Gojira‘s “Magma” has topped the UK edition of Metal Hammer‘s year-end list, with the long-running magazine naming it their album of the year. Vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier commented:
“We always take the hard path. We could’ve done this record with a big-name producer, spent three weeks recording and that’s it. But instead we spent almost three years bleeding and sweating over this thing, building our own studio and producing ourselves. So all the choices and decisions we made on this record made it a potential disaster, ha ha! But instead it became this special, special thing. So to be Metal Hammer’s album of the year really means a lot.”
