My man-crush on Gojira's Joe Duplantier just got even larger. Not only is the man largely responsible for one of the best records of the year, but Duplantier continues to prove himself an all-around good dude, responsible citizen of planet earth and flag-waver of humanity. The man's environmentalist sentiments are pretty well known and have [...]

What exactly constitutes a “machine gun riff”? Rapid chugging? ‘Cause a couple of these just sound like breakdowns to me. Whatever it is, Jeffrey Nordin not only claims to know but claims to have the definitive list of the top 6 such riffs EVARRR. Explains Nordin via email: “Unlike the other myriad attempts at YouTube [...]

Do you know how to say "brutal" in French? Brutal. True story. Six years of French. Suck it, bitches. ANYWAY, The Way of All Flesh may not be the most br00tal album of the year, but it's certainly the most vicious. L'album le plus méchant de l'anée. Hooky but heavy, proggy but not pretentious, and French [...]

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. And what difference does it make, really? It's just a matter of personal taste, and we're all gonna die and be forgotten anyway. So enough with the horseshit. Here's what I spent my year listening to: 1. Gojira - The Way of All Flesh (Prosthetic/Listenable) It [...]

I don't think this needs much of an intro. Gojira's The Way of All Flesh topped Vince's and Kip's and my own top ten of '08 lists and appeared on almost every other MetalSucks contributor's list as well. And the band's new, animated, Jossie Malis directed video, for the "All the Tears," is just awesome. [...]

In case you've missed it, Gojira have been streaming most of their new album The Way of All Flesh on their MySpace page for the past couple of days. I recommend the opening track "Oroborus" (which is oddly listed 11th on the MySpace player) as a suitable introduction to the pandemonium. Not that you could [...]

God bless YouTube and shitty camera phones. Here's some ass-quality, fan-filmed video footage of Gojira performing a new song called "Vacuity" last week at the Rock en France festival. The track is supposedly from their new album The Way of All Flesh which is slated for an October 13th release via Listenable Records. The quality is [...]~~

--- - |- "Vacuity," the new song by Gojira, might be my favorite kind of metal song - something that's got more weight than Kim Kardashian's ass but is as catchy as Paris Hilton's herpes. Like the very best songs by everyone from Metallica to Pantera to Lamb of God, Gojira have written something that never, ever sacrifices [...] ~~- Gojira

If 2008 was the year of Gojira, then 2009 will most certainly be the year every new band looking for some traction starts saying they sound like Gojira. Especially bands from France. Take recent Metal Blade-signees END. (all capitals, followed by a period. not to be confused with The End, the Tool soundalikes from Canada, [...]

The video for "Vacuity," the first single off of Gojira's ball-achingly awesome new album The Way of All Flesh, has been released, and I have to say, I love the image of the woman dragging the giant, heavy box along the road. 'Cause I like to imagine it's full of the music from Gojira's new [...]

I feel bad for anyone who hasn't Gojira live. This band is inhuman. I seriously have no fucking idea how they do what they do. Fuck, we watched them blow In Flames off the stage on Sunday night, and we fucking love In Flames. That's how fucking good Gojira are live. ANYWAY, a few hours before [...]
