“Gojira’s groundbreaking performance at the 2024 Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony has set a new precedent for heavy metal on a global stage. As the first metal band to grace the Olympic Opening Ceremony, Gojira delivered a striking rendition of the revolutionary anthem “Ah! Ça Ira,” accompanied by a theatrical portrayal of a decapitated Marie Antoinette. This bold performance, which took place at the historic Conciergerie, featured explosive pyrotechnics and a unique blend of metal and opera, showcasing the band’s signature aggressive sound alongside mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti. Gojira’s frontman, Joe Duplantier, expressed the immense responsibility of representing the metal genre, emphasizing the need for originality and hope in their performance. This moment not only captivated audiences but also sparked discussions about the role of heavy metal in mainstream culture, marking a significant milestone for both the band and the genre itself.” (Perplexity)
