Is this Death Metal? Well...yes, but No. Kinda...and not really. 🙃 It's a mix of Death Metal, Groove Metal, bit Prog and some modern stuff. Like Morbid Angel, Death and Mastodon Had a child.

I'm really proud to be french as them, you have to check so many songs from them, they're also awesome humans too, their lyrics have some deep meanings concerning ecology, they're really engaged especially in Amaazonian forest. Mario (drums) and joe (guitar and singer) are brothers. And Mario is now considered as one one the best metal drummer in the world. They have so much respect from every metal all other the world. At thje beginning they were "just" a death metal band, now, they really have their own Gojira sound, brilliant on records AND live too. My advices songs: "The art of dying", "Silvera", "The gift of guilt"(live), "Born for one thing", Amazonia", "The chant", "Grind",....

Gojira is one of the best concerts I've ever been to. They are so unique and so talented! Super excited to see you branching out more and more.

Yeah! I think Legion and Blessed are the sick are classic Death Metal..in my opinion.

Stranded is one of their tamer and more simple songs. It's catchy and structured more like standard songs which is not their usual style. It's a great intro song for them. People always suggest some of their heavier, (and better imo), songs but for ppl who dont listen to this style of music It's a bad way to introduce someone to their music. This was a good choice. I'd suggest L'enfant Sauvage of the same titled album next which is again a bit catchier but also moves away from some of the standard musical format and then all bets are off and anything can go. Just my 2cents. Definitely want to see you experience more though.

You’re opening the doors to another great adventure with Gojira. You have so much to look forward to. Gojira never disappoints 🤘🏼

This is the way to do it if you want to get into death metal over time. Some people suggest the most brutal bands right away but if you're not used to the screaming/growling it's better to listen to bands like In Flames, the later albums from Gojira or even early Slipknot (the Iowa album for example) to just get used to harsher vocals first. And when you feel you've started to really like harsh vocals maybe check out bands like Arch Enemy and Amon Amarth (the more melodic side of death metal) before checking out the old school brutal bands like Morbid Angel and Cannibal Corpse. Keep up the great work, I enjoy watching your reactions! 🤘

Gojira (go-jeer-uh). Gift of Guilt at Brixton. Where Dragons Dwell. Pray at Red Rocks (my home Colorado). Flying Whales. From Mars to Sirius and so many others! Down the rabbit hole you go, son!

ORBIT CULTURE!! pounding metal with a Metallica-esce influence in their sound.

So glad you're getting into Gojira. This band is killer live. You should react to their live version of Silvera. Do a search for "GOJIRA - Silvera live - Hellfest 2016"

First time hearing these guys. Like you, I was expecting it to be a lot more frantic and heavy. Lead vocals are pretty amazing.

Screw trying to put it in a category. It's just awesome. That's all that matters hands down. And if you really like that song which I know you did, I could see it from the reaction. You're going to love shooting star. Check it out. I seen these guys on KZread. Live at the Red rocks in Colorado in the freaking concert was amazing. Enjoying my boy!

You know, nowadays Gojira is a phenomenon. No bright personality frontman, no crazy outfits or anything just 4 humble guys who make amazing music. The attention they are getting is completely deserved. Please react to their album “From Mars to Surius”, imo that’s their most progressive and heaviest album, really shows what they do best in that one. My favorite tracks are “Backbone” and “Where dragons dwell”, would love to see what u think about them. Love your channel, especially the Metallica reactions you did, keep it up bro! Much love from Kazakhstan🫶

Gojira! Yes please!!!!!

Gojira is one of my favorite metal bands they are so different check out the Gojira the art of dying

My first Gojira song was Silvera. Love them.

Flying whales, The art of dying, Explosia, L'enfant Sauvage, Deliverance, Space Time, Backbone, The heaviest matter of the universe would be my recommendations for this band. They're amazing!

So many great death metal bands if you’re up for it. Cannibal Corpse, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Inferi are some of my favorites. Don’t read the lyrics to some of these bands music! 😂

GOJIRA one of greatest bands out there. They are even better live .

Yes, more Gojira, you have to experience these live versions of Gojira! I recommend the songs "The Art of Dying" and "The Heaviest Matter in the Universe" (both live at Vielles Carruses Festival, 2010) and "The Gift of Guilt" (Live at Brixton Academy, London).

You’re funny man. You’re aren’t taking any more crap from the complainers. 😂

The journey takes a slightly heavier turn! This is a good thing. Great watch again 👍🏻

The name "Death Metal" comes from a band's name called Death. The guitarist/composer of Death was Chuck Schuldiner, the creator of this genre we call as "Death Metal", who tragicaly passed away in cancer at the age of 34. I definitely recommend you to make a reaction for Death. I would recommend you to chose a "lighter" song for the first time hearing this band, for example "Crystal Mountain" from the album "Symbolic".

@jettrainbow

Where Dragons Dwell - Live at Hellfest 2013.. Mind blowing!

this is one of gojiras lighter songs, gojira are referred to as the gateway into death metal since many of their songs are easy to listen to while being as heavy as you would expect from death metal. If you wanna dive into their heavier side i recommend songs like Flying Whales, Heaviest Matter in the Universe and Oroborus. If you want to ease yourself in the i would go with songs like Silvera, Where Dragons Dwell and Global Warming and Amazonia. If you are looking for some other bands to check out i would recommend Amon Amarth with a song like Twilight of the Thunder God or Arch Enemy with a song like War Eternal. These three bands are the bands that got me into this genre and these songs pulled me in. Gojira is still my favorite band of all time. Definitely make sure to check out Avatar somewhere down the line. Their song Bloody Angel is absolutely a banger

Gojira rules! They are so pure and so honest! The lyrics are amazeballs! Great live! Great stuff. Thank you for appreciating this!

Haha I stopped the video and liked it right when you rewinded the song. I almost shed a tear watching your face when the clean part came along. Keep going with Gojira, the gift of guilt.

Yees finaly Gojira dude, i have a feeling you might like their new and old stuff as well . And they always kill it live

Death-Symbolic has an absolutely amazing riff I love. Definitely recommend

We need more gojira. This is just the beginning.

This album was written around the time of the passing of the singer & drummers mother. Stranded relates to their feeling of losing their mother.

That's another new for me, thanks MollyBoy. I've just signed up to Spotify so a link to your play list will be awesome

First time listening to Gojira , that was fricken Awesome , I guess I'm going down the rabbit hole on this band , Great reaction mollyboy !!! 🤘🔥🎸💯...

Love your reactions bro keep it up. Be kind rewind all you need

Glad you choose Gojira, I recommend you watch live in red rocks, they sound so freaking brutal, they have a tribal influence by sepultura, Amazonia must be your next stage...

Gojira is awesome. A great balance of really heavy, beautiful, and progressive sounds. Will watch more of that! Agreed on Flying Whales and Heaviest Matter in the Universe. Love the content, great stuff!

FLYING WHALES BRUH, you won’t be disappointed since you love HEAVY! 🤘🏽

Gojira used to be death metal, they actually used to be the quintessence of death metal, late 90’s early 00’s. They then slowly became more and more progressive with time, but they still are difficult to put in a box. This is the good way to get into them, next up i’d sugggest you to check out Silvera, and than slowly go backwards in their catalogue. Flying Whales live at brixton or Explosia live at Brixton are also great ones. Don’t sleep on them, they’re so special. And yes, he totally looks like the Joaquin Phoenix in that scene screaming with that window!

Hell yeaah I remember suggesting you Gojira in chat, I'm so happy to see you discover this gem of a band

Love when you rewind ... please keep it up ... anyone who doesn't appreciate going back to listen to something great can f-off...

All The Tears or Lefaunt Savage are a great spread of the mix of styles they have. Plenty of slow gentle songs as well like Shooting Star, Low Lands and Born in Winter! They built their own studio (mostly Joe himself, the vocalist) and they record/mix all their own work! Mario the drummer, got Best Metal Drummer 2 years running! Check out his solos. Sadly, Joe and Mario (brothers) had their mother pass away during the creation of this album so the themes hit extra hard with emotion. Joe has a very unique "pitch screaming" ability, and it makes him very versatile, he can even do Mongolian throat singing, featured most prominently in Amazonia and The Way of All Flesh (insane song)

Hell yea just found your channel ! Love your reaction. Like everyone else is saying they are so many genres . I hope you go down the Gojira rabbit hole , I’ll be joining if you do 😁😁🤘🏽

I've been waiting for you to listen to Gojira for a long time. You should also listen to The Gift of Guilt, Chant, Born in Winter, Flying Wales, Amazonia, Sphinx, Into the Storm, Oroborus, Magma, Silvera

They used to play (technical/progressive) death metal in their first albums but that's definitely not death metal. Loved your reaction though, I think that song is a good entry point to Gojira. I hope to see more Gojira reactions, there's lots to discover !

Thanks to you i discovered this bad ass song. Thank you!

I waited all day to watch this on my break! I love your reaction. If you love Gojira (you said it right) you will love Avatar. Avatar is Swedish but you wouldn’t really be able to tell unless you hear the singer talk. He does screaming vocals but there’s a ton of clean, melodic ones too which sets them apart. I’m not much for the hardcore screaming where you can’t understand what they’re saying. Avatar is so far from that though, that’s why I love them. They speak to my soul. Thank you for this reaction!

Gojira is a rabbit hole you’ll never regret. Mario will blow you away. He is the best drummer around and there music is so great

You should also check out some live recordings of Gojira. They really blew me away because they can actually reproduce these pretty challenging songs and it sounds exactly like on the record.

They are french and started a while back. If you want more I think Silvera is their 2nd most poppy song. If you want to take the death metal dive near the roots, lots of people recommend Death but I would still recommend Morbid Angel - Chapel of Ghouls. A lot of people also recommended Bolt Thrower, which is my personal favorite pure death metal band and its also kind of accessable for death metal. People who recommend Death songs from later albums I would not recommend starting there for death metal, as they are basically jazz with heavy instruments and vocals :D
