#Gojira Announce New Album Fortitude, Share Video for New Song: Watch

French metal outfit Gojira have announced a new album, the band’s first since 2016’s Magma. It’s called Fortitude and it’s out April 30 via Roadrunner. Watch the music video for the new song “Born for One Thing” below. The visual was directed by Charles De Meyer and shot in France and Belgium.

The single was partially inspired by the Tibetan and Thai philosophers vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier read during his youth. “We have to practice detaching ourselves from everything, beginning with actual things,” Duplantier said in a statement. “Own less possessions, and give what you don’t need away, because one day we’ll have to let everything go, and if we don’t, we’ll just become ghosts stuck between dimensions.”

Gojira recorded Fortitude at their studio in Queens, New York, with Duplantier producing the project. The album includes “Another World,” which the band released as a single last summer.
