Sweden’s extreme, technical metal band Meshuggah have chosen
Koloss as the title to their eighth studio album, set for North American release on March 27th and European release on March 23rd.
Drummer Tomas Haake has issued the following warning:
“As always, we try to take our music in a slightly different direction with each album and with Koloss we feel that we really nailed what we were going for. Organic brutality, viscera and groove all crammed into a 54-minute metalicious treat, best avoided by the faint of heart!!”
