Gojira’s incredible – and definitely not Satanic – Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony cover has today hit streaming services!

After breaking the rock and metal internet last month with their performance alongside opera singer Marina Viotti – and a headless Marie Antoinette – in the French capital, the quartet have now made the cover, Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!), available on Spotify, Apple Music and more.

Enjoy…

In an interview after their Olypmic appearance, frontman Joe Duplantier said that Gojira would be using their newfound attention for good (would you really expect anything less?).

“We were very, very honoured to be part of this,” said the singer/guitarist. “Not for one second did We think, ‘We’re gonna disrupt this or use this to hijack it and spread the message.’ We’re musicians; we have a career. We’re extremely honoured, and we thought it was a great thing for the metal community. So we simply played the game and did our best to make it look fabulous. But it doesn’t mean we don’t have things to say, and I’m simply going to use the buzz around the band to maybe spread a few ideas here and there.”
