GOJIRA Magma Vinyl 2016

Gojira wrote an album about grief and made it sound like tectonic plates arguing. This is a compliment of the highest order.

Magma arrived in 2016 as the French death metal institution processed the loss of the Duplantier brothers' mother, and the result is one of the most emotionally precise heavy records of the decade, brutal where it needs to be, breathtakingly quiet when silence does more damage than noise. Gojira have always operated at the intersection of progressive metal and something genuinely elemental, riffs that feel geological, rhythms that suggest the planet has opinions. Magma is where that approach became undeniable. The kind of album that turns casual listeners into people who own too much Gojira merch and have strong feelings about polyrhythm.
