Gojira Go With Roadrunner For Next Album

11/09/2011
. Gojira have inked a new deal with Roadrunner and will record their upcoming fifth album in New York City this month with eye towards a spring 2012 release.

Joe Duplantier will serve in a co-producer capacity along Josh Wilbur (Lamb of God) for the new album.

Gojira are comprised of vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier, who has a previous relationship with Roadrunner, having played bass on Cavalera Conspiracy's debut Inflikted, along with guitarist Christian Andreu, bassist Jean-Michel Labadie and drummer Mario Duplantier, who is also Joe's brother.

"We are so stoked to walk with the legendary Roadrunner," Joe said about the new partnership. "We discovered Sepultura, Machine Head, Death, Fear Factory and so many other great bands thanks to these guys. Roadrunner has been a great source of inspiration for us as metal fans. It's an honor to be part of this family today as a band. We feel we'll get the right support at the right moment in our career. We cannot wait to release our new record and get back on the road."
