What explains the strange popularity of Gojira? Some of what I look at:
* Gojira’s history including “The Link,” “From Mars To Sirius,” “Flying Whales,” and “The Way Of All Flesh” and evolution from death metal to groove metal
* Why Joe Duplantier’s vocals and Mario Duplantier’s drumming are so important
* How Metallica and Lamb Of God gave Gojira their big breaks
