    "While many people do not associate heavy metal with the future of aerodynamics, it turns out that French heavy metal band Gojira were onto something in their song 'Flying Whales.' Humpback whales have bumps on the leading edge of their tails, which affects its aerodynamics."
    The start of my introduction for my Experimental Aerodynamics project.

      Bass and guitar plays the same thing too. They are just on different octaves. So...it's just majestic. That's the riff that made Gojira famous. Maybe not Top 10, but it deserves Top 100 at least, definitely.

    Water of chaos
    Have invaded all space
    The flood on earth again
    I have to find the whales
    That once did guides us
    To dry lands of life
    I won't despair
    I'll break this dark all around
    Under the heavy sea
    I'll search the flight of whales
    Beneath the seas I searched
    And had a different view
    Of us on earth
    The sinking ship of men
    But it's beyond the stars
    I found the place
    Where they were
    And they finally came to light
    Over the winds
    They dwell in light
    Like the arrow in the sky
    I found myself on higher grounds
    From up here
    For I see them in flight
    Now I can see the whales
    Looming out of the dark
    Like arrows in the sky
    I can't believe my eyes
    But it's true
    Huge tunnel ends in light
    Like banks of clouds they gather
    See massive shape of flesh
    Swimming giants in the clear
    The mightiest comes to me
    I'm on the wing, wide open
    They teach me how to fly
    Slowly moving in the air
    So much told with no words at all
    Powerful presence for only speech
    Breath
    Over the winds
    They dwell in light
    Fly

    I have always felt like this song has one of the most effective, and hardest hitting breakdowns ever written. It's not the most impressive, nor the most technical. It's relatively simple and straight forward, but it serves the purpose of a huge release after a long buildup better than any breakdown I've heard since. You can say what you will about breakdowns but when it's used right and hits hard, it's an incredibly cathartic feeling.
    This one hits like a fucking nuclear detonation.

    4:56 - 5:37 I lose it everytime when that section kicks in. I couldn't care less about elitists say but that section IMO is heavier and pulverizing than most slam metal songs I've listened to date. My face gets involuntarily scrunched up everytime I listen to these riffs. This is coming from someone who's an ardent fan of extreme metal - brutal death and black metal in particular. Gojira just nailed it, that's all I can say.

    Here's an adjusted version of the lyrics that is formated to the present meter:
    water of chaos have invaded all space
    The flood on earth again I have to find the whales
    That once did guides us to dry lands of life
    I won't despair
    I'll break this dark all around
    Under the
    heavy sea
    I'll search
    the flight
    of whales
    Beneath the seas I searched and had a different view
    Of us
    on earth
    The sinking ship of men
    But it's beyond the stars
    I found the place
    Where they were
    And they finally came to light
    Over
    the winds
    They dwell
    in light
    Like the arrow in the sky I found myself on higher grounds
    From up here
    For I see them in flight
    Now I can see the whales
    Looming out of the dark
    Like arrows in the sky
    I can't believe my eyes
    But it's true
    Huge tunnel ends in light
    Like banks of clouds they gather
    See massive shape of flesh
    Swimming giants in the clear
    The mightiest comes to me
    I'm on the wing, wide open
    They teach me how to fly
    Slowly moving in the air
    So much
    told with
    no words at all
    Powerful
    presence
    for only speech
    Breath
    Over
    the winds
    They dwell
    in light
    Fly

    Gojira is the only current-day metal band I really listen to, they caught my attention but probably a lot later than everyone else. I'm sure there's other great stuff out but they appeal a lot to my late 90s/early 00s tastes... this almost sounds like a heavier deftones.
