This is exciting news. Way back in April, Gojira fontman Joe Duplantier spoke out during a French news report (viewable above) that the band would be heading into the studio over the summer to record an 5 track EP, from which the proceeds will benefit the anti-whaling organization Sea Shepherd. Summer came and went and we heard nothing of this EP. Well, looks like things were pushed back a little, because Gojira just blogged that they will be entering the studio next week with producer Logan Mader (former Machine Head guitarist, recorded Cavalera Conspiracy). As a long-time Gojira fan, this is incredibly exciting news. Here is the band's official statement off their Myspace blog:
Gojira will be in Los Angeles next week in the studio with Logan Mader, recording an EP to support the action of Sea Shepherd led by Paul Watson. A lot of people are showing their support already. We'll have very special guests singing on these 4 songs. We'll keep you posted !Cheers
If you just can't wait, check out over an hour of pro-shot Gojira concert footage that we posted back in July.
