During an interview with Bloodstock TV, Gojira drummer Mario Duplantier offered an update on the band’s new album. According to him, the effort will be released in 2026.
Duplantier said the following:
“We already did record some drums and guitars and basses.
It took us a long time. We needed that time, I think, just to make sure we are all on the same page, make sure what is Gojira is bringing next is strong enough. Also, we don’t have that much pressure. We are not a young band anymore. We’re not like Sleep Token or Lorna Shore where the next album is so important. We’ve been a band for 30 years, so GOJIRA is already an established band. It doesn’t mean that we can be lazy — it doesn’t mean that — but it’s very crucial to take the time to bring something fresh and new and powerful.
For the new songs, we took so much time just to make sure everything is fine and powerful enough and — I don’t know — smart enough as well. But it’s on the way, it’s on the way. 2026, for sure.”
