FROM MARS TO SIRIUS

Originally released in 2005, The Legendary album From Mars to Sirius put Gojira on the path to Worldwide stardom. Now having reached its 20th anniversary, this classic album is still a massively Heavy Monster! From Mars to Sirius concept relates the resurrection of a dead planet through an interplanetary quest, tackling environmental issues such as climate change and impacts on marine life as well as broader themes of life, death, and rebirth. Explaining the meaning behind the album title, Joe Duplantier (vocals) said in an interview that In some cultures, Mars symbolizes war and Sirius peace. (...) it can be a war within us, in our flesh, in our mind, a war with ourselves. The song Flying Whales is a homage to whales and their intelligence. The concept emerged during the second albums tour and resulted in the imagery and artwork for From Mars to Sirius. The cover art was created by Joe Duplantier. It has since been ranked amongst the Rolling Stones 100 Greatest Metal Albums of All Time and considered as a masterpiece. It is now released as a 20th anniversary Limited Edition de Luxe double gatefold Zoetrope picture disc with exclusive and never seen band photos.
