GODZILLA (Pre-GOJIRA) - Victim (France, Death Metal, 1996)

1. Victims
2. Blasphemy
3. Rigor Mortis
4. Sentenced to Life
Godzilla is the first name of the most famous French band: Gojira. This is the first demo of the band formed in 1996. Gojira is the original Japanese Toho Studios name for what was later misinterpreted by the American market as "Godzilla". The band was initially named "Godzilla" until they had to change their name due to copyright reasons.
Line-up:
Mario Duplantier: Drums
Christian Andreu: Guitars
Joe Duplantier: Guitars, Vocals
Alexandre Cornillon: Bass

i still can't believe that Mario was freakin 16 while making this... he is just so insanely good

[@HighRollersLounge]

He was born in 1981 so actually he was 15

God damn it. SHIT. Although I love “From Mars to Sirus”, this is the shit I love more. The production on it is superb and has so much Death as well as Gorguts inspiration.

[@Em90000l]

This is still probably my favourite Gojira project. It's so much more evil than their other stuff. It's sooo good

[@rottencrowfromcaelid7183]

Sounds much more like Death (Leprosy Era) than Morbid Angel :o

[@ClaudeMerle-zx8mf]

How could you compare late 80" era with 96" YEAR ?!!!!

[@Svenir]

Reminds me a lot of early Gorguts (and I love that). Would not suprise me if it was influenced by them

[@ClaudeMerle-zx8mf]

Early Gorguts was more technical

[@PMonster9000]

absolutely beautiful piece of art

[@DenisOakley-nk8wz]

Я вырос на iron maiden и как то минуя thrash metal сразу окунулся в дэзню,этот сырой вязкий звук из 90ых.....прелесть!

[@CaptainFailo]

Wow this is awesome, did not expected this..
I like this much more than the new progressive stuff

[@ronaldmcneely5184]

This would have gone unnoticed in 1992

[@azhardware8369]

Wow, I think these guys have future, I hope their band grow up in the future and become famous, unfortunately I think they will need to change their name, but they will grow bigger than a whale.

[@bigboss3051]

i hope they don't make a few banger albums and then fall off

Can’t believe it took the Olympics to make me listen to these guys. I feel like such a poser haha, but I swear I just never happened to hear em before for some reason, really!

Why the Olympics? Did they perform or something?

In France in the early 2000" first CD's of GOJIRA were sold 3,99€ in "Green Price" in FNAC
Never bought it, because at the era all French Death Metal bands get this horrible clear sound and all dreamt to sound heavy like Suffocation
