French progressive metallers
GOJIRA will perform at Santos Party House in New York City on Thursday August 9. More information is available at
TicketWeb.com.
GOJIRA was originally scheduled to take part in a North American tour co-headlined by
LAMB OF GOD and
DETHKLOK, but that trek has since been canceled due to the continued incarceration of
LAMB OF GOD singer
Randy Blythe in the Czech Republic.
GOJIRA's fifth album,
"L'Enfant Sauvage", sold almost 11,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to debut at position No. 34 on The Billboard 200 chart. The band's previous CD,
"The Way Of All Flesh", opened with 4,200 units back in 2008 to land at No. 138.
"L'Enfant Sauvage" entered the official chart in France at position No. 7 (No. 17 on the digital chart).
"L'Enfant Sauvage" (which translates to "The Wild Child") features 11 tracks of mind-bending, thunderous metal. The CD was recorded at
Spin Recording Studios in Long Island City, New York with co-producer
Josh Wilbur (
LAMB OF GOD).
A special collector's package of
"L'Enfant Sauvage" features two bonus tracks and a double-colored vinyl version of the record, along with an exclusive t-shirt.
GOJIRA will release a new DVD/Blu-ray,
"The Flesh Alive", in the U.S. on July 31 via
Mascot. The set will be made available in the following formats:
* 2-DVD+CD
* Blu-ray+CD with free poster
The three-disc
"The Flesh Alive" chronicles the making of
GOJIRA's 2008 album,
"The Way Of All Flesh", and the touring activity that followed the CD's release.
