Gojiran faneille iloisia uutisia

Ranskalaisen progressiivista metallia soittavan Gojiran vokalisti/kitaristi Joseph Duplantier sekä rumpali Mario Duplantier ovat antaneet Sweden Rockissa haastattelun RockSverige.se:lle, jossa kertovat hieman yhtyeen tulevan albumin aikataulusta. Alunperin yhtyeen oli määrä julkaista uusi albumi lokakuun aikana mutta erinäiset syyt ovat johtaneet siihen, että bändin tuleva albumi tullaan julkaisemaan vuoden 2016 alussa RoadRunner Recordsin kautta.

”We’re thinking early next year. We were aiming for October this year, but, like Mario said, we had to push the recording. I think the difficulty was… Mario brought a lot of ideas on the table… very challenging drum patterns. It’s less complicated than before. It’s more… I wanna say it’s more straight to the point. That’s what we were doing since we started. We’re getting rid of layers and complicated things, just to keep the core of the idea. There’s always an idea behind a song, and sometimes it gets too crowded. So we’re trying to keep the core of each idea. So the energy that Mario has, it’s a big signature for our band, GOJIRA — the drum patterns and the double-kick stuff. And I have my own impulse. So it’s mainly Mario and me composing… I think the fans know that. And one of the biggest difficulties is to come together on these songs and to create something that, okay, we both feel like, ’This is it. This is the song.’ It took a while to get there. Sometimes, on previous albums, Mario wouldn’t be totally satisfied — like three [or] four songs — and for me, I [would be] like, ’Eh, this song is just like a drum solo with guitars on it.’ And this time, I think we really found something — a balance. [It’s] very powerful and exciting. We’re very excited about the new record.”
