Meshuggah announce new album 'Immutable'
Swedish metal band Meshuggah have dropped details on their forthcoming album today.
Immutable is the band’s first studio album away from longtime record label Nuclear Blast. The release will arrive on April 1 via Atomic Fire Records, which was co-founded by former Nuclear Blast employees Florian Milz and Markus Wosgien. The album was mixed by Rickard Bengtsson and Staffan Karlsson and mastered by Grammy-winner Vlado Meller (Metallica, Rage Against The Machine).
Guitarist Mårten Hagström said this about their upcoming album:
"The title fits perfectly for where we are as a band. We’re older now. Most of us are in our fifties now, and we’ve settled into who we are. Even though we’ve been experimenting all along, I also think we’ve been the same since day one. The way we approach things and why we still make new albums, and why we still sound the way we do, it’s immutable. Humanity is immutable, too. We commit the same mistakes over and over. And we are immutable. We do what we do, and we don’t change."
Pre-orders for the album will go live on January 28.
Meshuggah will support the album on tour in the United States this fall. Tour dates can be seen below.
