Meshuggah unveil new single

Extreme metal maestros MESHUGGAH have unveiled a brand new song from their upcoming album!

Speaking about the album, drummer Tomas Haake says, “Basically, the whole idea of why we chose the title is it kinda connects with the lyrical content of the album. Which is to a fair degree about current events and what you see is going on as far as terrorism today, extremist views on ideals, and religious dogma and the violent implications that you get from being asleep so to speak and not acting/reacting to what is going on in the proper way.”

The album was produced by the band and was engineered by Tue Madsen of Puk Studios in KaerbyDenmark. For the cover, the band once again enlisted Keerych Luminokaya who created the artwork for their last record, Koloss.
