RATE THEIR ALBUM (s): Gojira - "The Evolution of a French Metal Titan"

Whilst admittedly, I am not the greatest fan of their output over the last decade, Gojira (hailing from Bayonne, France),  certainly carved a lasting impression upon my metal DNA during their 3 album run of “From Mars to Sirius”, “The way of all flesh” and “L’Enfant Sauvage”.  Indeed, over the subsequent years, Gojira have forged an amazing career for themselves, carving a unique niche in the world of heavy metal since their formation in 1996 and are arguably France’s greatest musical export.

As my musical tastes shifted, Gojira’s evolution and artistic ambition grew. Once revered for their intricate musicianship, environmentally conscious lyrics, and progressive style, over the last decade, we have seen Gojira shed their death metal skin in favour of melody and even accessibility, resulting in  what we see today, “The Evolution of a French metal Titan”.
