GODZILLA - live soundtrack by Marco Fasolo and C+C=Maxigross

Godzilla is the King of the Monsters. Godzilla is an icon. Godzilla is everywhere. The giant Japanese monster has stormed the mediasphere for seventy years, ever since it burst onto the scene in 1954 like a nuclear explosion—shaking up the Japanese cultural industry and embedding itself in the global collective imagination.

The original film—titled Gojira, a blend of gorira (“gorilla”) and kujira (“whale”)—directed by Ishirō Honda, is an apocalyptic parable that dredges up the suppressed trauma of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It now takes on new life with a unique live soundtrack performance by Marco Fasolo (Jennifer Gentle) and C+C=Maxigross.

Ishirō Honda (1911–1993) was a Japanese director, best known for directing the original Godzilla (1954) and pioneering the kaiju genre. His work combines social critique and entertainment, leaving an indelible mark on Japanese cinema and global pop culture.

Marco Fasolo is a musician, composer, and producer. He is the founder and frontman of Jennifer Gentle, the first Italian band signed by the legendary label Sub Pop.

C+C=Maxigross is a psych-folk collective. In 2025, they released their ninth album, Nuova Era Oscura – Vol.1, on the Dischi Sotterranei label.
