Back in 2010, Gojira began the process of recording its Sea Shepherd EP. The EP was meant to benefit the conservation society of the same name, though the hard drive it was contained on crashed and the EP was ultimately lost.
Now in a new interview with Mulatschag, drummer Mario Duplantier has revealed that the band is "still working on it." Whether that means trying to recover what was on the hard drive or re-recording the entire thing isn't clear, but hey – we might get Sea Shepherd after all!
"We just wanted to put a spotlight on them, so Joe had this idea of doing an EP and selling the EP and all the money goes to them, to help them. Finally, we started working in the EP, but the hard drive crashed. We couldn't [finish] the project, but we're still working on it. The goal was to talk about them. They work, they fight for something very important, we feel. We respect them so much, so that was a goal."
One song called "Of Blood And Salt" did surface in 2011, which featured both Devin Townsend and Fredrik Thordendal of Meshuggah, and you can check that out below.
