Жыл бұрынSkullz reacts to The Art of Dying by Gojira for the first time
Gojira is a French heavy metal band from Ondres. Founded as Godzilla in 1996, the band's lineup-brothers Joe (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Mario Duplantier (drums), Christian Andreu (lead guitar), and Jean-Michel Labadie (bass)-has been the same since the band changed its name to Gojira in 2001. Gojira has been known for their progressive and technical death metal styles and their spiritual and environmentally-themed lyrics. The band has gone "from the utmost obscurity during the first half of their career to widespread global recognition in the second".[1]

I wonder how my experience would be with Gojira if this was the first song I heard, lol... Oh well he's in it now, lol... These guys are heavy as hell the earlier you go in their discography, however they are also introspective with their lyrics. Try Flying Whales, Oroborus and Silvera.. That is the lighter version. THEN bounce about at will. A very good band to view live as well once you find out what their main sound is. If you go for live reviews try Pray- Live at Red Rocks and The Gift Of Guilt....you will then understand.

To me, there is absolutely no band like Tool, but I've seen a few people mention Karnivool and at least one person mention Rishloo and I have to jump on both of thosr trains. Both of those bands helped me get through a good bit of the 13 year wait between the last two Tool albums. Both bands are rhythmically complex with clean vocals (and killer vocals, at that). Both are definitely worth checking out!
@mariovrandecic5690 Жыл бұрын
Also the band you would like, if you like Tool, is Rishloo. They are so very underrated, but they produced 4 brilliant albums, have a beast vocal singer, and there are just not enough reactions to them. Try theirs 'Just a ride' or 'Diamond eyes' or... any song, they're that good.

Danny will always be my GOAT on drums, but Mario Duplantier is definitely playing in the same league. Other tracks I'd recommend: Amazonia, to hear them double down on that tribal sound. Born in Winter for a slower, more groovy sound. Silvera for just an overall banger with great melody. Honestly, anything from the last 4 or 5 albums are pretty much "can't miss". I'd love to hear your take on their lyrics, because while some are obvious, others are quite opaque and open to interpretation.

There are probably 50 Gojira songs that are worthy of reacting to. If you'd like to hear Mario's drumming at its best, and to a song that is highly regarded by both the band and the fans, check out Backbone Also. There is one drummer that I do consider to be better than Mario. His name is Thomas Haake of Meshuggah, who is also a deep rabbit hole Clockworks:. Thomas Haake drum playthrough They are probably the two bands that I am listening to the most right now.

Can't believe I'm not seeing anyone say this, but the lyrical interpretation for me is this guy is dying, he is on the verge of death/already death. This absolute visceral feeling of being conscious and not being able to move a single muscle, life slipping away from you. Breathing slow, mechanical heartbeat, purely running on reflex. And the line that absolutely seals it. "I try to keep my eyes open and I realise, I haven't closed my eyes in a long time" Essentially he's trying to open his eyes because he can't see but then realises that his eyes are open, they just don't grant him sight.

Skullz! Hello. I just wanted to recommend a band for you to check out, either for your own pleasure, or for reactions, if you deem necessary. The band is called Floater, and they're a progressive rock band that hails from Eugene Oregon, originally. They describe themselves as being a Pink Floyd-ish sounding progressive rock band. (That sometimes gets heavy.) There's definitely some overlap with Tool, but it's subtle. These guys are in no way metal, so I'll just throw that out there. A good album to start with might be "Angels in the Flesh, Devils in the Bone." One of the coolest things about them, is they are a three-piece. The lead singer, Rob, plays bass incredibly well (better than most), and it's just insane the soundscapes that these three people can produce. I've been along for the whole Tool journey, and I just have a feeling that you might like them. Be well, and take care!
