Gojira

Next year’s festival was supposed to feature headliners Metallica and the recently reformed Linkin Park.

Gojira will become the first metal band to ever perform at the Olympics.

If you can find a band that has THAT MANY SINGLES and bangers from a catalogue that they only drew on the last 8 years (!!!), then I will be STUNNED.

The next 90+ minutes are difficult to put into mere words. But this is a review, and we must try...

Mostly formidable.

"One show any metal fan would not want to miss."

Hook driven, melodic, heavy as hell!

With 'Magma' out today, I had a chat with Gojira's Mario Duplantier about everything from film-making to bodyboarding. Cause why not!?

"The hysteria is largely warranted."

Even if Gojira have become more conventional as their success propels them towards mainstream metal, they’re still doing things that are interesting and unusual.
