It’s True, Gojira are Writing a New Album

by | Feb 19, 2014

A couple years ago when Hypno5e played a show at our Haus, they told us how they used to do small shows back in the day with Gojira in France — that was before the band blew up into an international sensation. So what if we told you that Gojira was writing a new album, would you be stoked? Fuck yeah, you would be! Oh…pardon our French.

It’s official. The metal powerhouse from Bayonne, France are currently writing material for their next album, a follow up to 2012’s L’Enfant Sauvage. We presume it’ll be put out sometime later this year. And while we don’t have too many details on it yet, Gojira will be touring the US this spring with Mastodon and Kvelertak. More on this to come.
