So i was reading this review of this record from GOJIRA (France) on Blabbermouth ... high rating ...
http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/showreview.aspx?reviewID=535

the review is pretty dead on, except the Messugah bit.

they sound like a heavy fucking Mastodon, once Mastodon got their all their instruments to play n'sync.

but more like an ISIS with vocals ... with a touch of Voivod ... but some blast beats and pure heaviness.

Most of you should really eat this stuff up ...

these guys rule ... hold that fucking riff and drill it into my head baby ... fuck yeah ...
 
this band has a couple of tracks on this disc that sound the closest as anyone has come to emmulate the vibe of Voivod + add their own touch to it ... that in itself is an accomplishment :kickass:
 
Don't get him started on Gojira .. :loco:

Their recent success remains a mystery for me , not that the actual quality of the musicanship is questionned by anyone but they are not catchier nor benefit from a greater promotion than other French bands (now yes but back in 2000..) . At least they did not steal their recent "hype" but that's all I can say on their behalf.
 
I've been listening to them quite a bit, and I've been getting an older Sepultura vibe at times. They are very modern sounding, though. So don't twist your nipples when you don't understand what I mean.
 
this band rules so much ...

NAD ... check this disc out ... Morbid Angel and Tool mixed ... :kickass:
 
yeah i still need to. keep forgetting their damn name BUTT!!!!!! i think it was actually the name of some group in the Pynchon book i'm currently reading. it could be fate!
