Silvera


"Silvera" is a track by French heavy metal band Gojira, featured on their 2016 album Magma, released through Roadrunner Records. The album marked a stylistic shift toward a more atmospheric and accessible sound compared to the band's earlier work. For electric guitarists, "Silvera" is a rewarding study in Gojira's signature blend of rhythmic precision, palm-muted riffing, and textured dynamics, making it an excellent entry point into the band's technically demanding style.

  • Magma was recorded at Gojira's own studio in New York City, with guitarist and vocalist Joe Duplantier handling production duties.
  • The track runs approximately 3 minutes and 32 seconds, packing dense rhythmic guitar work into a relatively compact structure.
  • Magma is noted for incorporating cleaner vocals and a more atmospheric approach, which influenced the guitar tones and layering on tracks like "Silvera".
Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier
Amp

Mesa/Boogie Dual Rectifier

Joe Duplantier's signature tone engine, the Dual Rectifier delivers the thick, saturated low-mid grunt defining Gojira's rhythm sound while allowing articulate pick attack. Run at moderate gain, it lets dynamic playing intensity shape aggression rather than artificial overdrive.

ISP Decimator Noise Gate
Pedal

ISP Decimator Noise Gate

Essential for Gojira's palm-muted riffing, the ISP Decimator keeps silence truly silent at high gain, allowing Joe and Christian to control feedback and achieve the tight, percussive attack their songs demand without unwanted noise.

Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner
Pedal

Boss TU-3 Chromatic Tuner

Critical for maintaining stable tuning during aggressive picking and drop-tuned riffing, the TU-3 keeps both guitarists locked in across Gojira's heavy, rhythmically complex arrangements where tuning drift would compromise the band's signature tightness.
