dude that last delivery of ''THE GIFT... OF gets me every time.

[metalbld]

Mario's drumming is like the ocean, sometimes calm, constant, or crashing like waves, but always fluid

[Curtin-mfxy]

The drums are rightfully acclaimed, but Joe's vocal ability is truly astounding. He sounds so good, beautiful and powerful, good luck trying to karaoke it.

[MrSipi]

You can instantly identify a Gojira song even without vocals . Very unique style.

[JLDramis]

man that drummer is more accurate than a atomic clock

[behimveladzic]

Mario Duplantier is one of the best drummers in current metal.

[BritishArmyTributes]

For me, the most important band in metal today

[kingink]

I'm almost 50 and I've been a metal head since 1977 and I've heard countless bands with countless originalities throughout my life and I can safely say that Gojira ranks in my top 10 all time favorite bands...

[pLn]

The more I listen Gojira, the more I like Gojira.

[readprojectbeforevoting]

You gave us the best gift in the Olympics. One of the best performances I ever seen.

[stephenmaxwell]

i'm 50 year old metal head, ive seen some of the best drummers in the world, but Mario D. IS THE MOST WICKED MOTHER FUCKER IVE EVER HEARD, no one even comes close, wow

[AndyLarson]

I can hear the bass.. In a metal band.. Life complete

[BOBOUDA]

Their tapping riff thing is so fucking amazing. It's so smooth and melodic.

[theitalianstallion]

I can describe Gojira with two words:
Melodic yet chaotic

[speed-shop]

This. is. Fucking. Amazing. I just started listening to metal recently. What the Fuck have I been doing with my life! This is one of the best songs I have ever heard! This shit is sooo sick!

[joshsanders]

This song is one of the all around best metal songs in a long time. The riff is fucking legendary.

[SixDamming]

Gojira saved my life when I was in rehab... I was about 2 end it and then I felt the energy... and made me angry at myself, still here... ty

[tannahl.]

god, the last two minutes of this song are insane, both live and in studio. it affects me and i can't even explain why or how. my chest gets tight and tingly and i... just... wow. love this song.

[TheLazyOne]

Lyrics:
We leave the shores to see the mountains rising
A distant impression growing
This judgment creates the pain we hold
Destructive intentions that serve no purpose but the end of us all
These vultures from the past
Coming in all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
Embrace, suffer, destroy - the gift of guilt
The shame and sorrow, self-condemnation
Fill all the gaps and the spaces, unyielding
Bestowed upon us, devastating power
We're building connective tissue to a maze of lies
We're left as starving orphans, the vital core is gone
Our sins are all over and over again we swallow
We're sick and tired when this wind blows, the reflex is insane
We must forgive and stop blaming ourselves for this love
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
In all the hells and worlds, the time has come
These vultures from the past
Coming in all the hells and worlds, the time has come
Delivered from their eyes
I'm leaving this behind - the gift of guilt

Saw these guys touring with Slipknot, didn't listen to Gojira, other than Flying Whales. I decided to listen to every song that's on their set list. Come the day of the concert, and the edible i ate 1h prior finally kicked in. This song in particular was the most magical experience I've ever had. My whole being felt like i was lifted to another plane of existence. God Bless Gojira
