THE WAY OF ALL FLESH

A powerful exhaustion of technical prowess and sludgy doom top off the next chapter in Gojira's line of great albums. Although they have a tendency to repeat themselves, so to speak, they never fail to amaze me. They use backtracking, pinch harmonics and their signature quick open strum of the strings to piece the album forward but still hold the softer points that keep your head from falling off altogether from the drivingly heavy and spectacular riffs. The vocals once again use growling ambiance and vocal melody (for an even balance) and cover the awesome instrumental oddities with a cocofany of entertaining splurges. At some points I am reminded of Lamb of God where at others I hear Gorgoroth or Opeth. I encourage all metal loving and prog loving people to Buy This Album!
