- 👀This Gojira Amazonia Reaction is probably one of my first soul-ripping journeys no only for musical reasons but because of the visceral angst I have about social injustice - THANK YOU GOJIRA for this track!! 👀

Gojira "Amazonia" // Composer Reaction and Breakdown // The Decomposer Lounge
SOOOOO STOKED!!! Hoping this will stay unblocked but the one I did on KING CRIMSON where they released the block then re-blocked it so fingers crossed!!!
You can say goodbye to that video friend, King Crimson are notorious blockers.
Good stuff dude
Serj Tankian is the singer of SOAD
They have a campaign for this new record to fundraise for the Amazon and they have a bunch of artists giving away gear and stuff to some people that donate
Try Clanadonia..Scottish drum and pipe group. Very amazing
Gojira donates all the proceeds from this song to an organization that helps different tribes in the Amazon...
And they are helping an auction to sell bunch of donated stuff from different musicians for the cause.
"helps" meaning they pocket all but 10% and claim it's because they need to pay their people that work for them
@@codyeakinsbradley most bands don't do anything even close to that, so not sure why you're ripping into them for it.
@@chickenumbre11a66 I'm ripping into non profits that leech off of good intentions
@@codyeakinsbradley Sick how it's true that a lot of Gojira's work will probably be pocketed by a corrupt organization, but you still gotta commend the shit out of them for giving a damn.
Gojira are taking it a step further with Project Amazonia, auctioning gear and collectables in an effort to provide healthcare and support to those who live within and help sustain the Amazonian rainforest.
They're easily one of the most vital metal acts today.
Justin Chancellor is among the people donating instruments for the cause, made me so happy to see his face on the Gojira page.
Sadly, and I would really really want to be less cynical about this (and what Gojira are doing is great, don't get me wrong), as long as Bolsonaro is going to be in charge in Brazil, nothing will fundamentally change. This guy is a complet wacko. Just listen to one of his speeches. Oh, and he also stole the elections and threw Lula in prison of false charges (who was actually doing things for the Amazonia), as if it was not enough.
@@bengagnon2894 As a brazilian, i'm very happy to see that people are paying atention to horrible political situation that we are facing right because of the far right government that sadly got elected at our last presidential election. Bolsonaro and his ministers, as Trump did in the US, everyday are trying to enforce their scorched earth politics at our country.
Right now he is trying everything to get the military forces under his command and start a dictatorship at our country before the next presidential election that will (maybe) happen next year... Is very difficult to be Brazilian right now, not only we are at the center of the covid-19 pandemic, but also have to struggle with a lunatic as president.
Don’t think you would be better off with the left running your country, the people would Be better getting rid of the “elites” and stop relying on them micromanaging our existence
Along with the incredible HEILUNG
«When the last tree is cut down, the last fish is caught and the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that you can't eat money.«, Native american aphorism.
Also used as lyrics by Lamb Of God in the song Reclaimation from the 2008 album Wrath. My favorite song on that album
@@TwinPhoenix666 I think I have 4 favourites from Wrath..equal to me, Reclamation is one for sure.
Also used in The Seed with Aurora. Who also is a hugh fan of Gojira 🤘😊
@@TwinPhoenix666 my dude, the first time I heard that song, I was literally like holy fuck, this is the best thing I’ve ever heard. If I die in some crazy dystopian future, please be to that song lol but for real, super heavy ending which gives me goosebumps every👏🏼single👏🏼time👏🏼
The fact they care more about my country than the people residing here speaks volumes.
A proper boinger of a song, already one of my all-time favourites by them.
Word
Disse tudo
France has a part of the Amazonia on it's territory with Guyane, so it's not all about Brasil ;)
@@louisvivier1537 Brazil has 60% of the Amazon Forest, and is pretty much the only country that's devastating it in a huge scale (at least compared to its neighbors), so yeah it is. Even Gojira say so. Of course France gives importance to the matter (because of French Guiana and - I don't doubt it - economical matters), but when people talk about it, of course they are talking Brazilian government.
It boings soooo hard
Hell yeah, I knew Gojira would make it right again!
Boing boing boing
Doubt Gojira guys had any problem to begin with, propably was record company since the new album aint out yet. Or just weird youtube stuff.
@@Lobossumi its almost never the band themselves, the labels r the ones who pull this bs
Guys, I'm pretty sure that Joe and Mario are avid youtubers that personally saved the day lol
boing boing boing .... try to listen "Karinding" or "Karinding attack" i see on Gojira Instagram, he play "Karinding"
These guys are legit good human beings. They care deeply about the planet and all sentient life that inhabits it. 🤘🤙✌ (Amazonia!!)
They care deeply about all life that inhabit the planet. Except for humans which are parasites in their eyes.
@@overkill1025 not necessarily. Joe said he also believed in hupan being's potential to make great things and he loves hupans as much as he hates them. Don't take the words you want to twist ideas.
@@overkill1025 Well, aren’t we?
@@overkill1025 Life is suffering and we cause most of it.
@@blakemeads9225 Yes and no. We have a choice. I made a conscious decision to change a little over 6 years ago. The work begins in the self and spans outward. Blessings.
Gojira's main theme throughout their career has been environmental and spiritual consciousness.
Oroburus is such an amazing song.
Forget the spiritual hoha and we are all good.
@@jasonsmith666 being in tune with the reality of the universe in which we reside isn't really "spiritual hoha"
@@jasonsmith666 Already feel bad for you haha
@@jasonsmith666 You'll be in my thoughts, Jason.
Amazonia!! This song reminds me of what Sepultura (who are from Brazil) did with their 1996 album 'Roots', incorporating indigenous sounds and patterns into multiple songs on that album, as well as calling attention to the plight of indigenous peoples of the Amazon.
I want Geebz to do Ratamahatta so bad!
And of course 'Kaiowas' from the 'Chaos A.D.' album.
ROOTS! this is exactly what i thought of the first time i heard this track. Great song and an even more important message. Thanks Geebz!!
Obligatory Fubanga maloca bocada comment
@@hogie23 Killing joke for me.
Enviromentalism has always been a very consistent theme in Gojira. What's funny for most Gojira fans is that they used to abstractly package their messages like most artist do, but with this single they just straight up tell it to your face that the Amazon is on fire and it's fucked up, let's do something about it
"Global warming"
"Toxic garbage island"
Im sorry but im gonna say they were always upfront about it.
@@MmeHyraelle I laughed. Man's got a point.
Clone would like to have a word lol
Gojira are in a league of their own. They have taken on a lamb of god meets tool genre change and it's messing with everyone but we love it. You can't appreciate the fullness of this song without hearing the whole album and realizing the evolution that is gojira. I am glad to have been alive to witness it.
I love that im hearing tribal throat singing more often these days
Have you ever tried Sepultura - Roots Bloody Roots?
That Mongolian band comes to mind
Hu
Yea guttural singing is so nice and metal growling is related to it. It fits well.
The HU, not to be confused with The Who
I can’t get enough of this track and this review.📈⚡️
Mr. Paik! Happy to see you here!
Boing boing boing beiong bong beeng
You’re right about Gojira being self produced. The lead singer, Joe Duplantier produced their last 3 albums (including this one), and was with Andy Wallace during the mix session of this album.
Gojira has lots of songs talking about environmental destruction. One of my favorite among those is "Toxic Garbage Island", about the immense pollution humans cause!
Plastic! Bag in the sea!
@@blocksize1130 Plastic! Bag in the sea!
11 months later, PLASTIC BAG IN THE SEAAAAA
"The greatest miracle is burning to the ground." Great song with a great message...Let's hope it stays unblocked!
GOJIRA has said that this track is a tribute of sorts to SEPULTURA. That being said I " believe " that is a berimbau ( the mouth harp sound) Max Cavaler of SEPULTURA ( and SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, NAILBOMB, KILL OR BE KILLED ) has been known to play one now and again and I believe it is fairly popular in Brazil. Amazonia!!
AWWWRIGHT 🤙🤙 Btw , 160 reactions in a handful of months is amazing!!! Thank you !!!
That doesn't sound like a berimbau. I'm brazilian and did quite a few years of capoeira lessons when I was a child. Berimbau was played there always.
That's more likely a mouth harp or a "berimbau de boca" as it is known around here. It's not the same instrument as a typical berimbau.
@@caiograciano7562 , that is why I said I "believe " , not I know!
@@larryhaug71 Sorry if I sounded aggressive or something. I was just clarifying.
@@caiograciano7562 no worries, my friend. After going back and listening to some SOULFLY, I can definitely hear the difference. Thanks for the knowledge . Btw, mad respect for capoeira!
now do "The Chant" also by Gojira, that's more soulcrushing IMO (video just released 2 hours ago)
If you like the activism then, as a Hawaiian surfer, Toxic Garbage Island might resonate with you. In that case it might be worth while, as an exception ;), to take a look at the lyrics too.
I saw someone call Gojira Environmetal. Which is nice.
Should also checkout the song Blood and Salt, if I remember correct Devin Townsend and Frederik Thordendal collaborated with them on it
They comme from Ondres, it's a surf spot in France, and during their childhood they had to deal with the human wastes in the ocean, that built their environmental conscience.
“There’s fire in the sky
You’re in the Amazon
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground”
This hits so hard.
Gojira has been on point with their videos lately. They are seriously committed to getting our attention on very important issues.
This is the power of Gojira that we all love. Even without the video the emotion of the music cuts through so beautifully and heads straight for, as you say "center". It's empowering and eye opening. Thank you as always. You're breakdown's really are fantastic! Amazonia!!
You asked if any of the band members works with the sound engineering of the records, this is what Joe Duplantier said about their second album on Spotify's Metal Talks in 2016:
"We did our second record ourselves. At home. We bought some gear, we took a loan at the bank. [...] We bought a console, Pro Tools, some mics, renovated the garage and created our own studio in France. And we recorded our second album, I remember the first day when we gathered to record, we were reading the manual, how it works, the Pro Tools and how to plug everything, and that's in 2002. We did this album, The Link, struggled a lot to record and to mix, but we did it. So that's why the sound is so weird, some people are like 'oh, it's interesting' but for us it was like, we didnt' really achieve the goal we had in mind"
Nowadays, Gojira has their own studio in New York, so they probably work very closely with the engineer. Maybe you should listen to a song from this The Link album to hear how it sounds. I recommend "Remembrance" ;)
Oh cool, I never dove in to their process before. That's really interesting and inspiring information. :)
No wonder they are so tight when they've been putting this much effort in from the beginning.
Thanks for sharing :)
this! good to see some love for The Link, remembrance is top 5!
I can’t get through the link. It’s cool but I love the link alive way more.
Woohoo glad this is back. Sensible heads prevailed.
The Amazon is my mother's back yard. This hits close to home, literally. There was no doubt in my mind this project would hit you the same way, a conscious being like yourself.
Great reaction as always. I'm glad we got to see it!
What's up twin
@@paulbroeker1996 😁😁😁
This song speaks to my soul. It makes me feel like "action" needs to be taken, I always used to listen it for my workouts, seeing the music video is kinda heartbreaking...
I really recommend their song Global Warming, the live studio performance
Their best video ever. So, so good.
This is almost a Sepultura Song from the 90’s. Roots from Sepultura would be a sick song or Rattamahatha.
Flexing the string beyond the nut to accentuate the mouth harp is a really nice touch.
The band has mentioned that musically, this song is a tribute to Sepultura
Not only is Gojira raising awareness with this track, they are also raising money for charity by auctioning instruments and other memorabilia from many popular musicians. They are really trying to make a difference, and it's awesome.
AMAZONIA!!! Awwwright!
I love Gojira, I love you reacting to them and praising the bassist. Many undermine his talent because it's not as obvious or flashy as the the lead Singer or Drummer. AMAZONIA!!
Before this album was announced I joked to my friend that Gojira’s next song was gonna be called “amazon on burn.”
Joe said this song is an hommage to Sepultura. So, could be interrsting for you to decompose some Sepultura (which is a major metal band), espacially some "roots" song, like roots bloody roots for example.
Gojira are massively into environmental activism. There’s many songs of theirs which support that. They have a way of writing lyrics which are super poetic, but they’re put with aggressive sounding instruments and it works perfectly. They certainly get their message across
Great vid! This new one is growing on me. Your immediate appreciation for the droning, tribal, throat-singing element of this tune suggests to me that you need to check out their song Art of Dying, as soon as possible. Monstrous, final boss Gojira tune
not sure why no one is watching this reaction..lol but thanks Geebz!.. Gojira is one of my favorite bands.. since theres a good chance you'll see this comment. I recommend Periphery's Garden in the bones! bye Geebz : ) we love you
It got pulled with a copyright strike. Geebz appealed. Looks like they let it go. Great for us.
Amazonia!! Love it as always!
Really? Dude idk this song just isn’t it to me. I think into the storm and Born for one thing are okay. But, nothing yet on that album is like omg yes!
@@benluna6158 totally, so far is just an ok record
@@ignaciojauregui7423 yeah dude that’s what I think! They haft to atleast have one song on the album that is amazing right? They haft to
The paradox of the heartbreaking and unnerving imagery vs the reality that everything from the bands equipment to the electricity used to record it is part and parcel of the mindset that is exploiting the Amazon...there is no easy way to resolve or reconcile...here's to hoping that the efforts of the band have positive results....great song great breakdown of its components....
I honestly don't know how to describe this except "powerful". And proof that there is good out there, which is powerful in itself.
Amazonia!! Great breakdown as usual. Appreciate your insights.
What a track!! *heart broken* Gojira are THE BEST!
Amazonia!! This track by Gojira clearly reminded me of Sepultura and some recent Alice in Chains productions. So glad to see this environmental matter turning out into a global discussion, but at the same time so sad to see the Amazon jungle burning at unprecedent rates... as a Brazilian who used to visit the Amazon at least twice a year, it's just heartbreaking to see this nature's miracle disappearing in front of our eyes. Problems there are so complex to solve and we really need it to be a global matter. Thanks Gojira!
Amazonia!! Great reaction - glad I caught it! These guys just keep getting better and better!
These guys have always been one of my favorites and knowing the impact they’re making on the world with songs and efforts like this make me so happy! Thanks for doing a breakdown on this one! Amazonia!!
I wasn't gonna listen to this song until the album dropped, but can't resist your reactions dude, so fuck it here goes 🤘🤘🤘🤘
This was such an emotional song/video, thank you. Love this band so much!
"Gojira - The Chant" would be awesone for a video :) great work, thanks for doing this
Something about the way you break down songs is refreshing, i could watch your videos all day and never get bored. Thanks for all the great content
It physically hurts to watch this video because of all the horrible stuff that is happening to our world and the fact that the big corporations who are mainly responsible for this are actually protected by governments. The feeling of being powerless is just overwhelming. It's so saddening and disgusting.
Just woke up and saw this!! What a way to start the day!! That's 2 Gojira tracks this week! Thanks Geebz!!!!
AMAZONIA!! Such an epic song glad you got it unblocked - at least long enough for some of us to see it!🤙🏻🤙🏻
brilliant these are my new favourite band ,diving deep ..thanks Geebz ,love yer videos X your a cool guy!!
Absolutely love your heartfelt and emotional reviews.
Great analysis, always a pleasure to listen to you picking out the details of the songs.
This is just so powerful, from the lyrics, musicianship, and imagery. Just so powerful!
YESSSSS!!! So glad to see some new Gojira material decomposing 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥
Lets gooooooo! Love you man, looking forward to this one.
I love watching/listening to you break down the music and pay respects to the musicianship. Its also cool to you sort of "getting into" what you're hearing. There's not much else that tickles a metalheads heart than turning someone onto metal or introducing someone a new song and them liking it.
AMAZONIA!! love gojira! be well geebz! and thank you for sharing this! \m/
Nice!! Their new stuff is next level amazing.
Appreciate the technical advice naught from years of expertise and experience that you share with the community. Thank you
I knew you'd love that jaws-harp as soon as it came on! :D Thanks again for a whole nother level of insights as only YOU can provide!
Amazonia!! Love you Geebz!!
I adore that you actually have VALUE in your content. Other react videos are generally completely vacant view grabs.
Thank you!
Perfect elaboration on a perfect song.. You really understand, feel and know music... Cheers
Great rection sir, i love Gojira and i love what they do!!! Amazonia!!
Love you, bro. Thanks for doing what you do.
In the outro of the song one thing that I hear and really like is the snare drum, if you listen closely you can hear the drummer alternates from hitting the snare and, I believe, hitting the snare and rim causing a "POP", then a "POP" with a metallic echo, could be done with effects also, but either way it's a little hook at the end of the song for me. Awesome video!
Thank you for getting the message out that the block was lifting! Loving the really heavy breakdown of this track- I'm so stoked for when the album finally drops!
Hey, some stoner metal/ sludge metal song recs:
Sleep "Marijuanaut's Theme" (Goofy name, I know! Give it a listen you will NOT regret it!)
Elder "The Falling Veil" (Highly underappreciated band!)
SLIFT "Ummon" (French up-and-comers. Really promising group!)
Gojira is exactly the band we need in times like these! Dope channel by the way cheers~!
Amazonia!! What a great Video, both , gojira and your breakdown. It touched me emotionally very deep. Thank you. Awwwwright.
This is so on point! Glad the bass player is getting the recognition he deserves.
Very clever that the chorus we remember is "the greatest miracle, is burning to the ground". Very hard and sad to forget every time you listen that the Amazon dies more every day.
Very smart activism through music and subliminal messages.
Amazonia!!
I just love your reviews! The human side of the song, plus the intensity of the video really touches us in the center of our soul. Specially for Brazilian’s like me.
That kind of fight your generation fought so hard to present to the world during the 80’s and 90’s can’t be forgotten. And the music is a powerful toll to promote it.
Keep tour good work with your awesome reviews!
By the way, I’ll pay more attention to the bass lines next time I listen to the song (which is now).
amazonia!! those guys are so nice, they're even raising money for the amazon people
awesome man, i love this song
'"The Chant" is another really emotional song from Gojira's new album- Fortitude. Would love to see your take on it.
AMAZONIA !! love the track, love the review
Amazonia!! Yep still here. Best one yet for me Geebz.
Amazônia!! Also, I really digged into your perspective about not only the environmental awareness that Gojira brings, but also the "reality and existence" awareness as a whole.
As a person who took it further being on psychosis two times in my life, being struggling with the coherence about the relations and structures of all of our History, Culture and Technology as Human Beings, experiences like hearing Gojira, seeing you reaction, reading the comments, people liking it and internalizing the experiences, that / this is transcendental.
However, what bothers me the most is that this is like a privilege for most of the people around the world because they are not only struggling to maintain, coercitively, this nocive and toxic structure of socioeconomics but are occupied trying to survive, you know?
And this kind of experience has no place in their lives, or is replaced with placebos and religions, which I understand the values too but they serve as a way to drain energy and philosofical thinking aswell, taking advantage over those people's suffering.
We really need more true involvement and care with each other and our reality, not embelishment and stuff disguising irresponsibility.
Keep it up!
To what you said about self-engineering: Joe (vocalist) co-owns Silver Cord Studios in New York with Elliott Hoffman (Car Bomb drummer)
Amazonia!! Loved seeing your reaction, first time watching a video by you and I enjoyed the intensity of your listening. I understand it's a professional thing, but all the while, I think you truly show respect and reverence to the music by your dedication.
Also, Gojira climbed straight up into my top 5 favourite bands forever after only hearing the 4 songs they've released for the new album so far ♥️
C'était une belle réaction. Message, images, paroles qui prennent aux tripes. Colère, tristesse. Cocktail émotionnel.
Man, I really fucking appreciate you doing this video and voicing your thoughts on the subject matter as well as the music.
Amazonia!! awesome vid!
"The greatest miracle...Is burning to the ground"
Geebz, I love your positive energy and I know you don't listen to the lyrics but I know something deep inside heard that clearly through the music regardless. This was an important musical statement by a band that has deep connections to the environment and you absolutely tuned directly into that energy. Thank goodness that this was unblocked and you were able to give your thoughts.
Amazonia!! Love ya Geebz
There’s fire in the sky
You’re in the Amazon
The greatest miracle
Is burning to the ground!
Love this song! Even though it sinks my heart 😥
It does however reaffirm my mission to restore and preserve native prairie & wetlands on the family land I grew up on in south east South Dakota, USA. The American tall grass prairies have been over 99% destroyed and restoring & preserving this tiny 200 acre remnant is merely a speck in something that once spanned over many millions of acres. The fact the Amazon is heading the way of the American prairies is heartbreaking.
Also enjoy your breakdown videos, keep it up!
It's such a great sounding song. I have not listened to this group much (yet), but this one is so impressive
You’re in for a treat :)
Ну послушай ещё, не пожалеешь)
@@getstickbugged_lol950 последний альбом уже заслушал) предыдущие пока часто тяжеловатыми кажутся
Many bands write and perform for good causes, but it is fairly rare that someone takes it to the level that Gojira has here - they have been and still are in direct contact, working with the tribes, they are divulging and fundraising for the amazon and for the people that need it, they are teaming up with tons of other amazing bands to contribute, riling up the troops, etc.
They are not only calling to the listener to make a difference like a lot of bands do, they are leading the charge as individuals. That's why this is so sick. Thank you for working toward getting this unblocked, and congrats on succeeding.
I mean you really can't just watch that and go on with your day! That's their intention and I'm glad that you went with it as much as you did. I'd watch you do a whole thing on musical activism too. Awwwright!
What a great song - music-wise and with such an important message and content, especially in those days, when everything seems to be overlayed by Corona... And thanks a lot, Geebz, that you share your personal point of view with us. It is so important that we are indignant about this ugly truth!
Early Sepultura vibe at the start. So good.
Amazonia!! What a banger and a half of a tune. All the singles from this album have been 10/10, has me VERY stoked for the full release. 🤘
I've heard metal songs that bang, but I've never heard one that boings, until Amazonia
Great tune! Worthy message.
If you liked that try some old school Sepultura- Roots bloody roots-
Soulfly - Ritual
Nailbomb , Point blank
Wonder what you’ll make of Max Cavalera (and his brother)! Aloha🤙🏻
I've been watching you since you first started brother. Keep the cool as shit videos and commentary coming!
This master piece is deep and very powerfull.
Amazonia!! great dive in and deconstruction.
