Meshuggah release new song ‘The Abysmal Eye’

January 28, 2022 James Weaver

MESHUGGAH have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Abysmal Eye, is taken from the Swedish progressive metal juggernauts’ upcoming new album, Immutable (the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s The Violent Sleep Of Reason), and is scheduled to be released in April this year, via Atomic Fire Records.

The upcoming album was recorded at Sweetspot Studios in Halmstad, Sweden, mixed by Rickard Bengtsson & Staffan Karlsson and mastered by multiple Grammy Award winner Vlado Meller [METALLICA, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, SYSTEM OF A DOWN]. Visionary artist Luminokaya once again created the cover artwork.

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!”
