Ranskalainen progressiivista metallia soittava Gojira on kiinnitetty RoadRunner Recordsille. Yhtye julkaisee uuden vielä nimeämättömän albuminsa vuoden 2012 alussa. Lue lisää nähdäksesi yhtyeen video studiosta sekä vokalisti Joseph Duplantierin viesti sopimukseen liittyen.

”We really needed a platform for the band to be promoted and distributed properly. We’ve been in touch with a lot of labels lately since we finished our contract with Listenable [who released the band’s three previous albums]. To go on with Listenable was not an option, even though we had excellent relations with them. We really needed a bigger platform, and Roadrunner offered us an amazing deal. They have been super into the band for years and years. They have been… I would not say ’chasing us,’ but… well, I would say ’chasing us,’ but they would say ’interested.’ . . . We’ve known [the Roadrunner] guys for years and years — first as metal fans, when we were listening to SEPULTURA and DEATH and all those bands. I remember buying a CD because the Roadrunner logo was on it. It was a sign of quality. And we’ve known those guys for a couple of years. We’ve known [Senior Vice President of A&R] Monte Conner and [U.K. General Manager] Mark Palmer. They expressed how enthusiastic they were about our music in a very intelligent way. They really get what we’re trying to do, so we signed with them.”
