Gojira Enter Recording Studio In New York City - Photos Available!

The members of French progressive Heavy Metal band Gojira, have entered a New York City studio to record their sixth studio album. This is great news for a band that has been dealing with some hard times lately.

At current time the band is without a label, and the hard drive where they had most of their new EP "Sea Sheperd" recorded crashed earlier this year. The highly anticipated EP is set to be released in early 2012, and it features guest appearances by Devin Townsend (Strapping Young Lad), Fredrik Thordental (Meshuggah), Randy Blythe (Lamb Of God), Anders Fridén (In Flames) and Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Cavalera Conspiracy, Sepultura).

Here is a statement from Gojira's vocalist/guitarist Joseph Duplantier, regarding the bands vision behind the creative process for their new musical direction. (Courtesy of Terrorizer Magazine)

"I've been about spirituality since the first album. It's hard to define what spirituality is, but it's more like getting closer to [oneself]. It's where each thing we do is sacred; not like going to a church or when you are with a dying person, but waking up in the morning… I've tried to take this dimension when I've written the music, like sometimes I don't even know what I'm going to sing and the words come out fluently. It's not a concept album like in the past, it's more about being spontaneous with feeling, and it's more true and honest."
