Ever since 2016, released the main work of Gojira LP Magma, this French quarterback has topped several ‘expected metal record’ lists for 2021.

Work is going on, and we are very, very, very happy and very proud of it. We can’t wait to give you more details. “Back in August 2020 Gojira released the single / video” Another World, “and it now seems that the song is the first track associated with their album, which the band has just announced.
