Gojira (formerly Godzilla) is a French death metal band with prog and groove metal influences.
The band is as capable of creating arrestingly melodic and emotionally stirring music as it is of delivering a darkly percussive aural battering.
After 10 years and a growing fanbase created by DIY touring and album releases, Gojira finally made their breakthrough with their fifth album L'Enfant Sauvage.
In November 2014, Gojira relocated to New York City and construction began on their own music studio in Queens. By April 2015, the studio was complete and the band began recording music. Mixing of the album was completed in February 2016.
Their sixth album Magma is a real tour de force, with tracks such as “Silvera” and the ear-drum-blistering “The Cell” equalling or perhaps surpassing Gojira’s impressive standard of song writing and musicianship.
