February 23, 2017 – Gojira have debuted the official music video for “The
Cell,” which is featured on their critically adored new LP, MAGMA. The
video, directed by Drew Cox, sees Gojira delivering a pummeling and
dynamic performance captured by a thermal-imaging camera. The official
video for “The Cell” is streaming now on Gojira’s YouTube
channel<https://youtu.be/J13GI4Xik1o>.
Next month Gojira will embark on a European headline tour with special
guests Code Orange and Car Bomb, which is set to get underway March 5th at
The Circus in Helsinki, Finland. Gojira will then return to the states in
May for a string of headline shows with support from Kyng (5/2 – 5/3),
followed by Deafheaven and Code Orange (5/16 – 5/18). The recently
announced headline dates will coincide with Gojira’s U.S. tour alongside
Opeth which begins May 4th at Nashville, Tennessee’s War Memorial
Auditorium. The spring trek will also see Gojira performing festival sets
at Monster Energy’s Carolina Rebellion (May 5th) and Rock On The Range
(May 19th), along with a stop at Morrison, Colorado’s legendary Red Rocks
Amphitheatre on May 11th. This summer Gojira are set to join Metallica’s
WorldWired Tour for a run of North American dates which will begin on July
29th at Los Angeles, CA’s Rose Bowl and continue through August 16th (see
attached itinerary). Tickets for all dates are on sale now. For more

Last year Gojira’s
MAGMA<https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL108Ibu60Az0LkUN3bcEzcLSv63PzE3Dj>
staked its claim amongst the best albums of 2016, earning Metal Hammer’s
coveted “Album of the Year” title while also landing on Rolling Stone’s
“Top 20 Metal Albums of 2016,” Consequence of Sound’s “Top 50 Albums of
2016” / “Top 10 Metal Albums of 2016” lists, and Pop Matters’ “Best Metal
of 2016” recap. Additionally “Stranded<https://youtu.be/FNdC_3LR2AI>,” the
lead single off of MAGMA, was named one of Stereogum’s “100 Favorite Songs
Of 2016.” MAGMA also earned Gojira their first ever Grammy nominations
for ‘Best Metal Performance’ and ‘Best Rock Album.’ Gojira’s crushing
track “Silvera<https://youtu.be/iVvXB-Vwnco>” received a nomination for
‘Best Metal Performance,’ while their MAGMA was nominated for ‘Best Rock
Album’ at the awards<http://www.grammy.com/>.
This past June Gojira’s MAGMA took the #1 spot on Billboard’s ‘Hard Rock
Albums’ chart upon debut, making Gojira the first French band to hold the
#1 spot on the chart in its nine year existence. The release of MAGMA
marked the highest chart debuts of Gojira’s career landing them at #4 on
Billboard’s ‘Top Rock Albums’ chart, #6 on Billboard’s ‘Tastemaker Albums’
chart and Top 25 on the ‘Billboard 200.’ Furthermore, Gojira earned career
high chart positions around the globe including Top 10’s in France,
Canada, Switzerland, Austria, Finland, and Norway with Top 15 debuts in
