GOJIRA Warns Fans About Fake Band Member Profiles On Facebook - Statement Available!

Last year, GOJIRA released their fifth studio album entitled 'L'Enfant Sauvage' via Roadrunner Records and it caused a lot of commotion within the Heavy Music world thanks to top quality that every song carries within the record. When you add this to their flawless live shows, it is safe to assume that GOJIRA are here to stay. The key is for them to remain consistent and for you to continue supporting them. 

IMPORTANT INFO AND REMINDER:

Facebook profiles of Gojira Band members Joe and Mario Duplantier are FAKE. Joe and Mario do not have any Facebook account but are checking your messages and posts on the official Facebook page www.facebook.com/GojiraMusic

Also there is NO OFFICIAL Gojira FANCLUB at this time. All "fanclubs" you can find on the web and on Facebook are run by fans not by the band.

Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the mailing list on our website to receive information on upcoming touring, access to presales and VIP and the latest official news from the band!

Thanks,

We recently chatted with the bands drummer and co-founder Mario Duplantier. During the chat Mario discusses the bands mindset from the moment they started working on 'L'Enfant Sauvage' and how working with his brother Joe has been elemental for the success of GOJIRA. He also discussed how growing up in a small town in France helped to shape up the Duplantier brothers as musicians. Without further due, here is a video interview with one of the best drummers in Heavy Music. Enjoy!

We just went to Irving Plaza here in New York City to interview Mr. Devin Townsend and found this sign posted right outside the venue:

A word from the GOJIRA camp:

"***URGENT attention NYC Fans, Tonight's Sold Out show at Irving Plaza is unfortunately going to be postponed due to the storm. We have made ever effort to do the show tonight and was prepared to play, but we are now being told due to the public transit being down and the possibility of the storm worsening, many of our fans will not be able to make the show and we would hate to risk that happening, so the show is being postponed to February the 19th.

"Thank you for your understanding."

- Gojira

The NEW date for this show is Tuesday, February 19th. All tickets will be honored, as mentioned above.

DEVIN TOWNSEND Updates Fans About Tonight's New York City Show With GOJIRA & The Atlas Moth!

As the tri-state area of the United States awaits a pretty massive winter storm, a blizzard warning is in effect starting on Friday, February 8 at 6 AM ET and end at on 1 PM ET on Saturday, February 9, the big question a lot of headbangers have is whither or not the concert featuring GOJIRA, THE DEVIN TOWNSEND PROJECT, and THE ATLAS MOTH, will happen or not. The concert is scheduled to take place tonight at Irving Place in New York City.

Heavy Devy has released the following update regarding tonight's sold out concert:

"We're well aware that a pesky blizzard is expecting to hit the NY area tomorrow and at this point we are unsure what this will mean for the Irving Plaza show. Looks like the bands will be able to get there before the storm hits but if there's an official travel warning put out for cars and trains it may be cancelled by the promoter anyway. We also need to make sure that the bands are able to get out to play the rest of the tour so it's all a bit messy at the moment.

"We'll be having a talk with the promoter in the A.M. EST and will take it from there. More news to follow soon..."


Finger crossed! And stay tuned as more information becomes available.

KATAKLYSM Hire ZEUSS To Mix/Master Their Upcoming Album - Statement Available!

KATAKLYSM has enlisted the help of world renowned producer/engineer Zeuss (HATEBREED, SUFFOCATION, CHIMAIRA, ALL THAT REMAINS), to mix and master the their forthcoming album due tentatively in the Fall of 2013. The new album just like the bands previous recordings, will be engineered by the bands guitarist Jean-Francois Dagenais @ JFD Studios in Montreal (Canada) & Texas ( USA). The recording sessions are slated to begin in June/July of this year.
 
Commented vocalist Maurizio Iacono: "It's time for KATAKLYSM to make a change and challenge ourselves a bit more when it comes trying out new sounds. I think it's healthy to explore other avenues at this stage in our career, and Zeuss has worked with some bands we really like such as HATEBREED and SUFFOCATION. When it comes to full blown power and making each instrument flow together in harmony, Zeuss is one of the top producers out there. We're confident he can deliver what the band is seeking to accomplish and the sound we want on the next album."

"I have been watching and listening to KATAKLYSM over the years and finally our paths will meet for their NEW record," added Chris Harris aka. Zeuss. "I look forward to a NEW chapter in KATAKLYSM history."

KATAKLYSM recently released a multidisc DVD entitled 'The Iron Will: 20 Years Determined' on July 3 2012 via Nuclear Blast Records. The DVDs features a documentary, live shows and bonus CD materials including a NEW track and “best of” compilation. The DVD set depicts the ups and downs of the band's long, turbulent career, as well as footage of KATAKLYSM's performance at last year's Summer Breeze festival, which took place August 18-20, 2011 in Dinkelsbühl, Germany.

KATAKLYSM’s latest album, 'Heaven’s Venom', was released on August 24th 2010 in North America and sold around 2,400 copies in the United States in its first week of release. The CD landed at position No. 7 on the Top New Artist Albums (Heatseekers) chart and #196 on the Billboard Top Current Albums chart, making it the bands highest charting album and their biggest first week sales to date. Heatseekers lists the best-selling albums by NEW and developing artists, defined as those who have never appeared in the Top 100 of The Billboard 200.

Devin describes the "Retinal Circus" as: "a retrospective of my career in music to date, with the central theme being a metaphor of how life and the adventures therein are a 'circus' of sorts. The show involves a cast of characters and guests that support this theme through carnival type performances. A story about how a troubled young man dreams of fantastic scenarios, (illustrated through the music of my back catalogue), which ultimately crests in the characters realization that life is all about the relationships we have with each other. This is the first opportunity I have been given to make theatrical representations of my music."

This three hour plus performance will include:

- A retrospective of Devin Townsend's entire career
- Full choir and theatrical cast
