1328 - Gojira The Gift Of Guilt 2012

Hailing from Bayonne, France, Gojira have been carving a name in the progressive metal world for several years. Blending technical aspects with epic, yet understated melodies, the band has created a unique sound, one that is ferocious and brutal yet far more accessible than most of the genres fare. With their fifth offering "L’Enfant Sauvage", the band will offer their sound to a much larger audience, thanks in part to their signing to Roadrunner Records. “The Gift Of Guilt” begins with a slightly overdriven finger tapped melody on the guitar. Suddenly, all of the instruments come in, the finger tapped melody gaining more overdrive, becoming more complex. As the song progresses, the grandiose, epic feeling only grows. It’s like seeing a leviathan rise from the water, the vastness of the creature only growing as more and more emerges.
