Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH have issued the following update:

"After a long time of deep soul searching and intense wrecking of the psyches, the new album is finally done. Soon you will meet this colossus that will pulverize your being. Welcome to the other side on March 27."

In a 2011 interview with Guitar World magazine, MESHUGGAH guitarist Fredrik Thordendal was asked whether the band has been working on new music. "Yes, we are working on a new album and have been for a long time," Fredrik said. "I'm so excited about this one. We've always tried to change how we write songs to keep it exciting, but on recent albums we've also been moving further away from working together as a band. On this album, though, everyone is working together. Every day that we're in the studio, we'll play whatever song we're working on, record a demo version of it to analyze at home, and then come back the next day, talk about it and try to make it better. I think because of this, it's going to be our best album yet."

Regarding the approach to the new music, MESHUGGAH drummer Tomas Haake told Decibel magazine in a 2010 interview, "Maybe not try to be as anal about every single little hit [that] has to be super-tight but be more focused on the vibe of a track and let some of those tiny errors slip through. I think that kinda breeds a bit of life into a song."

Self-leakage
Quand on ne sait plus quoi inventer pour faire de la promo, on fait ça ... un nouveau titre de MESHUGGAH vient d'être mis en ligne sur le internet http://iamaleak.com ... ce qui sous entend qu'il s'agit d'une fuite ... de la part d'un journaliste ayant accés à l'album avant sa sortie.
Or le site http://iamaleak.com a été enregistré par un certain Ronnie Backlund qui a déjà bossé avec MESHUGGAH au sein du managment du groupe.
Le titre en question serait "Break These Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion", il serait issus de "Koloss", le nouvel album qui sortira le 26 mars via Nuclear Blast.
Une démarche difficile à comprendre de la part de MESHUGGAH mais que les nombreux journalistes à qui les labels mettent des batons dans les roues pour écouter leurs dernieres nouveautés apprécieront ... ou pas!
