(Earsplit) 2023 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of one of Meshuggah's earliest milestones: Chaosphere. Originally released on November 9th, 1998, the band's third full-length studio album shows the band toning down some of the thrashier sounds of previous releases in favor of the more technical, polyrhythmic, groove-oriented sound they would go to explore on subsequent albums.
To commemorate the album's quarter-century anniversary, Atomic Fire will unleash a sonically updated version of the album on November 10th. The re-release of this masterpiece comes in hi-def audio remastered by Thomas Eberger and Sofia von Hage at Stockholm Mastering on all streaming platforms, as well as a jewel case CD edition (incl. 8-page booklet), and stunning new vinyl colors (most are limited worldwide to under 1500 of each color, 180 grams, 2cLP in 5 mm Sleeve incl. 2-page insert), to complete every collector's dream.
Meshuggah will return to US and Canadian stages for a nineteen-date tour this November/December with support provided by special guests In Flames and Whitechapel. Produced by Live Nation, the journey begins on November 21st in San Diego, California and runs through December 16th in Laval, Quebec. The tour marks the first time in five years MESHUGGAH has played on Canadian soil. The final show will also include the addition of Voivod. See confirmed dates below.
