Swedish Death Metal band Meshuggah have released a video for “Nostrum.” The video is in the form of a lyric video, but utilizes the 360 degree feature, allowing viewers to finds the lyrics themselves. It’s a mind bending concept for a band that already twists listener’s heads with their atypical structuring in their songs. “Nostrum” features yet again Meshuggah bending the idea of polyrhythms and slamming them into chug heavy grooves. “Nostrum” is another single from the band’s upcoming release, The Violent Sleep Of Reason, out October 7th on Nuclear Blast Records.
Tomas Haake commented about the record, “Basically, the whole idea of why we chose the title is it kinda connects with the lyrical content of the album. Which is to a fair degree about current events and what you see is going on as far as terrorism today, extremist views on ideals, and religious dogma and the violent implications that you get from being asleep so to speak and not acting/reacting to what is going on in the proper way.”

The album was produced by the band and was engineered by Tue Madsen of Puk Studios in Kaerby, Denmark. For the cover, the band once again enlisted Keerych Luminokaya who created the artwork for Kolossand The Ophidian Trek as well as the new images for each of the 7 albums and 3 EP’s featured in the 25 Years of Musical Deviance box set.
