The soundtrack to the new EA Sports video game NHL 23 is jam-packed with 42 songs, but the highlight is the brand-new track “Our Time Is Now” from Gojira. The song is available to stream now.
The tune is the French metal band’s first new music since last year’s Fortitude, which landed at No. 4 on Heavy Consequence‘s Top Metal & Hard Rock Albums of 2021.
Along with being part of the NHL 23 soundtrack, “Our Time Is Now” packs a powerful sociopolitical message, as detailed by Gojira frontman Joe Duplantier:
“This song goes out to all the fighters out there sparking a light in a dark world. Show that you are part of a change! If you care about something meaningful to you and your community. If you are standing for a cause, if you show compassion and solidarity for the ones whose rights are taken away, if you’re in a war defending your inherent rights or fighting against deforestation, if you’re standing for animal rights, human rights, you are the lightning bolt, the spark that will shape our world. Your time is now! Our time is now!”

Duplantier also dedicated the song as follows: “Rest In Peace young Masha Amini. She was killed in Teheran for not wearing her hijab ‘properly’ by the ‘morality police’ and Rest In Peace all victims of brutalities during the protests that followed her death. We support the women of Iran in their fight, for taking a stand against oppression!”
In addition to the new Gojira tune, the NHL 23 soundtrack also features previously released songs from such artists as Ghost, Korn, Coheed and Cambria, Turnstile, and more.
