Description
It has always been hard to put a tag on
GOJIRA, one of France's most extreme bands the country's musical pallet has ever known. But then again, the band has never really sought out such a tag, instead letting the music do the talking, preferring introspection and intelligence over preconceived notions and preexisting tags. Ever since the 1996 formation in town of Bayonne in the southwest of France,
GOJIRA has been an ever-evolving experiment in extreme metal ultimately built upon a worldly, ever-conscious outlook with roots firmly-planted in an environmentally-conscious, new age mentality. Originally dubbed Godzilla, after the scaly, green film star with an equally huge reputation as the newfound band's sound, the brothers Duplantier - guitarist/vocalist Joe and drummer Mario - and fellow Frenchmen Michel Labadie on bass and Christian Andreu on guitar, quickly released several demos, ultimately changing the band's name and independently releasing the first
GOJIRA album, Terra Incognita, in 2001, offering up a brief glimpse into the giant
GOJIRA would eventually become through persistent hard work and years of toiling in the metal underground. Now re released outside France for the very first time, in limited edition digipack with a new and enhanced lay out, and 3 EXCLUSIVE live bonuses,
GOJIRA 's "Terra Incognita" album, seen by their fans as the band ultimate classic, will undoubtly draw major interest worldwide as the band is destroying festivals across Europe!!
