Work continues on Gojira‘s follow-up to their 2021 album “Fortitude“. The acclaimed French progressive metal band have been compiling ideas for that effort for awhile now, and according to vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier are currently “in the middle of it.”
He recently told Loudwire Nights of how that outing is coming along, “It’s not a secret, but…we’re in the middle of it.”
He continued:
“It’s hard to tell people what it’s going to be, you know, and I also don’t want people to be surprised. But we’re working, we’re working, we’re trying to deliver something that is meaningful and impactful. We’re very ambitious in terms of writing songs. We want to take a clear step forward and upward with this album, so we’re putting all our love and energy on it.”
