Meshuggah post final trailer for "The Violent Sleep Of Reason"!

Swedish extreme tech-metal pioneers MESHUGGAH are in the homestretch of the release of their eighth album, »The Violent Sleep Of Reason«. Today, the band has released the final trailer where Tomas discusses recording the album live. Check out the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XHYopyQTwHk

"Kind of looking back at the albums, the music and songs that we grew up with that we really loved in metal were always recorded live and they have that live vibe to it," comments Tomas Haake. "There is certain energy that comes with recording live compared to recording drums first and fixing whatever need to be fixed so it sounds perfect then recording guitars on top of that. There is nothing wrong in doing it like that but we felt like we wanted to take a step back towards how we were doing things in the early 90's and kind of go a little old school in that sense. We wanted the challenge that comes with that."

Tomas Haake comments about the album, "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 Kaerby, Denmark. For the cover, the band once again enlisted Keerych Luminokaya who created the artwork for »Koloss« and »The Ophidian Trek« as well as the new images for each of the seven albums and three EPs featured in the »25 Years Of Musical Deviance« box set.
