When we last checked in with Meshuggah, we learned they are eyeing a release in September/October. According to ThePRP, guitarist Fredrik Thorendal was interviewed in the May issue of Guitar World magazine and had this to say about the songwriting process:
"…We are working on a new album and have been for a long time. I'm so excited about this one. We've always tried to change how we write songs to keep it exciting, but on recent albums we've also been moving further away from working together as a band.
On this album though everyone is working together. Every day that we're in the studio we'll play whatever song we're working on, record a demo version of it to analyze at home, and then come back the next day, talk about it and try to make it better.
I think because of this it's going to be our best album yet. We don't have a title yet, but when it comes to new gear, this one is going to be special…"
Everything I read about this album is getting me very excited. The band already announced that the album will be mixed by Daniel Bergstrand who also worked on Chaosphere & Destroy Erase Improve. This is definitely my most anticipated release of the year. Is it yours?
