Gojira
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.
From top to bottom, these ten tracks represent GOJIRA at their most passionate, powerful, and pure uninhibited by the any outside influences and literally in its own sphere. “This album is GOJIRA in 2016,” Mario concludes. “It’s the balance of everything we do and our most honest statement.”
