Meshuggah Announce Album Title

2012-01-16 by Tyrannic | 98 Comments
Meshuggah has announced that their new album, entitled Koloss, will see a North American release on
March 27th and European release on March 23rd via Nuclear Blast Records.

Regarding the album, Drummer Tomas Haake has issued the following warning (via facebook): "As always,
we try to take our music in a slightly different direction with each album and with KOLOSS we feel that we
really nailed what we were going for. Organic brutality, viscera and groove all crammed into a 54-minute
metalicious treat, best avoided by the faint of heart!!”

Not feeling the title. But perhaps the content of the album will change that. Still looking forward to this. Eventually a slight sonical change, but as with obZen I guess they'll be playing it safe sound-wise.

Djent isn't a genre.
Since when does onomatopoeia qualify as sufficient means to name a type of music? It's not like I take
a shit every time someone asks me what I classify Suicide Silence as.

Meshuggah is not djent, but coincidentally, Fredrik Thordendal himself coined the word. This is a fact.

If Meshuggah are implying that this album is going to be colossal, even by their standards, then they're building up quite the anticipation. But who knows, maybe this will be [a] Koloss of an album.

Also, regarding their statement of the album not long ago:

“After a long time of deep soul searching and intense wrecking of the psyches, the new album is finally done. Soon you will meet this colossus that will pulverize your being. Welcome to the other side on March 27.”

Sneaky bastards had us all along.

djent is a genre if you look at it in a different sense. most djent bands are obsessed with polymeters/polyrhythms and pseudo-technical bullshit with a mix of harsh/clean vocals and really plastic-y, overproduced and computerized production. plus, you know, the guitar tone. in that sense I'd call it a genre

also stoked
