Gojira's Epic Olympic Games Performance Was Recently Projected On The Arc De Triomphe in Paris, France For A Live Celebration

Gojira‘s landmark performance at the opening ceremony for the Paris Olympic Games this past July found the French progressive metal band become the first metal artist to play the Olympics. The group unveiled their collaboration with Paris Olympic Games composer Victor Le Masne, and mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, for that kickoff ceremony.

The elaborately staged performance found members of the band suspended from the walls of the Conciergerie Palace in Paris, France amid pyrotechnics and macabre imagery associated with the France’s revolution. As part of a recent ceremony celebrating the games in Paris, France, Viotti returned to the stage to perform that track, “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)“, with footage of Gojira‘s original opening ceremony performance projected behind her on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, France.

Audio of Gojira‘s opening ceremony performance of the track was officially released last month. Gojira themselves are currently out touring North America with Korn and Spiritbox:
