Mario and Joe Duplantier will chat with Alexander Milas and Lina Khatib ahead of Earth Day on April 22, the brothers opening up about their "longstanding commitment to the climate crisis, from their early ambsassadorship and support of Sea Shepherd to their most recent Amazonia campaign, and of course their new record, Fortitude".

"Ahead of Earth Day, we are honoured to be joined by Mario and Joseph Duplantier of Gojira, founding members of a band that has stood up for the planet like few others, and for many in the metal community, a conduit for awareness regarding issues that affect all life on Earth," reads a statement from World Metal Congress.
"Earth Day is a day when climate action groups from around the world convene to support environmental awareness, and so ahead of April 22 we couldn't think of a better band to discuss these all important issues.
"Many Gojira fans will of course be aware of Sea Shepherd thanks to the band's staunch advocacy of this organisation, and more recently – ahead of Fortitude, the band's upcoming release, they have mobilised Operation Amazonia in an effort to raise funds to protect one of our planet's most vulnerable and valuable natural environments."
