‘Brot und Spiele’ (release date: 17th August 2018) - that’s the title of the new album by SALTATIO MORTIS, their eleventh, if you count only the studio albums - their nineteenth, if you include live albums and a ‘Best Of’. It has taken a lengthy three years to make, which may well have been due to the impressive number of sold-out concerts over the same time. These eight musicians deliberately took this time in order to make a worthy follow-up to its successful predecessor. Dozens of pieces were written, discarded, re-composed, improved, stripped down to their essence, and finally studiously rehearsed, all in one room, loud and thrilling. This process continued on and on until the last person was convinced, “Yes, that's it, that's how we want to sound!”

Magma causes volcanic eruptions. Lying beneath the ground’s surface, this molten material engages the earth to unleash its own lifeblood. GOJIRA incite a similar release on their sixth full-length album and second for Roadrunner Records, ‘Magma’ (2016). Fuelled by unbridled emotion, the ten tracks confront the fragility of life, the aftershocks of loss, and what lies beyond this realm. Musically, the French quartet - brothers Joe Duplantier (vocals, guitar) and Mario Duplantier (drums), Christian Andreu (guitar), and Jean-Michel Labadie (bass) - gracefully swings between quaking and quivering guitars, mind-bending percussion, chillingly elegant melodies, and cosmic atmospherics. The band has always dealt in extremes, uncovering light in darkness and finding beauty in heaviness. ‘Magma’ continues that tradition, while expanding the sonic palette.
