      He absolutely is an insanely good live vocalist and done those toned growls better than anyone! That being said they’re definitely doing some layering in the studio and on at least one of those vocal tracks he’s singing cleanly. But that doesn’t take away from the performance one bit

      Yeah man, he is a fantastic drummer, and he plays a Megabell ride, so he’s got a leg up with me. I met him, and got to chill with him for about 45 minutes, before a show in Texas. I was talking to him about drumming, of course. I told him that his drumming informs my playing immensely. Also said that I sometimes want to meditate and get my life right, when I listen to their lyrics! He says, “ No Brother, meditate while playing music!” “Then you will truly know what God is!” Just melted my 🧠

      Gojira has a lot of metallica influence, so he may have derived his style a little from hetfield combined with his harsher death influences. Joe has a far more distorted scream than het, but he most likely incorporated hets style in his own.

Gojira lyrics try to communicate some really interesting ideas, and I believe they are well aquatinted with the Gnostic gospels as well. Their music becomes infinitely more interesting lyrically if you have an understanding of those things. From Mars to Sirius as an album is insanely interesting conceptually. Rush is great too, not exactly my cup of tea but saying Gojira has no lyrical depth because an artist you like speaks to you more is just weird.

    Geebz dude....this is the actual one for all Gojira fans who have followed them from the start! Loved your first reaction to an almost impossible song to cover in one take. So much going on rhythmically, musically and just down right overall expressionally from what they can produce in one song. IMO this was their Swansong.... pushing the envelope, futuristic track that can never be repeated again (A bit like Rosetta Stoned - Tool....for its time). Nothing has ever been repeated or touched on any later recordings (for both tracks)....but thankfully we have the privilege to be able to go back and just study, listen and damn right admire what was written musically and lyrically to these absolute fucking masterpieces which were written in that time and period!! Its a good time to be alive with all this music from these great musicians....which are still alive and kicking....and we still get the chance to see these bands live!! Because believe you me in 20-30 years time people will be looking at out generation in envy because they were to young or not born to actually witness these extraordinary bands in the flesh. We are so blessed, so be at peace everyone and be happy we are in this magnificent age of music. Peace y'all....love to everyone x

    12:00 - Funny thing is, Mario's drumming style is more the result of 7 years of Jazz lessons than a direct evolution of those classic drummers. He himself said in an interview that he wanted to learn Jazz drumming to become a better Metal drummer. : )
    13:2 - Yes he was. Joe is one of the few Metal singers who can scream in pitch, which is kind of a contradiction in itself because, in theory, screaming should be pitchless.

      He's engaging his vocal chords too much and if he kept up this style he'd have blown out his voice like Matt Heafy did a decade ago. That's why he's been doing so much more clean singing on the last two albums and why the vocals aren't as loud on Fortitude. Although there's a silver lining in that after recovering Matt's vocals are better on In the Court of the Dragon than they were on Shogun, so maybe the same will be true for Joe?

Even now it's not easy to separate what's reliable and not.

    what you hear at the end of the song is a kind of intro to the next song, in which, the main riff that will sound is presented but in a much more melodic way and reversed, that is why it gives the feeling of transition, because on that album they made that kind of intros in a good part of the songs. I think it's a super cool detail to put on an album like that, it's just makes you to be hooked and in a brutal trance during all the songs, they trully are something special Gojira.

    A ritual is such an appropriate way to describe this song. Having only discovered Gojira a year ago, it took some time to appreciate the intensity and transitions it's this journey. Excellent breakdown as always!!
    Hope your shoulder heals quickly!

    You make a lot of very apt observations about music. A lot of the ideas that you share make me realize very interesting and profound things about the music I love that I never really realized before. Thank you for sharing.
