It has always been hard to put a tag on Gojira, one of France’s most extreme bands that the country’s musical pallet has ever known. But then again, the band has never really sought out such a tag, instead letting the music do the talking, preferring introspection and intelligence over preconceived notions and preexisting tags. Ever since the 1996 formation in the town of Bayonne in the southwest of France, Gojira has been an ever-evolving experiment in extreme metal ultimately built upon a worldly, ever-conscious outlook with roots firmly-planted both in the hippie movement and an environmentally-conscious, new age mentality. This time, with “The Way of All Flesh,” Gojira harnesses a spiritual consciousness as well, but still culminates in a sound wholly heavy.
