Gojira

A French metal band from Ondres. Founded in 1996 under the name Godzilla, the band consisted of brothers Joe (vocals, rhythm guitar) and Mario Duplantier (drums), Christian Andre (lead guitar), and Jean-Michel Labadie (bass guitar). The band has not changed its name since renaming itself to Gojira in 2001. Gojira is known for its progressive and technical death metal styles, as well as its spiritual, philosophical, and environmental lyrics. The band went from “complete obscurity in the first half of its career to wide global recognition in the second.”
