Gojira

"Stranded" (video)

After many years, French metal unit Gojira are about to release a new album. But before they pour their Magma out in full, the quartet are previewing the set with a creepy and crushing new video for the record's "Stranded."

On the band's side of things, we're treated to a viciously chugged and effects-warped lick in the intro, and a song that mixes stomped beats with a bit of melodicism. Visually, we see them crank out the cut in foggy room.

The short film also works an exorcism angle, with a gooey anointment awaking a woman who is more than able to walk around a room like a wicked crab. There's also extreme egg-cracking, face-painted rituals, and a flaming finale to behold.

As previously reported, Magma officially seeps out of speakers June 17 via Roadrunner.
