Terra Incognita Reviews

• Nice debut!!!

  Let's start by saying this: I don't like to dissect cd's track by track. I don't purchase cds for individual songs. I look for the overall flow of the album. OK, now that that's out of the way, this is what you need to know about this disc. It rocks!!! Terra Incognita is a wonderful precursor to what is to come from Gojira. Chock full of wicked riffs. Speedy at times and sensational moshing. The intuitive interplay between the brothers Duplantier (percussion and guitar) is fantastic. And what's this I hear? Bass lines? And damn good ones at that.
  
  I read reviews of this band that question why they would add certain slower pieces to their music. Why question it? The percussion based offerings (mallet stuFFz) are just fine and fit into the overall sound of the disc. Stop trying to pigeonhole these guys!!! They are creative and a big step above lesser bands who only try to be "the heaviest band ever". This is what sets them apart. They are secure with their heaviness and not afraid to put their genius out there for everyone to hear. No matter where it may take them.
  
  

• Better than The Link, on par with From Mars...

  This is an excellent debut. Not only are the songs top notch, but the production is too. The production of this cd sounds way better than The Link. The Link was even remastered, and this album still sounds better. The songs are also better in my opinion, considering it's older. The album has a very moody groove oriented feel, and is extremely heavy of course. This album is also full of very staccato off-time chunk riffs which I've come to love Gojira for. Also, pinch harmonic squeals are all over the place, and are very tasty. The album probably has my favorite Gojira riff on the song Space Time, nothing could be more heavy or groovy. Slowly this band is becoming one of my favorites, and the style of Death Metal they play was almost forgotten, but Gojira are here to spice it up. For fans of Obituary, and Death, Gojira is your saviour.

  If you are a death metal fan who enjoyed listening to the greats such as Death, Atheist, Morbid Angel, this album will no doubt get you revved up for the new generation. Enjoy!!!
