NEWS: Meshuggah awake from The Violent Sleep Of Reason!

Whether it’s an April fools joke or the price of reality, ‘The Abysmal Eye‘ serves as the first taste of a new album from Swedish extreme tech-metal pioneers Meshuggah. The song is taken from their upcoming ninth studio manifest, “Immutable“, released worldwide via Atomic Fire on 1st April 2022. Recorded in Sweden’s Sweetspot Studios, their ninth full-length album “Immutable” is the follow-up to their highly acclaimed and Grammy-nominated album, “The Violent Sleep Of Reason“. This band blow minds for a living and if this single is anything to go by,  “Immutable” promises their most explosive work of monstrous art yet.

For guitarist Mårten Hagström, the task of embarking on another unprecedented tech-metal odyssey was impossible to resist. “For us, it wasn’t all that clear that we were making a new album. We knew we could do it, but did we want to do it?,” he says. “We had to decide, are we doing this or what else are we doing? After a long, long discussion, we agreed on certain things. We would make an album with as few restraints as possible. We would go in and try to make as cool an album as possible, have no anxiety about it and see it as an opportunity. How do we make this a challenge that we feel like accepting and rising up to? Pretty quickly we had a starting point. Everybody started to write, the ball started rolling and suddenly we were sitting there, discussing how many songs we were going to have to cut!”
