"I have to find the whales"
*confused head banging*
4:17 the look in his eyes, the shock. i genuinely envy the people who hear this kind of music for the first time, experiencing this piece of heaven for the first time
He is mood
You still chasing that metal high you got the first time lol
Not this time lucky
This music is boring. Not that it's bad but y'know not creative imo
Ma bucur ca mai sunt si alti romani care apreciaza muzica adevarata :)!
Oh he's listening to Flying Whales so i must comment WHAAAAAAAAAALES
Tosi Mattia WHAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLEEEEEEESSSSSSS
WHAAAAAAAALES!
I love this
whaaaaaaales lol
flying f**king whaaaaales!!
Dude: I like this already!
My thought: You know nothing yet..
The concept behind this gojira album is the most important to understand their message. The album represents that the earth is done and human civilization are leaving"mars" to reach "sirius". All the songs in the album represents every step of this interdimensional "travel" that mankind is doing to reach out sirius. At the last song in the album they finish the song with saying that "We will see our children growing" because mankind reached sirius. Gojira has this environmental preservation message that appears in many songs of them, that make one of a few bands in metal that actually sings a bout it.
Felipe Andreas you think the whales in flying whales is referring to not only whale over-hunting but also giant spaceships travelling through the cosmos? Just a thought.
Lucia Sýkorová I couldn't agree more!
Cattle Decapitation lyrics are all about the exact same thing. How mankind are destroying our own planet.
Ed Alchorn Cattle Decapitation is awesome dude!
Ed Alchorn I didn't know about the lyrics themes
Dude: "Shit the could just play this for the entire 7 minutes! I'm down bro!"
Gojira: "Bet"
Yes.
THIS is why I love Gojira.
Gojira: Are you challenging me?
Me: nah...not takin that. I heard stuff.
Gojira: "I gotchu fam"
This is exactly what I expect from people when introducing them into metal. It makes me sad that most of my friends are very reluctant about it :c
Arely Rodríguez No saben lo que se pierden, ja ja
they are reluctant because they dont want to be infected with greatness. because if they do they will trade their gummy bears and unicorns for visceral carnage and cerebuses.
Un clásico, siempre me pasa ! Fuck them jjajaja
I'm trying, like you, to get understand the real message, the real music composition, for some friends... But to be understood, the kind of music is too hard in the first heard !!! I became with SOAD or RATM, to begin the music lesson !!! But i can say that some rare people loved them immediatly, that rare clever humans :p
Cambia de amigos... alv.
Gojira is one of my favorite bands in the world. Their music is so unique.
Agreed
Petko Tsikov meshuggah, morbid angel,
Amen to that
They write songs like no other band I love that pick scrape and that hard pinch
@@petkotsikov2472 opeth
Sooo weird his headbanging tempo XD
Fernando Marcos Macías yeah I thought the same lol
Maybe the song and video are not quite in sync
People focus on different parts of the song some go of the snare some of the kicks and others guitar riff
he is new down here!
but doesn't all the intruments play on same tempo... though Gojira is a prog metal band and has unique time signature the tempo still is the same for all intruments..
If you made it all the way through to Gojira, you have to admit, that you're no longer an actual HIP-HOP HEAD :D
He found truth in Metal like we did :) he's part of the Metal Family
One of us! One of us!
All hail the hip-hop gatekeeper!
He became the Ultimate Form of Life, half metalhead and half hip-hop head
Man, it's like gojira has a supernatural ability to create great riffs. The first riff in this song is definitely my favorite, but theres so many great riffs by then
Lucas Oliveira vacuity bro
ONE WORD >>> OROBOROUS!!!
Lucas Oliveira furreal... friends.
This is what you get from an eclectic metal band. The best there is right here.
I bet God listens to this and is like. Damn their so good.
This is my first time hearing Gojira and i like what i hear.
I would definitely recommend them! The albums From Mars To Sirius and Magma are fantastic.
@@V3xxe The Link, Terra Inc, TWOAF and L'enfant Sauvage are also masterpieces!
I like all their albums.
Listen to the Gift of Guilt
Check out “In The Forest”, “L’Enfant Sauvage”, “Explosia”, “Silvera”, and “Stranded”. Those are my favs
Has anyone else ever noticed that these non metalhead youtubers who start doing metal song reaction videos (who actually ease themselves into it and do the videos all the time) endup becoming metalheads themselves and enjoying it
Yeah man its awesome to see
DevoutionAura damn right
Chris Brown A lot of them are just wanabes this dude and lost in vegas are dope.
Chris Brown it’s the metal, it does it to you, brings you into the metal family, one of us....one of us....one of us haha
I like hectic too
Hearing the last breakdown section of this song live is literally a life changing experience. The guys are absolutely incredible live.
Yup. I want it so bad.
Holy crap this!! Saw them at welcome to Rockville a couple years ago and the best way I can describe it live is a wall of sound that feels like it would hold you up if you leaned into it like a strong wind. They are on my bucket list of bands to see again.
Saw Gojira and Mastodon last month and I'm a huge fan of both bands. My wife likes post-2011 Mastodon but never really got into Gojira. After the show she said to me "I can see why you like them so much." They put on such a great show.
Flying whales was the first Gojira song I listened to and it blew me away! I had to acclimate to the heaviness too but after some listens I was hooked.
It was cool to listen to Flying Whales again and see a positive reaction from a first timer, my friends and family just can't stand the screaming and heavy guitars lol
I heard flying whales for the first time today and I'm amazed
That's the same exact story for me
Slowly Alex will be a Metalhead I swear
you're not wrong!
In a couple years he will be doing live reactions at metal festivals and such :P
he probably will
I like that Alex Hefner is open minded about music. My musical listening range goes from old blues and jazz to death metal. Not alot of country, but I can jam almost anything else. The beat plays alot into it for me.
He is saving his final form(Metal Alex) for emergencies.(Don't ask me how I know, I just do.)
The Art of Dying. Enough said. Best Gojira song ever.
The Way of All Flesh is my favourite Gojira album
Global warming ♥
VikingSchism indeed. Also, Born in winter
MetalOfAllOwns l’enfaunt sauvage nuff said
Born In Winter
React to either stranded or heaviest matter of the universe by gojira
13Banger Bro starnded is pretty boring in my opinion
YES YES, HEAVIEST MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE!!! It's EXTREMELY heavy, but it tricks you into loving it because it's so clever and it lets you adjust to what other metal bands normally just throw you into the deep water with.
I wouldn't call Stranded boring, but it's definitely not their best song. I think it's a great introduction song to get you into Gojira. The Heaviest Matter of the Universe is straight up nasty though. The main verse riff is the best riff I've ever heard lol.
Matt Maltese everyone has opinions
heaviest riff of the universe
First experience with Gojira was seeing them live in Baltimore. Went to a Mastadon show and Gojira opened up for them. Ended up liking Gojira’s show more! It was amazing.
I see SO MANY PEOPLE say this, it's awesome lmao. Wish I could've seen them live for my first intro to them
The bass-guitar sound of gojira is sooo underrated man. A lot of people tend to highlight only mario's drums sound and technique (which is amongst the best currently btw), but te bass is so ffffucking dope, and you can really apreciate it in songs like this one, or Global Warming. So awesome, unique tone and beautiful simplicity. It gives the band a lot more depth.
Bass is often underappreciated, which is sad as a bassist lol Have you heard Beyond Creation? If you havent definitely check them out, their bassist plays a fretless 6 string and the tones he gets with it are out of this world
I'm so glad that someone else is in here mentioning how goooood that bass guitar is, it MAKES the song lol. And yeah, Mario's is the best drumming I've personally ever heard lmao
when u explore metal for a very long time, understanding its sophistication, complexity & how the genre gets driven musically, it all comes to evolve towards progressive metal music. Bands like gojira & opeth really explored those places really well in terms of maturity with almost scholarly musical excellence.
You got it. Gojira and Opeth are two of my favorite bands
you forgot about Death
Well said🤘
Lyrics???? It's here ^^
Water of chaos
Have invaded all space
The flood on earth again
I have to find the whales
That once did guides us
To dry lands of life
I won't despair
I'll break this dark all around
Under the heavy sea
I'll search the flight of whales
Beneath the seas I searched
And had a different view
Of us on earth
The sinking ship of men
But it's beyond the stars
I found the place
Where they were
And they finally came to light
Over the winds
They dwell in light
Like the arrow in the sky
I found myself on higher grounds
From up here
For I see them in flight
Now I can see the whales
Looming out of the dark
Like arrows in the sky
I can't believe my eyes
But it's true
Huge tunnel ends in light
Like banks of clouds they gather
See massive shape of flesh
Swimming giants in the clear
The mightiest comes to me
I'm on the wing, wide open
They teach me how to fly
Slowly moving in the air
So much told with no words at all
Powerful presence for only speech
Breath
Over the winds
They dwell in light
Fly
Le Beurrichon how the f these guys are poets
@@profound369 all of their songs are just poetical masterpieces. just check out The Way Of All Flesh and Art Of Dying or To Sirius or Global Warming
Gojira is from a 3 650 people city in france, Ondres. and a freind of my father (45yo) often went surfing with them when they were like 17. this make me realise how far they went omg
By the way, you should listen to their newest album, called Magma
MAIS BORDEL J'AI LE DROIT
They recently said their hometown was Biarritz so I'm not sure :(
“I could listen to this for the whole 7 minutes!” You will don’t worry
“Makes me wish i had hair”
It's also about nature, with global warming (a song in the album as well), it's supposed that, since the earth is flooded (like they said in the song) whales would appeared to be flying since all the planet would be covered by the seas, but why he searches for them, don't know
I think that he searches for the 'Flying Whales' for them to teach him how to fly, or something like that. All of this is in the actual story narrated in the album.
I think you would really really enjoy their song Born In Winter, and Vacuity. Both absolutely amazing
Yes yes yes. I've always thought Born in Winter was their most accessible song. And Vacuity is just straight up their best song ( in my opinion anyway)
Nevarek my 2 favorite songs:)
Vacuity is my favorite
My favorite song of theirs always changes because ill overplay it and move on to another.
Ive been doing this for like 3 years
Vacuity is absolutely up there for me also.
Gojira are Legends!
GOJIRA-HEAVIEST MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE
Alex. Please buy a guitar. You have been blessed with long fingers and could be a freaking amazing player. And youtube content would be sick
He needs to give it a slap a da bass
@@baconslap9417 man I don't het how people enjoy a person cashing out on italian accemt and humour that's nothing but ass in bass. Haha funny.
im so happy he finally got one
How long your fingers are doesn't make you automatically have the potential to be a good musician. Look at Michael Romeo from Symphony-X.
Jerusalem Syndrome if there is any “potential” when it comes to playing guitar, it would be from length of fingers. it simply makes it easier and allows for shapes that are physically impossible for others. it all depends on how much you practice
You should react to GOJIRA's 'Stranded'. Definitely that song will give you another perspective of the band.
SicklessHell or wolf down the earth
Same band, same album, "Where Dragons Dwell"
Jose Fuentes love that song so much 😳
Same, i love this song so much too
Opeth - Ghost of perdition.. this song has lots of calm and extreme moments.
absolutely...
Black Rose Immortal! Even Better!
I was gonna say Black Rose Immortal too lol
Black Rose Immortal!!!
Not a big fan of opeth but I see this song recommended everywhere heard it too a bit too heavy for this guy at the moment I think haha ease him into it ?
dude, you're openness to new and different music has made me a fan! this is awesome to see someone not just discover gojira, but go and find out what they are about. cheers
Gojira = pure musical perfection.
Gojira is part of the genre of metal known at “prog metal” or progressive, which usually entails long, soft, original sounding instrumentals
Aren't they a technical death band?
Prog death i think
@@zareskaralis747 prog technical death
@@bingustsblingo with a dash of groove
They’re technical death.
Gojira gives me a Norwegian Black Metal vibe. Like we in Norway have Trolls and other mystic creatures in the projection of the lyrics, France has flying Whales. Not literally.. but this song just gives me the same vibes. If I close my eyes it's like an intense fantasy movie. Like Pan's Labyrinth.
Still the best Gojira song ever written
Where dragons dwell?
The art of dying ? spatially the live at vieilles charrues festival 2010
Easily their most iconic
This emptiness is mine!
I would like to retract my statement, after listening to more gojira I can't pick a favourite, but it's probably The Art of Dying, Love, or Esoteric Surgery
I cried in a crowd of sweaty people hearing these lads live in Oslo. They are SOMEHOW even better live...
The ringing in your ears after the song means you listened to it loud enough. Always a good thing. Welcome to the metal family brother.
Devin Townsend "'Kingdom' for EMGtv"
I cannot recommend this enough
Ooh yes pls
You'd really like Opeth
benme upinside I dont think he has the musical aptitude to like something so good to be honest.
philip ketchum i think you're not giving him enough chances
Opeth is for everyone, even my gf(doesn't likes metal at all) likes some Opeth songs
SadisticKillerXx from the laet album then yes, but most of the other albums are for metalheads. you're not gonna be able to make her listen to the grand conjuration it she's not used to growls
She is not used to growls, but Opeth has acoustic/clean singing songs like To Bid You Farewell, Credence, Face of Melinda, Benighted, Harvest, Hours of wealth, the whole damnation. Also Epilogue is a very good instrumental song
I know I asked for Amon Amarth before, but this reminded me that Bathory is another great band. Miss you Quorthon.
Gojira is one of the only reasons I am listening to metal. I am from the Black Sabbath era. I am not into the typical metal screamo bands. Gojira have depth, meaning, maturity, and haunting melodies, not your typical description of a death metal band, but a perfect description of Gojira. Lucky me, I am soon going to see them live at Heavy Montreal. This should be a real treat. Likely one of those once in a lifetime experiences.
give tool a listen
"screamo metal"
Who considers "screamo" metal ffs
What's funny is Gojira is even death metal, they're progressive metal
@@AlphaXbot they're progdeath
Try listen to Death if you like songs with great meanings
Gojira is not simply music gojira is a piece of art at its finest definition
HEAVIEST MATTER OF THE UNIVERSE by Gojira
Backbone best breakdown
That outro FUCKS me up EVERY time
is a sick breakdown but the one that always gets me is the breakdown/outro to L'Enfant Sauvage
Simon Oliver Remembrance’s outro gallop 🤤
Yes
BEAT YOUR FEAT ON THE GROUND AND *fucking city turns to rubble*
Tool-Reflection please, you'll hear 3 minutes of just instruments
Listening to Reflection alone is useless..you have to listen to Disposition,Reflection and Triad in row.
jokes on you im using dark theme
dream theater XDDD
I tried to rub of my screen when I saw your photo lol
I agree 100%
Listen to silvera and stranded by gojira next
He did
@@nicolausteslaus What is your problem?
Joe Duplantier's vocals are simply beautiful; often haunting and he conveys emotion exquisitely. This was the song that I was introduced to 13 years ago by my friend and I instantly fell in love. I go see them every year or two and I stand mesmerised by him. No jumping around, just mesmerised, soaking the vocals up. They melt my heart.
Strapping Young Lad - Love?
Josh Grooves dude you'll kill the poor guy.. Slow and steady
Surprised hes gotten to gojira.
The metal is strong with this one
Andrew Trader this gojira song is more extreme than love. Love is actually quite tame for SYL and it has a great groove plus clean and screaming vocals. I think he'll dig it!
How about detox instead
Oh My Fucking God instead
Maybe some of Devin Townsend’s other stuff would be better since he’s just getting into metal
Gojira - Stranded!!
Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Avenged Sevenfold - Beast and the Harlot
Doug Ray I fucking love beast and the harlot
Unholy Confessions
I love that you're feelin metal bro. I wish more people would give this type of music a chance..some of the best musicians on the planet are in metal but because its alot of down tuned instrumentals and heavy vocals people dismiss it. This is some of the last purest music on the planet and the fact that you're helping spread the love is amazing. You're doing more than just reacting to metal videos, you're helping bridge a gap between genres...you're introducing your fans of other genres to this type of music and I appreciate the hell out of it. Makes me wanna do the same..I'm a hip hop/metal head all day and I'd love to see these two different cultures come together more often
well said
Hey bud, i just discovered your channel a couple days ago, and let me tell you, u have all my respect. really! I appreciate the acceptance u have for metal music and Art in general, and the way u deal with it. People with different music tastes should be like you :)
So, wanna hear some artistic shit? Try this one out "Devin Townsend Project - Deadhead (live at the royal albert hall)." Believe me, you won't regret this I'm really sure
Adam Levi hevy devy !!!
I love the fact that you have an open mind. The fact that you listen to this music without any prejudice is really showing because you seem to enjoy it straight away!
Meshuggah!
Bleed!!
Combustion, Demiurge, Pravus... or go older Meshuggah and grab something off Chaosphere or Nothing or I
Meshuggah - war-
I
Destroy erase improve
GOJIRA baby!!!!
Go on the journey! Silvera, Gift of Guilt, Stranded, Explosia
Definitely recommend Silvera. The groove in that riff should appeal to a hip hop fan. I love it when the heavier metal bands do something that you can almost dance to or bob your head to but it's still heavy and aggressive.
Im actually suprised that you liked that song, its quite heavy and thus for advanced listeners of this genre. When non-metal friends ask me to describe how i like that music I always compare metal to an acquired taste like alcohol for example. The first drink tastes like ass but then you get acustomed to it and start to develope a taste and youre able to tell the diffrence between whiskey and vodka. Same with this music, you cant start off with something heavy like this and immediately like it without being exposed to heavy music before. Youre making quick progress though alex :). Keep up the great work dude
thank you for this comment my man! i feel like it is like watching a new show. the first few episdoes, you are unsure and once youre a season or 2 deep, youre hooked
Valz Ron thats a really good way to put it. but all good music is likw that...cant understand it at first and then slowly becomes the best thing youve ever heard.
Valz Ron for me this music brings me to trance. I have seen them for 4 times live now and it getting better and better.
Valz Ron
Metal is very much an acquired taste just like whiskey. You start out gagging then before you know it sipping smooth scotch like water.
This is was literally the first gojira I heard and I instantly fell in love with it, I wouldn't compare it to alcohol because I don't drink, gojira is like the finest dark chocolate you can find, but not the most bitter, it's strong taste is being balanced by the sweet and zesty fruits(the melodic parts) to the perfect amount, and it is my favorite band :)
You should see this song played live-when I saw them live I was sadly in the balcony, but when the guitars kicked in the fucking crowd turned into a moving mass, and when it kicked in for real it was like the floor had turned into a mosh pit-fucking incredible.
Toxic Garbage Island next? :^)
React to A Perfect Circle - The Package
The lead singer is Maynard James Keenan who is also the lead singer of Tool.
That whole record is incredible. Fyi.
Kris Mackey That's true!
The intro of that song is so cool and depressing
Then straight to Count Bodies like Sheep to the Rythm of the War Drums!
DUDE IM TELLING U ....U WILL BE BLOWN AWAY IF YOU LISTEN TO SOME OPETH PLSsssss
GB Productions fuck yeah!
Yes yes this a million times
Something like Bleak, Harvest or The Leper Affinity
100% true
BLACK ROSE IMMORTAL!
Deftones - Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)
dame fortuna or xerces, both amazing songs
Dude, you get him into deftones and it's all over.
Some Gojira must-listens are "In The Wilderness" and "Explosia". Two of the heaviest songs ever. In The Wilderness has arguably one of the best outros of any song I've heard, with Explosia coming in a close second.
Gojira recommendations-
Backbone
Heaviest matter of the universe
Toxic garbage island
Remembrance
Of blood and salt
Silvera
L'enfant sauvage
Gift of guilt
Born in winter
Art of dying
Stranded
Flying Whales is easily my favorite Gojira song... and From Mars to Sirius is arguably the best Gojira album... basically what I’m tryna say is, you made a damn good choice bro 🤘🤘
thank you! it wasn't my choice it was a request! these Hefnerds are smart!
It's a wee bit overrated, seems to be the only album/song people know that don't actually listen to gojira. I prefer the link!
Andrew Teller The Link... Uhhh, it has some great stuff but it's not as good as FMTS or TWoAF
Andrew Teller Inward Movement and Wisdom Comes are VERY kick-ass tho
Andrew Teller uhhhh.... I don't know man. like the link, every album of theirs is awesome, but don't really see how it compares to FMTS. And just cause a song is popular doesn't make it bad or overrated. A song can be super popular and also be amazing, take bohemian rhapsody for instance. Idk, that's my opinion. And I'm sure your preference for the link isn't just based on the popularity of the album, but I don't think it should be a contributing factor.
I like that he called Gojira a Heavy Metal band 🤣🤣🤣. I like your reaction! :)
Gojira are definitely masters of letting the instruments do the talking, particularly on this album. Songs like Global warming and Ocean planet just ooze feeling purely through the instruments for long periods on end. I love it
Gojira is philosophy, poetry, music and metaphisics all in one. No band like Gojira.
Gojira - The heaviest matter of the universe live at brixton academy!
The band's name sounds like the Japanese pronunciation of Godzilla.
Robert Sanders Actually, Godzilla is the American pronunciation of Gojira
Cuz it is.
u wot mate Not sure man, I speak english and when i see the word 'gojira', usually I don't hear the word 'godzilla'
Wizard : The japanese dont have the ''zi'' sound in their syllabic alphabet, hence the ''ji'' which is the closest phonetically, and they pronounce ''ra'' and ''la'' exactly the same way. So ''gojira'' is how an occidental would pronounce '' godzilla'' when writen in that syllabic ''katakana'' alphabet. Prononced by a Japanese you would hear Gojila. Can't get any clearer than that.
It is, and they used to be named Godzilla. They switched their name in 2001 because of copyright issues. You can still find old school songs/demos from them under the name "Godzilla".
This is technically part 2 of a longer song, the song before it on the album "The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe" was meant to lead into it
Your transitions and cut ins (ex. "Twelve Seconds Later") KILLLLLL ME. It's 100% how my inner monologue works as well and it breathes life into me! ------ Kills me! Then gives me life back! Please don't ever change the format of your vids!!!
This was my first exposure song to Gojira as well. It's awesome. So glad you dig it!
If you want a long sweet instrumental, you should check “Orion” by Metallica.
This.
John McCullough or pulling teeth (anasthesia)
Both are friggin amazing!
React to Gojira's Silvera or Stranded!
It's all about getting used to it (the vocals and heaviness). When I started I couldn't even listen to thrash metal and would just listen NU (Slipknot; SOAD;...) Now I listed to technical death metal and slamming brutal death metal...
Seirios yep! I use the spicy food analogy. Those not accustomed to chilli usually wouldn’t down a bowl of vindaloo curry but after eating butter chicken and enjoying it you might naturally progress to the harder stuff ;)
Melody Notmylastname
funny cause i have no problem with the heaviest growls or pig squeals or anything but i just can't stand spicy food
Not necessarily about getting used to it. I've been listening to metal for 25 years and never really appreciated screaming and growling but more like tolerated it. These days it sounds just juvenile to me and something a 18 year old me would listen to.
That's how i started. I started with slipknot, pillar, etc. Now I listen to Slaughter to prevail, Infant Annihilator, Thy are is murder.
Early slipknot stuff is heavier than any thrash
Agalloch - In the Shadow of Our Pale Companion. It’s pretty long, has some harsh vocals, but is all in all one of the most beautiful pieces of music I’ve ever heard and it makes me wonder why more people aren’t checking this stuff out more often.
Anyway, just wanted to say cool video! It’s nice to see you challenging your own musical taste. Will be checking in for more of these videos 😊
'The heaviest matter of the universe' by Gojira is my favorite song by them. Also, a lot of people are suggesting 'love' by Strapping Young Lad, and I think that or 'shitstorm' are a good choice by them.
Opeth Next.
Blackwater Park
Nonono safe these two for later start with Harlequin Forest and check out the life version of this song
Way Drive
Ghost of perdition maybe?
Best would be Windowpane live
If you want to listen so a gojira song, that is not that heavy as this one, but still heavy, melodic and awesome over all, than I suggest you listen / react to the song Silvera by them :D
Mutated Nut stranded
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the video where someone synced the Fantasia 2000 flying whales segment to this song. It is such a great way to experience this song
You NEED to listen to L'Enfant Sauvage by Gojira
This is a banger
The whole album
Hell yeah song..
FMTS is the seminal metal concept album of 2005 that laid the ground work for what was to come....This only being their 3rd album it's amazing the growth they showed from The Link to FMTS...The way this entire album was engineered recorded and mixed was a milestone for metal 🤘✌️🧐😁
What! First Pisces and now Flying Whales!? I gotta sub now lol
welcome to the family andrew!
HELL YEAH!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR CHECKING OUT GOJIRA ALEX!!!! YOUR THE BEST!!!!
no, you are!
React to The Flesh And The Power It Holds by Death
YUSS!! THIS!
David Barja Sternik,
Nice one.
the breakdowns in this song are 100% in my top 10 breakdowns
Here are a few other Gojira recommendations (in no particular order):
Born in Winter
Oroborus (specifically the version from the Brixton Academy show - make sure you find the intro to get the full effect!)
The Art of Dying (preferably Live from Vieilles Charrues for the opening growl, but Joe skips the typical opening vocals there.)
Remembrance
World to Come
Where Dragons Dwell
A Sight to Behold
Love
L'Enfant Sauvage
From Mars
To Sirius
Liquid Fire
Deliverance
When you can, try to find a live version of any or all of these. They're almost always superior to the album versions.
You've experienced the depth of metal and heaviness of it as well as the adrenaline it can produce, but now you need to feel the emotion and strength metal can have, please react to Alter bridge - Black bird
I’d have to recommend Rammstein. They’re a very unique German speaking metal band. Their live performances are incredible. Great vid Alex! (Oh yeah System of a Down has beautiful melodies mixed with more hard hitting vocals, try them if you like a mix of both)
Highly recommend seeing these guys live! I saw them a few years ago alongside Metallica in Pasadena, the sound was incredible
He would be an awful headbanger
Mxmse leave the glasses at home!
He's not. Into headbanging he's a hip hop head 😂🤘
Give him time...hes getting the spirit more and more :)
I dont think it matters how he head bangs as long as he is fucking jamming out. Love this song by the way.
No he just jams to his groove
Gojira is the greatest Heavy Metal Band😍😍😍
Im late but glad people are putting you on stuff I would of requested myself! Gojira is insane love em!
This is nothing compared to the entire album From mars to sirius straight through start to finish cranked to the max....👍👍👍 start to finish in order all the way through.... The album is a trip in itself... 2 minutes means nothing when you take time for the entire symphony
Man I love how you're so open to different styles of music, more people should be as open minded when it comes to music :)
React to Meshuggah!!! nice vid as always
Bleed please
I feel like Bleed will definitely be the most highly requested song, but I think "Do Not Look Down" or "Clockworks" would be solid choices as well. "Stengah" if you're feeling more adventurous / looking for something older.
Sane, Monstrocity, New Millennium Cyanide Christ, Pravus, ObZen, Bleed, Pineal Gland Optics, In Death - Is Life, Clockworks.... I could go on lol
I'm a long time meshuggah fan and ive never been into stengah, to me it's their hardest song to listen to.
Future Breed Machine forsure
*Wintersun - Sons Of WInter And Stars* live @ Sonic Pump Studios
