Gojira- Wolf Down the Earth "The Way of All Flesh"

[Dividirlo69]

dude metal is metal. juss caz u listen to something that seems emo doesnt make u emo. i personaly am like u n dont like that kind of music but its metal dont be hatin. gojira's a band everyone can love for there meaning if they dont like the sound. i think some of u need to listen to infidelamsterdam if ur going to judge on pples music

[DrSatansCureForLife]

dude gojira will have those emo faggots screaming just like the Japanese would when they see gojira

[TheCman3892]

Tastiest fucking riffs in the world on this song!

[shredjelly]

Gorjira isn't as heavy as meshuggah but the groove is absolutely unparalleled.

[Dracon600]

There are few things I call epic. The creation of the universe, sex with 4 women at once(that never happened). Now I add this song to my list. It is third. Yes, I don't call many things epic. This song is so fucking awesome, none compares, nothing is as good. I think I will call this song my favorite always.

[mattjoeywoo]

Comparing Gojira to Meshuggah is like comparing apples to oranges.

[wershasherma]

this fucking song is so goddamn good.. lyrics alone.. kinda reminds me of never ending story with the wolf and the nothing fucking awesome

[Tool78Maynard]

Thanks to this wonderful band link here...I checked out a video by Attack attack..my brained cramped and vomit came out of my asshole...wtf..fail

[rubnaus]

damn, I looked up the lyrics... It's just... wow. I mean, if you'd read it without ever hearing the song it'd still be awesome.

[zombiez23457]

why is burning tires a top comment ?? FOR GOJIRA?! dont get it...

[joevandal13]

@zombiez23457 The message behind the song is saving world and keeping it clean because we are fucking it up. Hence wolf down the earth. Its a joke

[Hungry4Film]

@zombiez23457 It's a joke you fuckwit -_-

Now stop being an idiot and enjoy the mind-blowingly amazing music.

[Metalpefki]

Dude.Attack Attack on a Gojira video?

...

..Really?!

[mike111D]

does anyone else notice the similarity between this song and "space time" off their first album? i think they recycled the riff only made it slightly better.

[Hazethebassist]

@mike111D yes, i love that song as much as this one

[deathcoresucks1]

Gojira kicks ass don't see how you can like them and also like bands like the acatia strain and devil wears prada but whatever bro people have strange prefrences

[WhyteHoodNegra]

@deathcoresucks1 Variety mate.. Variety..

-stealdiesel

[Fishstickification]

I hate metal which is heavy for heavy's sake, Gojira has a lot of deep meaning. This should be played at rallys and protests for climate change!

[st1nee]

My favourite band, my favourite track.

[Hazethebassist]

2:34 is the greatest it makes me feel happy

[wtfmandudeguy1]

i love the meaning of this song. from what i can draw its about the nature of man to destroy any environment he is in. also predicting that soon man will destroy every natural place on earth. in short, if we cannot live in nature, if we need our cities and industries to survive...then are we a natural species? are we really the dominant species or a parasite upon the natural earth?

[Dracon600]

@wtfmandudeguy1 Man needs cities though, because everyone reproduces like a bunch of damn rabbits having kids they don't want only to abuse their own kind.

[alecalec321]

That chorus at 1:35 was fucking awesome. shit gives me goosebumps every single time.

[metallitrooper]

2:38. isn't that basically Space time? i hope so. because that's probably the best breakdown they've ever done. except for the ending to Remembrance.

[Iconlast]

@metallitrooper sounds like it indeed

[Cervy18]

i want to eat the FUCKING universe when i listen to this song

[fakecrayonz]

These guys are fucking sweeet!!! Check out another New band coming out. "KHAi" - their on my page if you want to see some new music enjoy.

[jimh16]

2:35 this sounds conveys to me the feeling of everything in the world being right for once but the underlying tone denotes it came at a cost.

[Gojiraka]

7 people were wolfed down the earth

[CyValkarion]

How often do they say "river flow" in this album?

[cjrizzle93]

@CyValkarion more than in your album im guessing LOL! jk.... couldnt help myself. trollin...

[CyValkarion]

@cjrizzle93 I wish I had an album :'(

[cjrizzle93]

@CyValkarion me too :''(

[Sephirothmassume]

I would give myself anally to this song.

[rath223]

if at the end of this song you wolfed down the earth and i was the last one alive id say "fuck yeah!" and then be engulfed in flames :D

[TheWezel1995]

bad band links... Gojira is sooo nice. This song is beautiful, pure and brutal at the same time.

[Damienelite]

@TheWezel1995 AH MEN BROTHER, A MEN! 

[HittokiriBattousai17]

"THE WOLVES ARE NOW YOUR LORDS!"

6 people were eaten by Fenrir.

[12luiguti]

@HittokiriBattousai17 by who?????

[HittokiriBattousai17]

@12luiguti This song is about Fenrir, the God-Wolf of the Nordic Ragnarok

[123121s1]

@HittokiriBattousai17 no it isn't

[HittokiriBattousai17]

@123121s1 It is, a wolf who came from the sky to cover the earth in flames.

[123121s1]

@HittokiriBattousai17 just read the lyrics man

[e3axordos]

@123121s1

you can't just say that it is about an old mythical god and relax,it is more than that.it goes deeper,I'm with you.

[RunsInTheSkinnyJeans]

job for a cowboy is beast. Everybody thinks they are deathcore,... WHIcH THEY ARE NOT!!! they only played deathcore on their doom ep. theyre ruination album is awesome with fast super technical guitar and amazing drums and vocals and... you can actually here the bass

[Mechamortal]

God, all those linked bands fucking suck. Especially Blowjob for a Cowboy.

[HittokiriBattousai17]

@Mechamortal Dropkick Murphys is a nice band

[nardulli22]

@Mechamortal ya and those emo fucks Attack Attack. they couldnt hold a candle to Gojira

[Vikktor676]

@nardulli22 I am hearing Gojira in these days, I didn't know them. They are nothing special at all, a guy who digs Gojira is a guy who wanna convince himself of liking Gojira. because they are nothing special really. they steal heavily and copy from: Meshuggah, then Morbid Angel, and Devin Townsend. these french fags do what their people nornally do infact: steal others things, as they did all over their shitty history, as they stole "la Gioconda" from the Italians, and many other things.

[nardulli22]

@Vikktor676 Ha they dont copy Meshuggah. Nobody can copy Meshuggah. Gojira isnth the best, but they are decent. And my comment was 10 months ago, find something else to do with your time bud.

[Vikktor676]

@nardulli22 doesn't matter when u wrote it, and don't waste ur time homie.

[CorruptZDI]

@Vikktor676 Feel sorry for you that you feel that way... My advice for nothing then

[CorruptZDI]

@Vikktor676 It's sad that you feel that way... they are something unique, AS Meshuggah, but they aren't comparable, their both in their own league. All those links for nothing.

Oh yeah and history hasn't got anything to do with this band and music, so that's completely irrelevant.

[Vikktor676]

@CorruptZDI Listen I don't know who sponsor Gojira or who finance them to tour with Metallica and such, but they completely suck and they literally steal mainly from: MORBID ANGEL, and MESHUGGAH. they copy them 100%, sometimes it seems to hear a Morbid Angel, Gojira are embarassing in the least, disgraceful band really. but somehow someone hyped them up so much, someone financing them heavily.

[justjaseyeah]

@Vikktor676 thats a whole lotta effort to shit on a band you dislike?

why the aggression dude? its like one of those right-wing closeted bible bashers railing against the gays when you know youd like nothing better than a deep dicking

[Vikktor676]

@justjaseyeah hahaaahah u try to convince urself with ur own shit u dumbass,lol. gojira suck big time, and they copy so bad morbid angel and meshuggah. I think Gojira are a cover band of Morbid Angel and Meshuggah sometimes, lol. shame

[justjaseyeah]

@Vikktor676 your loss fella, i just dont know why you care so much about a band you hate

[svain01]

@justjaseyeah Because he's just another wolf down the earth

[MrHentaination]

@Vikktor676 Hmmm, well maybe the fact that Gojira was influenced by Meshuggah and Morbid Angel might have something to do with it. Do some fucking research next time, pal.

[Spinosaur101]

Job for a Cowboy is beast.

[Souperfridge]

all the band links are for 12 year olds.

[kkisfriend]

Good god the

bass is EPIC♥

[thedanyole]

if any1 was wondering what music is suposta sound like, listen harder! this is it, and it does'nt get any better than these guys!!!!!

[brocstarr]

this band has constantly improved each and every album the release. I can't wait to hear whats next from them

[e3axordos]

"the wolves are now your lords"

[ThaigerDon]

OP if youre readin this youre a faggot

[FarBeyondVacuity]

I like hip hop, dub-step. I like jazz and electro, rock and some pop music.

But this Album is fucking sweet as. It's a case of sitting up far too late finding things to do on my computer just so I can sit though and listen to the whole thing on iTunes. Such a good band!

[wadihghanem]

wtf is up with the fact that i can't view a shitload of your videos because im in canada ?

[st1nee]

This song is like an eternity of orgasms. How the fuck do they do it? Jizz jizz jizz.

[VinlandValslav]

I do a cover of this on mandolin on my channel. Its eco friendly i think joe would be proud.

[thedanyole]

guess i was lucky my cat was at home....and you weren't with me but, yea it was intense. dmt is great when mixed with pot like 50/1. those curvy Louisiana back roads+ jeep+ enough spotlights to grow a cornfield+gojira and drugs??? good thing i know how to drive proficiently.

[thedanyole]

the 1st time i heard this song i was going 95mph down a gravel road in my lifted jeep grand cherokee on mushrooms and DMT . simply awesome

[WarwickBlood777]

@thedanyole You Were tryin to trip hard man. i didem both seperately but together?ithink id go nuts and kill myself or my cat or something. haha

[thedanyole]

FAWK YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[DemonDestroyer54]

I love the fuckin break down it is beast

[SirjonoTheHarbringer]

[pablosabbatini]

@SirjonoTheHarbringer HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH I HATE YOU, now I'll laugh anytime I hear this song XDDDDDD

[SirjonoTheHarbringer]

@pablosabbatini Sorry man :P

[123121s1]

@SirjonoTheHarbringer first off all you will eat all the bodies

[Jaredhalterman]

The lyrics 0_0

[Chill7302]

2:37 to 3:24 sounds simmilar to their song "Space Time"

[Jattmafia313]

i listen to this song when im burning tires in my backyard

[ShittyMcPoopyBalls]

@Jattmafia313 totally against what gojira is about.

[Ashmista]

@Jattmafia313

Nice way to kill the planet >.>

[Jattmafia313]

@Ashmista trolololo

[Marcko98]

@Ashmista He could do better..

[RaNdOmSoNgLiStEnEr]

This song makes my day. It gets me in such a positive mood. I LOVE GOJIRA! <3 Such beautiful music...

[MegaMrShoes]

i think the world stoped spinning for 6:27.

[fusaboy123]

This song is even better then Best of both worlds

[MrEvilgott]

Drums and Squealies FTW

[dannyboy472]

Omg the drums and guitar fucking blast me away. Im having a fucking orgasm holy fuck best song in the world

[dannyboy472]

[rifferen]

"Just listen to metal and recycle, and we'll all do just fine." - Joseph Duplantier

[15viceandvirtues]

@rifferen Mr Duplantier for fucking president of the world. Lol.

[Deathsiren]

@rifferen Truth

[uphipp]

Wonder why they never play this live. It`s one of their best in my opinion...

[olhedeus]

Maturity???What are you people on, get high its just words. oh my god he called me a faget while im listening to one of the heaviest bands alive "Swallow the trees" I knew these boys loved ganja.

[SilenceMetal09]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!!

[infiniteobscure]

@SilenceMetal09 lmao

[aeroforce14]

fuckin a man

[123121s1]

@aeroforce14 Are you fucking a man or are you saying "fucking A, man"?

[Krofius]

@123121s1 I lol'd.

[aeroforce14]

@123121s1 i am having sexual intercourse with a man

dick in your eye

[xqqqqqqqqqqqqx]

probably one of the heaviest songs i've heard, and at the same time this is probably some of the most beautiful, well written music i've ever heard aswell

[ladangelo202]

this is the best song ive ever heard

[Rystification]

Gods amongst mere mortals.

Gojira can do no wrong.

[MetallicOpeth]

I love how this is a song about eating the world...HOW MUCH MORE BADASS CAN YOU GET!!!??

[sargeantwelsh]

@MetallicOpeth wolfing down the earth? while the presentation is badass, i don't necessarily consider the topic very badass :/

[Rystification]

@sargeantwelsh i suppose if the title/lyric was "devour the earth" you wouldn't say anything about it

which i will point out i the same thing just presented differently, and a bit less metaphorical

[supah1337B]

@Rystification he doesnt understand it's about how people today are eating away the earth.

[sargeantwelsh]

@supah1337B i totally understand the meaning of the song, and i think its badass that gojira raises this topic, i meant i dont think its badass that we are eating away the earth :(

[uphipp]

@sargeantwelsh I apologize for my presumption, then. Salutes!

[sargeantwelsh]

@uphipp s'alright mate :D im just glad we resolved it without any harsh words and childish arguments! Gojira ftw, too

[supah1337B]

@sargeantwelsh I love too see Mature-ness-ness.

Metal fans = Polite, and crazy as fuckin' hell.

[sargeantwelsh]

@supah1337B thanks mate. too much immaturity these days on youtube and all over. we all gotta stay level headed and work things out calmly..

[supah1337B]

@sargeantwelsh That way we are like this

THEMAKER>Meshuggah&Gojira>Us>A­nimals>Worms>Dirt>Mud in the dirt> and then everything below the dirt is straight rap lovers, and below that is Justin Beiber.

So We can all agree you'd eat worms, dirt and rap before you'd eat Beiber.

[sargeantwelsh]

@supah1337B naw mate, don't let music you don't like get to you. if you don't like it, don't even spend time thinking about it! plus i have a broad horizon of musical taste. there is alot of hip hop i really like, as well as ambient, electric, dubstep, folk, even some music people would consider pop. etc. etc. its not about being part of one 'scene' or another, its about liking what you like. i always cite this quote:

'i like what i like, and what i don't like, doesn't concern me.'

[uphipp]

@sargeantwelsh thats probably because you don`d give a shit :P

[uphipp]

@MetallicOpeth Agreed!! I love the present-day message in Gojira`s lyrics. Powerfull!

[uphipp]

@MetallicOpeth Agreed!! I love the present-day message in Gojira`s lyrics. Powerfull!

[moo3992]

@DiscoRByrno oh yea!

[moo3992]

also hes sliding his pickhand down? re: :15

[Bobjoemurphy99]

Sick intro and first like 2min!!

[MetallicOpeth]

I really like the part at 3:25 through to 4:50, the harmonized guitarwork is sweet

[Lokneo29]

the meaning behind this song is somewhat confusing, ive got my own interpretations, but others wanna share their own? im curious

[LaneD83]

@Lokneo29

Finally the villains win!!!!!

[deadfordays]

@Lokneo29 too late to change whats coming. the end of all things and the pain dealt and much deserved so dont cry like a bitch cuz its coming and you deserve it. thats my interpretations. and based on the bands beliefs i would say its about the end of the earth due to mankinds mistreating of its resources.

[mola55e5]

WTF is up with the closet homosexuals calling everything they don't like gay?

[Oxidized]

@mola55e5 But he's right.. Every band in the annotations is gay.

[MetallicOpeth]

@Oxidized I can't say I agree with that, Job for a Cowboy and The Black Dahlia Murder are pretty heavy man.

[anonymousguitarguy]

HOW DO U GET THAT SOUND AT 0:15 IS IT A BEND OR A HARMONIC OR WHAT . i can play this whole song, just cant get that sound!!!!!!!!!

[dadudeguy2]

@anonymousguitarguy pinch harmonic, youtube it.

[Sethanas12]

@anonymousguitarguy its a squeal I think, were you kinda pluck the string with your thumb touching it lightly

[moo3992]

@Sethanas12 yea pinch harmonic! bridge pickup too maybe

[Sethanas12]

@moo3992 oh thats what it was called, can't believe i forgot.

[moo3992]

@anonymousguitarguy lots of gain, bridge pickup, choke up on the pick so the inside of your thumb barely touches the string after a downstroke. it has to be on a node or where a note would actually be when u go past the fretboard, towards the bridge. (a good one is just past where the neck pick up would be. hevy vibrato helps to. some fretted pinches are easier than others, doing them on the A string works good.

[enoch5000]

this is totally sick... MOSH!!!!

[MrTheshortbusallstar]

Sweet dude.

[MertOKTN]

WTF is up with the links to gay bands?

[RulingShadowJester]

@MertOKTN the bands arent gay but the guy who thinks he can do a good cover of those bands songs surely is HAHAHA

[pacheco28]

@RulingShadowJester nope theyre gay bands... except black dahlia :P

[q3mk]

@pacheco28 Acacia Strain's latest album, new Job For A Cowboy and Whitechapel are all decent, but still shouldn't be promoted via a Gojira song.

[mirosotoz]

Kickass

[Smurfhead99]

instant orgasm upon listening to this song

[EvaDogg]

THIS SONG IS THE SHIT

[rkosym]

Brutal

[tehjoulethief]

2:25. yes please

[discipleofrock1993]

@tehjoulethief hell yes. favorite part

[gishwaisgod]

i love the fade out at the end great way 2 end a song

[gixxr6FLY]

brutal opening......i love it

[cornboy111]

the intro to this sounds like the intro to From The Sky haha

still a kickass song :D

[ShroomSamich]

that was tits

[Zero383224822]

This band is like the GOD to all other metal bands, its a mixture of everything i love about metal in one band, this band makes my pants explode like BOOM

[Escalusblack]

They are OD nice, they remind me of mastodon too another great band

[gixxr6FLY]

@Escalusblack That was my very 1st band that came to mind when trying to compare with somebody else. I actually found these guys off a Mastodon station (last fm). Why the fuck it took all these years i don't know!!!!!

[lollygaggle]

The vocalist sounds just like my mother-in-law.

[locust7777]

Oh and by the way, all the freaks who are getting hard over this, i hope you're not serious?! If so, you really need to get out more.

[locust7777]

2:38 is just incredible. These guys come up with some amazing riffs, dispensing with the boring and repetitive guitar solos a la Kerry King from Slayer. Don't get me wrong, i love Slayer, but Kerry needs to stop making the same guitar solos over and over. Anyway, Gojira, great album this one, hopefully groundbreaking, but Meshuggah are a better band.

[BlueBarrier782]

@locust7777 As much as I love Meshuggah, Gojira is just simply a better band. Meshuggah is the roots and has great conceptual rhythms and tones, but Gojira has that AND understands to keep the "classic storytelling" within it. IMO a much harder thing to do, I still can't find other bands that blend soul, classic harmony and asymmetrical rhythm all in one metal package to the extent Gojira can.

[bom2]

They're completely different bands that shouldn't even really be compared.

[BlueBarrier782]

@bom2 Maybe so...but the thought still remains there for me.

[locust7777]

Thanks for the input but i can't see it. I am a bass man and Meshuggah's incredibly huge bass riffs do it for me. Anyway they both kick ass and for Gojira i think the best is yet to come.

[BlueBarrier782]

@locust7777 I can see that, if you are more into strict conceptual rhythm, it can depend on the person.

[GroveCityThugz]

2:37... :'(

i cant explain how i feel.

[csrfcboy]

dont fall back on your heels, stand strong and fight!
