A new single released by the mighty Gojira, a French act who have in recent years become one of the world's most respected metal acts.
The Cell comes from Magma, their sixth album, a release that dominated their genre last year.
Gojira were nominated for two Grammy awards, and while they may have lost out to other acts, a double nomination for a French act in two of the most high profile - and most competitive - categories is quite an achievement.
The four piece were up for Best Metal Performance for their track Silvera - which went to Megadeth's Dystopia - and best rock album, which went to Cage the Elephant.
The album reached the top 30 in the UK following its release last year and was one of 2016's most significant metal releases, getting that increasingly rare combination of artistic respect from critics as well as commercial success.
The band are set to tour the UK next month, having performed in arenas around the country in November and December last year supporting Alter Bridge.
