In an exclusive video interview with Tomas Haake of Meshuggah, watch him discuss the bands journey towards creating their own unique style. You can watch the video below:
Meshuggah’s The Violent Sleep of Reason was released on October 7th and is the current Ghost Cult Album of The Month! In his 10/10 review Metal Mark writes of the album:
“ … You get a reminder of why Meshuggah has become one of the most important bands of our generation. The crazy time signatures are there, and while we’ve come to accustomed to hearing this from this band, they are still the only ones to make them sound so heavy, and just so perfect. Once the title track hits your speakers, you are completely hooked on this album. This swirling, magnificent track is the purest example of why they’ve come to influence so many bands in the scenes. You can call it whatever genre you want, but Meshuggah created it, and continues to push its boundaries to levels no one ever thought was possible.”
