Gojira - Esoteric Surgery (REACTION!) 

twice

Been jamming this album since it came out and I can honestly say I do the same every time.

wanted to write this, comment need a pin :)

It's esoteric surgery (acoustic) played backwards!!

@@WishMount and it's used in the outro of Art of Dying as well

It’s just a simpler clean guitar version of the intro riff of Esoteric Surgery. It also appears on the end of The Art Of Dying

how do u even say vacuity cause i still find it hard

What's that other banf called?

Wow impressive 🤔😮

Yeah man, going on 2-3 years now

@@zacharykim295 almost 4 now, I remember their firsts reactions in 2017

Agreed! They are great, fun, and bad-ass. 😎💯

Lol I remember when they posted the Enter Sandman reaction and it was their “experiment into heavy metal” 🤣 been subscribed and loving it ever since🤘🔥

Their war pigs reaction back in 2017 was the first video I have watched from them. Since then I was hooked!

Vacuity is my shit

@@spenceryelinek4313 Ditto!

All bangers

Vacuity is the song that got me into Gojira.

It could be argued that The Art of Dying is their best song.

Just so you know.. I’m in about four years deep and I still feel that way.. listen to them every day, and discover something new almost every time. Enjoy the deep dive.

You are in for a really good ride my friend!

Same here. Just like they say, just when you think the song can get any nasty, it goes nastier, that shit and the groove blowed me away. Coming from groove metal, I needed something fresh but heavy and groovy at the same time. Gojira had it all.

Good to hear my friend! I've been going deep on Gojira recently as well. I listened to The Link years back and some other random songs over the years, just casually. Not really a fan of the "death metal" stereotype or other bands that are often categorized that way, but after discovering Magma I couldn't deny or avoid their unique mastery and am an eternal fan now. I personally kind of approach their style as a "picking up the torch" from Pantera and infusing it with a bit more depth, thoughtfulness and melodically driven progress but all the nastiness and cathartic powerful anger that great "metal" deserves. In my honest opinion. So excited to see them next spring with Deftones!

Welcome! I call this band life metal with a death metal sound. They are technical and groove in the heaviest way. Thoughtful lyrics and full band effort every album.

By the way, it's the main riff of Esoteric Surgery reversed

Isn't it played at the end of every song on the album?

@@georgewootten4428 just in the art of dying and esoteric surgery, I believe

@@TheAskald I just checked, it's on Oroboros, Art of Dying, Esoteric Surgery, and there's something similar to it on Wolf Down The Earth

@@georgewootten4428 yeah Oroborus and Wolf Down The Earth have light outros as well, just not the esoteric surgery riff

It's pure masterpiece spreading a feelong wich is not possible to explain. Like standing on a fucking mountain, wind blowing and a huge army marching behind... WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

They were disgusting at Louder Than Life last weekend. Man, they always put on a good show.

They put on amazing shows. One of the few metal shows I've ever been to where I was torn between fucking shit up in the pit and watching the absolutely psychotic light show. Their stage presence is fantastic too.

Whole album is so good

Whenever I listen to Vacuity I get this visual of a bunch of Vikings rowing their balls off through a storm.

Vacuity was the first Gojira song I ever heard, have been hooked ever sense.

I second that. It has all the elements the guys love

Vacuity is my hype song for interviews.

OMG WE NEED IT

@@Kai_O_Cad at 3:05 they added the note that they've heard Toxic Garbage Island before and thus can't do a reaction video

And the ending of Backbone

Plaaastic bag in the sea 🌊

I think lots of gojira fans subbed for that, their reviews are some of the few that have genuine feeling. Also they've made a lot of people into gojira fans from their reviews.

My favourite song on the album. I’ve listened to it 316 times so far 🙃

Gotta love the end of ‘Grind’ though. Beautiful outtro.

Unfortunately, the record label keeps taking down reactions to anything Fortitude. A handful of RU-vidrs contested it and won, but that's rare.

the best imo followed by "from mars..." and then "l'enfant sauvage".

@@gluonpa6878 I agree

The link is where it’s at

@@Cheddar_96 yes sir it is

@@Cheddar_96 based

They just did

Took em a year but I knew they'd love it

my favorite of theirs. The lyrics are really good, too!

Beginning kind of reminds me of the power of I and I by shadows fall

IIRC “Global warming” is on that list as well. I can’t imagine doing that tapping for several minutes straight, mid-show.

​@@mtgguiltfeeder4111 they did the Global warming live studio video for that reason, people wanted it live and they explained how hard it was to do it

@@mtgguiltfeeder4111 I'm pretty sure they said they won't play Global warming live because it's a pretty sad song, and that's not precisely the vibes they want to put out in their shows.

@@Andre232323232332323 it’s like ~ 7minutes of straight tapping. Sad or not, it’s a tough song to pull off timing-wise and I’m sure it’s exhausting as hell.

Pretty sure they haven't done Wolf Down the Earth live either, which sucks (it's their best song imo).

Mario is the back'fuckin'bone!

same like chris adler as well, i miss Lamb of God with him.

New found too bro. Hold on too

The Way of All Flesh, the title track to this album, is an amazing track a lot of people seem to overlook too.

And don’t forget Wolf Down the Earth, another brutal track on the album

Vacuity kicks ass. its so different from their other songs. Just a long droning heavy, dark sound.

To me, as a french fan, this song is a pure masterpiece. Never found a bigger banger than that. Make me mad each time i listen to it

Don't forget Space Time!!

@@proletariatbourgeoisie9929 Spacetime is still in my top 3 Gojira songs to this day. I'd love to know what they would think of it.

I'm the opposite. I'd rather them just keep doing old bangers.

I detest the new album because it makes me sad that they lost their spark.

Yes, this👍🏻👍🏻

Agreed!!!

It’s the album that sealed the deal for me. That being the deal that they were here to stay. In my ears and head for life, they are here to stay.

I requested on IG. I really hope they give them a chance. I think the name scared them off.

Same!

This turned me onto them, but man... L'Enfante Sauvage is killer

'Course. Always back to Esoteric surgery. Still amazing
