Gojira

French quintet Gojira expand their death/doom combination on this fourth full-length. Pushing metal's blackened boundaries with odd time signatures, reserved double bass, sawing guitars and slow-burning, overcast tracks like "All The Tears," "The Art of Dying" and the 17-minute crusher "The Way of All Flesh," reveals a thought-provoking progression while vocalist Joe Duplantier growls about the inevitably of death.
