SOOOOO STOKED!!! Hoping this will stay unblocked but the one I did on KING CRIMSON where they released the block then re-blocked it so fingers crossed!!!

Gojira donates all the proceeds from this song to an organization that helps different tribes in the Amazon...

Gojira are taking it a step further with Project Amazonia, auctioning gear and collectables in an effort to provide healthcare and support to those who live within and help sustain the Amazonian rainforest. They're easily one of the most vital metal acts today.

«When the last tree is cut down, the last fish is caught and the last river poisoned, only then will we realize that you can't eat money.«, Native american aphorism.

Gojira's main theme throughout their career has been environmental and spiritual consciousness.

The fact they care more about my country than the people residing here speaks volumes. A proper boinger of a song, already one of my all-time favourites by them.

Hell yeah, I knew Gojira would make it right again! Boing boing boing

These guys are legit good human beings. They care deeply about the planet and all sentient life that inhabits it. 🤘🤙✌ (Amazonia!!)

Amazonia!! This song reminds me of what Sepultura (who are from Brazil) did with their 1996 album 'Roots', incorporating indigenous sounds and patterns into multiple songs on that album, as well as calling attention to the plight of indigenous peoples of the Amazon.

Enviromentalism has always been a very consistent theme in Gojira. What's funny for most Gojira fans is that they used to abstractly package their messages like most artist do, but with this single they just straight up tell it to your face that the Amazon is on fire and it's fucked up, let's do something about it

I love that im hearing tribal throat singing more often these days

I can’t get enough of this track and this review.📈⚡️

“There’s fire in the sky You’re in the Amazon The greatest miracle Is burning to the ground” This hits so hard.

Gojira are in a league of their own. They have taken on a lamb of god meets tool genre change and it's messing with everyone but we love it. You can't appreciate the fullness of this song without hearing the whole album and realizing the evolution that is gojira. I am glad to have been alive to witness it.

GOJIRA has said that this track is a tribute of sorts to SEPULTURA. That being said I " believe " that is a berimbau ( the mouth harp sound) Max Cavaler of SEPULTURA ( and SOULFLY, CAVALERA CONSPIRACY, NAILBOMB, KILL OR BE KILLED ) has been known to play one now and again and I believe it is fairly popular in Brazil. Amazonia!! AWWWRIGHT 🤙🤙 Btw , 160 reactions in a handful of months is amazing!!! Thank you !!!

Gojira has lots of songs talking about environmental destruction. One of my favorite among those is "Toxic Garbage Island", about the immense pollution humans cause!

You’re right about Gojira being self produced. The lead singer, Joe Duplantier produced their last 3 albums (including this one), and was with Andy Wallace during the mix session of this album.

"The greatest miracle is burning to the ground." Great song with a great message...Let's hope it stays unblocked!

You asked if any of the band members works with the sound engineering of the records, this is what Joe Duplantier said about their second album on Spotify's Metal Talks in 2016: "We did our second record ourselves. At home. We bought some gear, we took a loan at the bank. [...] We bought a console, Pro Tools, some mics, renovated the garage and created our own studio in France. And we recorded our second album, I remember the first day when we gathered to record, we were reading the manual, how it works, the Pro Tools and how to plug everything, and that's in 2002. We did this album, The Link, struggled a lot to record and to mix, but we did it. So that's why the sound is so weird, some people are like 'oh, it's interesting' but for us it was like, we didnt' really achieve the goal we had in mind" Nowadays, Gojira has their own studio in New York, so they probably work very closely with the engineer. Maybe you should listen to a song from this The Link album to hear how it sounds. I recommend "Remembrance" ;)

If you like the activism then, as a Hawaiian surfer, Toxic Garbage Island might resonate with you. In that case it might be worth while, as an exception ;), to take a look at the lyrics too. I saw someone call Gojira Environmetal. Which is nice.

Gojira has been on point with their videos lately. They are seriously committed to getting our attention on very important issues.

The Amazon is my mother's back yard. This hits close to home, literally. There was no doubt in my mind this project would hit you the same way, a conscious being like yourself. Great reaction as always. I'm glad we got to see it!

now do "The Chant" also by Gojira, that's more soulcrushing IMO (video just released 2 hours ago)

Woohoo glad this is back. Sensible heads prevailed.

I really recommend their song Global Warming, the live studio performance

This is the power of Gojira that we all love. Even without the video the emotion of the music cuts through so beautifully and heads straight for, as you say "center". It's empowering and eye opening. Thank you as always. You're breakdown's really are fantastic! Amazonia!!

"Gojira - The Chant" would be awesone for a video :) great work, thanks for doing this

Amazonia!! Love it as always!

I love Gojira, I love you reacting to them and praising the bassist. Many undermine his talent because it's not as obvious or flashy as the the lead Singer or Drummer. AMAZONIA!!

not sure why no one is watching this reaction..lol but thanks Geebz!.. Gojira is one of my favorite bands.. since theres a good chance you'll see this comment. I recommend Periphery's Garden in the bones! bye Geebz : ) we love you

This song speaks to my soul. It makes me feel like "action" needs to be taken, I always used to listen it for my workouts, seeing the music video is kinda heartbreaking...

Gojira are massively into environmental activism. There’s many songs of theirs which support that. They have a way of writing lyrics which are super poetic, but they’re put with aggressive sounding instruments and it works perfectly. They certainly get their message across

Not only is Gojira raising awareness with this track, they are also raising money for charity by auctioning instruments and other memorabilia from many popular musicians. They are really trying to make a difference, and it's awesome. AMAZONIA!!! Awwwright!

Great vid! This new one is growing on me. Your immediate appreciation for the droning, tribal, throat-singing element of this tune suggests to me that you need to check out their song Art of Dying, as soon as possible. Monstrous, final boss Gojira tune

What a track!! *heart broken* Gojira are THE BEST!

Flexing the string beyond the nut to accentuate the mouth harp is a really nice touch.

This is almost a Sepultura Song from the 90’s. Roots from Sepultura would be a sick song or Rattamahatha.

"The greatest miracle...Is burning to the ground" Geebz, I love your positive energy and I know you don't listen to the lyrics but I know something deep inside heard that clearly through the music regardless. This was an important musical statement by a band that has deep connections to the environment and you absolutely tuned directly into that energy. Thank goodness that this was unblocked and you were able to give your thoughts.

I honestly don't know how to describe this except "powerful". And proof that there is good out there, which is powerful in itself.

AMAZONIA!! Such an epic song glad you got it unblocked - at least long enough for some of us to see it!🤙🏻🤙🏻

I wasn't gonna listen to this song until the album dropped, but can't resist your reactions dude, so fuck it here goes 🤘🤘🤘🤘

The band has mentioned that musically, this song is a tribute to Sepultura

I love watching/listening to you break down the music and pay respects to the musicianship. Its also cool to you sort of "getting into" what you're hearing. There's not much else that tickles a metalheads heart than turning someone onto metal or introducing someone a new song and them liking it.

It's such a great sounding song. I have not listened to this group much (yet), but this one is so impressive

Amazonia!! This track by Gojira clearly reminded me of Sepultura and some recent Alice in Chains productions. So glad to see this environmental matter turning out into a global discussion, but at the same time so sad to see the Amazon jungle burning at unprecedent rates... as a Brazilian who used to visit the Amazon at least twice a year, it's just heartbreaking to see this nature's miracle disappearing in front of our eyes. Problems there are so complex to solve and we really need it to be a global matter. Thanks Gojira!

The paradox of the heartbreaking and unnerving imagery vs the reality that everything from the bands equipment to the electricity used to record it is part and parcel of the mindset that is exploiting the Amazon...there is no easy way to resolve or reconcile...here's to hoping that the efforts of the band have positive results....great song great breakdown of its components....

Great tune! Worthy message. If you liked that try some old school Sepultura- Roots bloody roots- Soulfly - Ritual Nailbomb , Point blank Wonder what you’ll make of Max Cavalera (and his brother)! Aloha🤙🏻

Thank you for getting the message out that the block was lifting! Loving the really heavy breakdown of this track- I'm so stoked for when the album finally drops! Hey, some stoner metal/ sludge metal song recs: Sleep "Marijuanaut's Theme" (Goofy name, I know! Give it a listen you will NOT regret it!) Elder "The Falling Veil" (Highly underappreciated band!) SLIFT "Ummon" (French up-and-comers. Really promising group!)

Joe said this song is an hommage to Sepultura. So, could be interrsting for you to decompose some Sepultura (which is a major metal band), espacially some "roots" song, like roots bloody roots for example.

Before this album was announced I joked to my friend that Gojira’s next song was gonna be called “amazon on burn.”

Amazônia!! Also, I really digged into your perspective about not only the environmental awareness that Gojira brings, but also the "reality and existence" awareness as a whole. As a person who took it further being on psychosis two times in my life, being struggling with the coherence about the relations and structures of all of our History, Culture and Technology as Human Beings, experiences like hearing Gojira, seeing you reaction, reading the comments, people liking it and internalizing the experiences, that / this is transcendental. However, what bothers me the most is that this is like a privilege for most of the people around the world because they are not only struggling to maintain, coercitively, this nocive and toxic structure of socioeconomics but are occupied trying to survive, you know? And this kind of experience has no place in their lives, or is replaced with placebos and religions, which I understand the values too but they serve as a way to drain energy and philosofical thinking aswell, taking advantage over those people's suffering. We really need more true involvement and care with each other and our reality, not embelishment and stuff disguising irresponsibility. Keep it up!

I mean you really can't just watch that and go on with your day! That's their intention and I'm glad that you went with it as much as you did. I'd watch you do a whole thing on musical activism too. Awwwright!

It physically hurts to watch this video because of all the horrible stuff that is happening to our world and the fact that the big corporations who are mainly responsible for this are actually protected by governments. The feeling of being powerless is just overwhelming. It's so saddening and disgusting.

Something about the way you break down songs is refreshing, i could watch your videos all day and never get bored. Thanks for all the great content

Amazonia!! Great breakdown as usual. Appreciate your insights.

This is so on point! Glad the bass player is getting the recognition he deserves.

C'était une belle réaction. Message, images, paroles qui prennent aux tripes. Colère, tristesse. Cocktail émotionnel.

AMAZONIA!! love gojira! be well geebz! and thank you for sharing this! \m/

This track is such a banger

amazonia!! those guys are so nice, they're even raising money for the amazon people

Amazonia!! Love you Geebz!!

Amazonia!! Yep still here. Best one yet for me Geebz.

Early Sepultura vibe at the start. So good.

These guys have always been one of my favorites and knowing the impact they’re making on the world with songs and efforts like this make me so happy! Thanks for doing a breakdown on this one! Amazonia!!

In the outro of the song one thing that I hear and really like is the snare drum, if you listen closely you can hear the drummer alternates from hitting the snare and, I believe, hitting the snare and rim causing a "POP", then a "POP" with a metallic echo, could be done with effects also, but either way it's a little hook at the end of the song for me. Awesome video!

Amazonia!! Great reaction - glad I caught it! These guys just keep getting better and better!

Great rection sir, i love Gojira and i love what they do!!! Amazonia!!

Many bands write and perform for good causes, but it is fairly rare that someone takes it to the level that Gojira has here - they have been and still are in direct contact, working with the tribes, they are divulging and fundraising for the amazon and for the people that need it, they are teaming up with tons of other amazing bands to contribute, riling up the troops, etc. They are not only calling to the listener to make a difference like a lot of bands do, they are leading the charge as individuals. That's why this is so sick. Thank you for working toward getting this unblocked, and congrats on succeeding.

AMAZONIA !! love the track, love the review

There’s fire in the sky You’re in the Amazon The greatest miracle Is burning to the ground! Love this song! Even though it sinks my heart 😥 It does however reaffirm my mission to restore and preserve native prairie & wetlands on the family land I grew up on in south east South Dakota, USA. The American tall grass prairies have been over 99% destroyed and restoring & preserving this tiny 200 acre remnant is merely a speck in something that once spanned over many millions of acres. The fact the Amazon is heading the way of the American prairies is heartbreaking. Also enjoy your breakdown videos, keep it up!

Appreciate the technical advice naught from years of expertise and experience that you share with the community. Thank you

Gojira 4ever! Support them in any way! Also watch Gojira into the storm! awesome!

This master piece is deep and very powerfull.

Great job Geebz. Been away for a while. Lost a close relative of mine and just haven’t been on KZfaq/social media much. Got a lot of catching up to do now. Bring on some Byzantine 🤘🏼

Roots bloody roots!

I adore that you actually have VALUE in your content. Other react videos are generally completely vacant view grabs. Thank you!

Amazonia!! Great band, amazing reactions!

This song is awesome and has some echo of Sepultura's "Roots Bloody roots". Regarding environmental concern song, you should try HArakiri by Serj Tankian (System of a Down's lead singer)

Gojira is truly a wonderful band

its different kind of enjoyment,... honestly... it is crushing.

To what you said about self-engineering: Joe (vocalist) co-owns Silver Cord Studios in New York with Elliott Hoffman (Car Bomb drummer)

Nice!! Their new stuff is next level amazing.

brilliant these are my new favourite band ,diving deep ..thanks Geebz ,love yer videos X your a cool guy!!

'"The Chant" is another really emotional song from Gojira's new album- Fortitude. Would love to see your take on it.

Amazonia!! great dive in and deconstruction.

Amazonia!! Love ya Geebz

Gojira has always been all about the Earth and Nature beside the fact that they are awesome musicians and I love their sound, they are environmentalists to the core and its what we love about them. Metal Art at its finest. this song is FIRE! I cannot wait to receive my limited edition vinyl of this album! love you KOG!

Tribal music mixes very nicely with metal music.

This song gives me the feeling to hear a accusation in musical form. It fits the theme and the lyrics perfectly.

YESSSSS!!! So glad to see some new Gojira material decomposing 🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is just so powerful, from the lyrics, musicianship, and imagery. Just so powerful!

Amazonia!! This one is my favorite by Gojira so far.

Gojira is amazing; and the Amazonia project is something worth looking into and donating to, for anyone who has the means right now.

Amazonia!!💪💪Gojira is incredible

Amazonia!! Glad I watched this, for myriad reasons!

I've been watching you since you first started brother. Keep the cool as shit videos and commentary coming!

Very clever that the chorus we remember is "the greatest miracle, is burning to the ground". Very hard and sad to forget every time you listen that the Amazon dies more every day. Very smart activism through music and subliminal messages.

Hey it's UP! AWWRIGHT

Just woke up and saw this!! What a way to start the day!! That's 2 Gojira tracks this week! Thanks Geebz!!!!

Man, I really fucking appreciate you doing this video and voicing your thoughts on the subject matter as well as the music.
