meshuggah

How the hell did I miss this???

Predictability is a good thing.

Take a few minutes and zone out to the hypnotic riffs of "Demiurge" from the mighty Meshuggah's new album 'Koloss'.

Every once in a while the planets align and the metal gods grace us with more great new stuff than one can digest in a single sitting and right now is one of those times. I mean seriously, new albums from Municipal Waste, High On Fire and Meshuggah within two weeks of each other and so far I have those three albums in a steady rotation and not much of anything else.

Like 'em or not, a new Meshuggah album is nothing less than a significant event in the world of metal. The band continues to expand their sound while never disappointing their core and Koloss is more of the same but this time around they've outdone themselves as in it's one of their catchiest releases in my opinion.

With a song title as cryptic as "Do Not Look Down" one would expect the lyric video to be dark and equally cryptic on it's own and one would be correct. The Meshuggah promotion machine is fired up with all guns blazing here in the weeks leading up to one of the most anticipated metal albums of 2012, Koloss.

Okay so I pussed out last Saturday and didn't post the new Meshuggah track "Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion" when it was (reportedly) intentionally leaked by their manager but what can I say...I'm paranoid like that. So to make up for it, here's the official lyric video instead.
