720x405-Gojira-2016---Travis-Shinn

French thrash metal titans, Gojira have announced their new LP release, ‘Magma‘, out on 17 June 2016, and they also let out a first taste.

Silvera‘ is the first official video clip out of ‘Magma‘, and it is a hideous and unkind statement on society with angry lyrics. A mid-tempo hellish thrash metal song, powerful and brutal that also reveals new, strong and threatening guitar melodies, that Gojira always include as a secret weapon in their music.

And if it all started back in 2001’s ‘Terra Incognita‘ as their first release, it was only when ‘The Way of All Flesh‘ (2008) put the band in the international metal map. ‘L’Enfant Sauvage‘ in 2012 blasted them as a headliner act in metal festivals around the world. Now, Gojira sound more confident than ever, they have won their battles and they are leading thrash metal, among few other bands, through the modern thrashing point of view. ‘Silvera‘ is an example of how ‘Magma‘ will sound, and the metallic world will praise them once again as pioneers of the genre. Actually, Gojira sincerely deserve it.
