain like us, they wouldn't be much different from what we are. Maybe not all species.
I've never researched this song either but I've been a long time Gojira fan, the day this song came out the second I heard 'no other blood in me but mine' I came to the same conclusion you did. I can't confirm because I haven't looked into it but I'm definitely in agreement that it's about killing animals.
Not about animals, it’s about you, we are all one, gojira’s songs are spiritual not Christian. I respect the peeps trying to compare it, but gojira are putting things on a broader spectrum other than vin and Sori trying to find a reason in a midst of the million things that are happening in the midst of a billion reasons, because we live in a disgusting society. It happens to people not just animals. And still seeing yourself as more than a living energetic thing, is immoral completely.
@@fayleneanderson1008 I think the animal reference is definitely there, I'm fairly sure they're vegetarians. They're definitely not Christians though, that's for sure.
Been a gojira fan for a long time, but I'm glad I saw this video and that people like you guys will happily sit and break down a songs meaning like this. I knew the meaning behind this particular track, but I'm glad others have the same moral discussions I have :)
27:45 to 28:15 "It is wrong, wrong. [...] I put it out of my head, because I can't... [...] I am ashamed to even say it, very ashamed that I just put it out of my head even though I know that that's happening". Strong and important moment, Sori! Don't blame yourself. Our mind tends to push aside information that would create an inner conflict, it is a self-protection mechanism. However, these thoughts are also usually most important. Going there hurts, but it is worth it.
I am now pacified. :) Best song off their latest album in my opinion. Love the soaring guitars and the message. Stranded is also great off this album but as a whole the record is pretty sparse compared to the epic ness of their previous three albums. They just announced they are working on new material and have ideas for close to 100 songs. Whatever comes from that, I’m sure it’ll be great.
I have an ultimate team up song for you guys to listen to and breakdown. It's Gojira - Of Blood and Salt ft. Devin Townsend and Meshuggah. Please please react to this. It's literally a perfect mix of dgent and progressive metal all in one🤘🏾🤘🏾
Silvera is one of my favorite Gojira songs. I always took the "genocide" as the killing off of common sense/social decency. So often we get lost in an ideological group, so to speak, hence being dragged through the mud. We lose the innocence Gojira advocated for in L'enfant Sauvage so easily and we don't even realize it happening. We get caught up in our daily lives and forget to live. We drown in the drama of society, hence Time to open your eyes to this genocide, When you clear your mind you see it all, You're receiving the gold of a better life, When you change yourself, you change the world. We are the creators of our own misery.
I know it's been 2 years but you could take it more literally to mean just that Joe doesn't support the animal holocaust. "No other blood in me but mine" is really not something a carnist would often say. If you listen to Silvera as a song about not harming animals then the lyrics of the chorus are pretty self-evident. Not sure how the rest of the verses fit into this per se. I like this interpretation more than just a social commentary because it actually makes us stop being so self-absorbed, as in to "quit moaning" and deal with something far greater than us.
This is the first song I head of gojira back in 2016 now they’re my all time favorite band🤘 As a drummer and vocalist they constantly inspire me to explore new techniques. Thank you for reviewing my favorite band again😄 PLEASE DO MORE🙏
Love what you guys came up with about the vegans, and the animal killing. Great breakdown. Never picked that up from this song, has a whole new meaning
Great choice of song, guys! This is one of the greatest discussions I've ever heard from you in my opinion. It was great 👍. Another good gojira is stranded. These guys are amazing live. HOWEVER. Carach angren - the funerary dirge of a violinist.
Hey Vin and Sori, how can I ever write a comment without suggesting a song?! So here we go: AFTER THE BURIAL - LOST IN THE STATIC! Keep up your good work! I love you. I love your channel. You're my favorite! Over and out!
@@EDKsurly They don't provide it. We rip it away. Although I don't believe in karma, karma describes well how us killing them kills us. (Heart disease, high cholesterol, etc)
EDK ReefMeister Why obviously. You can survive without them you’re just too weak and selfish to do it. I eat meat as well I just hate the arguments like yours because you’re just trying to justify your decisions and you’re always gonna side with your desires so what’s the use.
I honor the children of Banglasdesh and Kambodscha because of their Nike shoe giving force. I don't care how they feel or if they are exploited or kill themselves, my swag obviously takes priority. See how fucking retarded this sounds?
Close Your Eyes - Keep the Lights On and Song for the Broken NOFX - Generation Z and You Will Lose Faith Avenged Sevenfold - Demons, Tension and Until the End Stick to Your Guns - Amber, Better Ash than Dust, the Better Days Before Me and 3 Feet from Peace
Another great band, another great reaction. Gojira is one my favorite bands. Wish you guys would do more albums. In metal it’s often difficult to interpret a song by itself. Listening to and digesting an entire album can open your mind to how the song relates to the bigger picture.
Absolutely loved that you did a Gojira reaction. I will absolutely be there to hand deliver you European cheese and beer for you to react to tracks: *5."Where Dragons Dwell"6:54 *6."The Heaviest Matter of the Universe"3:57 *7."Flying Whales"7:44 *8."In the Wilderness"7:47
Hey! Gojira! Yeah! And my usual request - SEPTICFLESH! Portrait of a headless man (official video) Vampire from Nazareth Prometheus Anubis Virtues of the beast Sangreal Martyr Persepolis PLEASE!
Agree or disagree with abortion, I think to qualify it as "genocide" is one hell of an emotional stretch. Babies aren't being "systematically slaughtered". Certain ones are being killed but no one is aiming to eliminate all fetuses which would be the definition of a genocide... This isn't meant to be an argument for or against abortion btw. But I felt like the constant referrals to it as genocide weakens your argument since its a dishonest portrayal. If a Fireside happens on this I'll definitely tune in. My views lean pro choice but it's not something I enjoy advocating "for". I definitely understand your perspective as well.
damn! that song rocks im all jazzed up now thanks you two.now im going to watch my first video reaction of you two KINGDOM DTP you two are so haappy and pump up and that made me say these two people seem to be awesome so i subscribed and have no complaints peace out jay
Gojira is life.... simply put. Followed metal (as well as other genres) obsessively for over 20 years. Thousands of bands have been heard, and 100's of concerts attended. Gojira are one of the ONLY metal bands of the 21st century so far, that gives me that feeling of "....whoa....this band is making me feel a plethora of emotions.... as well as making my neck hurt from headbanging". The lyrics, the intelligent songwriting and structure, the power and passion in the vocals. I could go on all day. I've seen them live and I got so many goosebumps throughout the gig. They headlined their first ever festival this past weekend (Bloodstock) which was also headlined by the likes of Judas Priest!! The band has been working their asses off since 1996, and only now are headlining, without selling out, without writing a shitty pop record, without gimmicks and costumes (nothing wrong with having gimmicks btw, but just saying), or without creating buzz online by talking shit in the media. This band is everything a band should be. Great musicians, well practiced, beyond solid, insanely tight, prolific and consistent. I love every album from 2001 to 2016, even though they've constantly changed their sound. They plan to make a new record in 2019!! The follow up to the album Magma, that Silvera comes from. Can't fucking wait
And Sori, good for you for putting all that out there! We are many that struggle with this. I only buy organic meat (in Scandinavia that includes more requirements for animal welfare aspects in production), but there are still aspects that I can’t quite reconcile myself with. But like Vin pointed out, it’s not the act of preying on other species - I’m an ecologist, to me that’s just part of life on this planet. But turning into an industry is something else entirely. And now we also need to think about it in an environmental context (it is just not sustainable at this scale). But I’ve got my hunter’s license and will probably move to that if I am to keep eating meat. That animal has then lived in it’s own right, and not just to feed me.
Gojira: *plays a fantastic song with a simple but important message * Vin and Sori: "Atheism" "Christianity" "Abortion" "Pro-life" "Feminism" "Animal Rights"
I like the discussions as always! Tho some songs have information out there on what the writer meant. Perhaps you could try a short segment after the general discussion to quickly check and see if you were close or had the right idea. Reading the writers thoughts might change yours :) Also.....please do Leprous xD TesseracT - King is also cool :) Keep up the cool videos ^^
The Black Dahlia Murder - Deathmask Devine Pallbearer - Dancing in Madness Cannibal Corpse - Unleashing the bloodthristy Watain - The light that burns the sun Burst - (we watched) the silver rain Stream of Passion - The art of loss Rolo Tomassi - A Flood of Light Draconian - Rivers Between Us Deafheaven - Honeycomb VUUR - My Champion Heike Langhans - The final cut (pink floyd cover) Please
Moonsorrow - Kuolleiden Maa. DarkLyrics has the lyrics with translations, as does one of the TH-cam uploads. The (concept) album as a whole is amazing but Kuolleiden Maa as an ending song is my favourite; massive and final. The album is about the world after an apocalypse: Kuolleiden Maa has the last survivor reflecting on what brought the end.
Gojira is one of the few bands that are in the spotlight right now with such a great respect for the environment. I've been vegan for 6 years now and this song among others have been influential in keeping me focused on the bigger picture and why I live the way I do. I was raised Catholic but have been mostly atheist, regardless if you ever wanted to sit down and have a chat about anything with veganism I'd be happy to share my opinions on it. Keep doing your thing :)
Thanks so much for more Gojira love Vin&Sori.😊 This artwork from Gojira... i dont even know where to begin for a recommendation! 😅 Although...the track Clone makes a great statement about spirituality!!! 👍
I am amazed by the fact that lyrics analysing really depends on culture that you are living in (i live in Europe). To me this song's lyrics were very simple and quite literal, while some of songs that you guys do are pretty cryptic to me and or i see them in totally different way.
Hello Vin and Sori. I have a request that means a whole lot to me. August is a tough time for me despite my wifes birthday on the 10th. August 15th, 2015 I lost one of my best friends. Was in the army, wanted to be an actor and did some comedy here locally. Unfortunately, we dont know when others battling depression. And he was. He ultimately took his own life. He was an amazing man and friend. My request is Sevendust - Angels Son. Song was written about the bands friend Lynn Scott of Snot who had passed. This was the first song I had heard after hearing the news of my friends passing. Id be forever grateful if you guys dis a reaction to this song. Thank You R.I.P DeMarco
YEEESS!! Awesome review and discussion, Love this band... But seriously more Amon Amarth: Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Thousand Years of Oppression, Under the Northern Star 😉...
I work for a company that has a customer who is a factory farming company, they make corn dogs and other shit. They bring chickens from a hatchery in large semi trucks and crammed in cages. They park the trucks at a spot where a fork lift can take a group of cages and put it on this machine that will tilt the cage over a conveyor belt and will dumb the chickens. Then the conveyor belt takes them to people who will hang them on racks upside down for the chickens to have their throats slit. Also the whole place smells awful, it is one of the worst smells I have ever smelled and it's all over that facility but the hatchery smells worse.
Last year when i went to watch Metallica at the Rose Bowl Gojira was the starting act and its badass listening to them live. Right after A7X played then Metallica.
I for one prefer to harvest my own food, meat and plant alike. The real issue is we are far too concentrated to make harvesting wild game a viable option, we could go back to the smaller private farms but expect prices to skyrocket at least temporarily. I am all for it though.
They did half of the song on a livestream a while back. They need to properly react to the whole live @ Tampere "Greatest Show on Earth" though, I agree!
Ou yeah! Love this song so much! The sound is epic, the massage is huge. It is way shorter than many other Gojira- Songs but everything necessary is included. And you're right, in an interview Mario (i think) told this is referring to the industrial production of meat and society consuming it in masses. ...there might be a bit more meaning in it, at least the official video gives some additional inspiration. *edit: Heilung LIFA - in Maidjan
I've been vegetarian for a few months now and I listen to metal since I was a kid , also a Christian. I just don't have the need and appetite for meat anymore, but I do think there's ways to eat meat and not just blindly indulge into it for sure
By the way I agree industrial farming is wrong that's why I'm a hunter and vegans can complain about hunting but if the population isnt controlled diseases would spread and animals can actually go instinct! So its helping the environment and I'm getting the most organic meat possible!
Bravo. I applaud you guys for being Christians but still appreciating the art of music in all of it's various forms. I believe,regardless of religious or political affiliation, music is a great unifier. I myself,am an Atheist but one of my best friends is Christian and I've tried to get him into metal. I think he enjoys it but I also think part of him feels some sort of guilt for enjoying it.
Please more Machine Head! They have so many different sounding songs, but u always will hear some typical machine head things. I know this song won't be requested that much, but the singers (Robb Flynn) most personal songs is "five", they won't probably never play live. "Daddy" is the keyword why. But don't care it is not that disturbing, but even more angry! (even it has a creepy touch) But there are some other cool songs, like "night of long knifes", "now we die", "in comes the flood", "hope begets hope", "behind a mask", "be still and know", "locust", "this is the end", "darkness within", "the sentinel" (Judas priest cover), "clenching the fist of dissent", "halo", "a farewell to arms", "Imperium", "days turn blue to gray", "seasons wither", "descent the shades of night", "bulldozer", "crashing around you" (live from hellalive), "trephination", "deafening silence", "the blood, the sweat, the tears", "the burning red", "ten ton hammer" (extended cut), "the frontlines", "old", "I'm your god now", "death church", "a nation on fire", "blood for blood", "block" and more. :-D
Sori have a big point, I´m not vegan but I´m with her, I´m not from the US but is true, the industry of meat in US is huge and the butchery is in a big industrial level, more meat aviable that can eat and need, with a lot of bad ways to get fat those animals and creating diseases to animals. I´m from Mexico , here is a lot cheaper to buy veggies and fruits than meat, and in some places (states) the quality of meat is organic with no extras fees because is more cheap to feed those animals with natural food instead anabolics and that stuff.
You know, they have shown that all plants are sentient as well. They communicate, science has shown that they feel. So there's that argument as well. Life, feeds on life. I'm pretty sure there's no getting around it.
What are the name of these documentaries? I would like to know please. I’m always up for more knowledge in our world today open my mind to more things. I’ve seen the silent scream a couple days ago for the first time and it was hard to watch I’m surprised I finished it but I would like to know these animal ones. Like I said I would like to know what’s really going on in our society
Check out Dyscarnate. Their latest album, With All Their Might is a great place to start, and the previous album to that is good as well. Also, get into some The Black Dahlia Murder, probably best place to start is on their Nocturnal album, or just listen to Nightbringers from their latest album. Great stuff. Love the channel, mostly due to your guy’s open mindedness. I am an active christian, and its refreshing to see people of the same general background not condemn any and everything that is metal.
29 minutes in I am in tears for Sori. MEE TOOOOO :( ( back of my mind is screaming : this is what the german people said that you were talking about at the beginning of the reaction :O ) :( this world is sooooo crazy now. :(

Why does you liking the taste of meat justify the death of a sentient being, most mundane argument ever

L'enfant Sauvage is great. But they will never review "Love" by Gojira because their god is not metal enough.

Love what you guys came up with about the vegans, and the animal killing. Great breakdown. Never picked that up from this song, has a whole new meaning
Great choice of song, guys! This is one of the greatest discussions I've ever heard from you in my opinion. It was great 👍. Another good gojira is stranded. These guys are amazing live. HOWEVER. Carach angren - the funerary dirge of a violinist.
AshenOne61 6 carach I think is a tad boring musically...
Yesssss! It's about time for another Gojira reaction! 😁
Hey Vin and Sori,
how can I ever write a comment without suggesting a song?! So here we go: AFTER THE BURIAL - LOST IN THE STATIC!
Keep up your good work! I love you. I love your channel. You're my favorite!
Over and out!
I eat meat, but I believe we should respect the animals we consume. Obviously our lives take priority...
How can you possibly respect an animal and eat it at the same time?
Seems to be the complete opposite of what you'd do if you respected animals.
Im thankful for the life giving force they provide.
@@EDKsurly They don't provide it. We rip it away. Although I don't believe in karma, karma describes well how us killing them kills us. (Heart disease, high cholesterol, etc)
EDK ReefMeister Why obviously. You can survive without them you’re just too weak and selfish to do it. I eat meat as well I just hate the arguments like yours because you’re just trying to justify your decisions and you’re always gonna side with your desires so what’s the use.
I honor the children of Banglasdesh and Kambodscha because of their Nike shoe giving force. I don't care how they feel or if they are exploited or kill themselves, my swag obviously takes priority.
See how fucking retarded this sounds?
Sepultura - Refuse/Resist
Close Your Eyes - Keep the Lights On and Song for the Broken
NOFX - Generation Z and You Will Lose Faith
Avenged Sevenfold - Demons, Tension and Until the End
Stick to Your Guns - Amber, Better Ash than Dust, the Better Days Before Me and 3 Feet from Peace
Gojira is so unique, and this song is so powerful!! I love them 🔥🔥
Greate and deep discussion... that's the magic of good lyrics!!!
Tfx Vin and Sori
Another great band, another great reaction. Gojira is one my favorite bands. Wish you guys would do more albums. In metal it’s often difficult to interpret a song by itself. Listening to and digesting an entire album can open your mind to how the song relates to the bigger picture.
Absolutely loved that you did a Gojira reaction. I will absolutely be there to hand deliver you European cheese and beer for you to react to tracks:
*5."Where Dragons Dwell"6:54
*6."The Heaviest Matter of the Universe"3:57
*7."Flying Whales"7:44
*8."In the Wilderness"7:47
KitMarie They’ve already done Heaviest Matter and Flying Whales.
I say for the third time on this channel: Where Dragons Dwell!
MrJc9600 ty!
Hey! Gojira! Yeah!
And my usual request - SEPTICFLESH!

Agree or disagree with abortion, I think to qualify it as "genocide" is one hell of an emotional stretch. Babies aren't being "systematically slaughtered". Certain ones are being killed but no one is aiming to eliminate all fetuses which would be the definition of a genocide...
This isn't meant to be an argument for or against abortion btw. But I felt like the constant referrals to it as genocide weakens your argument since its a dishonest portrayal. If a Fireside happens on this I'll definitely tune in. My views lean pro choice but it's not something I enjoy advocating "for". I definitely understand your perspective as well.
Song is about eating meat
It's always nice to hear this type off music done well
Gojira is amazing . Period . Would love see them live.
Sori is so correct, imo, about eating plants and animals that you put love into. Good stuff.
Gojira is my favorite band, so if you do an entire album reaction, I'm watching every video.
Love this song!! Hope you react to Bloody Angel by Avatar soon, I'm excited to see what you guys would think of it
You guys should give ISIS the band a shot. Something off "Wavering Radiant" or "In the absence of Truth". Really unique metal.
damn! that song rocks im all jazzed up now thanks you two.now im going to watch my first video reaction of you two KINGDOM DTP you two are so haappy and pump up and that made me say these two people seem to be awesome so i subscribed and have no complaints peace out jay
Wolves in the Throne Room- I Will Lay down my Bones Amongst the Rocks and Roots!
Josh Jennings Yes yes YES!!!!! WITTR RULES!!!
We got to get them on it!
Gojira is life.... simply put. Followed metal (as well as other genres) obsessively for over 20 years. Thousands of bands have been heard, and 100's of concerts attended. Gojira are one of the ONLY metal bands of the 21st century so far, that gives me that feeling of "....whoa....this band is making me feel a plethora of emotions.... as well as making my neck hurt from headbanging". The lyrics, the intelligent songwriting and structure, the power and passion in the vocals. I could go on all day. I've seen them live and I got so many goosebumps throughout the gig.
They headlined their first ever festival this past weekend (Bloodstock) which was also headlined by the likes of Judas Priest!! The band has been working their asses off since 1996, and only now are headlining, without selling out, without writing a shitty pop record, without gimmicks and costumes (nothing wrong with having gimmicks btw, but just saying), or without creating buzz online by talking shit in the media. This band is everything a band should be. Great musicians, well practiced, beyond solid, insanely tight, prolific and consistent. I love every album from 2001 to 2016, even though they've constantly changed their sound. They plan to make a new record in 2019!! The follow up to the album Magma, that Silvera comes from. Can't fucking wait
Vin is spot on, Gojira is *very* eco-friendly. I was floored that you picked up in that 👍🏻🤟🏻
Yes!!!!! Amazing song and band love it !!!!
And Sori, good for you for putting all that out there! We are many that struggle with this. I only buy organic meat (in Scandinavia that includes more requirements for animal welfare aspects in production), but there are still aspects that I can’t quite reconcile myself with. But like Vin pointed out, it’s not the act of preying on other species - I’m an ecologist, to me that’s just part of life on this planet. But turning into an industry is something else entirely. And now we also need to think about it in an environmental context (it is just not sustainable at this scale). But I’ve got my hunter’s license and will probably move to that if I am to keep eating meat. That animal has then lived in it’s own right, and not just to feed me.
Gojira - Ocean Planet!
Let's be real here. You can NEVER do too many Gojira songs \m/
Great song! HELLOWEEN - KEEPER OF THE SEVEN KEYS!
Gojira: *plays a fantastic song with a simple but important message *
Vin and Sori: "Atheism" "Christianity" "Abortion" "Pro-life" "Feminism" "Animal Rights"
Slayer - playing with dolls
Samael - antigod
Bleeding through - deaf ears
Testament - dog faced gods
Researching beforehand takes away from the whole reaction/review aspect because you have reacted to the song already but without the music ☝️😏
I like the discussions as always! Tho some songs have information out there on what the writer meant. Perhaps you could try a short segment after the general discussion to quickly check and see if you were close or had the right idea. Reading the writers thoughts might change yours :)
Also.....please do Leprous xD
TesseracT - King is also cool :)
Keep up the cool videos ^^
Oh btw it's always interesting hearing your perspectives so don't change the not researching prior thing you got!
Leprous - Slave is also about animal killing lol
That, and it's a great song haha
Oh man what a discussion! I'm with Vin on this one. I haven't given vegans much thought. Gotta check out some of these documentaries.
Please watch Earthlings, Cowspiracy, and Dominion. They are life changing.
“Vin is so fucken smart”
He really do be that way sometimes. Vin is THE big homie.

Moonsorrow - Kuolleiden Maa. DarkLyrics has the lyrics with translations, as does one of the TH-cam uploads. The (concept) album as a whole is amazing but Kuolleiden Maa as an ending song is my favourite; massive and final. The album is about the world after an apocalypse: Kuolleiden Maa has the last survivor reflecting on what brought the end.
Gojira is one of the few bands that are in the spotlight right now with such a great respect for the environment. I've been vegan for 6 years now and this song among others have been influential in keeping me focused on the bigger picture and why I live the way I do. I was raised Catholic but have been mostly atheist, regardless if you ever wanted to sit down and have a chat about anything with veganism I'd be happy to share my opinions on it. Keep doing your thing :)
Thanks so much for more Gojira love Vin&Sori.😊
This artwork from Gojira... i dont even know where to begin for a recommendation! 😅
Although...the track Clone makes a great statement about spirituality!!! 👍
Avatar - Bloody Angel
G O J I R A!
Enjoying your reactions to some great music, Gojira are miles ahead of most bands at the moment, not a regular poster, but keep up the good work
Heaven Shall Burn - Voice Of The Voiceless
I am amazed by the fact that lyrics analysing really depends on culture that you are living in (i live in Europe). To me this song's lyrics were very simple and quite literal, while some of songs that you guys do are pretty cryptic to me and or i see them in totally different way.
Hello Vin and Sori. I have a request that means a whole lot to me. August is a tough time for me despite my wifes birthday on the 10th. August 15th, 2015 I lost one of my best friends. Was in the army, wanted to be an actor and did some comedy here locally. Unfortunately, we dont know when others battling depression. And he was. He ultimately took his own life. He was an amazing man and friend.
My request is Sevendust - Angels Son. Song was written about the bands friend Lynn Scott of Snot who had passed. This was the first song I had heard after hearing the news of my friends passing. Id be forever grateful if you guys dis a reaction to this song.
Thank You
R.I.P DeMarco
YEEESS!! Awesome review and discussion, Love this band... But seriously more Amon Amarth: Father of the Wolf, Death in Fire, One Thousand Burning Arrows, Blood Eagle, Thousand Years of Oppression, Under the Northern Star 😉...
I work for a company that has a customer who is a factory farming company, they make corn dogs and other shit. They bring chickens from a hatchery in large semi trucks and crammed in cages. They park the trucks at a spot where a fork lift can take a group of cages and put it on this machine that will tilt the cage over a conveyor belt and will dumb the chickens. Then the conveyor belt takes them to people who will hang them on racks upside down for the chickens to have their throats slit. Also the whole place smells awful, it is one of the worst smells I have ever smelled and it's all over that facility but the hatchery smells worse.
Lindemann - Praise Abort
Blind Guardian - Valhalla (Imaginations Through the Looking Glass)
GRAVE DIGGER - Rebellion feat. Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian) and Van Canto
Silverchair - Freak
Guns N' Roses - Estranged
On the surface. To the casual listener, it’s negative scary metal. It’s a super uplifting song actually. It’s my morning “get off your ass “jam
Last year when i went to watch Metallica at the Rose Bowl Gojira was the starting act and its badass listening to them live. Right after A7X played then Metallica.
I for one prefer to harvest my own food, meat and plant alike. The real issue is we are far too concentrated to make harvesting wild game a viable option, we could go back to the smaller private farms but expect prices to skyrocket at least temporarily. I am all for it though.
Great, an intelligent discussion. Thank you. 👌😁👍
So. You mentioned Dawkins. Time to do
*Nightwish* : Greatest Show on Earth
Also. Interesting discussion. Looking forward to Fireside
I agree!
x666xIronMaiden HEY YOU!! 😊💚💚 tell them they gotta do it
YESSSSSS
Vanderson Junior YASSSS TELL YOUR FRIENDS!
They did half of the song on a livestream a while back.
They need to properly react to the whole live @ Tampere "Greatest Show on Earth" though, I agree!
Hahaha by far the funniest video yet. Keep it up y'all
Ou yeah! Love this song so much! The sound is epic, the massage is huge. It is way shorter than many other Gojira- Songs but everything necessary is included.
And you're right, in an interview Mario (i think) told this is referring to the industrial production of meat and society consuming it in masses.
...there might be a bit more meaning in it, at least the official video gives some additional inspiration.
*edit: Heilung LIFA - in Maidjan
I've been vegetarian for a few months now and I listen to metal since I was a kid , also a Christian. I just don't have the need and appetite for meat anymore, but I do think there's ways to eat meat and not just blindly indulge into it for sure
no shit animals die for food.
By the way I agree industrial farming is wrong that's why I'm a hunter and vegans can complain about hunting but if the population isnt controlled diseases would spread and animals can actually go instinct! So its helping the environment and I'm getting the most organic meat possible!
@Big Beige Bastard to each their own dude I need meat in my life! Makes me happy and I love to smoke meat!
@Big Beige Bastard yep other animals like bears are even more ruthless the males will savage a little cub! Just the world we live in
You need to see the official clip, amazing :-) With "Stranded" too...
Bravo. I applaud you guys for being Christians but still appreciating the art of music in all of it's various forms. I believe,regardless of religious or political affiliation, music is a great unifier. I myself,am an Atheist but one of my best friends is Christian and I've tried to get him into metal. I think he enjoys it but I also think part of him feels some sort of guilt for enjoying it.
Love Gojira....
OK guys - time for Scar Symmetry - The Illusionist!
Please more Machine Head!
They have so many different sounding songs, but u always will hear some typical machine head things.
I know this song won't be requested that much, but the singers (Robb Flynn) most personal songs is "five", they won't probably never play live.
"Daddy" is the keyword why. But don't care it is not that disturbing, but even more angry! (even it has a creepy touch)
But there are some other cool songs, like "night of long knifes", "now we die", "in comes the flood", "hope begets hope", "behind a mask", "be still and know", "locust", "this is the end", "darkness within", "the sentinel" (Judas priest cover), "clenching the fist of dissent", "halo", "a farewell to arms", "Imperium", "days turn blue to gray", "seasons wither", "descent the shades of night", "bulldozer", "crashing around you" (live from hellalive), "trephination", "deafening silence", "the blood, the sweat, the tears", "the burning red", "ten ton hammer" (extended cut), "the frontlines", "old", "I'm your god now", "death church", "a nation on fire", "blood for blood", "block" and more. :-D
Very cool choice they are amazing !!
Draconian The Gothic Embrace!
Machine Head - Halo (full version)
Yeeeees
You guys would love "War?" by System of a Down
Do you two like comics? I'm trying to decide if I should send you copies of one of my all time favorite comics.
Sori have a big point, I´m not vegan but I´m with her, I´m not from the US but is true, the industry of meat in US is huge and the butchery is in a big industrial level, more meat aviable that can eat and need, with a lot of bad ways to get fat those animals and creating diseases to animals. I´m from Mexico , here is a lot cheaper to buy veggies and fruits than meat, and in some places (states) the quality of meat is organic with no extras fees because is more cheap to feed those animals with natural food instead anabolics and that stuff.
You know, they have shown that all plants are sentient as well. They communicate, science has shown that they feel. So there's that argument as well. Life, feeds on life. I'm pretty sure there's no getting around it.
A reaction to Carach Angren would be great. Songs like "Bitte tötet mich" (Translation: Please kill me) or The Funerary Dirge of a Violonist
What are the name of these documentaries? I would like to know please. I’m always up for more knowledge in our world today open my mind to more things. I’ve seen the silent scream a couple days ago for the first time and it was hard to watch I’m surprised I finished it but I would like to know these animal ones. Like I said I would like to know what’s really going on in our society
Ouiiii Gojira, enfin. Vive Gojira, dieux du metal
Check out Dyscarnate. Their latest album, With All Their Might is a great place to start, and the previous album to that is good as well. Also, get into some The Black Dahlia Murder, probably best place to start is on their Nocturnal album, or just listen to Nightbringers from their latest album. Great stuff. Love the channel, mostly due to your guy’s open mindedness. I am an active christian, and its refreshing to see people of the same general background not condemn any and everything that is metal.
and do Gojira - EMBRACE THE WORLD next time plsssss.. you'll see. Don't let me be another guy who is w8in 5 months for this :D
I like how one song can get to very interesting topic i like this video.
29 minutes in I am in tears for Sori. MEE TOOOOO :( ( back of my mind is screaming : this is what the german people said that you were talking about at the beginning of the reaction :O ) :( this world is sooooo crazy now. :(
I saw this yesterday and forgot to watch it :o Love Gojira. BLIND GUARDIAN are also pretty good ;)
Do Gojira every day! They are my favorite band.
