In the early AM of today, the internet went into frenzy when a new song by progressive groove masters Meshuggah made it's way onto the interwaves.

The song was first considered a leak, but Got-djent.com later confirmed that the song and the site that it leaked from were registered to the band's own manager. Making this the most interesting/creative way to debut a new song. No need to explain the genius behind this move.

So here it is! Track 7 from Meshuggah's upcoming album 'KOLOSS' epically titled "Break These Bones Whose Sinews Gave It Motion"

Can't believe I totally spaced posting about the new GOJIRA song "Of Blood And Salt" since I've been listening to it nonstop for the past week or so.

After months and months of waiting for the much talked about Sea Sheperd EP. The song "Of Blood And Salt" made it's way onto the internet before it's actual release (AKA the song was leaked)."Of Blood And Salt" features the mighty Fredrik Thordendal (MESHUGGAH) and the even mightier Devin Townsend (Ex-STRAPPING YOUNG LAD).

Go ahead and have multiple neck breaks to this mammoth of a collaboration!


The EP is set for release in September, and will feature guest appearances by LAMB OF GOD's Randy Blythe (Holy Fuckness!!), IN FLAMES' Anders Friden, and SOULFLY/CAVALERA CONSPIRACY's Max Cavalera. And even god damn better! The Sea Shepherd EP will be followed by A NEW GOJIRA FULL LENGTH ALBUM (which you can read about more over on Metal Hammer UK where they interviewed the mightiest Joe Duplantier). Go ahead and start punching a wall with your head out of excitement!
[PRESS RELEASE]

In an exclusive new video interview with Decibel Magazine, MESHUGGAH drummer Tomas Haake and vocalist Jens Kidman discuss the band’s follow-up 2008’s Billboard-charting album, obZen.

Regarding the approach to their new music, Haake offers:

“… Maybe not try to be as anal about every single little hit [that] has to be super-tight but be more focused on the vibe of a track and let some of those tiny errors slip through. I think that kinda breeds a bit of life into a song.”

In 2008, obZen debuted at #59 on the American Top 200 Billboard chart, clinched the #14 spot on the iTunes Top Rock Albums chart, was the #1 Most Added metal album on the CMJ Loud Rock and FMQB radio charts, and set a new Swedish MySpace pre-listening promotion record for over a quarter of a million album streams in seven days.
