Gojira, Devin Townsend Project, the Atlas Moth
8 pm., Monday January 21 | $20.
[PROGRESSIVE METAL] Gojira (née Godzilla) was founded in Bayonne, France, in 1996. Since then, the band has become a popular favorite in the progressive-metal underground, nipping at the heels of Meshuggah and Opeth. Its fifth album, 2012’s L’Enfant Sauvage, features lurching rhythms tempered with melancholy melodies that add emotion and depth to environmental and spiritual lyrics. The band toes the line between Morbid Angel’s technical supremacy and Lamb of God’s questionable industrial machismo. Supporting tonight are two acts more bulletproof than Godzilla himself—Devin Townsend of Strapping Young Lad and Chicago’s future stars of indie metal, the Atlas Moth. Be early or answer to their patron saint, Mothra.
