Acclaimed French metal band, Gojira, have unveiled the official music video for their Grammy-nominated single, “Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)”, captured during their jaw-dropping performance at the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.

“Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)” is currently nominated for “Best Metal Performance” at the upcoming 67th Annual Grammy Awards, marking the band’s fourth Grammy nomination to date.

Gojira made history as the first metal band ever to perform at the Olympic Games during this past summer’s star-studded opening ceremony which also included performances by Lady Gaga and Celine Dion. Working with composer Victor le Manse and French-Swiss mezzo-soprano Marina Viotti, the quartet injected their signature heavy riffs and punishing rhythms into the French Revolution-era song “Ah! Ça ira!.” Joined by Viotti and nearly 300 classical musicians, Gojira performed from the windows of Paris’ iconic Concierge amidst a grand spectacle of pyrotechnics, making international headlines and being widely regarded as one of the most talked about moments from the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Gojira recently wrapped up a North American tour providing direct support to Korn, and are in the midst of working on the follow-up to their critically acclaimed 2021 album Fortitude, which featured Grammy-nominated single “Amazonia” and was heralded as one of the best metal albums of the year. They will headline the UK’s Bloodstock Open Air Festival in August 2025.

Deep Purple frontman, Ian Gillan, has announced the February 14 release of the 7CD boxset, Gillan: 1978 – 1982. The set includes studio recordings, a live album and a wealth of B-sides and bonus material.

Limited editions, including a print signed by Ian, are available while stocks last. Pre-order here, and watch a video message from Gillan below.

The new Gillan 7CD box set offers a comprehensive collection of the band’s work during the years from 1978 to 1982, when they rose to prominence in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) scene.

The set includes seven albums from this era, featuring studio recordings, a live album, and a wealth of B-sides and bonus material. The albums featured in this set are as follows: Gillan (The Japanese Album) – Originally released in September 1978, this was the debut of the band formed by Ian Gillan after leaving the Ian Gillan Band. It marked a shift away from jazz fusion to a heavier rock sound. Mr. Universe – Released in 1979, this was a key album that solidified their success, featuring a mix of hard rock and NWOBHM influences. Glory Road – A 1980 release, this album is considered the height of the band’s success, both commercially and musically. Future Shock – Released in 1981, this album continued the band’s momentum, but guitarist Bernie Tormé left shortly afterward. Double Trouble – A double album from 1981 that combined studio tracks and live performances and marked Janick Gers’ debut as guitarist. Magic – Released in 1982, this was the band’s final studio album before they disbanded after their last performance at Wembley Arena in December 1982. Live From Reading ’80 – A live album capturing the band’s powerful live performances at the Reading Festival in 1980.

The collection includes a new interview with Ian Gillan conducted by Rich Davenport, providing deeper insights into the band’s history and the albums. The audio has been remastered from the original tapes where possible, ensuring high-quality sound. The packaging is designed in a 7” x 7” format, with 32-page booklet, offering a unique visual presentation for collectors. This set is a valuable offering for fans of Gillan and collectors of rock history, especially from the era of NWOBHM, showcasing the evolution of a band led by one of rock’s iconic vocalists.

Ice-T has named the one thing he’d change about heavy metal given the chance.

Talking exclusively in the new issue of Metal Hammer, the acclaimed rapper and Body Count frontman says he’d get rid of all the subgenres in metal if he could.

“I’d get rid of all the categories they’ve decided to split rock into,” Ice says. “I got so tired of all these different hybrid categories, I created my own for Body Count: grindhouse. That’s what we do. Other than that, I wouldn’t change much.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the rap and metal figurehead names his favourite album to come from each of the two genres he works in.

“My favourite metal album is the first Black Sabbath album – it’s the one I probably listened to the most growing up,” he reveals. “I’ve actually sampled songs from Sabbath on my rap albums – and rock, too. I used Black Sabbath for [solo rap track] Midnight.”

Ice continues: “So far as my favourite rap album… probably Paid In Full by Eric B & Rakim which came out around the same time I was doing [1987 debut] Rhyme Pays. Or maybe Yo! Bum Rush The Show by Public Enemy. Those records were very important to me, particularly in the creation of the Ice-T records.”

Body Count released latest album Merciless via Century Media on November 22. The album included a cover of the Pink Floyd classic Comfortable Numb, which the band recently performed on national TV during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

Body Count released their self-titled debut album in 1992 and incited international controversy with their single Cop Killer the same year. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Ice said that that controversy did not translate to fatter wallets for he and his bandmates.

“Anybody that thinks controversy is a way to make money, it’s not,” he said. “You get a lot of buzz, but now you need lawyers. So don’t just say something stupid and then back-pedal – if you’re going to say something, stand on it.”

As well as the interview with Ice, the new issue of Metal Hammer offers the essential breakdown of the year in metal. As well as the albums of the year, the magazine revisits Slipknot’s blockbuster anniversary tour, Gojira’s show-stealing Olympic Games performance, Lzzy Hale joining Skid Row, Ghost going Hollywood and so much more.

‘Cause it’s hard to say what’s real/When you know the way you feel,’ emotes Flaming Lips leader Wayne Coyne on One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21 from Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots.

Once seen as the well-executed follow up to the psychedelic oddballs’ true d’oeuvre, 1999’s The Soft Bulletin, the Lips’ 10th now eclipses its predecessor as their go-to masterpiece. Released in 2002, this quirky concept album about pink droids and karate now looks visionary, especially in relation to the unknowns that come with AI and the way the internet dominates people’s lives.

Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots presents several battlegrounds: the tangible versus the surreal, the physical and the metaphysical. The guitars are cut up, diced and laid over a rhythmic groove that almost sounds like a beatbox, pitching analogue against digital.

Most importantly, humanity in all its glorious fallibility is set against pernicious, automated technology, the special ingredient that gives the album its phantasmagorical edge.

The beats might emanate from machines, but they’re bleeding into the red as the hi-hats spit distortion – a decision made by the band in agreement with producer Dave Fridmann.

Even having undergone the full Dolby Atmos treatment for this Blu-ray audio reissue 22 years later, the rhythm tracks remain defiantly lo-fi palimpsests, reassuring us that wrongness can feel so right sometimes. It’s the kind of nuance only humans are capable of understanding – at least for now.

In truth, the robots never stood a chance against Yoshimi (inspired by Yoshimi P-We of Japanese noise outfit the Boredoms) or inveterate existentialist Coyne, reaching out to his audience with childlike wonder: ‘Do you realise that happiness makes you cry?’ he sings on Do You Realize? ‘Do you realise that everyone you know someday will die?’

With Fridmann’s swirling production and Coyne seemingly so tangible he might reach out and touch the listener’s face, it feels daringly emotional – something the robots will never be able to comprehend.

The 2024 edition of Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots is on sale now via Warner/Rhino.

The title of the new Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, is not just a reference to a famous line from Dylan’s “Like a Rolling Stone.” It is the entire thesis of James Mangold’s film in three words. In A Complete Unknown, Mangold’s Dylan arrives in New York City in early 1961 with the clothes on his back, an acoustic guitar, and a name that he chose for himself. He shuffles anonymously through Greenwich Village’s clubs and coffee shops. No one gives this scruffy kid a second look. Not until they hear him play.

Pretty soon, Dylan becomes a Village favorite. Within a few years, he’s an international star, and so big and influential than when he dares to buck the trend toward socially relevant folk music that he helped bring into the mainstream, he’s labeled a Judas by his own fans. But the motivations behind that decision and many others he makes throughout A Complete Unknown are left opaque. As a musician, Dylan is clearly a genius. As a man, he remains a complete unknown.

A biography that reinforces its subject’s mysteries rather than illuminates them is a valid choice for a Dylan film, and one Dylan himself would probably appreciate if he ever gets around to watching A Complete Unknown. But I am not sure it is an entirely rewarding one to the paying customer who goes to see this.

Yes, this movie is well-made. But what, ultimately, does it add to our understanding of Dylan, or to great artists in general? What do we take away from this story, except that Dylan followed his muse, wrote incredible music, and left the rest to others to sort out for themselves? These are questions I am still wrestling with even as I’m writing this review.

I know this much: Timothée Chalamet is genuinely impressive playing (and singing!) the young Bob Dylan. A Complete Unknown is not a biopic like Bradley Cooper’s Maestro, which barely concerned itself with the musical legacy of Leonard Bernstein, and focused instead on his complicated marriage and private life. A Complete Unknown overflows with Dylan music, from “Song For Woody,” strummed by Chalamet’s Dylan in a hospital room for Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy), to “Like a Rolling Stone,” blasted by Dylan and his backing band at the stunned throngs gathered at 1965’s Newport Film Festival.

All of the music is performed by Chalamet, doing a very credible Dylan croon — and doing an even more impressive job of inhabiting Dylan away from the microphone. His tics, his stammers, his evasive glances, his endless obfuscations. Beyond his wild mop of brown hair, Chalamet doesn’t really look much like Dylan. And Dylan is vastly different from ascendant emperor Paul Atreides in Dune, or from the aspiring chocolatier in Wonka. For a guy who  looks basically the same in every single role he takes on, Chalamet sure has developed an impressive chameleonic quality.

Mangold surrounds Chalamet with a terrific ensemble. Edward Norton plays an awed, frustrated Pete Seeger who recognizes the potential in Dylan, and perhaps envies it as well, and tries to guide the young folkie’s career in the ways he would have wanted if he were just coming into his own as an artist in the early ’60s. Elle Fanning plays Sylvie, a fictionalized version of Dylan’s girlfriend in this period, perhaps the last person outside the world of show business who would ever be close to him. And Monica Barbaro plays Joan Baez, who forged a fiery connection with Dylan both on and off-screen.

A Complete Unknown’s screenplay, written by Mangold with frequent Martin Scorsese collaborator Jay Cocks and based on a book by journalist Elijah Wald called Dylan Goes Electric!, charts Dylan’s rise to fame and then his growing interest in rock and roll and pop, much to the consternation of old-school folk singers like Seeger and his colleagues at the Newport Folk Festival. Whether you will get invested in the battle over Dylan’s musical soul may depend on how much you know or care about the man himself, and how much you know about how these events played out in real life.

Beyond them, there isn’t an enormous amount of dramatic tension or suspense in the film. A Complete Unknown is not a traditional take on “The Bob Dylan Story.” It’s more a loving evocation of 1960s New York City, with its smoky bars and chilly dives, and of the wider social and political upheaval that birthed this remarkable talent — who then decided he was more interested in things beyond protest songs and campaigning for civil rights. For Dylan, the times were always a’changing.

So does that justify a movie that adds so little to our understanding of Dylan? A Complete Unknown is beautiful, it’s got a wonderful texture of authenticity, and it’s got one remarkable song after another. (The soundtrack will be incredible … provided you want to hear Timothée Chalamet sing “Girl From the North Country.”) And when the movie was over, I walked out of the theater and thought to myself … “Okay, but, so what?”

I believe Mangold directed the Dylan movie he wanted to, and in some ways A Complete Unknown is interesting precisely because it is a willfully withholding portrait of an enigmatic star. Then again, it’s hard to make a completely satisfying movie about a subject that its director seems to believe cannot be understood.

Additional Thoughts:

-The other key player in this biopic is Johnny Cash, a colleague and admirer of Dylan’s — and the protagonist of a previous James Mangold movie biopic, Walk the Line, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Cash. This time, Boyd Holbrook assumes the role, and mostly plays the country singer as a lovable rogue rather than a tortured gunslinger. It’s fun to see Mangold present another side of Cash, even if only for a couple of scenes.

RATING: 7/10

Boston, one of the most iconic rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s, emerged with a sound that blended soaring guitar harmonies, powerful vocals, and lush production.
