Watch Gojira’s New Music Video for “The Shooting Star”

Isn’t it great for us fans that Gojira are being given real budgets for music videos? Such is the treatment a major label affords one of its marquis bands! Already we’ve been treated to two gorgeous, trippy and engaging videos from Magma — “Low Lands” and “Silvera” — and today we get one for “The Shooting Star.” An embarrassment of riches! Nary a warehouse or grassy field to be spotted anywhere near.

Like its two predecessors, “The Shooting Star” is full of eye candy: surreal, CGI animated landscapes, trippy visual effects, and close-up footage of the band performing. The coloring is super eerie and saturated, and kinda reminiscent of early-mid ’90s grunge videos… I wonder if that’s what director and animator Markus Hofko was going for? Either way, video rules. Watch below.

Gojira head out for their North American headlining tour this week! Dates here.
