GOJIRA – fortitude – VINYL LP (black)

Recorded and Produced by Joe Duplantier at Silver Cord Studio – Gojira’s Ridgewood, Queens, headquarters – and mixed by Andy Wallace (Nirvana, Rage Against The Machine), FORTITUDE is a collection of songs urging humanity to imagine a new world-and then make it happen. The band initially laid the foundation for FORTITUDE last year with the surprise release of the 2020 single « Another World. » NPR hailed the track as « an apocalyptic banger, » while STEREOGUM declared, « Gojira are one of this century’s most important underground metal institutions. » Voted by fans as the #1 release on REVOLVER’s « 5 Most Anticipated Albums of 2021, » FORTITUDE continues Gojira’s career-long tradition of harnessing their music as a vehicle for environmental activism with songs like « Amazonia » and « The Chant » not only surveying critical cases, but also catalyzing listeners to take action.
