Meshuggah Drop “The Abysmal Eye” the First New Music from Long-Awaited Ninth Album ’Immutable’

Swedish extreme tech-metal pioneers Meshuggah have dropped the first teaser of new music in the form of “The Abysmal Eye.” The single is taken from their upcoming ninth studio manifest, Immutable, released worldwide via Atomic Fire on April 1st, 2022!

Recorded in Sweden’s Sweetspot Studios, their ninth full-length album Immutable is the follow-up to their highly acclaimed and Grammy-nominated album, The Violent Sleep Of Reason. This band blows minds for a living, and Immutable is their most explosive work of monstrous art yet.

Speaking about the album, guitarist Mårten Hagström reveals how the task of embarking on another unprecedented tech-metal odyssey was impossible to resist. “For us, it wasn’t all that clear that we were making a new album. We knew we could do it, but did we want to do it?,” he says. “We had to decide, are we doing this or what else are we doing? After a long, long discussion, we agreed on certain things. We would make an album with as few restraints as possible. We would go in and try to make as cool an album as possible, have no anxiety about it and see it as an opportunity. How do we make this a challenge that we feel like accepting and rising up to? Pretty quickly we had a starting point. Everybody started to write, the ball started rolling and suddenly we were sitting there, discussing how many songs we were going to have to cut!”

Shattering even the highest of expectations, the band’s ninth album is simply their wildest and most esoteric sonic adventure yet. Recorded at Sweetspot Studios in Halmstad (Sweden), mixed by Rickard Bengtsson & Staffan Karlsson and mastered by multiple Grammy award winner Vlado Meller (Metallica, Rage Against The Machine, Red Hot Chili Peppers, System Of A Down). Visionary artist Luminokaya once again created the stunning cover artwork.
