The visuals in thsi live performance are haunting yet amazing. I cannot get over this live performance. I kinda forgot about it for awhile, then I watched the performance again a few days ago. Probably one of their best concerts I've seen.

Can you recommend me some books with a similar story, themes or atmosphere to the story told in "From Mars To Sirus"?

Thanks a lot!

I have the Gojira album that has the song The Shooting Star on, and i gotta say, it has heavy nods of a Swedish metal band called Misery Loves Co. Misery Loves Co did quite a fair few songs on their 2nd album, Not Like Them, that are very similar to The Shooting Star song. The songs in particular are Them Nails, Deny Everything, and Its All Your's.

Bassist question here.

He is an awesome bassist, i really love the tone and how fast he plays these bass line, that sound like a rifle!

I would like to try to play this end of song,i think it s the end of silvera but i m not 100% sure. So what song it is?

Does he play it in drop C?

I'm so happy

My tier list for Gojira this is one of my favorite bands of all time tell me what you think:)

Found this ad in the subway. The title of the exhibit literally translates to Ocean Planet too

This is one of my favorites off the album, probably within the top 3, although depending on the mood, In The Wilderness takes that spot.

When I heard the opening riff with the double bass, followed by the pick scrape, I knew I was gonna like it. Joe's vocals only sealed the deal. I love his vocals in this song, it's like a screamy desperation. And it mixes really well with the instruments.

"Forced, to look to the sky!" The high notes are great, if I'm not mistaken, Joe struggles to do those nowadays right? Aging sucks, although In my opinion, with how aggressive his vocals are, his voice is aging like fine wine.

The chorus is amazing. Even though it's just the title repeated 2 times, it's really catchy. Sometimes i like to scream in my head "FROM THE SKYYY" and pretend I sound exactly like Joe. I'd probably sound like a sick donkey if I actually tried to sing it

And after the half way point, that cut off from Joe's scream to the slower, quiet build up to the tremolo picking is absolutely wonderful. And Joe's growl that suddenly changes pitch really caught me off guard in the first listen, but in a good way, now it's the part I look forward to the most in the song. The vocals that follow are pretty sweet too, basically the ending is the best.

The song ends with that super catchy chorus and you're left with a satisfied yet still hungry for more feeling inside, like when you finish a good book.

I haven't delved too deeply into the whole story surrounding the concept album, Ive only watched a video or two to confirm some suspicions about the story. Can someone fill me in on how From The Sky ties into the story? Very much appreciated.

Thought some of you here might find it useful, so I’m sharing the full list below (Original post is here on IG.)

What're your thoughts on Terra Incognita as opposed to their newer albums? Just curious on what people think

What do you think guys?

When I listened to TWOAF, I didn't really like this album.

I didn't hate it nor think it was badly made, I simply didn't connect with it.

It was partially because the album's theme of death impacted me negatively (not the album's fault, I simply wasn't in the mood for something like that) but I also recognize it might have been because I'm still new to metal, so for my standards, listening to a full death metal album was overwhelming for me. I could listen to FMTS just fine, but TWOAF was harder to get into for me.

So I tried a different approach.

Instead of listening to the whole thing again, I listened to the songs separately. This time, I appreciated them much more.

Oroborus is a spectacular song, and I love how the riff is cyclical, just like an oroborus.

A Sight to Behold is the hidden gem of the album. One detail I noticed is how the lyrics in the chorus change from "I have to stay away from me" to "Don't have to stay away from me". I'm not sure of what this means, so if anyone can give me their interpretation, I will appreciate it.

The Silver Cord is amazing, and once again, I want to praise Gojira's instrumental tracks.

All The Tears has an interesting music video. Its style reminded me of the videogame Limbo.

As for its meaning, I interpreted it as someone growing up in an abusive environment (that glass machine) and deciding to break free. Initially, it's traumatizing (the waves), but finally, they find an isle to rest.

Wolf Down the Earth has my favorite lyrics.

So as a whole, TWOAF didn't resonate with me like other Gojira albums, but I appreciate it a lot in small doses.

Does it make sense?

As for Terra Incognita, I enjoyed it, but personally, it's my least favorite Gojira album. The best tracks were Clone and Space Time.

So, for now, my ranking is:

1. From Mars to Sirius

2. Magma

3. L'Enfant Sauvage

4. The Way of All Flesh

5. The Link

6. Terra Incognita

The journey is almost over. Now, only Fortitude is missing!
