GOJIRA DEBUT NEW VIDEO FOR ‘THE SHOOTING STAR’

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

“…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.”

– A.V. Club
