AMH TV conducted an interview with drummer Mario Duplantier of French progressive metallers GOJIRA during this year's Soundwave festival in Australia. You can now watch the chat below.Asked about the progress of the songwriting sessions for GOJIRA's follow-up to 2012's "L'Enfant Sauvage", Mario said: "Right now we're writing some new stuff. We spent two months before this tour, actually, composing new stuff, composing new songs. And we feel very optimistic [about] the future, and we're already enjoying a lot the new stuff. We want to make the strongest album we can do. I mean, all the bands always say they try to make the strongest album, but this time, I think we will really do it."This spring, GOJIRA will release "Les Enfants Sauvages", a limited edition 5" x 7", 60-page hardcover photo book chronicling the band's journey around the world over the last two years, since the release of their critically acclaimed Roadrunner debut, "L'Enfant Sauvage". The images were taken around the globe, spanning over 150 shows on three continents, and were hand-selected by GOJIRA guitarist/vocalist Joseph Duplantier and his brother, drummer Mario Duplantier. The package also includes a live CD and DVD capturing last year's performance at the legendary Brixton Academy in London, England.
