Swedish Extreme Tech-metallers MESHUGGAH, have revealed a music video for their new song “The Abysmal Eye”, which was released on January 28th. The song is taken from their upcoming album, “Immutable”, set for release on April 1st through Atomic Fire Records.
Full of surprises and yet instantly recognizable as the work of metal’s most idiosyncratic force, “Immutable” redefines and redesigns the MESHUGGAH sound across more than an hour of the most stimulating and absorbing music the band has ever made.
Guitarist Mårten Hagström said the record is a great snapshot of where MESHUGGAH is at these days. “The title fits perfectly for where we are as a band,” Mårten concludes. “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.”
Shattering even the highest of expectations, Immutable is simply their wildest and most esoteric sonic adventure yet. The work was recorded at Sweetspot Studios in Halmstad, Sweden, mixed by Rickard Bengtsson and Staffan Karlsson, and mastered by multiple Grammy award winner Vlado Meller (METALLICA, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS , SYSTEMOF DOWN). Visionary artist Luminokaya once again created the stunning cover artwork.
