GOJIRA DEBUT OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO FOR “THE CELL”

“French prog-metal giants tap grief to make a game-changing album.”

Rolling Stone

“…if ever there was a moment that signaled Gojira’s status as leaders in the continuing evolution of the genre, it’s now.”

SPIN

“The Duplantiers had to make this album for themselves. We are the fortunate witnesses.”

Consequence of Sound

 

Magma pulls off the all-too-rare trifecta of being heavy, complex, and catchy, while most of today’s best metal bands are happy to pull off only two of those three things (if that).”

Stereogum

“With its sixth LP, Gojira defends its status as one of metal’s most elite bands.”

February 23, 2017 – Gojira have debuted the official music video for “The Cell,” which is featured on their critically adored new LP, MAGMA. The video, directed by Drew Cox, sees Gojira delivering a pummeling and dynamic performance captured by a thermal-imaging camera. The official video for “The Cell” is streaming now on Gojira’s YouTube channel.

Next month Gojira will embark on a European headline tour with special guests Code Orange and Car Bomb, which is set to get underway March 5th at The Circus in Helsinki, Finland.  Gojira will then return to the states in May for a string of headline shows with support from Kyng (5/2 – 5/3), followed by Deafheaven and Code Orange (5/16 – 5/18).  The recently announced headline dates will coincide with Gojira’s U.S. tour alongside Opeth which begins May 4th at Nashville, Tennessee’s War Memorial Auditorium. The spring trek will also see Gojira performing festival sets at Monster Energy’s Carolina Rebellion (May 5th) and Rock On The Range (May 19th), along with a stop at Morrison, Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre on May 11th.  This summer Gojira are set to join Metallica’s WorldWired Tour for a run of North American dates which will begin on July 29th at Los Angeles, CA’s Rose Bowl and continue through August 16th (see attached itinerary). Tickets for all dates are on sale now.  For more information please visit, www.Gojira-Music.com.

Last year Gojira’s  MAGMA staked its claim amongst the best albums of 2016, earning Metal Hammer’s coveted “Album of the Year” title while also landing  on Rolling Stone’s “Top 20 Metal Albums of 2016,” Consequence of Sound’s  “Top 50 Albums of 2016” / “Top 10 Metal Albums of 2016” lists, and Pop Matters’ “Best Metal of 2016” recap. Additionally “Stranded,” the lead single off of MAGMA, was named one of Stereogum’s “100 Favorite Songs Of 2016.”  MAGMA also earned Gojira their first ever Grammy nominations for ‘Best Metal Performance’ and ‘Best Rock Album.’  Gojira’s crushing track “Silvera” received a nomination for ‘Best Metal Performance,’ while their MAGMA was nominated for ‘Best Rock Album’ at the awards.

This past June Gojira’s MAGMA took the #1 spot on Billboard’s ‘Hard Rock Albums’ chart upon debut, making Gojira the first French band to hold the #1 spot on the chart in its nine year existence.  The release of MAGMA marked the highest chart debuts of Gojira’s career landing them at #4 on Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Albums’ chart, #6 on Billboard’s ‘Tastemaker Albums’ chart and Top 25 on the ‘Billboard 200.’ Furthermore, Gojira earned career high chart positions around the globe including Top 10’s in France, Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Finland, and Norway with Top 15 debuts in Australia and Germany. MAGMA is available at all DSPs and at www.Gojira-Music.com in a variety of exclusive bundles.
