Fresh off BLOODSTOCK’s inaugural Winter Gathering, this holiday season BLOODSTOCK gifts metalheads something seriously heavy: five exclusive, newly released, pro-shot videos from GOJIRA’s earth-shaking 2025 headline performance, individually re-engineered with the band’s sound engineer to create the best and heaviest listening experience possible. Dropping across the holiday period, these live cuts capture the French titans at full power – a perfect festive binge for fans hungry for riffs.
Your essential festive viewing includes “Stranded,” the groove-driven anthem from their 2016 released Magma opus, which airs first, blazing with the ferocity that made it a modern classic. “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!),” which made waves after the band’s blistering performance during the Paris 2024 Olympic opening ceremony, drops next. “Only Pain” follows, also taken from Magma, and showcases GOJIRA’s signature blend of precision and emotional weight. Next, the band’s crushing take on “Under The Sun,” performed earlier this year at the special Back To The Beginning celebration, delivers a bold, sludgy tribute to the iconic Black Sabbath. Finally, “The Gift Of Guilt,” the soaring, cathartic fan favourite from their 2012 critically acclaimed album L’Enfant Sauvage, wraps up the year with the kind of emotional punch only GOJIRA can deliver.
Tracks will premiere at 6pm GMT on the following dates:
19/12/25 – “Stranded”
22/12/25 – “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)”
24/12/25 – “Only Pain”
26/12/25 – “Under The Sun” (Black Sabbath cover)
28/12/25 – “The Gift Of Guilt”
