Days before the release of their new album Fortitude, Gojira dropped the energetic new single “The Chant.”
The track clocks in at just over five minutes, kicking off with sweeping vocals the band described as a “healing ritual.” Joe Duplantier commented on the track: “Let this chant ring in your bones and lift you up.”
Fortitude — the band’s seventh LP — arrives on Friday. They also shared a teaser for “The Chant” video, which will premiere on the album’s release day. It features monks meditating across images of Duplantier belting the lyrics.
