MESHUGGAH write new album

Posted by RobInjection on November 16th, 2006

Meshuggah issued a statement where they announced that they are currently in "writing mode" (read: smoking a lot of pot) and should be for the rest of the year. The band also states that they will hit the road in support of this tour.

"Right now we are writing material for the new album. After the Nothing re-release, we more-or-less finished working on our studio, so know we're putting together a kind of demo to see where we are at material-wise and basically give the studio, the songs, and us a test-run, heh, heh. We are swimming in dark waters that constitute putting an album together and whatever we find beneath the surface is definitely gonna be… interesting. Suffice to say that we're in a weird but inspirational period right now. It's all gonna be about the writing during November. The demo recording is hopefully happening in December in-between the pinball tournaments here in the studio. Then we'll see where we're at, I guess. In hell, probably. We've got no working title or concrete cover ideas yet, but it's getting there. It's the slow process of coming to terms with the material we've got and hopefully understand what to make of it. The plan is to have the album out late Spring or - if things get fucked up - early Fall. Naturally, the touring will be planned around the album release, so we'll see when we get closer to completing the album."

I, for one am excited. During the band's 2005 tour, we were lucky enough to snag Marten for an interview, albeit an extremely stoned interview. Watch it after the jump…

[...] As we previously reported, MESHUGGAH are recording a new album, which the band told REVOLVER Magazine will be a throw back to the crushing songs of their early albums, and stray away from the methods on their previous effort Catch 33. "We've got some fast, intense songs and hectic, heavy stuff that draws from all the things we've done in the past," says drummer Tomas Haake. "It's so great to actually be playing drums again." The band members started writing this past August and currently have three tracks completed without vocals and parts in place for 10 more tunes. The goal is to finish by March, in time for a May release. To some extent, the tone of the music was motivated by the four months MESHUGGAH spent last year rerecording guitars for the Halloween rerelease of their 2002 album, "Nothing". "It was great to revisit that super-heavy stuff," Haake tells Revolver. "While we were doing it, we found new ways of playing guitar that give the music a really scary tone. That's going to make this record sound more brutal." [...]
