As well as earning the metallers a Grammy, the\n\nalbum has been described as one of their best yet.\n\n“They sound tighter and more consistent on EMPEROR OF THE SAND than\nbefore, with not a subpar song to be found and a heady concept to allow for\n\nthe songs to develop in unexpected, epic heights”\n\n- Sputnik Music\n\n“These consistently strong new songs… are a solid, thoughtful entry from a\nband whose genre-crossing, time-bending blend of hardcore, doom, and prog\nmetal has earned them a rightful place among the upper echelon of the metal\n\nelite”\n\n- Consequence of Sound\n\nLike Mastodon, Gojira’s last album MAGMA also received Grammy love in\n2016 when it was nominated for ‘Best Rock Album’, with their song ‘Silvera’\n\nup for ‘Best Metal Performance’.\n\n“Gojira’s sixth full-length LP is their most accessible release yet, melodically\n\nimmediate and charged with emotion”\n\n- Pitchfork\n\n“MAGMA finds Joe [Duplantier], his drummer brother Mario, guitarist Christian\nAndreu and bassist Jean-Michel Labadie veering abruptly away from the\ntechnical death-metal that has largely defined their discography, while\nexploring new ground (for them, at least) in the realms of atmospheric,\n\ngroove-oriented hard rock”\n- Rolling Stone\n\nNew Zealand’s very-own metal stalwarts Just One Fix will also join the bill.\nThe band has been raising hell since they first emerged on the local scene in\n\n1999.\n\nRounding out the metal-fest is Auckland prog-rockers, Mothra.\nDon’t miss your chance to see four mighty metal acts - Mastodon, Gojira,\nJust One Fix and Mothra - back-to- back, one night only, at Trusts Arena in\n\nAuckland on Saturday, March 31.\n\nTickets on sale from Thursday, February 15, at 9.00am at www.ticketek.com
