Gojira: What if the band played banjo on "The Heaviest Matter Of The Universe"?

That's exactly what a YouTuber thought when creating a new version of the track

Rob Scallon is a famous name on YouTube. The musician is known for transforming some of heavy metal fans' favorite songs into something unusual, and this time he didn't disappoint.

Unusual yet brilliant, Scallon's new video features a very different take on "The Heaviest Matter in the Universe" by the French band Gojira . In it, the YouTuber invited his colleague and fellow musician Leo Moracchioli to perform a banjo version of the track.

“It’s been a while since I’ve done a banjo cover,” Scallon wrote when sharing the video, “And I chose this track to receive the special barn treatment.” Watch the video below.
