So call it whatever you want: an ecological thought, a politically correct speech, a 50% new age and 50% hippy mentality. Even though the music had already changed, the way of doing things stayed the same. GODZILLA might have been a big green monster smashing down cardboard buildings, taken from Japanese science-fiction films from the 60s deemed out of style today, but it was also a metaphor about the threat of nuclear weapons with which man plays, unconscious of the consequences.ĭue to legal rights, GODZILLA changed its name to GOJIRA right before their first album,2001's "Terra Incognita".GOJIRA is in fact the Japanese translation of its original name. But even through the thinnest booklet of their first demo cover issued under the predictable title "Possessed" there still emerged the first signs of their future emancipation. (Joe on guitar/lead vocals and Mario on drums) and their band fellows Jean-Michel LABADIE (on bass) and Christian ANDREU (guitar) were less than sophisticated. The motivations of the DUPLANTIER brothers GOJIRA was formed in 1996 in a garage near Bayonne - South East of France - under the original moniker GODZILLA. Founded in Ondres, France in 1996 (as Godzilla) - Renamed in 2001 - Still active as of 2019
