Of all the young French bands Gojira is without any doubt the most promising and probably the most talented. Even if their first two albums were already excellent and even if we all know that a third release can be fatidic, it can also be a nice confirmation. It's a confirmation yes, a confirmation of all the potentiality of this amazing combo and it's not really surprising to see that all the media in Europe say that it is one of the best release of the year 2005. "From Mars To Sirius" is a must…

As always with Gojira, you'll find one more time their really typical sound. I could say that it is a mix of Thrash, Death, with some really progressive elements and even some atmospheric touches. Actually it's impossible to do any comparisons. Gojira play Gojira's music but I saw them live several times and they were all super impressive every time, they are great musicians.

This album has twelve songs, and some of them are really impressive. "Ocean Planet" with its excellent melodies or the aggressive "The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe" with it catchy choruses are two good examples of the really high quality of this release. Evidently the other songs are really good too and the general atmosphere of this album is awesome. Like on Terra Incognita, there is something mystic on this album (the lyrics help a lot) and I really hope that you'll be lucky enough to discover them through this album and in that case, don't forget their previous albums.

With a great production, some great artworks and layouts "From Mars To Sirius" is for me the best release of the band. Those guys rock and they prove that they are one of the best bands that come from France. "From Mars To Sirius" is an excellent release and probably the best release of the year 2005 in France. Don't miss it…

This album contributes heavily to the increase of paraplegics in the Metal community, and, consequently, the members of Gojira should be sued for making such an headbangable and mind blowing record.

Brilliant.
Darkside Momo - 11.11.2006 at 18:39  
Yes, brilliant !

This guys for sure have listened a lot of SYL / Devin Townsend. Same grooving riffs, same vocals, even if they are very different. Seems promising

Never really listened to this cd before, but I was curious, so I listened to it a couple of times, and I must say it is great! It has progressive parts, but also pretty aggressive and fast parts.
harbinger - 17.02.2008 at 23:51  
eh, i liked the first two tracks and another one (forget the name ATM), but otherwise it isn't something i was able to get into. there are a lot of worse french bands out there so i guess it isn't that bad considering?
Dracius - 30.03.2009 at 00:32  
I don't suppose any of you guys know who produced this do ya?
I need to find out cuz the guy's a god
