Catch 33



It all began with 1991’s »Contradictions Collapse«, but the MESHUGGAH legend was established through the likes of 1995’s groundbreaking »Destroy Erase Improve« and the band’s third record, 1998’s »Chaosphere«. In 2002, MESHUGGAH issued »Nothing«, which sold over 110,000 copies in the US and garnered the band an arena tour slot with TOOL, high validation from the biggest and most discerning progressive metal band on the planet at the turn of the decade. »Catch Thirtythree«, »obZen« and 2012’s immense »Koloss« solidified the band’s reputation as creative mavericks raising the reputation of what metal could be, resulting in status as the creators and godfathers of an entire progressive music style known as djent - even if the band has a somewhat ambivalent relationship with that tag or tags of any sort.



»The Violent Sleep Of Reason«, the band’s eighth full-length studio album, finds MESHUGGAH building upon their legacy for fearless metal sculpting within the context of extreme metal, but also recapturing some of the magic and excitement specifically within the aspect of performance, finding flow and groove that would be a challenge for any lesser band to locate, given such technical geometric madness at mischievous hand.
