Unearth Sells Well, While Gojira…Not As Good

Scott — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 15:37:42 +0000

Unearth landed themselves on the Billboard 200 with their first weeks sales of The March clocking in at just under 11,000 copies. This placed them at #45, while France’s Gojira didn’t do so well with their second album on the Prosthetic label, The Way Of All Flesh only selling around 4,200 copies. I thought The Way Of All Flesh would sell much better considering the buzz around this band and the response that their previous album, From Mars To Sirius, received. While 4,200 was still pretty good and enough to land them at #138 on the Billboard 200, it still seems to me that it would have sold more with all the people on the Internet praising them. However, it’s still early on, so with some touring this album could end up selling much better. If you haven’t checked out The Way Of All Flesh, I highly recommend it especially if you like From Mars To Sirius.

Scott — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 13:35:51 +0000

With an absolutely amazing new release coming up with The Way Of All Flesh, Gojira’s first single, or video is Vacuity. Not my favorite song,as I said before, but still a solid tune and cool video. Look for Gojira’s The Way Of All Flesh October 14th on Prosthetic Records.

Gojira: "The Way Of All Flesh" Reviewed

Scott — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 21:23:32 +0000

Gojira’s latest release The Way Of All Flesh goes hot on October 14th. The Way Of The Flesh picks up where From Mars To Sirius left off…and then some. It should definitely quench the hunger of the fans that have been waiting for what seems like an eternity for something new since 2006. What’s great about Gojira is that they have a unique sound to them. They don’t sound like every other band on the market today and their messages are positive through negative words. Where from Mars To Sirius was a conceptive album based around the environment and how we are killing the Earth slowly through mass consumption like a parasitic life-form, The Way Of All Flesh speaks of the eminent death of mankind by our own hands through greed and destruction of this beautiful rock we live on. frontman/guitarist Joe Duplatier describes the album as follows:

It’s more inventive that From Mars To Sirius and at the same time more straight to the point,” The whole album is about death, death is like a step on the path of the soul. The mystery surrounding this phenomenon is just so inspiring, and death is the most common thing on Earth.”

“This album is also a ‘requiem’ for our planet,” he continues. “We don’t want to be negative or cynical about the fate of humanity, but the situation on Earth is growing critical, and the way of humans behave is so catastrophic that we really need to express out exasperation about it. It’s not fear, but anger. But we still believe that consciousness can make a difference and that we can change things as human beings.”

The musical value of ‘Flesh is amazing. You can hear 10 of the 12 songs from the CD over at Gojira’s Myspace so I’m not oignt o sit here and do a track-by-track review. However, the very first song, Oroborus (Which is not on myspoace yet) has a quick lower note fretboard pull-off riff to it with Mario Duplantier working the crash bell and an overall cool fist-pounding way about it. The other song that is not up there is Vacuity. This was the very first song they made available on Myspace, and while it’s not my favorite, it’s a pretty damn cool song as well that starts off with a slow, sledge/doom riff with a thick chorus. Vacuity then picks up with some triplets and some blast-beats that I’m not too big on. My favorite song on the CD…ok, my two favorite songs on the cd are A Sight To Behold and Adoration For None. A Sight To Behold has this groovy electronic feel to it and Adoration has guest vocals by Lamb Of God’s Randy Blythe. How can you so no to that?

Swing on over to Gojira’s Myspace and listen to 10 of the 12. The new Myspace Player only allows 10 songs right now. (Damnit, Tom! Get your shit together!) You won’t be disappointed. The Way Of All Flesh will be released on October 14th through Prosthetic Records.

One of the top 5 of 2008 for sure!
