Blood cannons, a beheaded Marie Antoinette, opera, boats, castles and heavy fucking metal. If you haven't seen the full history-making performance of Gojira at this year's Olympics Opening Ceremony in Paris, check it out HERE.
Gojira's drummer Mario Duplantier has further commented on this monumental experience in a recent Instagram post following the band themselves calling it a "once in a lifetime experience":
"What a tremendous honor to be part of this ambitious and epic ceremony in Paris. I have to admit that headbanging in front of a billion people, hitting as hard as I could in a revolutionary scenery made of fire and blood, was a very gratifying experience! A big step for the metal community as well. Special thx to the coolest @victor_le_masne and @daphneburki"
