Meshuggah

"Born in Dissonance"

Djent masters Meshuggah's impact is incalculable, but the outfit are trying to explain their legacy in the first massive preview from their forthcoming The Violent Sleep of Reason LP. The band are currently streaming a crusher called "Born in Dissonance."

The track begins with a series of rhythmically complex, down-picked guitar chugging and a lean but destructive groove. Lyrically, the series of screams talk about origins, it being described that the subjects of the song are "an energy born in dissonance long before first ever star."

You can sample the heavy history lesson below, while The Violent Sleep of Reason will wake you up in full October 7 through Nuclear Blast.
