HEAVY HEAVY 🎵 Gojira The Heaviest Matter of the Universe Reaction 

Lex was spot on about the shoulder movement thing. I’ve found that some metal songs have the ability to take control of your body and you just end up moving your entire upper half without meaning too. I love when I get THAT into a song.

This song is a musical masterpiece.

Gojira really rules! For me as someone that's been listening to metal for more then 30 years and was kind of stuck in older bands Gojira was the real next evolution of metal. You can hear their foundation lies in older metal like Metallica and Sepultura but they have their own sound, one of the best drummers around and the most brutal innovating guitar riffs. Toobad for Lex they dont do real blitzing guitarsolo's but more then make up for in breakdowns and transitions in their complex music. Love them, please do more.

Brad: “Do you guys know what this song is about?” Closing music: “I don’t knooooow...”

Devin Townsends KINGDOM on EMG studios!!!

“Here in the center stands the light of love that never shall be touched..” Love. The Heaviest Matter of the Universe.

The most appropriate name for a song that was ever created. That riff could crack an entire planet in half. A brilliant masterpiece, along with Flying Whales.

The Art of Dying. Gojira has a lot of deep meaning in their words and you will enjoy the message.

This is one of the greatest concept albums ever created. Brad hit it right on the nose. This albums concept is mostly, about the bands drug induced astral travel. Flying Whales should be up next,in your Gojira reactions.

5:51 she's describing that adrenaline rush Gojira's music brings, that feeling of mighty love and power, Joe's righteous anger towards the vacuity of this world. Powerful musicians can do powerful things, especially if you can dream of it. Every riff has an emotion Joe tries to capture, he's such an amazing musician and in my opinion one of the greatest front man of all time.

This was the first time I saw Lex doing what I call "vibrating headbanging." That's when the beat is so fast that you find yourself shaking your head back and forth really fast as you're simultaneously headbanging up and down at a slightly slower speed. Please don't ask for a better explanation. That's the best way I can explain it lol.

Flying Whales by Gojira should be next! It starts off slow and builds to a beautiful crescendo

"I don't think it's death". Hell yea it is. it's all about black star. Ergo the heaviest matter. I love the song and I love the reaction.

the breakdown at 4:20 is literally the heaviest matter of the universe....earth shattering how heavy that riff is

Gojira guift of guilt live at brixton academy

Gojira is, or was, super drum heavy. And it's because Mario is no joke on the sticks. One of the best drummers in metal, easily.

I love that Lex is just feelin it. I couldn't tell you the lyrics to most of the songs that hit me the hardest but they make me want to move and just make this visceral connection that can't be explained.

Gojira is an amazing band. They actually have fliers and stuff in their merch tables when they tour to teach people about saving the planet. They are all about saving the earth and looking inside to solve the worlds problems. I actually got to hang out with them back stage before and they were super cool, all of them dont even smoke weed, they are clean and vegetarian taking good care of their mind body and soul.

Flying whales next

Where Dragons Dwell is my favorite Gojira song

pro tip, the beat, or "pulse" never change, they just play around it. Once you learn to catch the pulse even tho they play around it, that's whn you learn to appreciate the "abruptness"

Beautiful songs by this band 4 times and I'll keep seeing them

Oh yeah, dive deeper into Gojira!!!

As a teenager I used to have extreme episodes of sleep paralysis & night terrors. Sometimes I saw evil black human shadows/shapes moving around. A couple of times I heard an electric crackling noise that escalated in volume to the point were electric spheres appeared out of nowhere and "exploded" with a loud electric bang. I also felt the presence of super dark & evil spirits sometimes. One time a spirit flew in circles by the celling, going faster and faster until it flew right through my chest. I was always pressed down my bed so I couldn´t move or scream no matter how hard I tried. No wonder I was a mess as a teenager =)

Time and signature changes without disrupting the flow of the song. Thought provoking and poignant lyrics delivered with ferocity. The genius of Gojira. I'm in my 50's and have been listening to these guys ever since they debuted as Godzilla. Here's some suggestions: Lizard Skin, Born in Winter, L'Enfant Sauvage, Toxic Garbage Island (Live), and the greatest love song ever composed, simply titled, Love. Make sure you have a bowl next to you in order to collect your melting brain.

Not a very popular song but I love "A Sight to behold" by Gojira

Yesss we need more of this awesome band. Flying whales or backbone for the next reaction 🤘

When Gojira step foot on a festival - they take over it! Whatever you like you can listen from them, they are very technical, the drummer is a living legend. "The gift of guilt", "The Cell", "Where dragons dwell","Pray","Toxic garbage island", "Amazonia" pretty much every song of theirs is art.

Found Gojira eh? Well it won't be long before you discover Opeth and then truly you will never be the same.

Well listening to Lex explain how life is like sleep paralysis made me want to subscribe. She seems to have a damn good perspective on shit.

it took me 20 years to go from 90s alternative rock to extreme metal, these guys did it in a couple of months....

Gojira is 🔥. Mario holding down the sickest rhythms out there. Pls do 'pray' from their 2017 red rocks show!

Can't wait to see if Lex can take the beginning of "Flying Whales". "Stripped" is also another good one, hell most of their stuff is great.

first time hearing Gojira with u guys.soooooooo heavy

Nice insight Brad. Loved the dance analysis, Lex. My wife, who is a beautiful strong black woman with almost as much rhythm as me, explained why she can listen to artists like Gojira, Velvet Acid Christ, Skinny Puppy, Ministry and the like, and dance to it. It's not always about finding a proper rhythm or song structure, but more about finding your personal groove and feel and interpretation. She is a lot smarter than me.... Loved the reaction from both of you. Peace!

You HAVE to check out Down - Bury me in smoke live at download 2009. Singer is Phil from Pantera, Rex is on bass as well. Heaviest, grooviest riff ever!

Y’all always want Flying Whales, I want The Art of Dying!!!!

Still voting for "Vacuity"... One of my fav Gojira songs.

I'm so glad you're moving on to some "heavier" metal... and I love seeing you Lex loving and understanding it and also love your confusion Brad and how you're analysing it all. It's beautiful! If I may recommend some bands/songs you definitely should do in the future... I can with all of my hearth recommend the bands -Opeth(Swedish): Ghost of Perdition. Master's Apprentice, The Grand Conjuring, Drapery Falls (they have a long and wast list of songs and most of them are masterpieces! The genre they are playing(in the older days) would be progressive death metal) I'm sure you both would love them! Meshuggah(Swedish): Bleed, Clockworks and one of my favourite songs I Am Colossus. The genre is a sub-genre of death metal called Djent. Brad, you would be very confused by it, and when you think you have the beat... think again. And Lex i think you will get it and feel it. But it can be a very hard listening the first time(especially with Bleed and Clockworks) but it's a trip and I love it! If you're feeling to go down the rabbit hole of metal, I'll recommend some other bands here that's very dear to my hearth... First is Baest((Danish)"classic" death metal) maybe try the song Gula. If you wanna try some Doom metal I can definitely recommend Hamferd(Feroese): Frosthvarv and Stygd. It's very slow and very beautiful. The lead singer has an amazing range and beauti in his voice! If you wanna do my own favorite genre(Black Metal) I'll recommend some older Dimmu Borgir(Norwegian), I started with the song Puritainia so I recommend that for you aswell... and one of my favorite bands right now is Sunken((Danish)Atmospheric Black Metal) do Departure, its beautiful! Love seeing you guys experiencing the music I love so deeply and seeing you actually taking it serious and sometimes even liking it! Lex, I think you're definitely ready for all the above! Brad, I'm not sure you will like it, but it will definitely take you on a trip and give you some good and deep lyrics to analyse 😉 You're both great, love your content.

astral projection, you are good with picking up the meaning of these songs

Well, about that shoulder thing... It's great you experienced it. I feel like it's usually why metalheads headbang :) You just get into the song and merge with the rythm and the energy, it carries you and you go with it. Gojira is a pretty good band to experience that, some of their songs are really heavy and you can get easily carried away and lost in the beat ; Backbone from the same album comes to mind, I always felt this song a lot. Anyway, great reaction !

Yesss!!! Flying whales next! Let's go! 🤘🏽👏🏽

That was way to much for them. Baby steps!!! Gojira best metal band doing it right now.

Lex was possessed by the music 😆

If you haven't done it already, you've gotta see this song live. Duuuuuuuude.

I just recently discovered this band and now have their albums on repeat lol.. "stranded" is my favorite by them

Just when u think Lex can't get anymore beautiful shes starts grooving to Death Metal.

Gojira definitely hits differently!

Gojira magma or stranded next. The harmonics are incredible

Yesss I could not wait to see you do another Gojira song!! Loved it

HELL YEAH, I was so hoping you would react to this by Gojira next... Absolute masterpiece..... 🤘🤘🤘🤘.. Please react to Flying Whales by Gojira next.... 👍👍🤘🤘

Yes! Love this heavier metal! You should check out "Mastodon - Oblivion (official video)" . It's heavy with clean, beautiful vocals. You'll love it!

For a whole different vibe of gojira try the chant the film clip to it is a must

I’m 53, and Gojira is easily my favorite band to date, just amazing at every level, every album, every song, pure gold. I also recommend After the Burial, Impending Doom, Becoming the Archetype, too many bands to name

It's too bad they have to pause these videos, I would love to see to see Lex totally lose control.

That moment when you feel the pit is calling you.

"It's a collaboration" 😄😄🥰

Hyped for more Gojira reactions! They're so good!

Embrace The World Live at The Link Alive (must be the live version, the instensity, energy, it’s s o good)

Love the review. Seeing Gojira September 24 at Louder Than Life. Love this band

Headbanging is a science 😂 seems simple but there are levels

Scientific masterpiece She is right.

Tuuuuuuune....🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 Best band on the planet right now..🤘😎

Listen to “the art of dying” by Gojira

You should try The Art of Dying from Gojira, so good!

I have never got a chubby so fast untill i saw what you were gunna be reacting to. YeSSS, HEAVY!!!!

Just subcribed. Love this song. You guys are great, only recently discovered your channel. Love the balance between your analytical mind, really trying to find the meaning/emotion in the songs, and Lex's enthusiasm is contagious. I'm looking forward to the time you get to a song where you want to rock out. Just for fun, with a good uplifting beat, Cuddly Toy by Rochford is great. It's probably more poppy but has guitars so Lex may like it. This guy needs to get more love.

If it wasn't for pausing so much Lex would just totally lose control and the music would possess her 😂 Flying Whales is a must 🤘😎🤘

I get what Lex is saying the music drives you to move in certain ways especially if you just accept it. The lyrics actually remind me of the book Starmaker by Olaf Stapledon in which the narrator leaves his body and travels the universe making contact with other civilisations and eventually the Starmaker (god) though the song doesn't go that far into the story. Awesome song and you 2 are becoming my favourite reactors with Lex's feel for the music Brad's lyric analysis it's always entertaining

Simply must get Lex in a Gojira pit.

finally yeahh you have more to do silvera,stranded,magma,l'enfant sauvage,explosia ect thank you guys love to follow you

I always thought the middle part of this song (4:18 on the video) is taken directly from the Morbid Angel playbook. I wonder how much of an influence they were on Gojira.

MORE GOJIRA IS REQUIRED!!!

You two are hitting on all 8 cylinders !!! I hardly ever see anybody react to GOJIRA. This band gets me soooo pumped. I can’t drive my car while playing them . Oh a side note , GOJIRA, means Godzilla in Japanese. ✌️

Love. Nothing is heavier.

Explosia 🤘🏻🔥🔥🤘🏻

This whole album is perfection.

Once I have sleep paralysis. Worst thing ever. Keep doing more Gojira songs. One of the best bands right now

Embrace the jolt. Great commentary.

Awesome reaction! She gets it

Yes!! More Gojira!! Also please react to some Killswitch Engage, Trivium, Parkway Drive, and Spiritbox!!!!!

Lex is scarily on point with the lyrics, she did this before (think one of them was "drugs" in master of puppets), because this song is about depression. I believe I've heard them say that in an interview, but don't quote me on that

Great reaction, silvera and stranded should be the next one really cool songs. I think you'll enjoy them

Nice reaction! Stranded video next! Lex found the beat! Yeah, it's a kind of an odd timing to the song. Not a straight banger... It's like an odd shoulder movement.

Yall really want to go down the death metal rabbit hole. Yall should do funeral inception by suffocation. Then gradually do more straight up dm joints like hate eternal, old school morbid angel etc.

Meditation is my guess too, Brad! Love u guys.

Yeah, Flying Whales is one to try next, but Where Dragons Dwell is one of my all-time top Gojira songs - both off this same album.

Both Egyptians and native Americans believed when you died your soul must leap into Orion, or the hand, to begin your afterlife journey thru space, ultimately ending in the center of our specific galaxy which does contain a black hole, as our scientists have only recently discovered. The ancients seem to have discovered this sacred knowledge thru psychedelic use (prepping the soul for death). That's what I think of when I listen to this song.

"It's a collaboration"...Gold!

Spot on about this song being about sleep paralysis. Joe experienced this prior to learning how to release and astral project. The song Flying Whales is about what happens once he is out of the body and on the Astral Plane.... ;) Good shit for sure!!! The studio Gojira built in NY is called the Silver Cord, which for astral travelers is the cord that is always attached to the physical body and pulls you back into this physical existence. Means alot to us who have traveled before. Anyone can do it with enough practice and no fear.

Gojira is amazing!

Saw them live a few years ago. Shit was wild

Lex just discovered actual headbanging 😂

Just wow, I to can't control my body when a great tune comes on.lexi, well I'm sure slot peeps knows what your 5hrowing down. Brad your just about there.!!

Gojira, Rememberance - The Link Alive (!!!!)

I see Gojira, I click like

Gojira is awesome live

Always accept the jolt!

So many songs to recommend by Gojira! Obviously flying whales but id try some of their not as known songs like Satan is a lawyer or Vacuity. Keep it coming with the Gojira tho!!

Nobody mentioned, but this is about astrotraveller outer space realizing that heaviest matter of the universe is LOVE. Sounds like heavyshit but the lyrics meaning is touching.
