L'Enfant Sauvage (French, "The Wild Child") is the fifth album by the French metal band Gojira. It was released 26 June 2012 via Roadrunner Records.[11]
Background
Frontman, guitarist and songwriter Joe Duplantier talks about the meaning of the upcoming album by saying, “When you become a musician, you don’t have a boss telling you what to do so you have to be very responsible.” He goes on to say “With freedom comes responsibility, so I’m asking myself, ‘What is freedom? What does it mean to me?’ L’Enfant Sauvage reflects on that. There’s no answer though. There’s just life and questions.” [12]
Gojira was going to tour with Lamb of God and Dethklok, but because of Randy Blythe's arrest in the Czech Republic the tour was cancelled. Gojira subsequently announced a headline tour of their own.
