![]() "L'Enfant Sauvage (2012)" and especially "Magma (2016)" saw Gojira going down a slightly more accessible and less progressive road with more easily recognisable vers/chorus structures and in the case of the latter the addition of some clean vocals. 5 years between album releases is quite a long time even these days, but it´s not unusual for Gojira to spend a lot of time writing their material, and they´ve always been a hard working act touring the world, so the years have been spend doing something productive (and hopefully also on reloading their batteries for another round of touring). The album was released through Roadrunner Records in April 2021. "Fortitude" is the 7th full-length studio album by French progressive/groove metal act Gojira. Highly recommended for fans of brutal yet technically complex progressive metal. So take a step ahead of it before it crushes you. An album where action has taken over speech. Recorded at home in the studios of the Milans,"From Mars to Sirius",released in 2005, is an album of revolt, where ancestral forces of dragons are mentioned, the ocean shows its anger and all codes are red lighted. The band, itself, remains the same since birth.Īfter more than 300 concerts in France and abroad, and a live DVD which sold 2500 copies nationally without the support of a "big" distributor and after the recognition from the public for their 2003 release "The Link", it was about time for GOJIRA to explode.which is currently happening. So call it whatever you want: an ecological thought, a politically correct speech, a 50% new age and 50% hippy mentality. Even though the music had already changed, the way of doing things stayed the same. GODZILLA might have been a big green monster smashing down cardboard buildings, taken from Japanese science-fiction films from the 60s deemed out of style today, but it was also a metaphor about the threat of nuclear weapons with which man plays, unconscious of the consequences.ĭue to legal rights, GODZILLA changed its name to GOJIRA right before their first album,2001's "Terra Incognita".GOJIRA is in fact the Japanese translation of its original name. But even through the thinnest booklet of their first demo cover issued under the predictable title "Possessed" there still emerged the first signs of their future emancipation. (Joe on guitar/lead vocals and Mario on drums) and their band fellows Jean-Michel LABADIE (on bass) and Christian ANDREU (guitar) were less than sophisticated. The motivations of the DUPLANTIER brothers GOJIRA was formed in 1996 in a garage near Bayonne - South East of France - under the original moniker GODZILLA. Founded in Ondres, France in 1996 (as Godzilla) - Renamed in 2001 - Still active as of 2019 ![]()
