New Gojira Songbook, Online Store and North American Tour Dates
At Gojira’s website (www.gojira-music.com), the band’s new online store (http://gojira.jaitoutdonne.com) boasts more than a dozen T-shirts, plus a couple hooded sweatshirts and a bonnet cap. The merch also includes Gojira’s first songbook—an illustrated 135-page guide to October 2008 fourth album The Way of All Flesh, complete with exclusive photos and drawings of the band. In standard notation, tablature, chord charts and lyrics, the book dissects album tracks “Oroborus,” “Toxic Garbage Island,” “A Sight to Behold,” “Yama’s Messengers,” “The Silver Cord,” “All the Tears,” “The Art of Dying,” “Esoteric Surgery,” “Vacuity,” “Wolf Down the Earth” and “The Way of All Flesh.” Finally, Messrs. Joe Duplantier (guitar, vocals), Mario Duplantier (drums), Christian Andreu (guitar) and Jean-Michel Labadie (bass) have announced dates for their first North American headlining tour this spring, supported by the Chariot and Car Bomb.
