Believe it or not... but as you see, Meshuggah finally managed to get you guys a new website!

http://www.meshuggah.net/


Nothing fancy, nothing flashy... but hopefully more alive, more interesting and not to forget.... easier to update on the road for these website-retarded gentlemen.

Also, you as a fan can contribute to the content too!
More stuff will be added later..

Enjoy!

MESHUGGAH have issued the following update:

Listen up folks! New MESHUGGAH website in the works!
 
We have 3 request for you guys that we thought might be a fun thing to try and see how it works out.

1st. All of you who have some sort of Meshuggah tattoo on your body, please email a pic of it together with your name (if you want) and we'll put it up in a gallery called "Fan Tattoo's".
Just send it to: meshtats [at] meshuggah [dot] net

2nd. We know there must be tons of you guys that have pictures of yourself together with Meshuggah or someone in the band.... same thing goes here...also.. if you remember, please write down where & when it's from too and we'll put it up in the "Fan Pics" gallery.
Just send pic(s) + name to: meandmesh [at] meshuggah [dot] net


3rd. Also we've seen people making MESHUGGAH inspired art from time to time and we would like to show them at the new website for all to see.
So send your pic(s) and name (again, if you want) to: meshart [at] meshuggah [dot] net and we'll go through them and pick out the one's we think are cool and put them up in the "Fan Art" gallery.
 
Thanks a bunch!
Meshuggah

MESHUGGAH - VIDEO INTERVIEWS WITH TERRORIZER and GUITARIST MAGAZINE

Terrorizer Magazine's Jenn Selby conducted an interview with drummer Tomas Haake of Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH at this year's Knock Out festival, which was held on July 11-12, 2009 in Krakow, Poland. Watch the nine-minute chat by clicking here or below.




Marcin Kaminski of Poland's Guitarist Magazine conducted an interview with guitarist Marten Hagstrom of Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH at this year's Knock Out festival, which was held on July 11-12, 2009 in Krakow, Poland. Watch the chat in two parts below.





In a recent interview with the Sonisphere web site, MESHUGGAH guitarist Marten Hagstrom stated about the songwriting process for the band's next album, "We never write as such while we're on the road. What we've got is some leftovers from the last album that we could work on and pick up again. We're playing around with some loose ideas and I've got a couple that I'll start to work on when I get back home. But as far of really getting into it and just mashing away, that's going to happen in late August." He added, "I'd say right now we have one track that needs to be remodelled and then it's good to go. Apart from that, it's just bits and pieces right now."

When asked how long fans will have to wait before they get to hear the new MESHUGGAH stuff, Hagstrom said "Well, we're a really slow band. A lot of times there're four years between albums. Sometimes it has to do with the writing process itself, sometimes it's to do with the technical stuff, like how to go about the recording it. This one I'm thinking will be another two years — hopefully it's shorter."

MESHUGGAH - NO NEW ALBUM BEFORE 2011
Guitarist Mårten Hagström of of Swedish experimental extreme metallers MESHUGGAH was recently interviewed for the Sonisphere web site. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.

Q: You were just discussing your new music with Robert Trujillo from METALLICA. Can you tell us a bit more about it?

Hagström: We never write as such while we're on the road. What we've got is some leftovers from the last album that we could work on and pick up again. We're playing around with some loose ideas and I've got a couple that I'll start to work on when I get back home. But as far of really getting into it and just mashing away, that's going to happen in late August.

Q: How many tracks do you reckon you've got?

Hagström: I'd say right now we have one track that needs to be remodelled and then it's good to go. Apart from that, it's just bits and pieces right now.

Q: How long will it be before we get to hear the new stuff?

Hagström: Well, we're a really slow band. A lot of times there're four years between albums. Sometimes it has to do with the writing process itself, sometimes it's to do with the technical stuff, like how to go about the recording it. This one I'm thinking will be another two years — hopefully it's shorter.

Q: You've had a lot of critical acclaim in underground circles, but haven't quite crossed over into the mainstream yet. Are you planning to make the next album a little more accessible?

Hagström: No. There's very little consciousness involved in our song writing. What I mean by that is that we're very aware of what we do musically, but we're trying to cater to our own tastes. We're trying to keep our selves interested and listen to whatever comes up in our heads. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Whenever we get asked that question it's like how do we go about breathing. I do it, but I don't really know how or where it comes from. But, no, I don't think the next album is going to be more mainstream or accessible.

Q: You have a penchant for making new instruments and on "Catch Thirtythree" used a drum machine instead of a kit. Should we expect new instruments on the next album?

Hagström: For this one I don't think they'll be any. It's always been something that has come up because we needed to get something out of something else. For instance, with the eight-string guitars, people are like, "That's a lot of strings, why do you have them?" In reality, we've got the old guitar six-string setting on there because we need to play old stuff and so we have more ground to cover. But what we wanted was a longer scale and a baritone kind of approach to an electric guitar for the tone to get real down low and still have consistency. It was something we were lacking in our sound that we couldn't really find, so we were trying with some other guys that build guitars to find ways that would make it work, so it would sound correct.
