Artist: Meshuggah

obZen is Meshuggah at their most fully realized status yet, and it is an album that challenges every other metal band to match the fury of their attack even as we enter the new decade.

• Meshuggah - Bleed

While it may be some time until we hear new music from MESHUGGAH, the band announced on their official site that they plan to release a live DVD in early 2010. Oh, fuck yes. We are 99% sure the live footage will come from the show we attended earlier this year at Irving Plaza in [...]

MetalUnderground.com is reporting that Meshuggah will release a live DVD in early 2010. This is great news for us U.S. Meshuggah fans who get to see the band live, like, never. Except when we got to see them at BonerFest 2009, aka with Cynic and The Faceless - that ruled. No details have been released yet [...]

Well the Funkcast was probably about as gentle a 'tell me about this genre' podcast as you're likely to get. This, on the other hand, is not gentle. I suppose it was never likely to be - there's only so gentle an introduction you can give to this kind of music. Basically, I was becoming increasingly curious about the number of alt-folkies I know who come from heavy metal backgrounds. Loads of my friends here who I know because we all listen to indie rock or alternative folk or all sorts of things inbetween seem to have been [...]

Being a drummer myself, I'd have to admit I tend to hone in on his business more so than the rest of the band. It's a well known saying that "the drummer can make or break any band", but there is a lot more to it than hitting things as fast as you can to [...]

When you come from a city with as big a metal pedigree as Nottingham - the birthplace of Earache Records, Rock City and Iron Monkey - then making an impact can be a bit of a challenge. Millicent Grove however, suffer no such troubles. From: Nottingham, UK Sounds like: Annotations Of An Autopsy, Iron Monkey, the howl of rage from the dark heart of the Midlands Website: www.MySpace.com/MillicentGrove Thrash Hits verdict: Iron Maiden have three guitarists, [...]

The UK's Fellsilent - a Sumeriancore band who are on, duh, Sumerian Records (and Basick in the UK) - have a new video for their track "Immerse" [sent in by Spencer B.]. The video itself is pretty cool with some neat-o lighting effects and a giant mosh pit, and makes me wish I was 19 [...]

The third release from August Burns Red on the perennially hit-or-miss Solid State Records is a listen you'd come to expect if you've heard a few seconds of their previous work. Some have said they diversified their sound, but for most metalcore bands, "diversity" just means the vocalist figured out how to scream in another register and a guitarist found their delay pedal. The release isn't terrible; they play as competently as any top-notch veterans in rock music (drummer Matt Greiner is noteworthy as usual), and they seem to be specifically designed [...]

Holy shit, does this band wish it were Meshuggah or what? I just got an e-mail asking me if I want a copy of their album for review. Thank you, I'm sure you're very a nice person, but, no, I already have enough shitty CDs sitting on my desk that I'll probably never find time to [...]

The shows cropped up fast as Memorial day approached, cascading on top of each other like the hairs of a vigorously headbanged coif. Instead of trying to keep pace, I bode my time. Now, feast on these reviews, covering the last couple weeks of heavy, condensed and combined into an omnibus post, richly suffused with the connective tissue of metaphor and theme.

Thrash Hits got into a bit of trouble with the folks from Download Festival this week. They were none to happy about us leaking the stage times for every band playing the festival via a handy downloadable schedule sheet that we put together. Oops. That didn't stop Kerrang from reposting all our hard work on their site without giving credit though, did it? Word of advice guys: if you're gonna do a cut'n'shut job on our content, then leaving our custom artwork in it is a surefire way [...]

Problemi di salute per il batterista dei Meshuggah Tomas Haake che, durante le prove della band prima dei festival estivi, ha accusato dei dolori alla schiena derivati da un'ernia discale. Subito operato, Haake ne avrà per un po' di tempo e quindi i Meshuggah hanno deciso di annullare la partecipazione al Sauna Open Air di Tampere in Finlandia (che li vedeva tra gli headliner insieme a Stratovarius , Nightwish e Hammerfall ) per permettere al batterista di recuperare al meglio. Speriamo che Tomas Haake, ottimo batterista [...]

An oldie, but certainly a very very goodie... From MESHUGGAH guitarist Fredrik Thordendal's side project, Sol Niger Within

Round about the time this site was jocking the wares of avant-garde prog metallers Sikth and Textures, several of you emailed us about the French band Hacride. And as usual, you were right on the money. While Hacride don't have the frenetic nature of Sikth nor the epic sense of melody of Textures, they do [...]

The latest download announcement is something of a mixed bag - on the plus side, we have confirmation of an appearance by the mighty Opeth , who are every bit as prog as Mastodon but without the burden of a million desperate hipsters trailing in their wake. Even better is the news that the tech-metal skills of Meshuggah will be returning to the UK to flip Donington Park on its head. The downside is Lawnmower Deth - a joke band that wasn't even funny the first time around - have also been booked to play. [...]

You bitched and moaned about daylight savings time, even though you were asleep when the clocks changed and you get an extra hour of daylight every day until November. You are all retards. Here's what else happened this week: Sigh's Mirai Kawashima gave us another studio report (no naked Dr. Mikannibal pics, sorry), Early Man's Mike Conte [...]

Our bro-bros over at MetalSucks just posted an interview they conduction with Marten Hagstrom of MESHUGGAHHHHHHH. During the interview, Marten is a cool dude and opens up about touring and possibly writing new material this year, but it seems once MetalSucks writer Vince Neilstien asks him about melodic death metal, that's when the shit really [...]

Il nostro viaggio alla scoperta dei tesori nascosti della musica ha messo le radici in scandinavia, infatti siamo ancora in Svezia rimanendo su territori decisamente "heavy": dopo i Cult Of Luna , oggi è il turno dei Meshuggah. I Meshuggah sono una delle band metal più importanti degli ultimi vent'anni. Gli svedesi sono stati fra i primi a mischiare sapientemente la tecnica tipica del progressive metal con i suoni del metal più estremo utilizzando spesso e volentieri complesse metriche dispari tanto da essere spesso etichettati come " math-metal ". Tutto questo [...]
