Is Gojira the best metal band to come about in the last 25 years?

Slipknot has had more influence and TOOL is more Prog Rock/Borderline metal but recently got into Gojira and holy shite. They don’t have a bad album.

Great band but best is pure personal taste. For me the last 25 years possibly would be

Opeth
Mastodon
Jinjer-holy shite this band is coming on hard
Tool-just outside 25 years

edited Tool as they started in 1995

The short answer is Yes.

It got some hate on here but Fortitude is a fricken solid album. I still like Slipknot more due to more range in vocals and structure but Gojira is up there for sure.

TWOTF has been hitting hard lately.

I really like From Mars to Sirius, TWOTF, and Magma as my top 3. Fortitude is legit but seems to be more single hit focused. Don’t really have a “From Mars” + “To Sirius” on Fortitude.

frick that song hits hard though when it transitions.

Mario’s drum work on Esoteric Surgery is mind boggling.

I think I was listening to The Art or Dying and thinking about how fricking good he is. Danny Carey is tGOAT but I think Mario is very underrated.

Hasn't Mario won some "best metal drummer" award several years? I always see him listed very highly when metal drummers are rated, so I feel like he's pretty properly rated.

Obviously a subjective topic. Agree that Jinjer is really a strong contender too.

A few other personal favorites like Opeth & Enslaved just miss the cut, but here are a couple who do fit:

Ne Obliviscaris
Allegaeon

5 years before that. It’s crazy that they’ve been a band for 31 years.

I have seen Power Trip so many times in and around Dallas/Fort Worth and TX since 2009. I shoot photos of most of the hardcore shows in DFW and have tons of Power Trip photos. My friends. I still haven't really gotten over Riley's passing.

I can’t wait to see them live in a couple of weeks, very excited to see them in a small club.

In the past 25 years? That's quite a span. Death was active during that period. So was Suffocation. My answer has to be no.
