Gojira - Lineup 2025 - Release Athens

Gojira

On July 26th, Gojira made history as the first metal band to play at the Olympics opening ceremony. They performed “Ah, Ça Ira!”, a traditional song of the French Revolution. However, their place as an elite heavy metal band, has been theirs for many years.

Defying any kind of categorization, the four Frenchmen managed to form their own characteristic sound!

Heavy and at the same time emotional, writing dark and overwhelming anthems, with roots in death metal, but also with progressive / technical death metal / thrash / tribal sounding.
At the same time, Joe Duplantier’s philosophical and environmentally conscious lyrics are a mirror of the band’s ecological perception.

Their lineup remains the same, with the brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier and Christian Andreu and Jean-Michel Labadie, as well as their executive skill which has made them one of the top live acts in the world.

Their first two records, “Terra Incognita” (2001) and “The Link (2003), established their reputation in the French metal scene, along with their dynamic live shows.

“From Mars To Sirius” (2005) was a monster of an album and changed their status. The equally aggressive, “The Way of All Flesh” (2008), led them to their first headlining tour in the U.S. From there, Gojira evolved into the… beast we all know!

“L’Enfant Sauvage” (2012) was fierce, flawlessly executed, simply epic! The seminal, “Magma” (2016), recorded during a period of mourning for the Duplantier brothers, was a triumph! A true phenomenon of modern groove metal.The excellent “Fortitude” (2021), their most recent studio album, is the most successful oto date, both in Europe and the USA.
An optimistic albu, as they say themselves, that calls for an ecological awakening against what is currently happening.

July 19th will be a historic day, full of songs like “Silvera”, “Stranded”, “The Gift of Guilt”, “Amazonia”, “Flying Whales”, “L’enfant sauvage” “The Axe” and a explosive live show-experience that no one wants to miss!
