The first song from 2016’s most-anticipated metal album is here. The slow groove and melodic chorus of ‘Stranded’ make for some of Gojira’s most accessible music to date. At the same time, the guitarists’ lightspeed chug and searing high squeals live up to frontman Joe Duplantier’s promise that the album would contain “Pantera-ish” riffs. So far, ‘Stranded’ and Magma live up to incredibly high expectations.
Magma is due June 17.
