Gojira opened their latest headlining run across France last night (November 27th), taking the stage at the Reims Arena for a show that proved far more eventful than expected. Despite going in shorthanded—with vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier performing through a hand injury—the band tapped Greg Kubacki of Car Bomb as a temporary fill-in guitarist. Even with the lineup adjustment, the GRAMMY-winning progressive metal outfit didn’t play it safe. Instead, they delivered a pair of genuine setlist milestones. The night featured the live debut of “Born In Winter”, taken from their 2012 album L’Enfant Sauvage, as well as the first-ever performance of…

The video—directed and animated by Absynthe Moon Media—expands on the dark narrative crafted by vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt. Across The Last Will And Testament, Åkerfeldt builds a storyline centered around a post–World War I family inheritance, where the reading of a patriarch’s will…
