Im 50 and been a metal head since I first heard Sabbath back in da 70's. I got my kids into the classics, and my kids get me into da newer stuff like Gojira, Mastodon, Messsugah, and Dillinger. I love them for it, but thats what family's do for each other. And my kids and I will rock out to Mastodon, Rush, Black Daliah, nwobhm bands, Death, Gojira, Neurosis, Electric Wizard, and what ever else.
"Tell me what you see In the afterlife " The mother of Goijira's Joe and Mario Duplantier mother passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the direction that Gojira take on the album and this song finds Joe Duplantier talking to his late mom directly. "We were so inspired by how incredibly brave she was before she passed, she understood that there was no hope left and she embraced it. She gave us what she had to give, she took care of her material things, her bank accounts, her rent, all those details, in an attempt to detach herself from all worldly possessions. It was a lesson, I had an example from my Mum on how to leave this world with grace and I'll have that forever, it's a gift that she gave to me and my brother and my sister. We have that in us and it's an incredible gift; I hope my own death will be as peaceful and beautiful as hers … we shall see." The song's music video was directed by Alain Duplantier, the cousin of Joe and Mario Duplantier. It includes shots inside an empty house. Joe Duplantier explained: "One of the 'characters' featured in this film is 'Gayeres,' the family house where Mario and I grew up. We jammed to our first songs, started Gojira, and recorded most of our albums there."
My mother has just passed away in a very similar way. This song haunts me since her departure. Hope I'll be as brave they had when I'll face the Death my self.
this album changed my life. I was in and out of foster care,parents in prison, struggling with coping with such a shitty childhood. I am a MASSIVE GOJIRA FAN and this album was life changing. It taught me to embrace what's part of my past and to let it all go because that's the only way to move on. to love, to learn, and to be something for this one life we get. So many were critical.of this album, but mario and joes mother passed away and they wrote this. people need to keep that in perspective. its such a beautiful, moving tribute to their late mother
Well spoken words, from what Ive read, you're already doing good. We're doing better than we think we are sometimes. Cheers man, take care of yourself. 👏♠️
It's awesome to see how they took their grieves about this tragic loss and made something very positive out of it. These two guys are amazing. Joe once said he had hard times thinking about singing some of the magma songs because of these personal things but when he does it's like Katharsis. You have to get it out and afterwards you kinda feel uplifted - and so it is, listening to this Music 😉
Mario is a unique drummer he has to be one of the best in the world, out of all genres. He plays with incredible timing, technicality, speed, doesn't play at one speed constantly, is creative, and above all, plays with emotion. A unique blend of everything. It's hard to imagine what Gojira would sound like with a different drummer...
I think so too. Every song has different drum unique, rich sound and distant from each song. I wonder how he even remembers and repeats the sound during live.
IDK how I went so long without checking them out.... Such an epic band! I first came across a show they did at Red Rocks in '17 a few nights ago.... my god!!!
So glad I'm not alone in this! The rawness, the emotion. You can clearly see how much they loved her, and how her passing impacted them. It makes me choke up every time.
The song is amazing and the story about it is both sad and powerful. It is dedicated to Patricia Duplantier, Mario and Joe's mom. She passed away in 2015 and Joe wrote this song in her memory. The house was their and the fire has been a request from Patricia as a "funeral celebration", gathering friends and family. Mario Duplantier made an interview explaining it in a drum magazine (only in french sorry). Thank you Gojira for this song, I hope it helped you to recover.
Thank you for this:) I was wondering what the translation was..No need to add the fact, but I will, That Gojira is the best band walking the face of the Earth Right Now!:)
It's amazing how many bands there are with vocals, 2 guitars, a bass, and a drum set, yet this band comes and creates something so unique, so fresh, so open, not just this song, the whole repertoire ... Gojira will go down in history as one of the Greats, as a band which established their own style and released albums with unmistakable identity. They totally own the scene and following their progress is pure enjoyment, just awesome. Hats off.
check out Empalot, Joe and Mario's previous band. It has a Comedic-Gojiresque feeling and Joe sings in french. The album is "Tous aux cèpes". It is described as "Terroir Metal" which is quite accurate :') Dunno the translation for Terroir tho, but i guess you'll get it.
Both my parents died right when I began listening to this record. This song helped me get closure through the event. This record, and particularly this song, gave me a sense of awe and wonder in the midst of the situation. Gojira, thank you for the art you've created which has uplifted people all around the globe. Joe, Mario, what a blessed and proud mother you must have had.
Me too, my father is dying from pancreatic cancer , now in his lungs, he has thirty days. I listen to this song daily, it's a gift from Gojira to their mother and a sharing with their fans . Very kind, special men
Desdinova My father is unfortunately dying from colon cancer that has too spread to his lungs. Doctors don’t know how much time he has left. This song helps.
Music makes me very emotional sometimes. I was already feeling it and then I read your comment. I am so sorry. I barely even talk to my parents, they are kinda crap. We all have our pain and must perservere my friend. I hope great things for you.
The clip was directed by their oncle, the photography leaded by their sister, the actress casted by their cousin.. All the movie is a work of the Duplantier. Greatfull
Tell me what you see, In the after-life Par-delà le ciel Par-delà le soleil In all there is to learn The sun is on our side And though you're on the run You will survive… Expanded to the state of light The deepest corners of the world Gliding through the lowlands And swimming all the oceans Walking through the silence Already made it through the night There will be a new day Whenever the sun rises You're invisible, you're in everything Tell me what you see Tell me you're everywhere Tell me now… While you drift away, From all the plagues of this world You're put out of misery, giant monster… You won't have to face it again Every step of the way gets you higher… All the voices trapped underneath the ground Let them all go in the sky! Find the power lost underneath the ground Let it all blow in the sky! All the voices trapped in my head Let them all scream in the night! Find the power lost underneath the ground Let it all blow in the sky!
You guys...I am a heroin addict....and I don't want to be one any longer. Your song Low Lands represents so much positivity for me right now after being clean for over a week or so and I just would like to let you know that even if I have no idea what your original intent was in writing the song, the message brings tears to me. Love you guys. Please keep pounding such great music. Chad in Seattle.
LOL...I'm over 60..a professional musician of sorts from Detroit...Seen all the GREATS live over the years...All original members....Led Zeppelin with Bonham, Pink Floyd with Waters, Queen with Freddie, Thin Lizzy with Phil, Pantera over 30 times and on and on....I caught GOJIRA by chance at a show last year...2019 at DTE Music Center...Outdoor venue...My life hasn't been the same since!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE...GOJIRA....made certain to PURCHASE ALL hard copies of all their material including vinyl and shirts...LOL...Slipknot cannot light the match for this bands candle!!!! only a 40 minute set or so and I have been hooked for life! !!!!! I have turned many upon many "OLD TIMERS" such as myself onto this STELLAR GROUP! Cannot wait to see a HEADLINE SHOW!!!
Have fun discovering all their music! I want to add that this music video is shot in Joe's (vocals) and Mario's (drummer) childhood home. Their mom died of cancer during the writing of Magma so many songs like this one, are dedicated to her.
The DuPlantier's lost their mom over the past year----while working on Magma. As may or may not have been commented previously this video is about this loss. I saw this for the first time this morning on my way to work. I have been a Gojira freak since 2011 and one of the many things they live is integrity to one's emotional as well as physical lives. Emotional honesty is where I'm at now in my mid-40s. Its a necessity especially if you see your loved ones dying around you way too early. So, I am watching this on my device and listening on my car stereo. My car is warmed up, I just cant take my eyes off the cinematography. It is stellar. I realized at 2:50 I am caving internally. I have not cried since long before my MY mom died 3 years ago. I haven't dealt with it yet. I had to bury her and be the man so no emotions. Dad too is dead. So, at 4:00 I see the look on Joe's face and I recognize it as I have seen it on me many times. The water works started and I had no control. Snot bubbles, weird high pitched moans from god knows where in my gut. It started to come out and I was unable to worry about how I looked to the neighbor getting in her car, the kids walking by. My own sense of what is acceptable. I let go. Gojira has this affect. To all of you who fear losing your Metal flavor of the week, grow up and let their music has its way with you. These guys are for real.
So true! That's why I watch the video so often. The entire song is already fairly intense, but just seeing his face when he is screaming into the camera adds so much to it. That's him expressing the overwhelming sadness and that deeply rooted feeling in your gut when you are confronted with things that beat you down. Thanks for sharing! It's great to read others sharing my love for this music. It's something I can't seem to share with anyone in my circle of friends or family. The prejudice against this type of music is still miles high where I live and hardly anyone is prepared to meet it with open eyes and an open mind. Take care!
@@SirXander Tool hasn't released anything creatively interesting in that timespan, either; not since Enema. It doesn't matter if they haven't released anything up to expectations in a while, that concert would still be insane.
I don't know why , but there's something so deep about this song, it makes feel something very special, like sadness and peace at the same time. And the video is so gorgeous , It almost makes my cry, what a song.
Dammnit the acoustic guitar in the end combined with the members standing around a burning pyre was so unexpected, haunting and awesome at the same time.
I lost my mother on June 17th 2024. She suffered two hemorrhagic strokes. The first one paralyzed her right side but she was still herself. The second one happened two days short of a year later at 363 days after the first one. That one wiped away everything. It seemed as if her brain was reformatted. She couldn't remember anything but could say one or two words. She lived on a peg feeding tube for 10 years. Unable to taste food or drink. She kept smiling throughout Covid and could say I love you and where are you? through video chats. She cheated death twice more. I spent Christmas with her in ICU at the end of 2023. When she recovered, they talked me into restarting her peg feeding and as soon as I consented, the oxygen machine and lamp flickered off for about a second. No other lights in the room changed. Just that AC receptacle. The nurse and I looked at each other and both said what was that? at the exact same time. My mom stopped tolerating the feeds mid May of 2024. I had to make the terrible decision to discontinue the life support. She made it nearly a month and her battle ended on June 17th at around 9am. She made fools of at least 4 different doctors that told me she wouldn't survive 24 hours after her strokes. She was the strongest person I've ever known. Rest in Peace Angie. I will cherish your memory and love you forever 🕯🪽🤍 Fly Free into Eternity
lost mine to leukemia everithing was good than bang one day she is gone from complications. i havent been in touch as much as i should have. hurts alot
These guys are so classy compared to pretty much every other metal band; they aren't covered in terrible tattoos, they don't wear embarrassing death metal shirts to try and earn scene cred, and they don't incorporate the latest trends into their music...they just keep evolving a sound that they pioneered themselves. It makes me happy to think the Duplantier brothers still have each other when going through one of the worst losses a family can suffer, and that they can turn that into incredible music to share with the world. Amazing cinematography and overall just a beautiful video.
That's why I said they aren't covered in 'terrible' tattoos. I think some tattoos can have meaning and look pretty good, but overall they have become a fad and it's just my opinion but most of the time they just end up making people look worse.
They're very much a rarity in metal. They're very proud of the unique sound they've created and have never been concerned with being "heavy enough" for the elitists. Their music is real, emotional and they seem to keep finding ways to outdo themselves. Not to mention the fact that they're simply brilliant musicians and immensely talented
You're a bit judgmental aren't you? Anybody who wears a band shirt and has tattoos is pretentious and trying to fit into a scene? You ever think maybe some people just like what they fuckin like?
i didn't expect this a bit 'softish' Gojira album to be my favourite release of this very productive year for metal. Very good album, masterpiece song.
I love that riff, wish there were more riffs like it; it's almost like they contain themselves throughout the record only to give away these magnificent riffs in both this song and in Magma.
*Low Lands* Tell me what you see In the afterlife Par-delà le ciel Par-delà le soleil In all there is to learn The sun is on our side And though you're on the run You will survive Expanded to the state of light The deepest corners of the world Gliding through the lowlands And swimming all the oceans Walking through the silence Already made it through the night There will be a new day Whenever the sun rises You're invisible You're in everything Tell me what you see Tell me what you see When you're everywhere When you're everywhere Tell me now Tell me now While you drift away from all the plagues of this world You're put out of misery, giant monster You won't have to face it again Every step of the way gets you higher All the voices trapped underneath the ground Let 'em all go in the sky Find the power lost underneath the ground Let it all blow in the sky All the voices trapped in my head Let 'em all scream in the night Find the power lost underneath the ground Let it all blow in the sky *Low Lands, a song of their 6th album “Magma”, is an homage to their mother and more specially the Landes in France, where Mario and Joe were born.*
This turned me into an emotional wreck... my mother passed away a few years ago and this really hit close to home... thank you guys so much for creating something so beautiful... Joe, Mario, I can tell your mother would be proud of you two...
While nothing can truly encapsulate the grief of losing a loved one, their song provides a balm for a wounded soul. To those of you whom are here for that same reason, may your loved ones rest in peace.
Makes me extremely grateful to still have my parents around. Good music puts your life into perspective, and Gojira does a wonderful job at that. Love this band so much
I come back to this song often because no matter what you're going through in life, this song will be there to justify and carry you through what you're feeling. Love this band so much!
There isn't one song that gives me chills like this does. Not one. Gojira is the most incredible band I've heard and will remain that way. Every album is a masterpiece.
Un bien bel hommage que vous avez pondu là ... Et la rage qui émane de ce final !!! Merci de représenter la France sur la scène internationale. Vivement le 7ème opus
This song is so personal, yet so relatable. I personally lost my granfather to cancer, my first and only true mentor, but I suppose most of us experienced cancer and the loss of a close one due to it. The lyrics of this song apply perfectly to all of us. It's a shame they probably never play it live
I'm late to the Gojira party, been a fan for months verses year but man, I'm catching up fast. One of the best bands around right now. My new mission is to see them live, somewhere, sometime.
Same for me bro. I'm from France 🇨🇵, pretty near of where they're from and I didn't know them, it sounds crazy as I listen metal ... 🤦🏻♂️. But I'm catched now. Fortitude is a great album, but Magma is a masterpiece💎. I never felt that much emotional with a metal album before Magma. And I'm lucky enough to see them live in February 2022 in Bordeaux. Hope you will too. Greetings from France 😀
@@guillaumeravereau8851 Magma is now on my top 10 favorite albums of all time. The feelings I get from that album begin the second the first song begins. It's an amazing listen.
As an agnostic, and someone who lost my mother, much before our time; I appreciate this. As much Gojira music. I hold artefacts made by humans hands hundreds or even thousands of years before I was born and I wonder about all this. Not spiritual or purely intellectual, but the human experience of everyone that traverses life. Human relationships are important even though they are fleeting.
cant wait to see you live for the 1st time. im 50 battled depression all my life. i thought music was dead to me until i saw your commercial for the dsp. picked up my guitar again thanks to you. thank you guys
R.I.P. Patricia Rosa. We all love you. You and your husband did an amazing job raising these 2 brothers: a very melodic and caring vocalist, and a kickass yet beautifully amazing drummer who are both now at the top of the European metal scene making you proud in heaven.
Not only are the two core members of the band brothers, but the director and assistant director to this video seem to be their relatives in some way. Creative family!
Plus the location I guess is their home so it makes sense to keep it within the family as much as possible. Such a personal an intimate window I am almost embarrassed to look through
When I dissociate, this song takes me deep into darkened forests during blue hour where I connect with all the sentient beings past & present. They welcome me and comfort me, just like this song does. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gojira. This album is something incredibly special.
Few months ago while I was listening to this song and watching the video I started to cry so hard cause It really touched my nerves, I would never imagine at that time that I would lose a beloved one. It's been a week since then and only this song brings me some calm and peace to what I'm going through
Sorry for your loss, it's been a deeply stressful and melancholic year, you have my condolences for you and your family..may music make it a bit more bearable @@jshlerdunsephuriewayieroro3528
thanks buddy! i'll use google maps to see if it can show me some more. Is that place far away from a city or urban "conglomerate" ? is it safe? how do you get to buy a house within a forest
A really special song. It's the only Gojira song I can think of where Joe alternates his tones when doing his rough vocals, and it's really quite beautiful.
I think I have just found my new favourite band. Excellent album. Been listening to them all day. This album is superb. Varied, heavy and mature. Love it.
Does anything such as goosebumps attack exist that can cause death?! haha, seriously I don't know how much more goosebumps my body can handle every time I watch of listen to this amazing song !!! watched the video 10 times already!
This is arguably my favorite Gojira song, right here. What I love the most is the amount of tension building throughout the first half of the song that is taken to just the right level, then the gears shift at the halfway point, set it up...and then the BOMB DROPS and that tension is released and how. I *love* that! The depth and emotional resonance in this one is profound and the more you listen, the more you notice the layers in the vocals, with the well placed screams here and there underlining key parts of the lyrics. This makes me think of my late grandmother, who was the mother I never had in a variety of ways, and how I felt when she passed in 1992, and how I miss her to this day. Great work, Messrs., great work!
This song, listening closely to the lyrics literally brought tears to my eyes, thinking about the Brothers Duplantier and what they've been through, talking about where they grew up, and necessarily bringing up memories of loss.
The song being about the death of their mother, the video being directed by their cousin and shot on location of their childhood home. I dont think you'll ever find a more personal and heartfelt music video..ever. Beautiful.
I'm glad this album is as polarizing as it is amongst fans honestly. Seems to be weeding out all the try hard "metal heads" who can't seem to appreciate creative expression. Gojira went in a different direction with this album for various reasons and I'm happy for them to not only have that artistic drive, but to take that risk, knowing well those who don't like change might not be on board by the time the album drops. I don't know. It's boring when bands do more of the same, which is why I honestly don't listen to many metal bands nowadays, but Gojira is always taking it to the next level and I love that. Looking forward to seeing them live in October.
I was asking a friend of mine about the album, he told me just this, with a dead face : "Matthew Bellamy" I don't feel as harsh as my friend, but he is kind of right in some remote feeling. Magma is overall a very good nowadays metal album. It's not the best Gojira album, but it's not the worst IMO. (is it even possible to top off "From Mars to Sirius" ? :P)
I'm sorry for necroing this comment, but the mention of taking it to the next level reminds me of what Joe said in an interview about it. The journalist asked about the change in sound and he explained Gojira as being like a tree. At the start it grows upwards and becomes thicker. But it doesn't just grow upward, that would look silly. It branches out. I think Magma is a fantastic album, it just took a couple listens to for me to truly appreciate it for what it is. And no, i'm not sure it is possible to top From Mars to Sirius. Lol.
It is. It's called "The Way of All Flesh." :þ While it might sound blasphemous, I tend to think of Magma as Gojira's "Hail to the King"; an album where they softened their sound and trimmed it down to the very core, with as little flourish as possible, letting everything breathe. When A7X released that album, many fans were similarly up in arms crying "OMFGMAINSTREAMSELLOUTRUINEDFOREVER!!1!"… Then their next album took yet another, more experimental direction, and now more people appreciate HTTK for what it is. I think it'll be the same for Magma. Once Gojira releases another album, this one will become just another chapter in the band's history. Although admittedly, I haven't seen *nearly* as many hostile reactions to this album as to HTTK. I really like the album myself, but I found it a tad repetitive at times. =[
Tony Sanchez I have to agree with you. I love this sound. I can hear AIC and Tool in this album. The hypnotic voicings. Something tells me psychedelics help shape the sound of this album. I'm a big fan.
Maybe my favourite song on Magma, but I only just saw there was a video. Love that the actress from Vacuity came back, love it even more that I just happened to watch that video right before this one! Cathartic. That beat in the intro, the power in the outro; phenomenal track.
I wish i could meet these guys and just say thank you for the music they've written, that pulled me up out of mud in life, and are still there to remind that "I am here to continue after all I have been through." One important thing I've learned from their music is that, at the end of the day, living and dying are one in the same.
My son is 15 and recently became a huge gojira fan.. I just heard magma and fortitude these past few days and I am literally addicted!!!... 😭 The spiritual and life/death themes Are things i obsess a lot over on the daily in my mind.. I am deeply in love with their music and lyrics... We Hope to be able to go to one of their concerts, we live in Denmark and I am sooo hoping they'll tour in Europe soon ❤️✌️. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is almost the most bare boned Gojira. ALot happened to them during the writing of this album. The band lost a band mate who was always there but wasn't present in everything they did. These men grew a lot during this period and you can hear it in their music. Fuck the haters that think they lost their groove. I STILL get chills when I listen to this stuff. A lot changes when a The Reaper shows it's face.
@@Gravityys As someone whose part of the family are sailors I have been in that part of France quite a few times. And I can say that even if the photography/lighting here make it look more beautiful than it is, it's still close to how it really looks. The sunsets are really that beautiful and there are very dense forests with the Pyrénées mountains not too far. The air is really pure and it's the best place to bring your friends or children. These guys must have had a very happy childhood.
this whole album really grew on me. i remember first seeing this video when initially released and i was like 'ok' but it took me 5 years to realize how a masterpiece this really is
Don't mean to knock on long-time Gojira fans especially since not only am I new to the band but also new to this genre of Metal (Metallica being the heaviest I like) but how can you dislike this album? I listened to L'Enfant Sauvage & From Mars to Sirius and although they are brilliant records they just don't bring out the emotions & melodies that Magma brings to the table. Yes there's some ''softer'' stuff on there but it also delivers some of the most heavy & fierce music I ever heard all that while still being melodic. I hate screaming, shredding & wood shedding just for the sake of being the loudest, fastest, darkest band out there. Gojira are true musicians & artists and that usually comes with the need to re-invent yourself. One of my favorite albums of the year. Peace

That moment, when you're 50, and you've listened to all kinds of music for decades, and you realize... you needed this band and their music years ago.
Welcome to the family.
🤘
I can relate! I’m 54 and got into Gojira last year, tentatively, now they’re my favourite band!
Excellent. They are rising among favorites... though it'll be hard to unseat my top 3. Glad to see I am among like-minded folks.
Im 50 and been a metal head since I first heard Sabbath back in da 70's. I got my kids into the classics, and my kids get me into da newer stuff like Gojira, Mastodon, Messsugah, and Dillinger. I love them for it, but thats what family's do for each other. And my kids and I will rock out to Mastodon, Rush, Black Daliah, nwobhm bands, Death, Gojira, Neurosis, Electric Wizard, and what ever else.
"Tell me what you see
In the afterlife
"
The mother of Goijira's Joe and Mario Duplantier mother passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the direction that Gojira take on the album and this song finds Joe Duplantier talking to his late mom directly. "We were so inspired by how incredibly brave she was before she passed, she understood that there was no hope left and she embraced it. She gave us what she had to give, she took care of her material things, her bank accounts, her rent, all those details, in an attempt to detach herself from all worldly possessions.
It was a lesson, I had an example from my Mum on how to leave this world with grace and I'll have that forever, it's a gift that she gave to me and my brother and my sister. We have that in us and it's an incredible gift; I hope my own death will be as peaceful and beautiful as hers … we shall see."
The song's music video was directed by Alain Duplantier, the cousin of Joe and Mario Duplantier. It includes shots inside an empty house. Joe Duplantier explained: "One of the 'characters' featured in this film is 'Gayeres,' the family house where Mario and I grew up. We jammed to our first songs, started Gojira, and recorded most of our albums there."
My mother has just passed away in a very similar way. This song haunts me since her departure. Hope I'll be as brave they had when I'll face the Death my self.
Thank you for this info bro, makes the song more special
@@simon-nox7019 @Simón - Nox Thank you :-) Gracias por tu amable nota y el tiempo para escribirla :-)
Mother, do you think they'll like this song?
Alain Duplantier is not a cousin. He is an uncle. Patricia's brother.
this album changed my life. I was in and out of foster care,parents in prison, struggling with coping with such a shitty childhood. I am a MASSIVE GOJIRA FAN and this album was life changing. It taught me to embrace what's part of my past and to let it all go because that's the only way to move on. to love, to learn, and to be something for this one life we get. So many were critical.of this album, but mario and joes mother passed away and they wrote this. people need to keep that in perspective. its such a beautiful, moving tribute to their late mother
netherwarper thanks for sharing, man!
Hope you're doing better now! 🤘
Well spoken words, from what Ive read, you're already doing good. We're doing better than we think we are sometimes. Cheers man, take care of yourself. 👏♠️
Keep your head up!!!
Thanks
4 years late, but better late than never:
Rest In Peace Patricia Rosa, mother of the best brothers in modern metal.
God damn beautiful song...
@@Duckbass111 t'as des soucis mec
🖤
It's awesome to see how they took their grieves about this tragic loss and made something very positive out of it. These two guys are amazing. Joe once said he had hard times thinking about singing some of the magma songs because of these personal things but when he does it's like Katharsis. You have to get it out and afterwards you kinda feel uplifted - and so it is, listening to this Music 😉
@@Failhaid it is really awesome, that's why I love this album!
Mario is a unique drummer he has to be one of the best in the world, out of all genres. He plays with incredible timing, technicality, speed, doesn't play at one speed constantly, is creative, and above all, plays with emotion. A unique blend of everything. It's hard to imagine what Gojira would sound like with a different drummer...
I think so too. Every song has different drum unique, rich sound and distant from each song. I wonder how he even remembers and repeats the sound during live.
I love how he does a lot of Shuffle type grooves in their songs, such a surprisingly great fit
Agree
Also Alex Bent from Trivium, but mario has such a dynamism.
Yeah he’s definitely one of the most unique, the songs would be way different in a bad way I think without him 😅
my life exists in two parts:
before i heard about gojira
after i heard about gojira
It actually is like that! Like when I first heard Devil's Orchard by Opeth as well.
B.G and A.G lol
IDK how I went so long without checking them out.... Such an epic band! I first came across a show they did at Red Rocks in '17 a few nights ago.... my god!!!
my life was also split in two:
before I read your comment
and after I read your comment
Same here
4:23 This part gives me fucking goosebumps. Two sons paying tribute to their mother. This shit gets me man
So glad I'm not alone in this! The rawness, the emotion. You can clearly see how much they loved her, and how her passing impacted them. It makes me choke up every time.
i only just now realized the whole segment of screams is only the two brothers. that is so beautiful
@@klemenbagaric7926 shit. Me too
@@klemenbagaric7926 holy shit
Same here dude
Meshuggah: colossal
Opeth: foggy, distant
Leprous: bitter
Gojira: mystic
this analogy: beautiful
@@ThaTruth223 love everything about both of ur comments
If i have to refer any band as mystic, i think septicflesh would be the one. I might refer Gojira as beautiful/soulful
I wouldn't say Mystic. For me, they sound something more Cosmic. Idk, it feels almost like reading a H.P Lovecraft book...
@@jahvayehudidiasmascarenhas4028 nile actually have had songs/albums inspired by h. P. Lovecraft
The song is amazing and the story about it is both sad and powerful.
It is dedicated to Patricia Duplantier, Mario and Joe's mom. She passed away in 2015 and Joe wrote this song in her memory. The house was their and the fire has been a request from Patricia as a "funeral celebration", gathering friends and family.
Mario Duplantier made an interview explaining it in a drum magazine (only in french sorry).
Thank you Gojira for this song, I hope it helped you to recover.
Par-delà le ciel - Beyond the sky
Par-delà le soleil - Beyond the sun ...
You are an amazing detail bro :)
Thank you for this:) I was wondering what the translation was..No need to add the fact, but I will, That Gojira is the best band walking the face of the Earth Right Now!:)
Beyond the moon not sky
@@emeraldeyedstruggler3362 Moon = lune .... Sky = ciel :) ... Joe does really say "Beyond the sky"
@@Buulz thank you, i mixed lune and ciel
It's amazing how many bands there are with vocals, 2 guitars, a bass, and a drum set, yet this band comes and creates something so unique, so fresh, so open, not just this song, the whole repertoire ... Gojira will go down in history as one of the Greats, as a band which established their own style and released albums with unmistakable identity. They totally own the scene and following their progress is pure enjoyment, just awesome. Hats off.
dont forget they sorta created djent before it was even a word much less a thing
@@mobieus7 Not sure where you see the connection.
Gojira just stop. You're making all the other bands look bad.
Lolol. Hail gojira! 🤘🤘🤘
young bands*
The only band that is still better than gojira is pantera
Aiden Cantrell Depends on who you ask. haha
hail gojira thats the only thing we need in music industry
I hope someday they'll release a song in French... I think that would be amazing. Love for Gojira, this album is awesome as expected.
check out Empalot, Joe and Mario's previous band. It has a Comedic-Gojiresque feeling and Joe sings in french. The album is "Tous aux cèpes". It is described as "Terroir Metal" which is quite accurate :') Dunno the translation for Terroir tho, but i guess you'll get it.
I hope they don't.
As a French speaker, I don't think French is a great language for metal.
@@maximef.994 Just discovered Empalot this year! Love it! I find myself grinning with joy from start to finish in every song!
@@chubydukskruber7969 I agree
It's 6 in the morning and I'm bingeing Gojira already. Just discovered them yesterday.
Lucky you, huh-
Both my parents died right when I began listening to this record. This song helped me get closure through the event. This record, and particularly this song, gave me a sense of awe and wonder in the midst of the situation. Gojira, thank you for the art you've created which has uplifted people all around the globe. Joe, Mario, what a blessed and proud mother you must have had.
Me too, my father is dying from pancreatic cancer , now in his lungs, he has thirty days. I listen to this song daily, it's a gift from Gojira to their mother and a sharing with their fans . Very kind, special men
I'm sorry for your loss!
Desdinova My father is unfortunately dying from colon cancer that has too spread to his lungs. Doctors don’t know how much time he has left. This song helps.
Music makes me very emotional sometimes. I was already feeling it and then I read your comment. I am so sorry. I barely even talk to my parents, they are kinda crap. We all have our pain and must perservere my friend. I hope great things for you.
My mother died when I was 15. My dad when i was 23. This song is so mystically comforting.
the photography it´s amazing!
this, i've taken a lot of screen caps
The clip was directed by their oncle, the photography leaded by their sister, the actress casted by their cousin.. All the movie is a work of the Duplantier. Greatfull
Excellence runs in the family...
+Papy Jizass yes I'm so happy they have kids and hope they have many more. I don't know what the world will do without Gojira
It's the same cousin from Vacuity, right?
Tell me what you see,
In the after-life
Par-delà le ciel
Par-delà le soleil
In all there is to learn
The sun is on our side
And though you're on the run
You will survive…
Expanded to the state of light
The deepest corners of the world
Gliding through the lowlands
And swimming all the oceans
Walking through the silence
Already made it through the night
There will be a new day
Whenever the sun rises
You're invisible, you're in everything
Tell me what you see
Tell me you're everywhere
Tell me now…
While you drift away,
From all the plagues of this world
You're put out of misery, giant monster…
You won't have to face it again
Every step of the way gets you higher…
All the voices trapped underneath the ground
Let them all go in the sky!
Find the power lost underneath the ground
Let it all blow in the sky!
All the voices trapped in my head
Let them all scream in the night!
Find the power lost underneath the ground
Let it all blow in the sky!
theres lyrics in the description
Behold the power of ctrl + C ctrl + V
HUNTING
Does no one else not understand these lyrics at all
don't chose negative path or soul might wander just like this lonely realm
You guys...I am a heroin addict....and I don't want to be one any longer. Your song Low Lands represents so much positivity for me right now after being clean for over a week or so and I just would like to let you know that even if I have no idea what your original intent was in writing the song, the message brings tears to me. Love you guys. Please keep pounding such great music. Chad in Seattle.
C.M. Baasch Hey, man, that's awesome you try! How's the detox going? :)
Any updates my friend?
You can do it buddy
Keep going dude!
Dont surrender bro, how are you?
this band takes my soul out to dinner and then brings it home and makes sweet spiritual love to it.
no protection needed
I DON'T EVEN NEED DINNER FIRST JUST GETS DOWN TO BUSINESS
blessed be )o(
very good expression
mae mumbles yes indeed
Is it safe to say that Gojira is Life Metal?
Dimitri Archangelo Probably.
spiritually awakened metal
@@ssosso79 So, life metal
I call them zen metal lol
@@MasterJimJim hmm. yes. lol. maybe.. kundalini metal.
LOL...I'm over 60..a professional musician of sorts from Detroit...Seen all the GREATS live over the years...All original members....Led Zeppelin with Bonham, Pink Floyd with Waters, Queen with Freddie, Thin Lizzy with Phil, Pantera over 30 times and on and on....I caught GOJIRA by chance at a show last year...2019 at DTE Music Center...Outdoor venue...My life hasn't been the same since!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE...GOJIRA....made certain to PURCHASE ALL hard copies of all their material including vinyl and shirts...LOL...Slipknot cannot light the match for this bands candle!!!! only a 40 minute set or so and I have been hooked for life! !!!!! I have turned many upon many "OLD TIMERS" such as myself onto this STELLAR GROUP! Cannot wait to see a HEADLINE SHOW!!!
Have fun discovering all their music!
I want to add that this music video is shot in Joe's (vocals) and Mario's (drummer) childhood home. Their mom died of cancer during the writing of Magma so many songs like this one, are dedicated to her.
SLIPKNOT hasn't been the same since Paul Grey passed away. He might have been the glue.
Wouu
I came for the earth-shattering music, I stayed for the polyrhythm and haunting vocals. Don't ever leave me, Gojira.
The DuPlantier's lost their mom over the past year----while working on Magma. As may or may not have been commented previously this video is about this loss. I saw this for the first time this morning on my way to work. I have been a Gojira freak since 2011 and one of the many things they live is integrity to one's emotional as well as physical lives. Emotional honesty is where I'm at now in my mid-40s. Its a necessity especially if you see your loved ones dying around you way too early. So, I am watching this on my device and listening on my car stereo. My car is warmed up, I just cant take my eyes off the cinematography. It is stellar. I realized at 2:50 I am caving internally. I have not cried since long before my MY mom died 3 years ago. I haven't dealt with it yet. I had to bury her and be the man so no emotions. Dad too is dead. So, at 4:00 I see the look on Joe's face and I recognize it as I have seen it on me many times. The water works started and I had no control. Snot bubbles, weird high pitched moans from god knows where in my gut. It started to come out and I was unable to worry about how I looked to the neighbor getting in her car, the kids walking by. My own sense of what is acceptable. I let go. Gojira has this affect. To all of you who fear losing your Metal flavor of the week, grow up and let their music has its way with you. These guys are for real.
So true! That's why I watch the video so often. The entire song is already fairly intense, but just seeing his face when he is screaming into the camera adds so much to it. That's him expressing the overwhelming sadness and that deeply rooted feeling in your gut when you are confronted with things that beat you down.
Thanks for sharing! It's great to read others sharing my love for this music. It's something I can't seem to share with anyone in my circle of friends or family. The prejudice against this type of music is still miles high where I live and hardly anyone is prepared to meet it with open eyes and an open mind.
Take care!
Respect, brother...
😢😭
i thought it was there grandmother who passed away?
You dont heal until someone witnesses your Lamentations .......( from one whos lost their .....)
"Perfect things don't exist"
let me introduce you to Gojira, friend
Did you like Gojira mate? here let me show you Tool as well.
Ok guys
Let’s talk about Iron Maiden......
Yes.
how original!
Let me introduce you to Sybreed.
imagine a gojira, tool, and dream theater concert that just lasted hours and hours. you would leave the concert with a third eye dude
And possibly a permanent acid trip 😂
Oh fuck. Want want want
gojira, tool and meshuggah. it's almost been 20 years since dream theater put out anything even remotely interesting creatively speaking.
@@SirXander Tool hasn't released anything creatively interesting in that timespan, either; not since Enema. It doesn't matter if they haven't released anything up to expectations in a while, that concert would still be insane.
and possibly even more lol
Anyone else wish that melody at the end just wouldn't end?
Absolutely, much like the ending of Deliverance by Opeth. Those addictive riffs 🥴
Best part of the song imo. It's a fucking wild stretch to do though
they should have done more with it! made it into its own song even
That's pretty much my thought for every Gojira song
Kodama someone needs to make a 10 hour loop of it
I don't know why , but there's something so deep about this song, it makes feel something very special, like sadness and peace at the same time. And the video is so gorgeous , It almost makes my cry, what a song.
honestly, who could not love this?
everyone at my school
i love this song
People who don't understand what good music is

4:02 I love the buildup, and unleashed fury of this song.... It's so simple, but so effective. Legendary track.
No words.... Just goosebumps.... And a little bit of tears....
Dammnit the acoustic guitar in the end combined with the members standing around a burning pyre was so unexpected, haunting and awesome at the same time.
This is becoming my favorite song from Gojira..
AttilatheThrilla check out the live recording they did for Global Warming, its phenominal...
It's Joe's favorite apparently
You can't have chosen a shittier song
this is the song joe is most proud of
its mine.
I lost my mother on June 17th 2024. She suffered two hemorrhagic strokes. The first one paralyzed her right side but she was still herself. The second one happened two days short of a year later at 363 days after the first one. That one wiped away everything. It seemed as if her brain was reformatted. She couldn't remember anything but could say one or two words. She lived on a peg feeding tube for 10 years. Unable to taste food or drink. She kept smiling throughout Covid and could say I love you and where are you? through video chats. She cheated death twice more. I spent Christmas with her in ICU at the end of 2023. When she recovered, they talked me into restarting her peg feeding and as soon as I consented, the oxygen machine and lamp flickered off for about a second. No other lights in the room changed. Just that AC receptacle. The nurse and I looked at each other and both said what was that? at the exact same time. My mom stopped tolerating the feeds mid May of 2024. I had to make the terrible decision to discontinue the life support. She made it nearly a month and her battle ended on June 17th at around 9am. She made fools of at least 4 different doctors that told me she wouldn't survive 24 hours after her strokes. She was the strongest person I've ever known. Rest in Peace Angie. I will cherish your memory and love you forever 🕯🪽🤍 Fly Free into Eternity
lost mine to leukemia everithing was good than bang one day she is gone from complications. i havent been in touch as much as i should have. hurts alot
MUCHO TEXTO
RIP ❤❤❤
The scene where the woman walks through the tunnel into the bright light brought tears to my eyes, there's so much pain in this...😔
These guys are so classy compared to pretty much every other metal band; they aren't covered in terrible tattoos, they don't wear embarrassing death metal shirts to try and earn scene cred, and they don't incorporate the latest trends into their music...they just keep evolving a sound that they pioneered themselves. It makes me happy to think the Duplantier brothers still have each other when going through one of the worst losses a family can suffer, and that they can turn that into incredible music to share with the world. Amazing cinematography and overall just a beautiful video.
That's why I said they aren't covered in 'terrible' tattoos. I think some tattoos can have meaning and look pretty good, but overall they have become a fad and it's just my opinion but most of the time they just end up making people look worse.
+danzigking youre only cool if you have a tattoo nowadays...therefore it is even cooler not to have them
They're very much a rarity in metal. They're very proud of the unique sound they've created and have never been concerned with being "heavy enough" for the elitists. Their music is real, emotional and they seem to keep finding ways to outdo themselves. Not to mention the fact that they're simply brilliant musicians and immensely talented
+danzigking tatoos are cliche
You're a bit judgmental aren't you? Anybody who wears a band shirt and has tattoos is pretentious and trying to fit into a scene? You ever think maybe some people just like what they fuckin like?
i didn't expect this a bit 'softish' Gojira album to be my favourite release of this very productive year for metal.
Very good album, masterpiece song.
Tellement d'émotions dans cette musique... De l'émotion, de la qualité, une vraie histoire, du ressenti, du talent... Du Gojira !
this song tears my soul in pieces every time. So beautiful and moving
This song is a masterpiece. Greatness.
Amazing, just amazing guys... The perfect video for this deeply emotional song. Thank you.
C'est le plus bel hommage qu'on puisse faire à une mère.
Cette chanson est magnifique.
I want a video clip for "Magma" with just lava puring down from a volcano. Also the riff that starts at 4:04 is blow minding.
Blow Minding. XD lol
+Suresh Gaur hahaha
I love that riff, wish there were more riffs like it; it's almost like they contain themselves throughout the record only to give away these magnificent riffs in both this song and in Magma.
+Simon Laestander Magma at around 3:30
It's great cause it's building anticipation towards that riff. And that makes it more powerfull.

Tell me what you see

*Low Lands, a song of their 6th album “Magma”, is an homage to their mother and more specially the Landes in France, where Mario and Joe were born.*
:,(
Wonder how they manage to write such simple, but powerful song structures? These guys are geniuses....I wish I had a quarter of their skills.
RIP à leur maman et bravo à eux pour tout ce qu'ils font, elle sera à jamais fiere de leurs fils 💖
i want a video for Pray!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Best song on the album hands down
Magma+Pray. The transition and combo of the two is amazing.
+Jesse Reeves agreed
Magma into Pray is some Art of Dying-tier awesomeness
This turned me into an emotional wreck... my mother passed away a few years ago and this really hit close to home... thank you guys so much for creating something so beautiful... Joe, Mario, I can tell your mother would be proud of you two...
ruclips.net/video/CD7bxyzFbC4/видео.html listen to this, also about the lost of one of the band members
@@VelhaEscola666 Thank you for the link, you've just introduced a new wonderful band to me.
While nothing can truly encapsulate the grief of losing a loved one, their song provides a balm for a wounded soul. To those of you whom are here for that same reason, may your loved ones rest in peace.
Makes me extremely grateful to still have my parents around. Good music puts your life into perspective, and Gojira does a wonderful job at that. Love this band so much
Man, this is exactly my feeling at that time. I see my parents on Sunday for my 46 birthday and I feel lucky for this. ❤️
I come back to this song often because no matter what you're going through in life, this song will be there to justify and carry you through what you're feeling. Love this band so much!
C'est juste une putain de chanson hommage à leur Maman (Joe et Mario). Elle est parfaite !!
I can translate, sorry. 😁
It's a fucking hommage to their Mother who died a few years ago.
Simplesmente Fantástico

E que fotografia suprema neste vídeo.
***** Foda !

There isn't one song that gives me chills like this does. Not one. Gojira is the most incredible band I've heard and will remain that way. Every album is a masterpiece.
I really love the spiritual side of Gojira when they write their songs. It makes you feel alive
This should be nominated for music video of the year. Absolutely beautiful. The cinematography and music is emotional and atmospheric and stunning.
Un bien bel hommage que vous avez pondu là ...
Et la rage qui émane de ce final !!!
Merci de représenter la France sur la scène internationale.
Vivement le 7ème opus
This song is so personal, yet so relatable. I personally lost my granfather to cancer, my first and only true mentor, but I suppose most of us experienced cancer and the loss of a close one due to it. The lyrics of this song apply perfectly to all of us. It's a shame they probably never play it live
I'm late to the Gojira party, been a fan for months verses year but man, I'm catching up fast. One of the best bands around right now. My new mission is to see them live, somewhere, sometime.
Same for me bro. I'm from France 🇨🇵, pretty near of where they're from and I didn't know them, it sounds crazy as I listen metal ... 🤦🏻♂️. But I'm catched now. Fortitude is a great album, but Magma is a masterpiece💎. I never felt that much emotional with a metal album before Magma. And I'm lucky enough to see them live in February 2022 in Bordeaux. Hope you will too. Greetings from France 😀
@@guillaumeravereau8851 Magma is now on my top 10 favorite albums of all time. The feelings I get from that album begin the second the first song begins. It's an amazing listen.
As an agnostic, and someone who lost my mother, much before our time; I appreciate this. As much Gojira music. I hold artefacts made by humans hands hundreds or even thousands of years before I was born and I wonder about all this. Not spiritual or purely intellectual, but the human experience of everyone that traverses life. Human relationships are important even though they are fleeting.
cant wait to see you live for the 1st time. im 50 battled depression all my life. i thought music was dead to me until i saw your commercial for the dsp. picked up my guitar again thanks to you. thank you guys
One of the best metal bands EVER! No limit to these guys' creativity!
R.I.P. Patricia Rosa. We all love you. You and your husband did an amazing job raising these 2 brothers: a very melodic and caring vocalist, and a kickass yet beautifully amazing drummer who are both now at the top of the European metal scene making you proud in heaven.
Ma`am, you raised 2 amazing lads, thank u.
simply one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever made. thanks you, fellas.
Not only are the two core members of the band brothers, but the director and assistant director to this video seem to be their relatives in some way. Creative family!
and this song is about their mom who passed away during the making of this album
Sister Gabrielle is a photographer, their cousin played the lead in "Vacuity", and their father is a muralist. Yes, a very creative family.
@@klimtklavier that is amazing. RIP
Plus the location I guess is their home so it makes sense to keep it within the family as much as possible.
Such a personal an intimate window I am almost embarrassed to look through
When I dissociate, this song takes me deep into darkened forests during blue hour where I connect with all the sentient beings past & present. They welcome me and comfort me, just like this song does.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gojira. This album is something incredibly special.
Every second of this video is just perfect photography.
Such an underrated song...One of my favorites from Magma.
Few months ago while I was listening to this song and watching the video I started to cry so hard cause It really touched my nerves, I would never imagine at that time that I would lose a beloved one. It's been a week since then and only this song brings me some calm and peace to what I'm going through
My mother died May 12 2020. I will always love you...
Sorry to hear that... May she rest in peace
@@jaumesierra2093 Appreciate the well wishes. Music helps a lot . Again, thank you..
Rest in peace and I hope you'll get better stay strong ♡

@@jshlerdunsephuriewayieroro3528
Wow. Did they really lived there? Lovely house, lovely place
Yep! And recorded From Mars to Sirius and The Way of All Flesh (except the drums) there.
it's in the west of France. I go there sometimes and that's where gojira are from. it's called Les landes if you want to see more ;)
+vincent granger south west*
thanks buddy! i'll use google maps to see if it can show me some more.
Is that place far away from a city or urban "conglomerate" ? is it safe?
how do you get to buy a house within a forest
yep its the countryside , on the region of Bayonne ; i guess you buy the land , or they inherited it from forebears
May their mother RIP. Long live her spirit, Gojira and heavy music
Holy f... that wail at 2:35 gives me the chills everytime, so frikkin beautiful. Amazing song!
A really special song. It's the only Gojira song I can think of where Joe alternates his tones when doing his rough vocals, and it's really quite beautiful.
I think I have just found my new favourite band. Excellent album. Been listening to them all day. This album is superb. Varied, heavy and mature. Love it.
Does anything such as goosebumps attack exist that can cause death?! haha, seriously I don't know how much more goosebumps my body can handle every time I watch of listen to this amazing song !!! watched the video 10 times already!
you must like gojira alot!
music is powerfull :o !
well, flying whales is better
+SpectraLyz cool story!
I staunchly disagree, this song is absolutely killer
This is arguably my favorite Gojira song, right here. What I love the most is the amount of tension building throughout the first half of the song that is taken to just the right level, then the gears shift at the halfway point, set it up...and then the BOMB DROPS and that tension is released and how. I *love* that! The depth and emotional resonance in this one is profound and the more you listen, the more you notice the layers in the vocals, with the well placed screams here and there underlining key parts of the lyrics. This makes me think of my late grandmother, who was the mother I never had in a variety of ways, and how I felt when she passed in 1992, and how I miss her to this day. Great work, Messrs., great work!
Great analysis. It's definitely top 3 Gojira songs for me.
This song, listening closely to the lyrics literally brought tears to my eyes, thinking about the Brothers Duplantier and what they've been through, talking about where they grew up, and necessarily bringing up memories of loss.
That 3 & 3/4 minute intro is fantastic lead-in to the 1 & 1/4 minute jam
The song being about the death of their mother, the video being directed by their cousin and shot on location of their childhood home. I dont think you'll ever find a more personal and heartfelt music video..ever. Beautiful.
I like to think the song is their way of sending a heartfelt goodbye across the universe to their mother's spirit.
Lyndon Hamer I think thats a very eloquent way of looking at it.
Best music ever. Those guys have all my RESPECT because they are exeptionnal
I'm glad this album is as polarizing as it is amongst fans honestly. Seems to be weeding out all the try hard "metal heads" who can't seem to appreciate creative expression. Gojira went in a different direction with this album for various reasons and I'm happy for them to not only have that artistic drive, but to take that risk, knowing well those who don't like change might not be on board by the time the album drops. I don't know. It's boring when bands do more of the same, which is why I honestly don't listen to many metal bands nowadays, but Gojira is always taking it to the next level and I love that. Looking forward to seeing them live in October.
I was asking a friend of mine about the album, he told me just this, with a dead face : "Matthew Bellamy"
I don't feel as harsh as my friend, but he is kind of right in some remote feeling.
Magma is overall a very good nowadays metal album. It's not the best Gojira album, but it's not the worst IMO. (is it even possible to top off "From Mars to Sirius" ? :P)
I'm sorry for necroing this comment, but the mention of taking it to the next level reminds me of what Joe said in an interview about it. The journalist asked about the change in sound and he explained Gojira as being like a tree. At the start it grows upwards and becomes thicker. But it doesn't just grow upward, that would look silly. It branches out.
I think Magma is a fantastic album, it just took a couple listens to for me to truly appreciate it for what it is. And no, i'm not sure it is possible to top From Mars to Sirius. Lol.
It is. It's called "The Way of All Flesh." :þ
While it might sound blasphemous, I tend to think of Magma as Gojira's "Hail to the King"; an album where they softened their sound and trimmed it down to the very core, with as little flourish as possible, letting everything breathe. When A7X released that album, many fans were similarly up in arms crying "OMFGMAINSTREAMSELLOUTRUINEDFOREVER!!1!"… Then their next album took yet another, more experimental direction, and now more people appreciate HTTK for what it is.
I think it'll be the same for Magma. Once Gojira releases another album, this one will become just another chapter in the band's history. Although admittedly, I haven't seen *nearly* as many hostile reactions to this album as to HTTK.
I really like the album myself, but I found it a tad repetitive at times. =[
Tony Sanchez I have to agree with you. I love this sound. I can hear AIC and Tool in this album. The hypnotic voicings. Something tells me psychedelics help shape the sound of this album. I'm a big fan.
Tony Sanchez gojira went in a fucking brilliant way.
"Tell me what you see / when you're everywhere" is amazing.
Maybe my favourite song on Magma, but I only just saw there was a video. Love that the actress from Vacuity came back, love it even more that I just happened to watch that video right before this one! Cathartic. That beat in the intro, the power in the outro; phenomenal track.
I wish i could meet these guys and just say thank you for the music they've written, that pulled me up out of mud in life, and are still there to remind that "I am here to continue after all I have been through."
One important thing I've learned from their music is that, at the end of the day, living and dying are one in the same.
My son is 15 and recently became a huge gojira fan.. I just heard magma and fortitude these past few days and I am literally addicted!!!... 😭 The spiritual and life/death themes Are things i obsess a lot over on the daily in my mind.. I am deeply in love with their music and lyrics... We Hope to be able to go to one of their concerts, we live in Denmark and I am sooo hoping they'll tour in Europe soon ❤️✌️. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You know they live in France right?
Touring at the start of 2022, might want to grab tickts now
Beautiful, and it's wonderful to see where the Duplantier brothers grew up. This is the most honest Gojira, thank you for sharing.
This is almost the most bare boned Gojira. ALot happened to them during the writing of this album. The band lost a band mate who was always there but wasn't present in everything they did. These men grew a lot during this period and you can hear it in their music. Fuck the haters that think they lost their groove. I STILL get chills when I listen to this stuff. A lot changes when a The Reaper shows it's face.
+stealth soup they lost their mother while writing this album. Many songs from this album are about their mother.
+stealth soup Yes, thank you!
Duplantier's brothers lost their mom.
I agree, thanks for sharing something this personal Gojira.
Great! Hopefully they can record more songs like these in the future. I love the melancholic style and the accoustic outro.
"You're invisible, You're in everything"
Quel magnifique hommage à une maman ! Vous êtes de belles personnes...Cette chanson me fait pleurer.
Is it just me or do they find the most good looking places to film
Jeff the killer This is their childhood home
@@Gravityys no way? Its so nice 😍
@@risiathelemon Wouldn't mind spending a week there, I bet the smell of the air alone would be relaxing.
@@Gravityys As someone whose part of the family are sailors I have been in that part of France quite a few times. And I can say that even if the photography/lighting here make it look more beautiful than it is, it's still close to how it really looks. The sunsets are really that beautiful and there are very dense forests with the Pyrénées mountains not too far. The air is really pure and it's the best place to bring your friends or children. These guys must have had a very happy childhood.
Gojira is as good as they've ever been. This album is a triumph.
This video is one of the best music videos I have ever seen. It fits the song so good and gives it more meaning than it already has.
FAKE!! Mario is wearing a shirt and we all know thats impossible
Lol his worn t-shirt live before
+Brandon I know its just a joke
what's the joke i don't understand ? :P
+Dau Phinou Its rare that he wear a shirt he's usually topless
quiet new fan yeah it's so awesome
this is absolutely beautiful! I am crying...
this whole album really grew on me. i remember first seeing this video when initially released and i was like 'ok' but it took me 5 years to realize how a masterpiece this really is
Ele fez essa música pra mãe já falecida...essa música é simplesmente linda!!!🙏🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖
Don't mean to knock on long-time Gojira fans especially since not only am I new to the band but also new to this genre of Metal (Metallica being the heaviest I like) but how can you dislike this album? I listened to L'Enfant Sauvage & From Mars to Sirius and although they are brilliant records they just don't bring out the emotions & melodies that Magma brings to the table. Yes there's some ''softer'' stuff on there but it also delivers some of the most heavy & fierce music I ever heard all that while still being melodic. I hate screaming, shredding & wood shedding just for the sake of being the loudest, fastest, darkest band out there. Gojira are true musicians & artists and that usually comes with the need to re-invent yourself. One of my favorite albums of the year. Peace
4:24 Joe's scream always gets me.
Deadly Lotus in a scared way or goosebumps way
Tht part gives me goosebumps everytime
One of the most influential bands of my life. Every and I mean every song is an absolute banger. This one just hits different.
Gojira is without a doubt, my favorite band of all time. This shall never change.
