In 2017 Swedish progressive metal pioneers Meshuggah will be entering their 30th year of existence, defying expectations and remaining one of the genre’s most popular and acclaimed outfits.

The Violent Sleep Of Reason, the band’s eighth full length studio album, finds them building upon their legacy - but also recapturing some of the magic and excitement specifically within the aspect of performance, finding flow and groove that would be a challenge for any lesser band to locate. There’s a distinct methodology, says drum master, writer and spokesman Tomas Haake, that was used to achieve the level of ‘swing’ that attentive fans will hear during the record: “Basically, there are more natural sounds. On the last few albums, everything’s been kind of fixed and machine-like. For this one, it’s all live takes, something we haven’t done in many, many years. And that definitely goes against the stream of what you see in technical metal.”
