Gojira – ‘L’Enfant Sauvage’ CD

On its fifth album and first for Roadrunner Records, ‘L’Enfant Sauvage,’ French heavy metal goliaths Gojira indeed ask their fair share of questions. The title, which literally means “The wild child,” connotes a big question for singer, songwriter, and guitarist Joe Duplantier.

“When you become a musician, you do not have a boss telling you what to do, so you have to be very responsible,” he affirms. “With freedom comes responsibility, so I am asking myself, ‘What is freedom? What does it mean to me?’ ‘L’Enfant Sauvage’ reflects on that. There is no answer, though. There is just life and questions.”

The French quartet have created their most anticipated release – already being heralded from Revolver to Pitchfork to Alternative Press. The album was produced by Josh Silver (Lamg Of God).
