[Première diffusion le 6 février 2025] Les français du groupe de métal Gojira ont reçu le dimanche 2 février 2025 un Grammy award à Los Angeles, pour leur performance pendant la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux olympiques de Paris. Ils partagent ce prix avec la chanteuse lyrique Marina Viotti, qui les accompagnait dans cette époustouflante reprise du chant révolutionnaire « Ah ! Ça ira ! ».Gojira a été lancé en 1996 par Jo et Mario Duplantier, deux frères originaires d'un petit village des Landes. Peu connus d'une grande partie du public en France, leur passion et leur travail pendant 30 ans les ont amenés au sommet.

Brisbane is about to get hit by an absolute wall of sonic destruction. The third annual Necrosonic Festival is locking and loading for its most brutal ritual yet, taking over the legendary Mansfield Tavern on Saturday, August 22, 2026. We are talking 12-plus hours of pure, unadulterated musical chaos spread across three massive stages. While the international heavyweights in Rivers of Nihil and local tech-death royalty Psycroptic are rightfully drawing plenty of attention, it is the deeper, darker corners of this stacked Australian lineup where the real magic happens. Enter Barriers.Hailing from the southern heavy hotbeds of Adelaide and Melbourne, this crushing four-piece outfit does not just play heavy music—they manipulate it. They have engineered a sonic identity that stands defiantly apart from the standard cookie-cutter template. By blending the progressive complexity of Meshuggah, the expansive, atmospheric dread of Cult of Luna, and the sheer, mid-paced tectonic groove of Gojira, Barriers have created a monster. It is raw, minimal, and completely unsettling.If you have spun their debut EP, Decay, you already know the band relies heavily on dark contrasts. They masterfully balance suffocating doom with sudden, violent bursts of death metal intensity. Frontman and producer Kyle Bloksgaard injects a vocal dynamic that handles deeply personal torment just as easily as it spits socio-political venom. At HEAVY, we love throwing down a challenge. We sent out our traditional Q&A sheet to the entire Necrosonic lineup, warning every band that a failure to reply meant buying the HEAVY crew a beer at the venue. While we were quietly hoping to score a mountain of free pints, the Barriers boys ruined our plans by being some of the very first to get back to us! They are hungry, they are focused, and they are ready to lay waste to Brisbane. Do not sleep on this set.HEAVY spoke with Kyle to get the lowdown.Necrosonic tickets and more information: https://necrosonicfestival.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.
Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome comic book creator Gerald Goodwin Jr into the Snurdyverse for a bonus episode built around his series Kairu, Slayer of Kaiju. Gerald walks through the premise of a twelve year old granted a symbiotic alien suit that reacts to his emotional state, and traces the idea back to influences including Neon Genesis Evangelion, Blue Beetle, and the classic Stan Lee era of Spider-Man. The conversation moves into his lifelong Godzilla fandom, touching on the Monsterverse films, Godzilla Minus One, the original 1954 Gojira, and Godzilla vs Mothra, along with the atomic bomb metaphor built into the earliest kaiju films. Gerald also breaks down why the kaiju villains in his own comic represent real struggles like anxiety, self doubt, and guilt.Anime comes up as well, with Gerald crediting Toonami for shaping his early taste and naming My Hero Academia, Attack on Titan, and Dragon Ball among his favorites. Gerald shows rough storyboard art from the upcoming issue six of Kairu for the first time in any interview, revealing a new character they nickname Mr. Steel Yubbage. The episode closes with the recurring mental health check in, a Big Mad segment covering topics like the reception of the Supergirl film and Hollywood's pattern of misreading what made Barbie successful, and a Happy segment where Pop-Tarts and Ratatouille both make an appearance.Connect with the Snerdy CrewWatch, Listen, or Sponsor the show: https://beacons.ai/blackandsnerdy

Eigentlich sollte sich Leise War Gestern gerade in der Sommerpause befinden. Da ihr aber auch bei hohen Temperaturen weiterhin fleißig zuhört, haben wir unsere Pause kurzerhand wieder abgesagt. Für Kai und Simon bedeutet das zugleich eine Premiere: Zum ersten Mal führen die beiden ganz ohne Flo und ohne Gäste gemeinsam durch eine komplette Folge.Im Themenroulette wartet direkt ein Thema mit reichlich Diskussionspotenzial: Metal meets Kommerz. Wann ist eine Band erfolgreich und wann gilt sie in der Szene plötzlich als kommerziell? Kai und Simon sprechen über Authentizität, große Bühnen, Neid innerhalb der Musikszene und die Frage, warum wirtschaftlicher Erfolg noch lange nicht bedeuten muss, dass eine Band ihre Glaubwürdigkeit verloren hat.Natürlich bleibt es nicht ausschließlich bei der Musik. Die beiden schweifen in Richtung Film und moderne Unterhaltung ab und fragen sich, warum es immer schwieriger wird, neue Filme zu finden, die wirklich begeistern. Ist auch hier die Kommerzialisierung schuld oder sind die eigenen Erwartungen einfach zu hoch geworden?Im zweiten Teil wird es nostalgisch. Die Musik der 2000er erlebt aktuell ein gewaltiges Comeback und Bands wie Limp Bizkit scheinen heute teilweise erfolgreicher zu sein als jemals zuvor. Gleichzeitig steigen die Ticketpreise für große Konzerte immer weiter. Kai und Simon diskutieren darüber, wann ein Konzertbesuch zum Luxus wird und warum Live-Musik grundsätzlich für möglichst viele Menschen zugänglich bleiben sollte.Zum Abschluss geht es auf die einsame Insel. Welche Alben dürfen mit, wenn man sich für wenige musikalische Begleiter entscheiden muss? Auf der Kandidatenliste landen unter anderem Limp Bizkits Chocolate Starfish And The Hot Dog Flavored Water, Gojiras From Mars To Sirius und Ayreons Konzeptalbum The Human Equation. Drei völlig unterschiedliche Werke, die zeigen, wie persönlich die Verbindung zu einem Album sein kann.Themen dieser Folge:• Die abgesagte Sommerpause• Kai und Simon erstmals allein am Mikrofon• Metal zwischen Authentizität und Kommerz• Erfolg, Neid und Glaubwürdigkeit in der Musikszene• Bands, die direkt auf großen Bühnen starten• Moderne Filme und enttäuschende Unterhaltung• Das Comeback der Musik aus den 2000ern• Limp Bizkit zwischen Nostalgie und neuem Erfolg• Steigende Ticketpreise bei Konzerten• Musik als zugängliches Kulturgut• Die perfekten Alben für eine einsame Insel• Limp Bizkit, Gojira und AyreonHosts:Kai R. und Simon U.Kapitelübersicht:00:00 Ein herzliches Moin Moin02:59 Themenroulette: Metal meets Kommerz14:52 Authentizität und Kommerz im Metal23:58 Filme und die Herausforderungen moderner Unterhaltung25:08 Die Rückkehr der Musik aus den 2000ern30:32 Ticketpreise und Konzertkosten34:10 Einsame Insel: Welches Album würdest du mitnehmen?43:26 Musikalische Meisterwerke und persönliche FavoritenWelche Alben würdet ihr mit auf eine einsame Insel nehmen?

On this episode of Conversations With Carswell, I sit down with Errick Easterday, one of the most prominent photographers and videographers in the metal scene worldwide. Even if you do not know his name, you have almost certainly seen his work over the past decade through a music video, a promo shot, or live concert photography. As I write this, he is on tour with Knocked Loose and Metallica across Europe, and he has toured extensively with Gojira and countless other bands around the world.Errick and I go back over a decade, so this conversation felt personal. We get deep into the technical side of the craft, discussing gear, software, and technique across both photography and videography. We cover the behind-the-scenes details that rarely get talked about, along with how he built a career shooting some of the biggest names in metal and where it all started for the two of us. This is truly one of my favorite conversations to date.
In the spring of 1954, a Japanese fishing vessel called the Lucky Dragon No. 5 sailed into the fallout zone of an American hydrogen bomb test at Bikini Atoll. Its crew came home irradiated, and Japan, a nation still raw from Hiroshima and Nagasaki less than a decade earlier, found itself confronting nuclear terror all over again.Within months, Toho producer Tomoyuki Tanaka, with a collapsed co-production and an empty budget to fill, conceived a monster movie. What emerged from that collision of commercial necessity and national grief was Gojira (aka Godzilla); a film in which director Ishirō Honda, effects genius Eiji Tsuburaya, and a nation's unspoken anguish combined to create something cinema had never quite seen before. The character of Godzilla has evolved over 70 years, embodying contemporary fears and anxieties in a uniquely artistic way.Godzilla was never simply a creature feature. Honda had walked through the ruins of Hiroshima after the war. When his monster surfaced from the Pacific, awakened and mutated by nuclear testing, and reduced Tokyo to ash and radiation, Japanese audiences weren't watching spectacle. They were watching their own grief and trauma on screen. The hospital scenes, the Geiger counters, the dying children: all of it was modelled on the aftermath of atomic destruction. Even the film's resolution; Dr Serizawa destroying his world-ending weapon and himself along with it, posed a moral question about nuclear responsibility that no Western movie of the era came close to asking.As long as countries continue to test and threat with nuclear weapons, as long as that threat persists, so does Godzilla, as a warning to humanity.Support Verbal DioramaLoved this episode?

Hello and welcome back to the podcast! Starting with this episode, I present another entry in my "Listening To... " sub-series, this time focused on that long running film franchise with a massive pop cultural footprint, GODZILLA! While it's a pop culture reference known the world over, GODZILLA is perhaps best understood by one country and culture, that being Japan and its people. But what does GODZILLA music sound like? We might know it when hear it, but where did it begin? The scaly behemoth has been a towering figure of science fiction and monster movie cinema ever since the original movie, GOJIRA, premiered in Japan in 1954, inadvertently beginning what emerged as a popular sub-genre called "kaiju eiga". During the more than 70 years of big screen adventures, this series has journeyed from apocalyptic, black & white installments, to colorful kid-friendly monster mashes, topical storylines and splashy, big budget epics. Keeping pace with this is a great wealth of musical variety, from a number of talented composers, but the originator of it all is Akira Ifukube, a legend in Japanese film and music circles. It is Ifukube's music for the Showa era that is the focus of this first episode.

Nella seconda puntata della settima stagione di Metalitalia Podcast (S7E2) commentiamo il concerto dei METALLICA allo Stadio Dall'Ara di Bologna del 3 giugno 2026, uno degli eventi simbolo dell'anno che ha visto sul palco anche due band del calibro di KNOCKED LOOSE e GOJIRA.Una serata da record, come dichiarato dagli stessi METALLICA, vista l'affluenza di 47mila persone nell'impianto felsineo. Ma davvero il focus della band è oramai solamente raggiungere record su record o c'è ancora spazio per la musica? La scaletta proposta è quella migliore per il pubblico generalista oppure ci sarebbe spazio per qualche chicca? E infine com'è stato vissuto il concerto nel parterre piuttosto che sugli spalti? Il palco circolare ha funzionato?Parleremo in apertura di puntata anche dello SLAM DUNK svoltosi al Circolo Magnolia di Milano il 1° giugno che ha visto sul palco tra gli altri anche GORILLA BISCUITS e PALEFACE SWISS. Insieme a noi ci sarà la nostra Nyva Zarbano, Conduttrice,Speaker, VJ e DJ.Dal 2025 il METALITALIA PODCAST si trova all'interno del nostro PUB virtuale che trasmette rigorosamente dal vivo sulle nostre piattaforme social. Ci trovate live quindi su YouTube, Facebook e Instagram e – al termine dello streaming – su Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Google Podcasts, Deezer, Spreaker e molti altri.
Bienvenidos, hermanos de la galería nocturna y verdaderos guerreros del metal, a un episodio que nos llena de pura nostalgia y distorsión. Sus anfitriones, JC y Perry, toman los micrófonos para relatar una auténtica odisea hacia tierras alemanas. Ver a una de nuestras bandas favoritas de toda la vida nunca pierde su magia, y esta vez la peregrinación nos llevó hasta el enorme estadio para presenciar a los todopoderosos y más grandes de la esfera del metal. JC llega recién desempacado del viejo continente para contarnos absolutamente todo, sin filtros y con la verdad por delante, sobre esta monumental gira europea. En este capítulo desmenuzamos la potencia de las bandas que acompañaron el cartel, analizando las aplastantes presentaciones de Gojira y Avatar, además de soltar nuestra opinión más cruda y directa sobre el controversial tributo a Pantera. Hablamos de la majestuosidad innegable de los jinetes en el escenario, de la gran ejecución y de esa emoción inquebrantable de escuchar en vivo los himnos que han forjado nuestras vidas desde siempre. Pero como en el metal las cosas se dicen de frente y sin rodeos, también destrozamos la terrible logística del recinto, el calor asfixiante bajo esa velaria y la increíble ausencia de servicios básicos para los asistentes. Contrastamos esto con el enorme respeto, educación y hermandad de los fans europeos, quienes nos recibieron con los brazos abiertos y nos demostraron cómo se vive verdaderamente la euforia de un concierto sin recurrir al absurdo y peligroso uso de bengalas. Preparen sus bebidas bien frías, alisten el cuello para sacudir la cabeza y acompáñenos en esta catarsis musical donde, por supuesto, también nos damos tiempo para responder a todos esos comentarios rancios de las redes sociales con nuestro característico estilo. La escena la hacemos todos, así que suban el volumen y dejen que la música hable por sí sola. ¡Nos vemos en la siguiente, donde el metal es vida! #metallica #music #gojira #avatarmetal #LaGaleriaNocturna GothProds Links Spotify -https://open.spotify.com/show/2hnlgkcGNl9GOAPa0WT9HW?si=7e9b95f203464fe6 Apple Podcast — https://podcasts.apple.com/mx/podcast/goth-prods/id1606324255?l=en Amazon Music — https://music.amazon.com.mx/podcasts/d10f63b6-f4f3-4a91-b21d-d98c2b08ca01/goth-prods?ref=dm_sh_xBGgYoDaqnREmWm0IoJu5r4kd Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/Goth-Prods-104237088306624/ Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/goth_prods/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@goth_prods

On today's Metal Breakdown Daily, host Scott Penfold dives into a historic moment for the Prince of Darkness and a disappointing night for heavy music at the AMAs. The Congress of Darkness: In a rare display of bipartisan rock appreciation, the life and legacy of Ozzy Osbourne was officially entered into the U.S. Congressional Record by Representative Victoria Spartz. We break down the tribute to Ozzy's "working-class hero" status and why the U.S. government is officially adopting Jack Osbourne as an honorary "Hoosier." AMA Snub Season: The 2026 American Music Awards took place last night at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and the results have metal fans scratching their heads. Despite massive years from Linkin Park, Sleep Token, and Deftones, the rock categories were swept by pop-rockers Twenty One Pilots and breakthrough artist sombr. We discuss why the mainstream industry continues to overlook metal's massive chart and touring dominance. Wherever They May Roam: Knocked Loose are conquering Europe alongside Metallica and Gojira, and they're taking fans behind the scenes. We check out their new web series documenting their largest tour to date, from headlining club shows to massive stadium stages in Berlin and Zurich. In This Episode: Ozzy Osbourne: A deep dive into the Congressional Record tribute. AMAs 2026: A full breakdown of the Rock/Alternative winners and snubs.

From Astro Boy to Gundam to real-world robots like ASIMO and Pepper, Japan's fascination with robots runs deep. This week, the Krewe is joined by author, cultural commentator, & robot enthusiast Matt Alt to explore how robots became heroes instead of threats in Japanese pop culture and how those sci-fi dreams quietly shaped Japan's modern relationship with technology, AI, and everyday automation. From giant mecha and cyborg icons to robot cafés and beyond, we dig into why Japan seems so comfortable living alongside machines in an episode that's equal parts nostalgia, culture, and future tech.------ About the Krewe ------The Krewe of Japan Podcast is a weekly episodic podcast sponsored by the Japan Society of New Orleans.

Show Notes What if Hamlet, but lions. We watched the 1994 classic The Lion King and enjoyed the emotions inherently available in animated faces that simply cannot be duplicated in “live action.” Elton John thought the movie was ruined because his beautiful song was sung by a meerkat, but joke's on him, it was a genius move. Sometimes you gotta have a creepy little guy sing to the main characters to get them to fall in love.
