French progressive metallers GOJIRA have released a professionally filmed video of their performance of the song "Global Warming", shot at their December 10, 2025 concert in Lyon, France during a tour of their home country.
The clip, which was directed and edited by Errick Easterday, can be seen below.
This comes after GOJIRA guitarist/vocalist Joseph Duplantier underwent "minor surgery" on his right hand prior to the start of GOJIRA's November/December 2025 tour of France, rendering him unable to play guitar on the trek.
As a result of his injury, he and his bandmates hired Greg Kubacki of the New York-based mathcore act CAR BOMB to play guitar for GOJIRA on the tour, which concluded on December 12, 2025 in Strasbourg.
GOJIRA drummer Mario Duplantier spoke to Bloodstock TV's Oran O’Beirne about the progress of the songwriting and recording sessions for the follow-up to the French progressive metallers' 2021 album "Fortitude".
He said: “We already did record some drums and guitars and basses.
It took us a long time.
We needed that time, I think, just to make sure we are all on the same page, make sure what is GOJIRA is bringing next is strong enough," he explained.
“Also, we don’t have that much pressure.
We’re not like SLEEP TOKEN or LORNA SHORE where the next album is so important.
We’ve been a band for 30 years, so GOJIRA is already an established band.
It doesn’t mean that we can be lazy — it doesn’t mean that — but it’s very crucial to take the time to bring something fresh and new and powerful,” Mario added: “For the new songs, we took so much time just to make sure everything is fine and powerful enough and — I don’t know — smart enough as well.
But it’s on the way, it’s on the way.
2026, for sure.” The band concluded a month-long fundraising initiative in support of the indigenous-owned NGO The Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB) who advocate for environmental and cultural rights of indigenous tribes in the Amazon.
Working with the social good-focused digital platform Propeller, the charitable campaign raised over $300,000 through an auction and raffle of one-of-a-kind items from the band and their friends in METALLICA, TOOL, SLIPKNOT, SLAYER, Slash and more.
All proceeds were donated to APIB to support their work aiding the indigenous tribes of the Amazon who have suffered immensely — victims of deforestation, land loss, forced labor, violence, and harassment.
