Gojira - Free Willy Metal

[dill_the_devil]

Ocean Planet's pretty good too... but yeah, most of Gojira's songs have that juddering rhythmic thing going on at some point.

 

[lurch70]

this is another band that is for your hram first .. then your head ...

 

[Necro Joe]

to me they sound like Morbid Angel meets Voivod with the energy of early Sepultura

Yeah totally, the endless comparisons with Meshuggah + Isis/Neurosis are damn misleading.

Metal Observer: "GOJIRA possess distinct modern elements and can be compared to a host of peers. I hear FEAR FACTORY during the latter half of “Ocean Planet” and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD in “The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe.” MASTODON are included, too, as well as a production reminiscent of MESHUGGAH. The approach is uncannily similar to that of their predecessors, therefore “From Mars To Sirius” showcases a band neck-deep in aggression and MESHUGGAH-esque mind-fuckery."

That's me. :Smug:

 

[circus_brimstone]

EDIT: listened to a sample. cant stand that stop/start nonsense for very long. sounds semi-meshuggah-ish. the comparisons are justified.

I hear a lot of Meshuggah in Gojira, but I wouldn't necessarily say that Gojira sound like Meshuggah. If someone liked Meshuggah and wanted another band to listen to, I'd point them in the direction of Gojira (and vice-versa), though they're quite different from one another if dissected exhaustively.

(this song rules )

 

[lurch70]

oh yeah ... and the song above, FLYING WHALES, the beginning part ... I guess that could lead to ISIS as a comparison

 

[lurch70]

oh man ... this is going to be great if they don't fuck it up ...

Guitarist/vocalist Joe Duplantier of the French progressive death metallers GOJIRA will play bass on the debut CD from the new project featuring SEPULTURA founding members Max and Igor Cavalera. Recordings for the album began this past weekend in Los Angeles with producers Dirty Icon (Logan Mader [ex-MACHINE HEAD, SOULFLY] and Lucas Banker). A late 2007 release via Roadrunner Records is expected.

Commented Duplantier: "Playing with Max and Igor is like living a dream, I've always had so much respect for their musical achievements; it is an incredible personal experience for me."

In a recent interview posted on SOULFLY's official web site, Max stated about his collaboration with Igor, "I think it's sounding like a combination of things I've done with NAILBOMB and SEPULTURA, and even SOULFLY, of course, but these songs are coming to be more live on the spot. I recorded some simple four-tracks for a lot of them, similar to the ones that people may have heard through the SOULFLY MySpace, and I sent out a CD to everybody about a month ago with like 10 songs, but at that time I didn't even know exactly who else I'd be working with in the project. I knew that Igor would be doing drums and percussion, and I'd be doing vocals and guitar. Now Marc Rizzo is going to be playing lead guitar and and the [guitarist] and vocalist from GOJIRA will help us out to give it a bit of a different vibe. I like GOJIRA a lot — they're a fucking kick-ass band. It's a special album for me because it's a very global group of musicians. One from France [from GOJIRA], one from the U.S., and two from Brasil. I think that's going to add something very cool, even trippy, and definitely my style."

 

[JayKeeley]

I think it's gonna sound like Soulfly.

Adrian and Mike are you still going to this? I haven't put in a time off request for that particular day so I'm leaning towards nay myself. Adrian you can have my ticket.

 

[NAD]

When/where/how/what/why? I was drunk when you told me about it, and I'm currently too foolish to check Ticketbastard meself.

 

[NAD]

Oh yeah, we're going to see Enslaved next month at the Galaxy, FYI and such. Tickets arrived yesterday.

EDIT: I should find the MIKE PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE!!! thread.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Gojira/Behemoth at the House of Balls Sunset Oct 26th. I may still attend, currently undecided.


Shit cost $25 shekels.

 

[NAD]

I think I'm going to the airport that night. It might be Thursday though, but either way the woman's sister is in town and I likely have to play host that evening. No complaints, she's awesome.

So I doubt I'm going, dammit. I still need to see these fuckers some day.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Dev is still apologizing for this band.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Dev is still apologizing for this band.

He should be apologizing for the cowardice exhibited by his forefathers on the various battlefields of World War II.

 

[Krilons Resa]

... not for a band that slaps more ass ...

Well, there ya have it. This band is officially GHEY.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Go listen to Modest Mouse you're completely out of it. [/Demilich]

 

[Krilons Resa]
