Swedish extreme tech-metal pioneers MESHUGGAH released their eighth studio album, The Violent Sleep Of Reason. In celebration of the new album, the band released a video for "Clockworks" which can be viewed on KNAC.COM right HERE.
Purchase, download and stream the album at http://nuclearblast.com/meshuggah-violentsleep.
The second single "Nostrum" was released via a 360 lyric video and can be seen on the Nuclear Blast YouTube Channel. Drum aficionados can check out an exclusive play through of the song on Modern Drummer.
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 7 albums and 3 EP's featured in the 25 Years Of Musical Deviance box set.
The Violent Sleep Of Reason is available in the following formats:
- CD Digipak
- Black Double LP
