Gojira, the French metal band, won the 2025 Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance for their song "Mea Culpa (Ah! Ça ira!)" during the pre-ceremony event. The band, which performed at the Summer Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, beat notable nominees including Metallica and Judas Priest. Frontman Joe Duplantier expressed their excitement during the acceptance speech, dedicating the award to all bands pushing creative boundaries and encouraging support for local artists. This marks Gojira's first Grammy win after receiving three prior nominations.
We're extremely excited to receive this award. We had the privilege to perform at the Olympics ceremony with Marina and Victor, so this is a great day for us, obviously.
We want to dedicate this award to all the bands that are pushing the boundaries. Support your local artists. Support your local bands.
