Meshuggah - Cancelling 2021 Summer Touring, New Music In The Works


Meshuggah have shared an update on their touring plans, as well as forthcoming studio album. Due to Covid-19 pandemic, they won't be able to perform on rescheduled tour dates next summer. On the other hand, the Swedes reveal that the work on their next full length offering and follow-up to 2016's The Violent Sleep Of Reason is underway. Full statement can be read below.

Statement from Meshuggah: "As previously communicated our intent was to keep our commitment to all festivals and shows planned for summer 2020, that couldn't take place due to the Covid-19 pandemic, by re-confirming them for the same dates in summer 2021. Full Force Festival is one of these festivals that has already been re-confirmed and re-announced. However, after seeing some of the other festivals move to completely different weekends in 2021, we eventually found it impossible to go ahead with the tour next summer due to logistical reasons. Which also means that Meshuggah have to cancel their planned appearance at Full Force 2021.

"Another influential part of the decision to not tour in summer 2021 is that Covid-19 restrictions have also affected Meshuggah's progress with a new studio album, to a point where we now see the need to keep summer 2021 clear to put finishing touches to the album.

Meshuggah and their management would like to apologize to all fans and promoters being affected by this. Some good news is to be found in here though: there is a new Meshuggah album coming..."

Haha, that's like saying "compose your own Metal album and upload it here, instead of writing a review of an album". :lol:

That's a shame. Meshuggah were one of my live highlights of last year. Still, I am excited for a new album (fast or slow, as long as it's heavy).

Same here. Can't for the new album, whatever direction they decide to take.

Twelve voices were shouting in anger, and they were all alike. The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
