Recorded at the band’s own Silver Cord Studio in Ridgewood, Queens, New York, ‘Magma’ is produced, mixed and engineered by Gojira. It is the first of Gojira’s albums to be recorded at Silver Cord, their new NYC headquarters which brothers Joe and Mario Duplantier began building out by hand in 2014.
Gojira – brothers Joe Duplantier [vocals, guitar] and Mario Duplantier [drums], Christian Andreu [guitar], and Jean-Michel Labadie [bass] – are set to perform in the UK this Summer, at the Download Festival in June and Bloodstock Open Air Festival in August.
