Gojira Magma

2016, At long last a new Gojira album is finally staring us in the face. The album was recorded at Joe and Mario Duplantier's New York studio, Silver Cord Studio and boasts ten tracks that will undoubtedly add to Gojira's ever-expanding modern legacy. The music seems to come from an unearthly place with choir-like echoes asserting their presence over tension-heavy, crescendoing rhythms. MAGMA will bridge the four year gap between their last record, though the band has their reasons for some of the delays along the way. During the writing sessions, brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier had to put everything on hold as they dealt with the loss of their mother in July of 2015. The ten tracks on the album deal largely with the brothers' loss as they cope with the tragedy through the lyrics.
