In this episode of #thedailydoug, I'm reacting to and listening to music from the French metal band Gojira for the fisrt time. I found their song Amazonia to be a prototype example of the powerful usage of the phrygian modal scale. The riffs are deep and powerful, and so are the events and happenings around this song's creation...as they talk about the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest and the unjust treatment of indigenous peoples in this region.

Thank you so much for featuring them, Doug, I'm a long time fan of yours, and as aways, GREAT work analyzing this! I will recomend you to listen and react to some Sepultura, a metal band formed in my hometown in Brasil, Belo Horizonte, that revolutionized metal in Brasil and got worldwide famous. Once again, thanks for this wonderfull video, and let's save Amazônia!

Joe Duplantier said that the brazilian band, Sepultura, was a huge influence for Gojira and for this track in special. The Roots album's influence can really be seen in Amazonia. Sepultura, specially in the 90s, wasn't a prog band (maybe their newest albums could be called as this), but Blooody Roots is really worth to check out.

Doug has gotten pretty used to Double Kick now. I'm pretty sure him using some quality headphones has made it much more bearable. The ones he was using pre-glass prison reaction were pretty terrible. Plus also he's just more used to it overall listening to metal every monday. If he can get through and even enjoy This Dying Soul and Painkiller, the Gojira stuff should be fine, especially given how tasteful Mario Duplantier is with his use of double kick.

I think you'd have a great time trying to piece together the rhythm for The Art of Dying. Gojira aren't my favourite, but when they work they are an incredibly powerful band. Absolutely gargantuan sound. You won't find a song that sounds as much like it's title as you will with The Heaviest Matter in the Universe. For further Gojira suggestions, I'd recommend the aforementioned The Art of Dying, Born in Winter, or Vacuity

Gojira is in my top 5 favorite bands, they have heavy aggressive songs but the lyrics and message always set them apart. Thank you for reacting to them! The Art of Dying for a rhythmic mystery and deals with mortality Stranded for a more mainstream feel but with some heavy emotions due to the nature of the events happening while writing it Silvera has catchy riffs and deals with ethics of veganism The Heaviest Matter of the Universe for something heavy and if you like astral projection Honestly I could recommend another dozen plus songs from this band lol hope to see more some day!

Gojira is a real treasure, kudoos to the people that suggested them. You can take them only on their phylosophy, they are really trying to make an impact. Just read the lyrics of The art of dying, Vacuity, The heaviest matter of the universe, From the sky, Silvera, Global warming, Oroborus, Pray, Where dragons dwell, Esoteric surgery, Toxic garbage island... Then hear the songs. Listening to Gojira is an experience, every time. I recommend you dig in, you will not be disappointed.

Gojira is one of the best metal band ever thie vibe of the song is an hommage to sepultura , but if you listen more of their past albulms ,they started very OG death metal and became more progressive as they got older ..they are one of the best live band as well ..very respected for how good and tight they sound live ..so good that sometimes people prefer to listen to Gojira live. as it sounds better than the album. some songs you can check out The heaviest matter of the universe Oroborus live 2009 eurockeenne Remembrance the link alive 2003 The art of Dying The axe live brixton Wold down the earth esoteric surgery the way of all flesh live garorock this emptiness The art of Dying Flying whales l'enfant sauvage live brixton academy The gif of guilt live brixton academy

Doug, I have an idea for a video series on film music scores and TV show theme songs, particularly older ones. TV show theme songs are usually short (by necessity), and you could squeeze several into each video. These theme songs and film scores, especially the older ones, were composed and arranged by some of America's greatest music minds and often played with full orchestras. People like Alexander Courage, Percy Faith, Jerry Goldsmith, and of course John Williams. Each week could have a different flavor, for example old westerns one week then sci-fi movies the next. What do you think?

Melodically and harmonically Gojira keep it quite minimal. Usually they are rhythmically very intricate, fast and precise, and then there is that HUGE soundscape that you noticed.

@@yibril17 Absolutely. Meshuggah is even more complex rhythmically and has even less melody since the singer only growls/screams but never "sings". On the other hand Meshuggah have (more) guitar solos. And they also have a massive sound but I wouldn't call it huge.

​@@bernhardkrickl3567 Don't worry, my comment was friendly: by how precise your description of Gojira's music was, I guessed you were reasonable enough to be pointed out about that comparison :) While agreeing, I would just dispute that I find Meshuggah to be more melodic but in an ominous way, whereas Gojira is more ethereal: I think in part because of that amount of "singed" vocals you rightly pointed out, which tends to "blend" with the instrumentation, in a choir-like, wall-of-sound fashion - that's I guess why you say "Gojira's sound feels like it fills a vast valley". Sadly, Gojira is not my cup of tea: they're too "drone-y" for my taste. Although I celebrate the featuring of new music, I wished the likes of Messhuggah and even less known bands like Frenchmen Gorod were featured, and then a bit more known... but that's daydreaming :(

I’d be curious for you to tackle some dissonant technical death metal like Ulcerate, Gorguts, or Ad Nauseum.

Please do a video on Gojira's song - "The Chant" which is based on the genocide of Tibet

I implore you to do some reaction/analysis to the metal band "Between The Buried And Me." I believe someone of your talent and enthusiasm would find it challenging but also rewarding. I'm honestly surprised with so much Dream Theater and Haken on the channel that you haven't done BTBAM yet (or not that I could find anyways). It seems right up your alley (oh, and Mike Portnoy listed the BTBAM album "Colors" as one of his favorite of the year when it came out, and he even played a guest drum solo on their most recent album, so you know they are respected musicians in the community). Any of these songs from their very dense catalog would surely be a good time: "Never Seen / Future Shock" - off of Colors II "Backwards Marathon" - off of Alaska "Extremophile Elite - Live" - off of The Parallax II: Live at the Fiddletorium "Disease, Injury, Madness" - off of The Great Misdirect

While I do agree the music Doug will find the music fascinating, I fear he will get completely distracted by the vocal fry. He has come around to some with Opeth, but I think BTBAM's screams are too mono tone even for me that I have a difficult time getting into them. Trust me. I hav tried.

Wondering when you’d get here. I discovered them with 2021 Fortitude and wonder why I took me so long.

I would love to see a you, a classical composer react and listen to an Anime soundtrack. I recommend "Attack on Titan - Ashes on the Fire". I would love to see your thoughts on this piece and composition. It's epic and grand. Hope you see this comment and give it a chance! Thanks!

Check out Machine Head - A Farewell to Arms. It’s without a doubt one of the best metal songs out there.

I believe Andy Wallace mixed this album, which is probably why the soundscape is so dynamic. Coincidentally, he mixed most of Sepultura’s albums, which is who this song was heavily influenced by.

I did a fairly conservative dive (oxymoron, I know)....into "Yes". The comments were right, the bass player really did drive that band. Off topic, apologies, but, it was because of your channel i did it. I also subscribed. I like your channel, if I had any constructive criticism, I agree with a lot of comments that suggest you turn down your comments (slightly, during the music) and increase (slightly) the music volume. Other than that, cool channel man. Also, out of curiosity, I haven't been able to establish if you, yourself, play any instruments (other than cursory chord structures). Do you? BTW, damn, this song is good. (I, personally, listen from Classical to Rap to Grunge to Metal). I can't do much Country, I've tried, have you? (The ending of that song was ethereal and haunting!).
