Led by the Franco-American brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier, GOJIRA is a (death) metal band that transcends the genre and stereotypes. Since its inception about a decade ago in the southwest of France, GOJIRA has managed to establish itself in France, then in Europe, and finally in the United States, becoming what everyone today agrees is THE next big thing. After 3 albums, a French tour of 100 sold-out dates almost everywhere, the biggest European festivals, and 3 American tours, the band returns with a highly anticipated new album: “The Way Of All Flesh”. Combining blazing shows that will leave you agape, with exciting inventiveness and musical openness, there is no doubt that GOJIRA is an exceptional band. It retains from the Japanese monster from which it takes its name the devastating power, combined with a strange and complex emotional atmosphere. GOJIRA is definitely a metal band, but a conscious metal, neither demagogic nor moralizing, which invites you to believe in yourself and to excel, to respect oneself and to respect the Earth.
“The Way of all Flesh” – Released on October 13, 2008.
The new opus addresses death and life, the fact that we will all one day leave this world and that we must learn to live with this reality. This album is also a sort of “requiem” for our planet, expressing, not fear, but anger regarding human behavior and an increasingly critical situation, but also the certainty that an awakening can make a difference, that we have the ability to change things as human beings.
