Gojira kicked off this banner year with a big win at the 67th Annual GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles, where they took home the trophy for “Best Metal Performance” with their history-making single “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!).” Joined by composer Victor le Manse and French-Swiss mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, the 4x-GRAMMY nominated band accepted the award for the song that they first introduced to the world with a jaw-dropping performance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games this past summer.
Gojira made history as the first metal band ever to perform at the Olympic Games during the star-studded opening ceremony which also included performances by Lady Gaga and Celine Dion. Accompanied by Viotti and nearly 300 classical musicians, Gojira performed from the windows of Paris’ iconic Concierge amidst a grand spectacle of pyrotechnics, making international headlines and being widely regarded as one of the most talked about moments from the 2024 Summer Olympics. Due to overwhelming demand by their fans, they released the performance as the track’s official music video in December – WATCH BELOW.
Gojira are currently in the midst of working on the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2021 album Fortitude, which featured GRAMMY®-nominated single “Amazonia” and was heralded as one of the best metal albums of the year by Rolling Stone, Consequence, The Guardian, and more.
About Gojira:
Gojira bend extremes to their whim, emerging as an entrancing enigma equally driven by intuition and intensity. Balancing metallic proficiency, primal grooves, and otherworldly melodies, the French quartet continue to facilitate heavy music’s progression into the future by burning down all boundaries. As such, they’ve unassumingly risen to the forefront of the genre as quiet trailblazers, recently winning their first GRAMMY® Award to go along with their four nominations to date as well as a coveted spot on Rolling Stone‘s “100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time” with 2005’s landmark From Mars To Sirius. Their catalog spans groundbreaking records such as L’Enfant Sauvage [2012] and Magma [2016]. Their most recent full length Fortitude [2021] debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart and #1 on the Top Current Album Sales Chart as the week’s best-selling album in terms of pure sales. Simultaneously, it catapulted to #12 on the Billboard 200, marking a career high. The album’s “Amazonia” was nominated for Best Metal Performance at the 64th Annual GRAMMY® Awards with Fortitude named to multiple year-end lists ranging from Rolling Stone, The Guardian, Consequence, and Paste and hailed as the “#1 Best Album of the Year” by both Revolver and Metal Hammer. In 2024, they stunned the world with a stellar performance during the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics where they debuted “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)” featuring Marina Viotti and Victor Le Masne, which Consequence described as “a truly monumental moment in metal history, and the greatest heavy song of the year.” The fiery track would debut at #1 on the US Hard Rock Digital Songs Sales chart upon its release and go on to take home the prize for Best Metal Performance at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards. With restless creativity and infinite vision, Gojira always inspire thought, awaken passion, and incite catharsis as heavy music’s most unconventional, yet undeniable force.
