Gojira tease 'emotional' album

2016-03-30 by shem | 57 Comments
French metallers Gojira have released a short teaser of their as yet untitled LP scheduled to be released this summer.

The upcoming album is said to mark a change from the usual barrage of crushing riffs and kick drum that Gojira are known for. Instead, it will be a more "emotional" album written and recorded during the passing of the Duplantier brothers' mother. Also cited in creating the more "emotional" tone of the forthcoming album is the transition of each Duplantiers into fatherhood since the release of 2012's L'Enfant Sauvage.

About five albums with the same sound is about as many as you can get away with (unless you are Motorhead), and I think they understand this. That or the passing of Joe and Mario's mother had a strong influence for the better. Death Metal purists will probably hate this, but more open minded prog metal fans will probably love it.

Holy shit this teaser sounds incredible. Super psychedelic and super proggy while also sounding lush and heavy. Could be a contender for metal AOTY.

I'm so excited for this. Deftones, Katatonia and a more experimental Gojira makes for a good year alone!

Not liking the teaser at all, doesn't make me feel anything. Then again I've never liked Gojira.

You think all Gojira is pretentious and boring? Check 'The Heaviest Matter In The Universe' and other than an admittedly pretentious name you'll find nothing boring or pretentious!

Sounds intriguing, but there's not enough substance for me to really go on here.

Could be cool, could suck. Not sure why everyone is losing their shit.

If you call things you don't like "pretentious" then I think you're just as bad as the things you claim not to like.

Not sure about it, it is not really similar to any of those.
It'a very atmospheric post metal which can be compared to Isis for example.

And their new album is with a guest singer who has a very particular voice, so this is different anyway.

Just give it a try:

the mellow stuff from their albums has always been good, so a total mellow album should feasibly also be good.

Band definitely needed a new direction; their old stuff is great, but is a little predictable at this point. I think this has a lot of potential.

Dude you called Gojira pretentious and boring whilst (5ing GY!BE) and ignored every response to you and now you're claiming there's a circle jerk going on and doing fake quotes that nobody said... Why?

I'm just stirring shit because people felt compelled to respond to me, don't take anything of it. I voiced my opinion, and people got up in arms about it. To each their own.

"What album should I start with if I want to get into Gojira?"
I started with From Mars to Sirius. I would probably start there as it's a very standout and phenomenal metal album.

Gojira are one of those bands that have always hinted at having some talent in making more melodic and more subdued music but they've only ever teased at it. They made this apparent on a handful of tracks throughout their discography like World to Come and Born In Winter to pick a few. These tracks have always been standouts to me, and something I've wanted to hear more of from them and I am really excited to see that we might get just that on their next record.
