The frequent sensory and emotional burnouts experienced by autistic and adhd people often get mistaken for depression and disthymia and will be misidentified by themselves, people around them, and professionals, for a long, long time. Not that they can't coincide but it is a massive difference once identified because the way you treat disthymia and depression will never ever address these other things, not really. If youve never explored this please for your own sake, get on twitter, look up adhd alien pina comics, look up Steve asbell, look up save the neurotypicals, and look up the hashtag actually autistic, and just explore and explore. You might be surprised And stay away from autismspeaks and anything related to them.
I love that this band is embracing it's positive energy in their music. Their simply isn't enough good heavy music out there these days that sends this kind of message.
Devin Townsend I’ve found has good vibes in some of his music. I saw both of these bands this year and both are phenomenal live. Would love a to see them tour together
Life is pretty chaotic now, lot of uncertainty out there. But the fact that a metal band can toss a song up and get 100k views in 4-ish hours let's me know my fellow headbanging bothers and sisters are still standing tall!!
@@shitpostinginc7779 Times have sure changed! You used to be able to describe a metal show by asking the question 'what has 200 dicks and only 2 tits?' but those days are long behind us! It really makes me happy to see the crowds half female now! Makes this old thrash dog happy! 🤘

I have listened to metal my whole life and playing guitar for more than 12 years now. I am 29. I am from India, from a village in West Bengal. There were a lot of financial struggles in my life, however i have struggled hard and now have been working as a software developer in Bangalore from 5 years. I earn good money now and trying to give everyone in my family a happy life. As all of you may know India is going through a health crisis due to corona because of which i have come home and have been working from home for 6 months. Well the point is I have never been in any rock concert. I would try my best to see GOJIRA live once in my lifetime. God bless everyone. We are metalheads. LOVE.
@@uberfreak9741 I mean like I've seen them play live in a tiny tent in England in front of around 1000 fans, now they're getting all these views on their videos. That's what I mean they're growing.
The Herta double bass patterns that are much like Meshuggah's bleed.. my god the fact that he does 3 bursts of three 32nd notes subdivided over straight 16th notes is so hard. It means that he alternates between left and right food leading. What a beast.
He could also be doing it the Vinnie Paul/ Gene Hoglan style with a double stroke on the right foot, in between left foot leading. Either way you're right, He's a beast
Bro, I feel like listening to Gojira is one of that things in life that make me feel so alive, it makes me feel glad to still beeing here, even when I think I don't find reasons for. Thank you guys once again for this and for beeing what you are. Thanks for beeing that hug that I don't know how to pray for. Long life Gojira.

After having to quit my job to become an unpaid carer to my Nan, I have been pretty sad and stressed, but this song reminds me to keep going and try and embrace life in between all the shit.. thank you Gojira for providing some good mental energy 🖤
Yeah, I was hiding. Now struggling with anxiety attacks, chest pain, weariness. My body finally telling me that's enough. I have to restart. Confront my demons. This song is now my mantra. Merci, Gojira.
I promise you, I've been in your footsteps. Just keep your head up and keep fighting. One day you will find somebody or something that Is worth everything you've been through.
Hey, lot of thanks to all of you. I needed it back then (and I'm still moved today, human kindness is something I will crave forever). I'm in a way better place now, no more hiding, no more shame. I've learned to love myself. Whoever reading this, please love yourself. The world begins with you.
These lyrics along with the sounds are going to let the people under the stage feel incredibly alive, after this year and a half. These guys really have artistic sensibility.
"The more we're getting older, the more we love different stuff. For example, I wanted to bring something a bit more technical, something back to the roots a little bit, so it's why I came with this drum pattern 'Into the Storm' or 'Grind.' "And I remember the communication with the others, they said, 'Yeah, I don't know about it...' But finally, I convinced them, I said, 'What we need is something catchy, and heavy, and brutal like in the past.' - Mario
@@raphaelbovey5676 hmm, I'm waiting for something like The Way of All Flesh and The Fall, melodic but super fucking heavy. Also maybe a hidden track, since they've done it every three albums
@@agustincasciero it's so hard to choose a favorite song, it all depends on the mood I guess. The way of all flesh is up there. I have the logo of Gojira on the rear window of my truck and i want to put "the way of all flesh" on top of the windshield with that font. I love how that song talks about our last minutes on earth
@@changuirus5000 I was talking more of what I'm expecting for the final track, but since you talk about favorite songs, mine are Esoteric Surgery, Flying Whales and Love
While I feel Gojira has often incorporated more melodic elements into their music, I feel this song in particular is definitely giving off "new" Gojira energy. Very melodic, while still incorporating those heavy elements. Absolutely love it!
Mario Duplantier is so tight when it comes to his grooves. This is the drummer that I aspire to be. Thank you for the inspiration to get out and become a better person and drummer!
Is this finally going to be the Album to push This band to headline festivals in the US and Beyond. They deserve to play 2 hours or more for every festival appearance.
I'm currently sick with the virus. Today is the first day after a week that I'm feeling better. And I find this new and awesome Gojira release telling me to rise, to come out, that I'm awake now and that I was hiding. This is exactly how I feel and, in couple of days, when the isolation ends, I will throw myself back into the storm with tears in my eyes, fist in the air, and this song blasting on my headphones \m/
so far we got the pull of game (another world) the chuggy (born for one thing) the boing (Amazonia) the brrr b brrr b rrr (into the storm) this album gonna be the fucking beast in 2021
Hey guys, i just want to say thank you for this, diagnosed with complex PTSD and this helped me to stand tall whenever i had an episode, thank you for saving another life
Je trouve ce morceau fantastique. Gojira a l'art et la manière de me surprendre continuellement. Étant girondins, j'ai vu ce groupe 13 fois, Joe est pour moi le seul chanteur qui chante avec hargne et gueule avec du coeur. Bravo messieurs.
@@alexisparchet799 on est bien d’accord ✌️ meilleur batteur ! Ce mec ne cessent d’évoluer , ça va devenir une boite à rythme régler à plus de 1000 bpm 😅
" Found the Bottom begging for Air " That can ring a bell... Roughly a year ago I was going through the hardest time of my life on a mental scale... False accusations and separation from my 2 young sons... 8 year relationship cheated on and blamed for everything for busting her in the act.... Shit on in court even with a good attorney I hired... I wanted to give up on life. I was very close, alot of 4am phone calls with my mom and even my Boss a crying wrecked mess... I was promoted at the time to a shift lead ... I can tell everyone that once you hit the bottom... Push off and head for that air and light on the surface... Get away from that toxic person that is literally ruining your life... I'm 29 and being in the dark like that was terrifying ... I made it to the surface with a few friends and family that helped me and I did exactly what this song speaks versus on.... I hopped into the storm fucking ready.... I didn't give up so you shouldn't either... Catch your wave and ride that motherfucker to the shore... Walk another day don't sink... I hope this helps someone that is struggling.
@@GenuineAltruist uhhh no, I enjoyed it very much. I'm a drummer, you know, it's physically impossible for me to not like something like this. BTW three singles have come out besides this one dude, did you miss one? Another World, Born For One Thing and Amazonia
Those who are only content with "something heavy" are the worst kind of fans because they ignore all concepts, all ideology, all the message of the song in the name of a unique desire of "heavy for the heavy". Learn to listen fucking music.
I feel this song was made for me at this exact moment. My goosebumps, man.. I feel like crying out in liberation. This is already my favorite album and the whole thing hasn’t even come out yet
Your sound has evolved so much into a beautiful melodious expression of art, while at the same time not abandoning the weight and heaviness of your lyrics and instrumentals that made you stand out in the first place. I won't say never change to Gojira, because the changes they make always add something new without them losing their core identity.
Well I don't know how to say this otherwise. This song describes perfectly my own struggle with severe anxiety. Music is a cure for illness. Especially yours. It gives me the strenght to hang on and never give up. Merci les gars !
It always amazes me that Gojira writes such technical Music in terms of their Time signatures and transitions yet they always sound melodic and it somehow sounds kinda easy to listen to. And lyrically Joe is not only one of the best songwriters in the Metal Scene but to me he is as great as someone like a Dylan or Young or Lenon and their likes. His words are so relevant to the current times and events. Whether it is Flying Whales or Amazonia. Mad respect and love for these French blokes.
I just want to say love you guys so much. you guys have a direct effect on my heartbeat whenever I listen to your words, your music. I remember when I was listening to " L'enfant Sauvage" and cryiiiiiiiing. I experienced all kinds of emotions with your songs. I just can't say how much you changed everything in my life and helped me to be a better person and be more peaceful. you are just like a light for me to find my way, to " Reactive the core". You are amazing, you are the best. I wish we could have you in Iran. Thank you so much for everything. Much love from very deep in my heart.
I love how there is basically nothing revolutionary in this song yet it sounds refreshing and uplifting. Gojira took the best from L'Enfant and Sirius and brought us a banger.
I love gojira dearly but the only single that’s really grabbed me was born for one thing. The other 3 have just been kinda meh imo, I really hope I’m wrong though
When you think about a song and still get goosebumps, that's when you know that the artist has done an amazing job. This one has got it all: unique (or rather extraordinary) drumming, groovy guitar playing, a solid bassline, amazing vocals that harmonize splendidly with the rythm guitar and the lyrics are next to poetic. This album is looking exquisite so far!
Why does this song always bring tears to my eyes? And I've been listening to it on repeat since yesterday. What a band! Gojira can always remind me why I love metal so much. Can't wait to headbang to this live!
@@howler9171 If you ever listened to early 70's, 80's Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, etc it's like you've heard every metal song that came out from all the rest of the bands , so what's your point? Big innovators? They don't need to, they are GOJIRA, an amazing skillful band.
@@CarlHH777 i don't think he really means that Carl, he's just excited by the song, and surely it's not idiotic cause this happened many years back when Iron Maiden with the Flight of Icarus reached the top of the charts, you can say that atm they were single-handedly keeping the metal scene alive, in a way of saying of course!
@@M67-h6k Exactly. There's a lot of great metal bands out there but Gojira seems to be the only one thats growing the fanbase, getting attention from non-metal listeners, finding some commercial success, etc. Same way that many people in the metal music industry credit Pantera with keeping metal alive through the mid-90s. There were still a lot of killer bands during that time but Pantera kept the machine moving

Omg and ride cymbal is the train crossing bell
Pressed like immediately after hearing it
Look for Mario's solo called The City.
Riding the train to another world
It’s no ordinary train but I’m glad we are all here to enjoy the ride 🤘🏻
I instantly forsaw myself in a festival with a huge crowd around, enjoying such an anthem in unison.
Soon...
PUT YOUR FISTS IN THE AAAIIIIIIIRRRR!!!!!
This album is going to be a masterpiece for sure!
I can't get over how good this drummer is. just amazing.
i love the path joe's taken with his vocals. the ambient screams are amaziiiiiing
Gojira are one of the greatest metal bands to walk this earth, so excited for the new album
Every notification from this channel is a blessing
These lyrics along with the sounds are going to let the people under the stage feel incredibly alive, after this year and a half. These guys really have artistic sensibility.
"The more we're getting older, the more we love different stuff. For example, I wanted to bring something a bit more technical, something back to the roots a little bit, so it's why I came with this drum pattern 'Into the Storm' or 'Grind.'
"And I remember the communication with the others, they said, 'Yeah, I don't know about it...' But finally, I convinced them, I said, 'What we need is something catchy, and heavy, and brutal like in the past.'
- Mario
I'm definitely waiting for Grind, must be the heaviest track on Fortitude.
@@agustincasciero It's definitely heavy but not as much as you might expect. Also the ending part is super melodic and rather on the soft side.
@@raphaelbovey5676 hmm, I'm waiting for something like The Way of All Flesh and The Fall, melodic but super fucking heavy. Also maybe a hidden track, since they've done it every three albums
@@agustincasciero it's so hard to choose a favorite song, it all depends on the mood I guess. The way of all flesh is up there. I have the logo of Gojira on the rear window of my truck and i want to put "the way of all flesh" on top of the windshield with that font. I love how that song talks about our last minutes on earth
@@changuirus5000 I was talking more of what I'm expecting for the final track, but since you talk about favorite songs, mine are Esoteric Surgery, Flying Whales and Love
Damn, that chorus is melodic and catchy af. Not something you see too often with Gojira.
While I feel Gojira has often incorporated more melodic elements into their music, I feel this song in particular is definitely giving off "new" Gojira energy. Very melodic, while still incorporating those heavy elements. Absolutely love it!
@@Logarrithmic Yeah, agreed. They've had melodies, just not like these.
I like it, especially the intro, but it’s the chorus actually that ruins it for me, well the vocals in general in this one.
Magma was a pretty melodic album. I mean, that's what they were aiming for with it.
I personally disliked the chorus. To each their own...
"how sad, how long it takes us to rise and fight" 😢so true
Mario Duplantier is so tight when it comes to his grooves. This is the drummer that I aspire to be. Thank you for the inspiration to get out and become a better person and drummer!
Dude I want to get a drum kit cuz mario and joey
Finally.... Im here before Nik Nocturnal
By the time you finish listening to this song, he will have uploaded a cover
This comment made my day😂
LOL
Literally my first thought hahaha
BAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAA!!!
Is this finally going to be the Album to push This band to headline festivals in the US and Beyond. They deserve to play 2 hours or more for every festival appearance.
Unfortunately not 1 festival here in America is giving them that chance. They played several headline slots in the past 2 years
I'm currently sick with the virus. Today is the first day after a week that I'm feeling better. And I find this new and awesome Gojira release telling me to rise, to come out, that I'm awake now and that I was hiding. This is exactly how I feel and, in couple of days, when the isolation ends, I will throw myself back into the storm with tears in my eyes, fist in the air, and this song blasting on my headphones \m/
That’s awesome. I’ve got Covid now… I’m doing this when I beat this fucker 🤘🏻
When are they going to start releasing the good songs from the album? So far it's just been the mind blowingly incredible songs...
I must admit, you had me at the beginning !
Hehee
Wanted to dislike, ended up liking. Ha!
🤣
Had us in the first half not gonna lie
so far we got
the pull of game (another world)
the chuggy (born for one thing)
the boing (Amazonia)
the brrr b brrr b rrr (into the storm)
this album gonna be the fucking beast in 2021
Boing
Dude i love this comment :D
All that's missing now is the obligatory "scrrr scrrr" scrape spam song .
Hey guys, i just want to say thank you for this, diagnosed with complex PTSD and this helped me to stand tall whenever i had an episode, thank you for saving another life
Je trouve ce morceau fantastique. Gojira a l'art et la manière de me surprendre continuellement. Étant girondins, j'ai vu ce groupe 13 fois, Joe est pour moi le seul chanteur qui chante avec hargne et gueule avec du coeur. Bravo messieurs.
Et parlons de Mario bon sang, probablement le meilleur batteur que j'ai pu entendre et peut-être même le meilleur batteur tout court 🙏🙏🙏
Moi aussi je suis Girondins de Gujan prêt d'arcachon, d'où vient tu ?
I agree
si
@@alexisparchet799 on est bien d’accord ✌️ meilleur batteur ! Ce mec ne cessent d’évoluer , ça va devenir une boite à rythme régler à plus de 1000 bpm 😅
Thank you for existing in this world!!!🤘🤘🤘
"How much polyrhythm do you want on this song"
Gojira: Yes.
it's actually 4/4 as far as i can tell
@@felipeuszdebileusz 4:3
@@FlipontheFly 4/3 doesen't exist
@@felipezimpelsantos2689 3:4 sorry polymaster
@@FlipontheFly 😁😂
Mario doesn't make things easier on himself, does he? Outstanding is an understatement!
unreal
Holy shit yes, he still keeps evolving with every album! Bet this isn't even his final form! 🔥
and he’s still not even going 100 percent, he’s playing this while still serving the song perfectly
Easier? This is child's play for him. What a monster
Deftones and Gojira coming to town this summer. You bet your ass I'll be there!
sometimes its even sad to listen to deftones for me cause its that bad live
eres de madrid?
Wait ! You guys are getting concerts ?
Hmm, they cancelled that show in Nashville...
yeah that whole tour is gonna be cancelled. so I wouldnt buy tickets
00:14 04:19 When you finally achieve that "old train station bell" sound for your ride cymbal and you can grove to trains passing by
Polyrhythmic insanity transitioning seamlessly into anthemic beauty. This song encapsulates what makes Gojira the best band in the world.
I’m seriously convinced these guys can never make a bad song. Absolutely killer.
Did you find yourself unconsciously headbanging?
Well, I guess we all did. Great song!!
Unconsciously????
It's amazing how that happens
@Juicey Kisses Makes perfect sense to me
Chuggy as always. Can't wait for the album to drop
" Found the Bottom begging for Air " That can ring a bell... Roughly a year ago I was going through the hardest time of my life on a mental scale... False accusations and separation from my 2 young sons... 8 year relationship cheated on and blamed for everything for busting her in the act.... Shit on in court even with a good attorney I hired... I wanted to give up on life. I was very close, alot of 4am phone calls with my mom and even my Boss a crying wrecked mess... I was promoted at the time to a shift lead ... I can tell everyone that once you hit the bottom... Push off and head for that air and light on the surface... Get away from that toxic person that is literally ruining your life... I'm 29 and being in the dark like that was terrifying ... I made it to the surface with a few friends and family that helped me and I did exactly what this song speaks versus on.... I hopped into the storm fucking ready.... I didn't give up so you shouldn't either... Catch your wave and ride that motherfucker to the shore... Walk another day don't sink... I hope this helps someone that is struggling.
Amen to that 💪. And blessings from above.
First I thought it was referring to a person as a bottom haha. Also stay strong 🤘
@@loz2590 #powerbottom LOLOL
@@loz2590 You too brother :)
What the fuck, so far not a single track from this album that's been released isn't a masterpiece. This is outstanding
I dug the other 2 singles, but I personally think this one is just, meh...
@@GenuineAltruist uhhh no, I enjoyed it very much. I'm a drummer, you know, it's physically impossible for me to not like something like this. BTW three singles have come out besides this one dude, did you miss one? Another World, Born For One Thing and Amazonia
Your formulation sounds kinda weird
@@dejvkodet5390 said the guy who uses "formulation" in a sentence 😂 not English native speaker, of course my formulations are going to be different
Ikr this album is gonna be amazing
Compared to the other 3 releases this has more of a "epic" feel. THATS NOT A BAD THING, good shit.
Gojira is just killing it these dayssss
At this moment in time, these lyrics are so inspired and relevant. Gojira is a singularity, the heaviest matter of the universe
Gojira is love, so yes :)
This album has been amazing so far!!
Hoping for something heavier though
@@dylanblack8714 Agree... it seems like they are holding themselves on the three tracks.
@@dylanblack8714 will be a continuation of Magma. The Chant is probably the softest Gojira track ever. A true hippie ballad.
Those who are only content with "something heavy" are the worst kind of fans because they ignore all concepts, all ideology, all the message of the song in the name of a unique desire of "heavy for the heavy".
Learn to listen fucking music.
@@thalescaramante2003 and those who can't accept other's opinion are even worst. Go be content ailleurs dude.
This has to be my favorite gojira song ever
I feel this song was made for me at this exact moment.
My goosebumps, man..
I feel like crying out in liberation.
This is already my favorite album and the whole thing hasn’t even come out yet
These lyrics man, just wow. I'm tearing up reading along. I relate so much.
"Heavy + Genuis + Metal + Riff = Gojira" - Albert Einstein, probably.
"Genuis" - Albert Einstein indeed my friend :D haha
Einstein isn't smart enough to make this
@@khold7560 haha, true
Your sound has evolved so much into a beautiful melodious expression of art,
while at the same time not abandoning the weight and heaviness of your lyrics and instrumentals that made you stand out in the first place.
I won't say never change to Gojira, because the changes they make always add something new without them losing their core identity.
I carpooled with a guy trying out for drums in my old band, he said he didn’t like Gojira. Last time I ever saw that guy.
He was intimidated by their drumming.
😆😆
@@NAPT0WNNUISANCE that’s the real observation...
Gojira really isn't very good
@@mattbecker743 Been nice knowing ya.
This isnt music. Its art
Cant wait to be looking back at this music 20 years later saying "can't believe this was 20 years ago and im still listening"
That's how I feel about terra incognita
Well I don't know how to say this otherwise. This song describes perfectly my own struggle with severe anxiety.
Music is a cure for illness. Especially yours.
It gives me the strenght to hang on and never give up.
Merci les gars !
I'm in the same.boat. never give up. Keep playing this song until you come out to the light clean and stronger. God bless.
It always amazes me that Gojira writes such technical Music in terms of their Time signatures and transitions yet they always sound melodic and it somehow sounds kinda easy to listen to. And lyrically Joe is not only one of the best songwriters in the Metal Scene but to me he is as great as someone like a Dylan or Young or Lenon and their likes. His words are so relevant to the current times and events. Whether it is Flying Whales or Amazonia. Mad respect and love for these French blokes.
I don't know how they did it, but this song awakens and comforts my inner hurting child. Thank you, Gojira
Shat my pants a little, wasn't expecting a new single on a Monday at all
I just want to say love you guys so much. you guys have a direct effect on my heartbeat whenever I listen to your words, your music. I remember when I was listening to " L'enfant Sauvage" and cryiiiiiiiing. I experienced all kinds of emotions with your songs. I just can't say how much you changed everything in my life and helped me to be a better person and be more peaceful. you are just like a light for me to find my way, to " Reactive the core".
You are amazing, you are the best. I wish we could have you in Iran. Thank you so much for everything.
Much love from very deep in my heart.
I've seen you at some Soen videos, you've got a good taste, considering you're here too.
You should also checkout Katatonia, you'll like them.
@@papaisduniyakapapa yeah I like them too. very much actually. :))))
Well said. The greatest gift Gojira has is evoking emotion. I cry quite often when I listen to them. I listen to them every day.
I'm so with you on this🤘
That Chorus is SO HUGE. This will be a killer live song!
And then the interlude at 2:50... Mindblown
Gojira is going better and better and better and better ...so great. Love all what they do. Fortitude will be the Album of the year !
A touch of metalcore without the cheesiness and mind melting polyrythms. What a banger!
I'd say this is closer to having Groove Metal vibes than any core genre tbh 🤔
I hate u for saying that
I love how there is basically nothing revolutionary in this song yet it sounds refreshing and uplifting. Gojira took the best from L'Enfant and Sirius and brought us a banger.
Maybe the lyrics are nothing revolutionary, but that drumming ohhhhhhh boy
@@thomas1schranz371 What do you mean ? this is basically meshuggah's bleed , don't say it's revolutionary , it's a sick song tho i love it
Gojira have a very similar riff to this one on TWOAF, which also sounds like the Bleed riff.
@@cnr9940 it's the use of the herta rythm
nothing revolutionary about the song except the entire message of the song lol
This album is going to be absolutely unbelieveable.
I love gojira dearly but the only single that’s really grabbed me was born for one thing. The other 3 have just been kinda meh imo, I really hope I’m wrong though
@@rippindrummer666 I feel the same. Everybody is raving about the songs released but I really feel underwhelmed ...
When you think about a song and still get goosebumps, that's when you know that the artist has done an amazing job. This one has got it all: unique (or rather extraordinary) drumming, groovy guitar playing, a solid bassline, amazing vocals that harmonize splendidly with the rythm guitar and the lyrics are next to poetic. This album is looking exquisite so far!
Why does this song always bring tears to my eyes? And I've been listening to it on repeat since yesterday. What a band! Gojira can always remind me why I love metal so much. Can't wait to headbang to this live!
GOD I LOVE GOJIRA MAN ! Mario is a straight savage
The ability of these guys to create banger after banger is unmatched. Dammit I LOVE THIS BAND!!!
You guys are single-handedly keeping the metal scene alive right now and I appreciate you
@@howler9171 Rob Zombie? are you serious? lol
@@howler9171 If you ever listened to early 70's, 80's Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Iron Maiden, Rainbow, etc it's like you've heard every metal song that came out from all the rest of the bands , so what's your point? Big innovators? They don't need to, they are GOJIRA, an amazing skillful band.
Gojira are great but they're not "single-handedly keeping the metal scene alive". That's just idiotic. Listen to more bands.
@@CarlHH777 i don't think he really means that Carl, he's just excited by the song, and surely it's not idiotic cause this happened many years back when Iron Maiden with the Flight of Icarus reached the top of the charts, you can say that atm they were single-handedly keeping the metal scene alive, in a way of saying of course!
@@M67-h6k Exactly. There's a lot of great metal bands out there but Gojira seems to be the only one thats growing the fanbase, getting attention from non-metal listeners, finding some commercial success, etc. Same way that many people in the metal music industry credit Pantera with keeping metal alive through the mid-90s. There were still a lot of killer bands during that time but Pantera kept the machine moving
