Last week saw French experimental groove metallers Gojira release Fortitude, their most accessible and nuanced album to date. Now, the band are celebrating by announced a North American tour for this October, with hardcore upstarts Knocked Loose and New Zealand Maori metallers Alien Weaponry taking part.
“We’ve all been itching to go overseas,” said Alien Weaponry, and it’s awesome to finally be able to tour abroad again. Gojira are one of our favorite bands, and we are super stoked to have been asked. See you all there!”
