Terra Incognita is the debut studio album by French heavy metal band Gojira. It was recorded and mixed by Stephan Kraemer.[2][3] According to a text on the album inlay, the title (Latin for "unknown land") refers to the area inside of each man, where, according to Hindu legend, Brahma hid the divinity that he had taken from humanity for the punishment of its abuse.
In 2009, Terra Incognita was re-released in a limited edition digipack including three bonus tracks that were recorded live in Antwerp, Belgium, in 2006.[4] The 2009 issues of the album were for a limited time only and was eventually reissued once again 7 years later on 10 October 2016. Prior to these two reissues and the following years after the 2009 reissue, copies of the album were getting hard to find and were often selling at higher prices on auction sites and sought after by fans following long periods of time being out of print.
