There is one thing known for certain about the recently “leaked” “Break Those Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion” off the upcoming monstrosity metal masterpiece that is Koloss (due on March 27th through Nuclear Blast): This is one hundred percent new music from Meshuggah. It’s a long, brutal, bone crunchingingly epic seven minute long declaration from the masters of technical/math/progressive metal. If you weren’t already excited at the prospect of a new Meshuggah record in a months time then this song is sure to have you pre-ordering now and sitting at the door waiting for the UPS driver to show up on March 27th.
Guitarists Fredrik Thordendal and Marten Hagstrom create an eerie vibe yet still manage to drill into your brain with some great riffs. Drummer Tomas Haake is subdued yet powerful while belting out a tribal beat in spots, Dick Lovgren’s low end penetrates your very soul and vocalist Jens Kidman, as usual, plays the barking madman that oversees it all.
Koloss is out March 27th. You can pre-order your very own copy right here.
