Gojira release new song ‘Our Time Is Now’

GOJIRA have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Our Time Is Now, is the brand new single from the French metal band and marks their first new music since Fortitude, which was released back in April. Originally recorded during the Fortitude sessions, the new song evolved into a deeply affecting and vital song for the band who decided it should receive its own standalone release.

Speaking about the new single, guitarist/vocalist Joe Duplantier says, “this song goes out to all the fighters out there sparking a light in a dark world, urging ‘show that you are part of a change!’. If you care about something meaningful to you and your community. If you are standing for a cause, if you show compassion and solidarity for the ones whose rights are taken away, if you’re in a war defending your inherent rights or fighting against deforestation, if you’re standing for animal rights, human rights, you are the lightning bolt, the spark that will shape our world. Your time is now! Our time is now!”

In solidarity with the women of the Iranian uprising, Duplantier adds, “Rest In Peace young Masha Amini. She was killed in Teheran for not wearing her hijab ‘properly’ by the ‘morality police’ and Rest In Peace all victims of brutalities during the protests that followed her death. We support the women of Iran in their fight, for taking a stand against oppression.”
