Meshuggah Reveal NEW Album Cover & Track Listing For 'KOLOSS'!


Over the weekend, the Kings of Swedish Metal, Meshuggah, revealed the title of their seventh studio album: 'KOLOSS' (set to be released on March 27th via Nuclear Blast Records). Today, the band has revealed their NEW album cover and track listing (see below).

Tomas Haake, drummer of Meshuggah, has released the following update regarding the name of their seventh studio album:

“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!!”

Regarding the production of 'KOLOSS', this is what the band had to say about this:

"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."

To this Meshuggah's shredder Fredrik Thordendal added:

"Yes, 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."
