Gojira - Explosia

Number 5 on the seasonal best album list on Tune Of The Day, goes to the French metal band from Bayonne "Gojira" with their album ”L’Enfant Sauvage”.

Gojira was formed in 1996, the band was known as Godzilla until 2001. Gojira is composed of Joe Duplantier on vocals and rhythm guitar, his brother Mario Duplantier on drums, Christian Andreu on lead guitar and Jean-Michel Labadie on bass. Since their first studio album, Gojira has had no changes in lineup, written five studio albums and produced three live DVDs.

L'Enfant Sauvage is the French fifth album, an album where all the pieces fall into place with their wildly creative brilliance. The record is emotionally intense, filled with physically demanding instrumentation, galloping rhythms with harmony, without becoming a living mass product.

Todays tune "Explosia" is taken from Gojira's fifth album "L'Enfant Sauvage" (French, "The Wild Child"). It was released 26 June 2012.

 

Frontman, guitarist and songwriter Joe Duplantier talks about the meaning of the album by saying, “When you become a musician, you don’t have a boss telling you what to do so you have to be very responsible.” He goes on to say “With freedom comes responsibility, so I’m asking myself, ‘What is freedom? What does it mean to me?’ L’Enfant Sauvage reflects on that. There’s no answer though. There’s just life and questions.”

Gojira was going to tour with Lamb of God and Dethklok, but because of Randy Blythe's arrest in the Czech Republic, the tour was cancelled. Gojira subsequently announced a headline tour of their own.

Graveyard - Slow Motion Countdown

Number 6 on the seasonal best album list on Tune Of The Day, goes to the long-haired Gothenburg Quartet Graveyard with their album "Lights Out".

From front to back, the Lights Out is filled with a dash of 70's inspired hard rock with a refreshingly crisp, unabashedly charismatic songs that give you a album with no gimmicks.

Todays tune "Slow Motion Countdown" is taken from the Swedish hard rock band "Graveyard" third full length studio album "Lights Out". It was released on 26 October 2012.

Ancestors - Corryvreckan

Number 7 on the seasonal best album list on Tune Of The Day, goes to the five-piece American psychedelic/progressive rock/doom metal ensemble Ancestors with their album "In Dreams And Time".

Formed in 2006, Los Angeles’ Ancestors create mighty, modern music that dovetails innovative arrangement, crushing primordial riff interplay and melodic instrumental passages with textural atmospherics. With both thunderous roar and expansive communiqué, Ancestors have been influenced by progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and heavier stoner rock and doom metal.

Ancestors have created an album of epic proportions. It's warm, it's professional and it is progressive. "In Dreams And Time" is a wonderfully sprawling odyssey, an album to lose yourself in.

Todays tune "Corryvreckan" taken from the latest album "In Dreams And Time" I'm a little unsure of the song's meaning, but it may well be about The Gulf of Corryvreckan (from the Gaelic Coire Bhreacain meaning "cauldron of the speckled seas" or "cauldron of the plaid"), also called the Strait of Corryvreckan, is a narrow strait between the islands of Jura and Scarba, in Argyll and Bute, off the west coast of mainland Scotland.



Ther runnes ane streame, above the power of all sailing and rowing, with infinit dangers, callit Corybrekan. This stream is aught myle lang, quhilk may not be hantit bot be certain tyds. This Skarbay is four myles lange from the west to the eist, and an myle breadth, ane high rough yle, inhabit and manurit, with some woods in it.
