“One of heavy metal’s most wildly creative and cerebral forces. This is metal taken to a higher plane of brilliance.” – 5* The Guardian

“Their most engrossing effort to date. Without a doubt, L’Enfant Sauvage takes them from a position of wealth in the underground and thrusts them into the big leagues.” – 4* Big Cheese

“L’Enfant Sauvage sounds like nothing else on Earth and a brand new and effortlessly brilliant benchmark. A gleaming slab of perfection…. some bands are special, and in the metal world of 2012, Gojira are the most special of all.” 9/10 Metal Hammer

“The time is ripe for them to be one of the most powerful forces in extreme metal.” – Terrorizer
