I think that Gojira found the pick of destiny and never lost it.

Joe and Mario Duplantier's mom passed away after a year-long battle fighting cancer, during the recording of Magma. Their loss inspired the spiritual direction that Gojira take on the album and is even reflected in its title track "Magma". "Magma actually refers to the lava when it is still in a volcano, it's the blood of the Earth at the point where it is boiling and ready to explode," Joe Duplantier explained to The Independent. "We put the sun on the cover to symbolically represent the big bang, the source of life. Not only that, but if you remove the 'g' from Magma it spells Mama and we see the 'g' as a representation of Gojira."

Rest In Power Mama Duplantier. Thank you for giving us Joe and Mario.

"You are now, high" Damn Gojira you right

I'm alive at the same time as Gojira. I am so lucky.

damn straight this album is called magma, cause it's so damn fucking FIRE!

This is a creeper album. The kind that creeps up on you after you listen to it a few times. After it fully blossoms within you, it will forever be one of your favorites. These kinds are the best......

Lyrics for this masterpiece: Analyze this chemistry Producing poison And creeping in your veins For the love of blood The poison slowly spreads Through the body and the mind Close your eyes and drop your things Be ready to fly You are now, high In the sun, burn You're away, alive On the moon, round After walking all the miles Consumed into your bones And breathing all the dust Of the desert land I know that all along You were doing it for absolution It's written in your eyes You are now, high In the sun, burn You're away, alive On the moon, round Away Just want to fly away, always higher Away Embrace the light on the other side __________________________________ I just copied and pasted from Google, but there it is. At least you can sing while listening without going anywhere and search for the lyrics. (Edit) I know the lyrics are understandable, but no one has ever wrote a comment with the lyrics here since 2016

3:31-4:10, legendary.

I'm slowly turning to Magma after the 5th consecutive listening. How brilliant is this shit? I haven't been so struck by music since I found out about Death.

Good God, Gojira has done it again. This album is PHENOMENAL.

0:42 I love how the pinch harmonic sounds in the background and prepares you when the riff starts loudly at 0:46

Everyybody talking about solo or riffs, it's the chorus that makes this song so good to me

Analyze this chemistry Producing poison And creeping in your veins For the love of blood The poison slowly spreads Through the body and the mind Close your eyes and drop your things Be ready to fly You are now, high In the sun, burn You're away, alive On the moon, round After walking all the miles Consumed into your bones And breathing all the dust Of the desert land I know that all along You were doing it for absolution It's written in your eyes You are now, high In the sun, burn You're away, alive On the moon, round Away Just want to fly away, always higher Away Embrace the light on the other side

This song makes me appreciate my mother even more. She went through hell to raise me and my brother. I'm forever grateful to her for allowing us to pursue music.

This whole album just sound like the world is coming to its end and in that atmosphere it just makes this album a fucking masterpiece

Gojira is definitely moving in a more melodic direction with this album. That sound they got in the intro to Esoteric Surgery and The Axe and other songs (where the guitar picks really fast in sync with the double bass) wasn't in this album, and that is one my favorite things they did musically, but I can't complain really. This album kicks ass in its own way and like I said, it's definitely more melodic and emotional. They also experimented and used a lot more clean vocals in this album, but I like it. GOJIRA!!!

Blows my mind that the intro to this song is the same intro they've been playing to songs like Oroborus at concerts for *years.* It's like we finally get to hear the full song that's been hidden away after all this time. Awesome.

So this was my first Gojira album. I knew nothing about the band before purchasing this on a recommendation and playing it. AND NOW I WANT MORE

*Sorry about the dislikes those are my neighbors*

The next Gojira album will be the biggest thing ever in metal history. You heard it here first

i just cant stop fuckin smiling

I've seen Gojira around, here and there, but never really picked em up. Finally, after hearing "Stranded", I picked up this album and... man... what totally weird vibe (In a good way) Going from some hard crunching lines from Stranded to this... which sounds like im being whisked away on clouds, in a extremely trippy lucid dream. I saw on another video where Gojira was compared to a fine red wine; its weird at first but after a while, it becomes tasty and something looked forward to. I can attest to that.

The riff at 03:32 is one of the best things i have ever heard. Damn

This is the most beautiful song on this amazing album. That riff, especially toward the end sounds so anguished. So much feeling behind it.

MAgMA is the real title for me.

This album is fucking awesome. it got me into Gojira I live under a rock and totally missed these guys.

Probably the most underrated metal band in the entire universe. For me, it's Gojira and then everyone else. Their composition and sound is unmatched.

3:25 building up to the riif is just perfection

Those harmonics are beautiful

my fav metal band by far

This song has clear king crimson/tool influence and i love it.

How the hell can someone say that this song isn't powerfull or awesome. Your rocks Gojira.

It's one of the saddest songs I ever heard. Listen to the chorus. You can clearly understand that the song is inspired by the death of their mother.

This shit's hotter than magma

those harmonics are beautiful

This is the most underrated Gojira song ever.

holy shit one of the few music comment sections that hasn't been nuked by KZfaq's new fucking idea to remove the comments section of every music video, a literal miracle. Fuck you KZfaq.

Thank you, Gojira.

I have always liked Gojira, but this album has struck a cord with me...absolutely LOVE IT! I can't stop listening to it.

One the riffs has been used as an intro to Oroborus during 2014 tour

I keep getting back to this song. It is so powerful I can't even explain it.

One of the most beautiful songs ever!!!!

Wish they played this live too

now that's a song that is never gonna be played live

Mom passed January 26th 2020... I picked up gojira back in 2014 from one of her boyfriends lol.... Been listening to them since. This album carried me through the worst and saddest days of my life. Specifically this song, after my mom passed there were many long night cruises listeng to this entire album and this song specifically. I will say that when you're going through something like that this Band will send you through emotional turmoil in a good way.... I've cried my eyes out to this song and also felt like I was in top of the world when listening to it. I appreciate gojira so much I can't even explain and I can't wait to see what the future holds for them. ❤️🤘👁️

the first time i heard this álbum It was a Big meh... but right now im totally in love with it

used to hate this song, now I can't stop listening to it, I don't know why but I just love that guitar solo

The bass on this song is just mint

This song is a fucking masterpiece. It's like Metallica, Opeth, and Dream Theater had a baby.

god that melody, the crys the guitar makes...I instantly fell in love as soon as I heard this. Recently just got into gojira this week, gotta check out their other stuff

Saw this live. Fantastic show and visuals!

huge smile on my face throughout. you guys make everything OK.

I was looking for some high quality musicianship, that you'd expect from grindcore, when I came across Mastadon talking about these guys. Definitely not grind but these guys are phenomenal musicians, they are mind blowing good. Heavy riffs, well orchestrated dynamics and technique, they fill that hole in my soul where a personality should be.

awesome... real happy with new album

Absolutely love Magma! Thanks guys!! Can't wait to see you live sometime soon hopefully!

One of the greatest of our time.

I really wish i discoverd them sooner.

That riff at 3:28, so damn catchy and delicious

I'm in love with the subtle tambourine throughout the song, I cannot be the only one to notice it, it does add some melancholy to it, somehow

Every gojira album,,, doesn't it make you travel in a world

I'm not gonna listen to this until tomorrow when I BUY the album haha

This song is un-ironically a spiritual experience.

The chorus in this song is one of the most beautiful, most epic things I've heard. Got it set as my ringtone 🤘🤘

Fun fact: The solo is made of only One Note

i'm telling you guys....this album is awesome...(i even found liberation good to listen to before going to sleep) and that riff at 3:32 just fuckinnnggg delicious...!!!!

I actually have butterflies in my stomach I am so excited for new Gojira

Merci Gojira, ça fait du bien d'entendre un nouveau morceau pendant que je passe le bac!!!!

Gojira is always gonna have a corner of my heart.

These pinch harmonics are stuck in my head for weeks now. Thanks Gojira..

All throughout my musical journey, as I went from 90's and 2000's nu metal to modern underground folk punk, Gojira have been a constant love.

2:04 Gojiradon

That chorus... that damned chorus...

There's something about this band and their sound that is so refined.........it's almost as though they've been around for a hundred years to create this music.

3:30 I think I've never headbanged this hard in my entire life

from 3:30 to 4:05 a little bit too heavier and it could destroy the entire fucking world

holy shit this is the type of sound, and band ive been looking for

3:46 Fuck, that's heavy "Embrace the light on the other side" *tears running down my eyes* fuck, that's heavy

Is there a better song to honor your mother who passed away? No in my opinion...Keep on rocking Gojira and respect men

Not nearly enough people have heard this complete masterpiece. I hope to help with that situation.

They play this on the radio sometimes it's cool

one of your most inventive songs...so creative...!! so looking forward to the next album....!! I'll be buying vinyl if it's available...

Masterpiece 🤘🏽🔥

This song is just crazy. I fkin love Gojira... Amazing album!

the first time: mmmm...not a very good one now: This is just so addicting, can't survive a day without listening to this song MERCI BEACOUP GOJIRA

This band changed me and saved my life... Love these guys 🖤❤️🖤

i simply searched magma to find some magma/volcano videos and saw this. this is fate. thank you, whatever force that helped me discover this

Just discovered these guys a few minutes ago, consider me a new fan!

did no one else ever notice that this is basically the theme song from how it’s made slowed down?

PERFECT!!! So melodic - all of it. This album is incredible in its entirety. Gojira never fails to impress. GNAR.

Those harmonics are everything, first time when I hear so many different harmonics on one note

This song needs over 10mil views. Pure euphoria ❤

From 600k to 1.2 million views in a few months? Magma is getting its recognition finally!

this song is just so perfect

That ghost notes are the best part. Mario is a genius!

Came to listen because of Ronnie 🖤🖤🖤 and I like IT

Primero no me gustaba, ahora no puedo dejar de escucharlo. Simplemente hermoso.

I discovered Gojira live because they opened a Metallica concert. Now it’s one of my favourite bands.

So créative,so mature, and that tone... Seriously this is Pink Floyd legendariness level.

dobre!!!
