Gojira Post New Track Into The Storm Tuesday, 13 April 2021
Gojira have shared a new track.
Into The Storm marks the fourth early single from the French metal band s forthcoming LP, Fortitude , due out on April 30 via Roadrunner Records.
Cast across changing time signatures and earth-shuddering riffage, it follows the previously unveiled Amazonia, Born For One Thing and Another World. Vocalist and guitarist Joe Duplantier said: This song is infused with the concept of civil disobedience. Acting accordingly with our deepest wisdom and standing for what is precious and good in this world. The only possible revolution is the one that blossoms from within us. Change will come from individuals. Laws are meant to be bent and shaped to our vital needs. LAWS WILL FOLLOW!

French-Canadian astrophysicist Hubert Reeves remains best-known for his work on nucleosynthesis, but on this fateful evening he stressed that humanity’s self-destruction was less likely to come about in the fires of atomic fury than through the cold, quiet slide of complacency.
