Gojira selected for his metal reinterpretation of the revolutionary song “Ah, ça ira”

Will Gojira hype experience a new rebound in 2025? The French metal group, whose fame has exploded since this unforgettable “picture” of the French Revolution proposed during the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games with Opera singer Marina Viotti, to the tune of the song “Ah, It’ll be fine,” he learned Friday that he was among the Grammy nominees.

Gojira will compete in the best live metal performance of the year category on February 2 in Los Angeles, alongside very serious clients like Judas Priest, Knocked Loose and Poppy, Spiritbox and especially Metallica for the song Screaming Suicide.

Just for the close-up rebroadcast of the head of a decapitated Marie-Antoinette, we can’t wait to be there, especially since this time, Thomas Jolly will not have to justify himself as he had to do last summer, shortly after the metal “sequence” of the ceremony: “I wanted to be theatrical by paying homage to grand guignol theatricality. We pushed the makeup. You can see that everything is plastic. We are truly in an artistic representation and certainly not in a glorification of this instrument of death that was the guillotine.”
