Gojira | Devin Townsend Project | The Atlas Moth January 31, 2013

Regardless of medium, it’s important to ponder humanity’s place and function in the universe when a forum exists. Whether or not an answer is reached remains up to the audience’s discretion. It’s essentially about the journey, not the destination. On its fifth album and first for Roadrunner Records, L’Enfant Sauvage, French heavy metal goliaths Gojira certainly ask their fair share of questions. The title, which literally means “The wild child,” connotes a big question for singer, songwriter, and guitarist Joe Duplantier. “When you become a musician, you don’t have a boss telling you what to do so you have to be very responsible,” he affirms. “With freedom comes responsibility so I’m asking myself, ‘What is freedom? What does it mean to me?’ L’Enfant Sauvage reflects on that. There’s no answer though. There’s just life and questions.”
