Gojira

France’s Gojira takes its name from the Japanese pronunciation of “Godzilla” — in fact, the band originally was called Godzilla — and Gojira’s monstrous sound is a heady blur of thrash, progressive and technical death metal. After spending years in obscurity, Gojira signed with Roadrunner Records for 2012’s L’Enfant Sauvage and finally took the world by storm. In April, the band released its seventh studio album, Fortitude, which propelled Gojira into the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 — no small feat for a metal band in 2021. This will be a global metal show, with hardcore punks Knocked Loose, from Kentucky, and thrashers Alien Weaponry, from New Zealand, also performing.
