It's been one week since Gojira's epic performance at the Olympics opening ceremony in Paris, France and the band's monthly listeners total on Spotify has swelled as a result.

During the portion of the ceremony dedicated to French liberty, Gojira performed a metal version of the revolutionary anthem "Ah Ça Ira," which translates to the message, "It will be okay." After a closeup of a beheaded Marie Antoinette singing, a camera zoomed out to reveal the French metal's bands four members perched along the walls of of the Conciergerie, the castle where Antoinette was once imprisoned.

Opera singer Marina Viotti contributed to the dark and fiery performance as hundreds of millions of people around the world bore witness to nearly three-minutes of uncompromised heavy metal.
