Kory Anderson (Siva vocalist) and I discuss Gojira’s 2008 classic “The Way of all Flesh!” We rap about the sweet spot Gojira has found as a really heavy band that is catchy but not poppy, proggy but simple, and artsy but focused. We also discuss their songwriting and self-production, seeing them live with Mastodon in 2014 in LA vs. Boise, the other sweet spot they created as a “sort of” activist band who puts their message out in their music but is not “preachy” or oppositional, and the small club of bands Kory puts them in that have a certain vibe of artistry, branding or lack thereof, complex musicianship, evolvers as artists, and ability to reach crossover audiences. This and much more on Episode 14.
