After what seemed like an eternity waiting for Gojira's new album 'L'Enfant Sauvage' to hit metalheads, the band's latest effort is now available for streaming in full. Set for release on June 26, this is one piece of music coming out in 2012 that you shouldn't ignore.

The band were originally named 'Godzilla' before legal issues caused them to change their name to the Rōmaji spelling of the monster's moniker, Gojira. Hailing from Bayonne, France, Gojira have been making music together since 1996 and released their first official full-length album, 'Terra Incognita' in 2001. Since then, Gojira have established themselves as a band that can appeal to all types of metal fans.

Having captured the respect of more underground metal bands, Gojira are poised to become one of modern metal's biggest bands with 'L'Enfant Sauvage,' the band's first release on Roadrunner Records. Australian music website The Music has been given the entire record to stream for free, and after listening to the album, you'll understand why 'L'Enfant Sauvage' is set to be one of 2012 most celebrated albums.
