Gojira Bring the Rapture in “Silvera”
French metal band Gojira have released the second single from their upcoming album Magma in the form of “Silvera”. The video, which was directed by Drew Cox, shows the band performing on top of a building in a large city, all while people start floating up into the air. There are other strange visuals, such as a woman dancing amongst white powder and clad as though she were a cloud herself.
“Silvera” follows the band’s first single, which was “Stranded“. Vocalist/guitarist Joe Duplantier spoke of the new album, stating, “We are very excited to release our new album ‘Magma’. We put everything we had into these songs. This album is our flesh and blood.”
Magma comes out June 17th. It can be pre-ordered right here.
Lyrics:
quit moaning about fate and change
stand up on your feet and rise
with every fall you get the pain, you learn the lesson
start now, open your eyesdead bodies falling from the sky
we are the ape with the vision of the killing
a rain of shame that fills the mines
no other blood in me but minetime to open your eyes to this genocide
when you clear your mind you see it all
you’re receiving the gold of a better life
when you change yourself, you change the worldyour heart is pounding in the brain
as they drag you naked in the mud
a devil’s dancing in the rain
how could you fall so low?no! we will never let go!
let us watch them die!time to open your eyes to this genocide
when you clear your mind you see it all
you’re receiving the gold of a better life
when you change yourself, you change the world
[H/T Rolling Stone]
It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
