Godzilla is the first name of the most famous French band: Gojira. This is the second demo of the band formed in 1996. Gojira is the original Japanese Toho Studios name for what was later misinterpreted by the American market as "Godzilla". The band were initially named "Godzilla" until they had to change their name due to copyright reasons.
Line-up:
Mario Duplantier: Drums
Christian Andreu: Guitars
Joe Duplantier: Guitars, Vocals
Alexandre Cornillon: Bass

I really hope this kids one day play in the olyimpics
Ahahahah, I always thought they would be the best choice, since I heard this kickass demo, back in the days :)🤘🤘
The fact that they recorded this when they were only in their late teenage years is really impressive
Its not unimpressive by any means, but I am not sure you realize how common that is, and younger. Decapitated and Emperor were like 14.
Mario was 16 years old :o :o :o
@@patrickbertlein4626 Yeah right. Just because Emperor were 14 then anyother teenager is not impressive.
@@Wookash11111 I don't understand this logic at all, metal has always been a young man's game. Why do you think majority of legacy bands have started to suck in the long run?
No it's not impressive it's every metal band I can think of too bad it's a shit album
I wish this was on Spotify so bad
If only.
It’s not official audio that’s why it’s not
That’s why I have CZcams music 😎
Why, you have it here :)
@@andrittiit's more convenient to have all your music in one place but I'm still thankful for CZcams containing even the most underground of records. There's only been a few records I haven't been able to find on either Spotify *or* CZcams

Thank you
Doing god’s work
Had no clue this existed. This is insane!!!
They need to re-record and re release their Godzilla stuff.
if they take a long ass break from touring joe probably could produce those vocals again
@@sambt123like what they did with Inferno. He doesn’t need a break his voice is still good
No, he sounds strung out on live recordings.@@jinsakai9729
@@jinsakai9729his voice is arguably better now . he’s the Death metal James Hetfield, insane rhythm guitarist + Vocals age like fine wine
One of the greatest possible horrors is hearing an OSDM record with modern production. No.
These guys were 16 when they recorded this.
Damn..
yes,thebest age to be in death metal band.
Vitek (former drummer of Decapitated) was around 15 when they were recording Winds of Creation. I think the entire band was in their teens during that period. Anyone that is impressed by Mario’s drumming skills at his age of 16, would be blown away listening to Vitek’s drumming. If he hadn’t passed away at such a young age he’d easily be one of the top 10 best metal drummers right now.
Winds of Creation is one of my top favorite DM albums. Vitek will always be missed.🤘
@@sethputnamsghost Same here, I fucking love that album. Decapitated's best work. RIP Vitek!
the band started when he was 11
You should’ve heard my garage tapes from when I was 4, I mopped the floor with them both. Too bad they got lost in the fire and my arms fell off😞
It goes to show that passion for something and skill at something are two different things. Not to say gojira or decapitated weren't talented...it's very obvious that they were. I just mean there are people who are good at art and there are people who LOVE their art
mario duplantier love to hit his bell since 97
Ok, it's not just the obvious skill on display. The artistry to compose and execute with soul and nuance is the real miracle.
Skill? It's so sloppy. First thing I notice is track 2 is literally every gojira song ever same rhythm same beat what utter trash
@@HAHb-zc2dpIt's not like you could produce anything of significance. Chill out
@@productofmymind4860 I play in a band called vitriol,check us out we're on tour,maybe you like us maybe not,out second lp was just released. It will NOT appeal to fans of garbage music.
@@HAHb-zc2dplmao "not for fans of garbage music"
Sorry, I won't listen to your average ass simplistic band lol
@@Lomaxxx53 neither will I. That's gojira and this crap is. Basic boring bullshit mainstream rock crap
death metal for life
Gojira FL
DMFL
Holy shit Mario was only 15-16
Genius nuff said
Reminds me of sepultura max and igor were only 14-15 when they started recording they're music, absolutely nuts when you listen to what they were producing.
@@johnhoggan1053 alexi laiho from children of bodom was also 15 or so when they wrote 'something wild'
So brutal!!
Pretty old compared to nergal and ivar
Imagine going back in time to tell a bunch of 16 year old kids they were going to be the first metal band to play in the olympics
Death + Morbid Angel
Spot on 👍
More like Morbid Angel + Deicide
Or maybe old decapitated
Music: Death
Vocals: David Vincent
kinda hear deicide, entombed and early suffocation with mikael akerfeldt on vocals
I will never understand how they produced these vocals
Double tracking low and high growl at the same time
it's like guitars, the more you add, the more the track feels well produced. This is why Deathcore have been so popular the past 15 years (more so than death metal among the younger generations), abusing these techniques to achieve great production quality and very powerful vocals that can't really be reproduced on stage without backing vocals, unless you recruit 4 other vocalists in your band. Can't say I hate it though. Live and studio are 2 separate things worth enjoying for different reasons. Besides, some deathcore vocalists are actually insane on stage.
@@cyn1stre dethcore is the worse sub genre of all time
@@rustycrystal4475 subjective and not my point
@@cyn1stre i know
I hope they re-release it soon
mario was better than lars at 16 lmaooo
Lars is useless LOL
That’s a low standard
There is no Mario without Lars, said by the man himself
czcams.com/users/clipUgkxhzVgKE_ZHbsKDD6iNIdY5epHYh5FCbTo
@@bryanalvaradov thank fuck all the drummers inspired by Lars is far better than him
Holy shit.
The intro is from The Exorcist. For those not familiar...
Thanks, was wondering
Absolutely am familiar Haha
Still haunts me to this day anytime I hear samples from that movie being used anywhere.
the exootcist by possessed
Marduk also has the exorcist intro
put on 1.5x speed for modern gojira
Woah
Holy shit I hear it
Needs more riffs that are just a single note.
definitely the best finale song of all time
The beginning of Possessed scares the shit out of me
You probably already know, but it's from the exorcist
@@infidelcastro6687 I haven't seen it but I think the last bit before the music starts is when her head was rotating
the exorcist isn’t scary
@@sambt123 that's what she said
Nah I'm pretty sure it is when he is pretending to use holy water on her. When her head turns around she is imitating the voice of the dead director.
Je les avais vu à cette époque en première partie d'Immortal, je m'en suis souvenu récemment. Très bon album qui mériterait une réédition.
Modern listeners gagging over their ages obviously missed the majority of the early 90s DM scene in Europe.
Right??? Left Hand Path is the PRIME example!
Exactly.
Crazy how good the sound is for an underground demo
Deberian de hacer un remaster de este ep cambiando el nombre al que ya conocemos asi mucha mas gente podra escucharlo porque es muy bueno para que pase desapercibido
Pre-Gojira was good and a great Death-Metal Demo is such a great record a must-have for every death-metal aficionado sounds like Morbid Angel and Vader this is really good.
Picasso was known to draw & paint in a realistic style in addition to his abstract work....its called ART !!
Holy shit. This was way better than I was expecting. They were literally better than everyone when they were already teenagers. Well played, Gojira. Well played. 😂🤘
so glad I found out these demos exist. heavy as fk. kinda reminds me a bit of the band Mithras
Mithras rings a bell but can’t put my finger on it
Okay I looked em up. I see what you mean! Definitely not heard them before thanks
I love this album. And I genuinely love all their other albums too. I love how each album is a snapshot of each stage of their career. And I like this snapshot of a group of young men taking their first step and pursuing their passion. It brings joy.
12:13 really reminds me of Darkside's, drummer of the band Mgła, cymbal work. Pretty cool.
Revisit this after 2024 Olympics openung ceremony things☠️
they should have played brutal abortion smh
Yt did it again. This is gold ❤
Lol love how there death and morbid angel influence really show in this album 🤘🏼
More like Sepultura and Morbid Angel.
Joe really sounds like sepultura's main singer
@@kentozapater8972 lmfao, no
@@i_want_my_shuggahHe is talking about the first singer, Wagner from Sarcofago
I've never gotten into Gojira but this is right up my alley
Early gojira was like this.
The Godzilla name isnt an American misinterpretation. It's the official English translation created by Toho for the American market
This is amazing for a bands debut!
Extraordinario el disco! Death metal oled school! 🤘🔥🔥🔥👹🇨🇱
I love the vocals that start at 11:00
They have some like this on Satan is a lawyer aswell. Sickest technique Joe does easily
They sounded surprisingly similar to their compatriots Loudblast in their early years. Both bands are awesome.
Merci beaucoup pour cet ajout 💪🤌
Many of these comments are recent, I knew im not the only one who thinks heavy Gojira is best Gojira.
They only got heavier from here
They stopped being heavy after from Mars to sirius
Edit: I was wrong
@@kentozapater8972TWOAF is still heavy and L'enfant has heavy shit too, Magma is where it pivots
@@Leo._...and magma is still fantastic
@@kentozapater8972Go back and listen to TWoAF, I remember not thinking it was as heavy as previous albums but listening recently I forgot how heavy it is. The Art of Dying is a monster.
Greatest album of 16 years old.... The best drummer ever
7:32 could be from ...and justice
I think Godzilla hears this death metal song.
this goes so hard bro
This is a masterpiece and has to go down in history books 🤘🏽
i think i can hear the origins of the awesome joe squeal on some parts
Wild that this is Gojira, quite a different sound to what they became, still heavy either way
You can hear some patterns they used in Gojira later on
this is better than their newer stuff
Awesome record, BIG THANKS!
I like songs from every single one of their albums. This & Terra Incognita are the only 2 I can listen to beginning to end without skipping a song.
Saturate too!
The way of all flesh has no skippings bro
to mars to sirius is arguably one of the best heavy metal albums of all time . absolutely mindblowning and not a single skip. every song a headbanger even unicorn lol.
Bro what the hell are you skipping on the link, from mars to sirius, the way of all flesh, and l'enfant sauvage?
@@DOWNPOUR_😂😂😂
Gojira is not "heavy metal" and they have never been.
People really should know the definitions of musical labels. The genre is called metal. Heavy metal music was on a specific period, although there are few bands that still try that formula these days.
Or what? Is brutal death metal, stoner metal and progressive symphonic power metal the same calling them "heavy metal"?
Educate yourself.
mandragore goes real hard
It's unbelievable that the band has never ever made an acoustic recording again.
Holy sh... That's something that had to be done in Fortitude, not the stupid rock with terrible growls they do these days.
I hear a lot of Morbid Angel here. Awesome.
I had heard about this album but never expected it to be this good. There's artistry i wasnt expecting from them this early on in their work, being that young.
Thx for sharing. First time hearing this and I love it.
wtf, had no idea this was this good
These guys are good but they'll never play in the opening ceremony of the Olympics
They should've played this at the Olympics
(Easy joke, my fault)
I need an infinity loop of Mandragore
Oh this is much more like Tampa style death metal!
Or…French death metal circa 1995-96’
Reminds me of polish death metal band Trauma's earlier work. Very brutal and awesome, hail! \m/
Wow this is badass purity
I hope they bring back their old sounds without losing their progressive tendencies
Yeah. They're now a commercial stadium-metal band. But not in the way of Metallica with the black album, or Megadeth with Symphony Of Destruction. In the very wrong way...
That’s what they should play on Olympic Games in 2024.
Bleedings intro sounds very much like intro in the heaviest matter of the universe 🤔
Most of these songs were revamped to become terra incognitas album
@@mirrorforceheaviest matter of the universe was not on terra incognita
@@eimaj3185 did I say that?
And then kind of like Fire is everything
I am surprised. Was not expecting this. I really dig groovy old school DM. Great rythm and songs overall here. Makes me miss heavier Gojira.
This is the best Gojira has ever been. Flawless!
Mario this mario that this is fucking divine
Still modern for me
This should be in Spotify godddddd
No.
@@GiosGoreGrotto Why?
the intro to bleeding reminds me of the heaviest matter of the universe
Love this album. I wish they would release it. I would kill for a CD of it
Should have opened the Olympics with this
Or…where dragons dwell and have one come out of the castle 🏰 🐉
Bruh this is amazing bring godzilla album to Spotify 🤘
That second track though 😮
The bleeding sounds like the Heaviest matter in the universe at the beginning of
better than their later albums
Wish they would come back to this sound instead of getting softer every album.
I wish they'd put out a compilation of their demos.
Better than all their spotify stuff damn.
BRUTAL!!! I FKNG LOVE IT
How did they get self-recorded music to sound so clear in 1996??
80% of the clarity comes from playing super-tight which they were already capable. Saw them live at the time and it was spectacular how great they sounded even with crappy amps and guitars, even compared to more "seasoned" bands. They were already super impressive so it's not a surprise they got this far.
This is pretty average death metal production for the time I'd say
We had lottle more than potatoes with cotton strings attached if you believe it. Up hill both ways and shit.
@@evergreen3337but you dont expect this for a Demo
@@pedrohenriqueviana5596 You'd be surprised, death metal demos tend to be pretty tight. For example, Cryptopsy's demo back in '93 is almost clearer than the album after it. Sounds about on par with this Godzilla demo too.
Thanks for posting this !
Sounds better than now
It's so chunky 🔥🔥🔥
Woah this record has some real deathcore sounding moments, sounds badass and very well produced for the 90's
'Deathcore', yuck. What a horrible term and what a horrible style.
@@AdAstra78 I luv you
why do people call anything deathcore just because of some chugging, there is many chuggy death metal and this has nothing to do with core
@@zareptil5441 i just think it sounds kind of like that genre at points, not the whole thing
@@zareptil5441 I love chuggy death metal 😍
I would love a re-release of this tbh. with the original logo too ;o
Merci c’est énorme de trouver ça !
Pour les explications de pourquoi « Gojira » a la place de « Godzilla », il faut connaître les kanas japonais pour avoir l’explications. Godzilla en japonais s’écrit ゴジラ. ゴ=Go, ジ=Ji et ラ=Ra
The Exorcist refrence is perfect. 🔥
👿🔱😈... Digging this alot...sounds Better than alot of what ive heard recently from new bands
The intro riff of "Bleeding" is definitely the initial version of The Heaviest Matter of the Universe's intro riff
i still cant believe they were younger than my lazy ass when they recorded this dayumm
If they had played this at the Olympics instead everyone would have shit themselves.
didnt know this album existed 😀 thx
Kinda wish they kept this sound tbh :\
Modern gojira be sounding pretty weak ngl
@@temme528 I like some of their new stuff, but this is better to me.
@@temme528 they idolize Metallica and Metallica always do what they want. So, you know, evolution.
could try my edit of the most recent album for eg... might help, cut out 5 minutes of not so brutal stuff, and did allot of EQ / subtle shit... Enjoy!
czcams.com/play/PLcWAFO399MXtbKTmriseOxA2hVZgF3HL7.html
I think they grew to be honest. This sound is just too brutal to hold onto. We all like plants grow toward light. Have a light heart.
Reminds me of old school Hypocrisy. Love it
best epoch !!!
در اینجا شرارت به خواب می رود، زیرا تبدیل به همان چیزی شده اند که آرزوی آن را داشتند❤🔥
Good job!
