Rock in Rio: Gojira brings his introspective metal Mundo to the stage


Singer Joe Duplantier made music to warn of deforestation in the Amazon

the French band Gojira, the second to climb the Mundo Stage on Friday evening (2), at Rock in Rio, showed his strength, but to be seen, without fanfare. Their so-called progressive death metal has emotional outbursts, a lot of weight, but many moments of introspection. The public was often dispersed. It does not matter. His loyal audience, while not going to moshs and headbanging, knew all that was going on.

Gojira was on the Mundo Stage seven years ago, and few people bet they would see them again because they looked like some kind of underdog in the middle of a metal shark night. But the band remains on the rise, has important Grammy nominations thanks to the album Magmaand has become one of the most prominent groups in the heavier doa family.

One of the songs shown by the French was in honor of the Amazon. This is a criticism made by singer Joe Duplantier, who said he was “afraid of the future of humanity” after seeing the forests burn. Trace Amazon ended up being nominated for a 2022 Grammy for Best Metal Performance.
