When people talk about the great metal bands of our time there are those that will, with any justice, be lost in the mists of time (Bullet for My Valentine) and those that will sadly, but perhaps inevitably, be prematurely forgotten (Cult of Luna). However there will also be those who, without ever compromising their musical integrity, go down as genuinely brilliant bands. Gojira are one such band. Over the course of their career so far they have perfected their unique strand of progressive death metal to the point that 'L’Enfant Sauvage' not only is likely to mark yet another critical peak of Gojira’s career, but another commercial one as well.

I have to admit when I purchased tickets to Jay-Z and Kanye West’s ‘Watch the Throne’ concert in Manchester I felt a mix of both excitement and scepticism. I am an ardent fan of both rappers and have seen them both individually on three separate occasions. Their lyrics are intelligent, their melodies are infectious and they have seduced a whole generation of hip-hop lovers with their tales of rags to riches. However, the concept of the of the two of them performing together on the same stage presented, to me, an opportunity for them to exhibit their own unique brand of self gratifying narcissism that pervades across their music and that waiting for me was a titanic clash of egos of two of hip-hop’s biggest stars that would have no rapport together on stage. I doubted that the camaraderie and magic created in the studio when recording ‘Watch the Throne’ would not be possible to recreate on stage...how wrong I was.
