When is meshuggah new album

And sometimes you just kind of paint yourself into a corner with that kind of thinking. And sometimes you even realize, 'I can't even listen to this. Why would we release anything like this? It doesn't even make sense. The drumming titan also spoke about the challenges of Meshuggah working together during isolation. We were fortunate enough [in that] we just kind of finished the tour run for The Violent Sleep Of Reason , so we're just writing.

We played a lot the last few years, so we had a good amount of cash in the bank to keep us afloat for a while, so we've been really fortunate in all this compared to a lot of bands that are just — they're done. What are they supposed to do? Along with Meshuggah, a large number of bands are planning to release new albums in , including Megadeth, Mastodon, Godsmack, Royal Blood, Tribulation and more.

Also, we have other news. We are releasing [touring guitarist] Per Nilsson back into the wild to roam free in any way he sees fit. It has been a true privilege and honor to share the stage with Per and even more importantly we have made a great friend through our travels. We thank you. You are a formidable human being!! The answer is simple. Fredrik [ Thordendal ] will be back for lead work on the album as well as touring going forward.

In other words. The band is back together. In full effect. But at this point, we're back together, and we're trying to hammer it out. According to Haake , working remotely hadn't posed any huge any problems for him and his bandmates so far.

But it's still at a fifth or a tenth of the pace that you normally would have when you're working together [in person]… Just changing one riff… Every single little thing you're trying to do or adjust within a song or an idea takes days instead of maybe hours when you're sitting together at the studio.

We're not really that type of band, and we haven't really been that type of band since the early '90s, mid-'90s. So for us, it's not that big of a deal. We write separately a lot of stuff. Me and Dick , the bass player, we work on stuff here, usually together. Jens works separately from us and so on. We don't go into the studio and record demos, like we used to.

So for us, programming drums and recording into the computer and doing it that way, that's kind of how we've been doing it for so long now. So, fortunately, I would say, this hasn't really hampered us that much, other than just the time aspect of things. And we're also very easily distracted. We don't write on the road. Some bands, you see they have gear set up in their bus and they're constantly writing. We're not that type of band. We really need to just have time completely off and preferably not even a gig date in the calendar.

That way, we can kind of relax and get into the writing and get into that modus. It takes a long time for us between each album, and this time, due to COVID as well, it's gonna be longer than usual, I think. Right now, we're aiming at a release in late ' Then the question mark right now is, is touring even gonna happen at that point? And if not, do you release the album or do you hold off with it and try to make money some other ways, like doing live shows on the Internet or whatever?

So, yeah, it's time consuming, for sure.
