Gojira released the single "Our Time Is New" this Friday, the 14th. The track is part of the soundtrack for the EA Sports NHL 23 , which has just been released.
Speaking about the song, guitarist and vocalist Joseph Duplantier commented: “This song is for all the fighters out there, lighting a light in a dark world.” He further added: “If you care about something meaningful to you and your community. If you are standing up for a cause, if you show compassion and solidarity for those whose rights are taken away, if you are in a war defending your inherent rights or fighting deforestation, if you are defending animal rights, human rights, you are the lightning, the spark that will shape our world. Your time is now! Our time is now!”
Joseph also commented on the demonstrations currently taking place in Iran: “Rest in peace, young Masha Amini. She was killed in Tehran for not wearing her hijab 'properly' by the 'morality police,' and may all the victims of brutality during the protests that followed her death rest in peace. We support the women of Iran in their struggle, for standing up against oppression.”
