I was at my brother’s place last night with some friends fully engaged in the Sunday night ritual with dice and Mountain Dew in hands when I happened to glance at the TV screen where the Grammys ceremony was playing, fully expecting to see nothing but the same tired shit. I was half right.

Kanye West came on and at the first few bars I snapped up, forgetting he had done the Daft ripoff song at all. I assumed maybe someone’s entrance music for some stupid reason was Daft Punk (I mean who would that be if so?), because why on earth would they be at the Grammys? My eyes lingered for a second longer and to my surprise what do I see behind our overrated performer but a huge black pyramid!! Our table emptied instantly, we rushed into the room to see whether the duo would appear, all of us debating, doubting… (more…)

All Hail Meshuggah

Mmmmm math metal. Meshuggah returns in march with a new album that they have said departs from their last offering Catch 33, drawing from their past work. Thomas Haake is back on drums this time as well. As you may well know, I’m not the one screaming “put the drum machine down!” but this is definitely a welcome adjustment for them I feel.

Read the Blabbermouth article here

While Catch 33 was a bold experiment for Meshuggah to be sure, it surely lacked the ferocity and groove that their past work is known for. I for one, am very excited.

And just for the record, it’s not on every bittorrent site in the world right now. And I didn’t pirate that shit. And I’m definitely not listening to it right now. That would be wrong.
