GOJIRA – Magma

Gojira hails from France and Magma is their 6th full-length release.  Many bands mix subgenres of Metal together, but one of the most unlikely concoctions is the blend of Progressive with Death Metal.  Only a few bands have attempted this unlikely combination with some degree of success … most notably Opeth and Vintersorg.  However, with Magma, Gojira makes a solid claim at taking the throne, because this is indeed an impressive work of musical art that’s a pleasure to listen to regardless of what your primary Metal preference may be.   There’s power, there’s virtuosity, and most of all, there’s incredible creativity.
