I've given up waiting for Gojira's new album; it seems like that's become an myth right now.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I have been thinking a lot about the Latin part in Dark Forest. I don't know if this has been discussed before, but to me, it seems like that part (Sanctus, Dominis, etc.) speaks of or refers to a passage in Revelation where "the sky would darken and ships/Jesus would return to gather His faithful people" (See Matthew 24:29-31: "The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light... they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven... and he will send his angels... and they will gather his elect"; and Revelation 6:12 & 1:7: "The sun turned black like sackcloth... Look, he is coming with the clouds").

(Basically, it doesn't change much from Christianity to Scientology, except that the latter believes in a cosmic Jesus who would return to take the people who were good). To me, in my humble interpretation, it has nothing to do with Ghost (at first I thought it did too), but on second thought, it must have been the same idea Matt and Tobias had, referencing the chant The Omen Suite or Ave Satani, part of The Omen soundtrack. Ghost referencing Year Zero—which in demonolatry is the year Satan would begin to reign alongside the princes of hell (Belial, Behemoth, Asmodeus, etc.)—and in Dark Forest there is the Fermi paradox, and there is also this part, which could be about what humanity would say, the various interpretations of "ships flying across the sky" (ships identical to the one created by the image of the sound of the signal, included on the album cover and in the music videos).

I'm from Brazil and I can't access Mario's new interview on that French radio station. Could someone translate it and bring it here? There are several interviews with Gojira, including some on paid French websites. There's also an interview with the Duplantier brothers talking about fascism on a channel called Nouvels something-or-other.
