There are two artists with this name:
1) Gojira is a death metal / progressive metal band from Bayonne, France. Their lyrics focus on life, ecology, and spiritual themes. They were formed in 1996 by brothers Joe Duplantier (vocals and lead guitar) and Mario Duplantier (drums), Christian Andreu (guitar) and Jean-Michel Labadie (bass guitar).
They had initially named their group Godzilla, but due to legal constraints had to change their name. They therefore chose to re-name their band Gojira - the original Japanese version of their name (in Japanese Gojira means gorilla-whale or gorilla the size of a whale). Some of the content of their music is focused on the ecological effects of human activity on the Earth.
Joe and Mario Duplantier also play in an experimental metal band called Empalot.
In 2007 Joe also became the bass player for former Sepultura members Max and Igor’s new project, Cavalera Conspiracy.

XenoChist . просто The Way of All Flesh задумывался как самый мрачный их альбом, об этом сам Joe Duplantier сказал

The Way of All Flesh - альбом самый "мозгодавящий", я б сказал) Главное - слушать в правильном месте и в правильное время, чтобы уловить весь смысл... Правда, темп временами провисает (мне кажется, спокойные моменты можно было раза в два сократить), но за атмосферу и технику - твёрдая 5, даже с плюсом. Но всё равно, мой самый любимый альбом у них остаётся From Mars to Sirius

I thought that the headliners are anounced at first (except Jelonek). What kind of bands will be headlining if Gojira is only a support?!

Gojira will play as a support before one of the headliners.

MrPeaceCore wrote:
ursynalia festival! anyone knows will Gojira be headliner of one day or will play before Slayer? I hope not, Gojira deserves at least 1,5 h at the end of day. Besides, after Gojira I wouldn't have any more strength for Slayer.
