Meshuggah is widely considered to be one of the most important bands in the extreme metal world. Amongst the first bands to use eight-sting guitars and featuring chaotic polyrhythms and dissonance, Meshuggah’s music has redefined what it means to be “heavy” in the 21st century.

It has been over four years since the Swedish powerhouse has graced us with a new record. But that’s all about to change on October 7, 2016 when the eighth album of their nearly 30-year career drops. The disc is titled The Violent Sleep of Reason and will be released via the Nuclear Blast label.

The first single from the record has just been unleashed and it is a monster! The track is called “Born In Dissonance” and it is our featured song for this week’s Massive Metal Monday. Check out the official lyric video right here below and be sure to preorder your copy of the album.
