    The greatest metal song I experienced so far this year is "Resurrection Men" Bruce Dickinson (Iron Maiden) 😁 Bruce returns to solo stuff after almost two decades Released in 2024, THE MANDRAKE PROJECT is Bruce Dickinson’s seventh solo album after 19 long years since the previous one. Ever since it was mentioned around the release of Iron Maiden’s “Book of Souls” that Bruce had been working on a new solo album I have been waiting for the then unnamed album with huge excitement, as Bruce’s solo stuff with Roy Z has really hit me in the right spot on their last three efforts. A lot has happened of course in the eight years since the release of “Book of Souls”. Bruce had cancer, and the world got a pandemic and some of these things annoyingly delayed the finalisation of The Mandrake Project, and it has been 18 years since the last solo album, which is way too long - which also makes me feel really old LOL as I can remember teen me eagerly going to buy that album on the day of its release - “The Mandrake Project” was quite different from what I was expecting it to be. For some reason I was expecting Roy and Bruce to continue with the same great mix of modern and classic metal sound that they had worked with on the previous three albums, but instead they went for a 70s heavy blues rock sound on many songs - especially on the first half. I have learned to accept that this is no “The Chemical Wedding” part 2 I have started to find a lot of things to enjoy here. And I find it important to note that this isn’t only filled with heavy blues rock songs as there are songs that could have fitted on previous albums like the heavy doom metallish album opener “Afterglow of Ragnarok”, “Eternity Has Failed” of course has already fitted on a Iron Maiden and the epic highlight of the album “Shadow of the Gods” 🤘🏼 United Kingdom 🇬🇧

So they had lanterns installed. And this song basically says that they're going to be hanged there. The building in the ceremony was where marie antoinette was imprisoned before being executed. A lot of subtext in this ceremony.

Their staging will remain anchored in the memory of those who love the Metal and in that of the Olympic Games.

    Song was written especially for the Olympics, most parts coming from a revolutionary song from 1789 called "Ah ça ira !" (more on wikipedia here --> en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%87a_Ira ).
    The castle featured on this sequence is where Marie-Antoinette was held jailed before she got beheaded.
    Vocalist is mezzo-soprano singer "Marina Viotti" who formerly performed in a metal bands in her younger years.

    I'd add (as a french) that they specifically pointed and treated the "terror" time frame of the French Revolution*, around 1792-1794/95. After the royal couple was executed (caused by Louis XVI and the family's escape out of france stoped at Varenes in 1791) the french revolutionary assembly voted the end of the moarchy, then after a long time in prison, the execution of Louis and Marie-Antoinette, then the Revolution became more and more extremist and violent and self exterminating (every political citizen guilty of not being "enough" revolutioany would be guillotined..). At that time a popular revolutionary song was "Ah, ça ira!" (a calling to guillotine every aristocrat alive) and it's interpretated on the show by a decapitated aristocrat lady - most people assuming it's Marie Antoinette although nothing absolutely proves it's her - ironically singing the revolutionay song, her cutted head precisely, in her hands.
    For French people who know correctly the complicated years of the Revolution (1789-1795 , then chaos for a couple of years then the first republic, then Napoleon the first seizing power) they would get the reference in the show and maybe like me appreciate the humor and irony and musical brutality perfectly embodying the violence of that history time frame, but I guess everyone would just consider that the French Revolution is just chaos and any aristocrat guillotined, although it was much more complicated, and a quite long process.
    Edit : * a personal assessment / deduction : the Terror was significantly bloody (depicted by the red everywhere during the Gojira event and of course the heavy music)
    The other very interesting reference in that specific Gojira / Marina Viotti performance is the reference to the 2015 islamic terrorist attacks at the Bataclan, pointed out by the Paris flag on Marina's boat and its motto "Fluctuat Nec Mergitur" (shaken but never sank), but also of course a metal band performing over the Seine river and in front of that boat that proudly passes in front of the live band. That (I got it only afterwards) is an amazing detail.
    Personaly I find the cultural event with Gojira playing live at that genre of immensely global cremony amazing and new of course, but I'd also point out that it was a great ceremony in terms of variety in styles of music and cultural references.

      Hi, my french is not the best, so I'll spare you the pain of having to read my butchering of your language. If I understand you correctly, the implication is that Marie Antoinette was not a political figure. I would say that is definitely not the case, she was at the very least a symbol of the corrupt aristocracy. A comparable example for us I suppose would be if a band recreated the execution of some of the civil war generals from the confederate army. And if I am being honest, that would not bother me. History is real, it happened and it should not be forgotten. I don't see this as glorifying it on Gojira's part. And I don't know how familiar you are with them, but their songs are not at all violent. Their whole message is we need to be better. Most of that is from an environmental standpoint but also in how we interact with each other.
      If anything this might be Gojira's subtle way of highlighting the barbarism with which we treated our "enemies" even if they were our own countrymen. The image of severed heads singing is certainly grotesque, and the lyrics they created to add to this classic revolutionary anthem hint at the madness in the brutality of guillotining people in scores.
      Its something to think about and I would encourage you to look at Gojira's body of work because I think you will be extremely shocked.
      Passe une bonne journée (hopefully I at least got that right).
