In addition to this, they\u2019ve also added a one-off London show the following summer. The one-off London show is at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall on June 3, 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Swedish five-piece will start off their European run of dates in Vienna, Austria next November.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In December, the band will be going to the UK to perform in Bristol (December 5), Glasgow (December 6), Manchester (December 8) and Nottingham (December 9).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">They are currently working on their ninth studio album, which release will probably coincide with the tour launch.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Drummer Tomas Haake confirmed that the band has spent much of the downtime during the COVID-19 pandemic creating material for a new album.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Since March, we all kind of separated, and Jens [Kidman, vocals] took all his stuff and started working from home. And me and Dick [L\u00f6vgren, bass], the bass player, we usually work a lot together, but he also worked separately since then. But at this point, we&#8217;re back together, and we&#8217;re trying to hammer it out.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to Haake, working remotely hasn&#8217;t posed any huge any problems for him and his bandmates so far.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for the musical direction of the new MESHUGGAH material, Tomas said:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;Of course, we have a certain framework that we still wanna sound like MESHUGGAH, we wanna have that signature sound, we want people to be able to \u2014 even if they haven&#8217;t heard the song [before] \u2014 in the best-case scenario, it&#8217;s, like, &#8216;Oh, that&#8217;s gotta be MESHUGGAH,&#8217; even if it&#8217;s a brand new thing. So hopefully that&#8217;s something we&#8217;re aiming at. But with that said, as far as the music goes, we try to [do] kind of the opposite of what AC\/DC has been doing for 40 years. So we&#8217;re not trying to write the same album over and over. And whether we succeed with that or not, that&#8217;s more up to our fans and other people, but that&#8217;s definitely the aim. We try our best to kind of find new grips within the framework of what we&#8217;re supposed to be, I guess. &#8216;Cause we don&#8217;t wanna really step out of that either. We&#8217;re not looking to be another band all of a sudden or something that we haven&#8217;t been or that is not true to kind of what we&#8217;re doing.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Meshuggah\u2019s latest album \u201cThe Violent Sleep Of Reason&#8221; came out in 2016 and resulted in a &#8220;Best Metal Performance&#8221; Grammy nomination for the song &#8220;Clockworks&#8221;.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Meshuggah 2021 Tour<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Show Date and Time: November 19, 2021 \u2013 December 13, 2021<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Show Location: Vienna Arena, AUS \u2013 Hamburg Gro\u00dfe Freiheit, GER<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meshuggah have announced a European and UK tour for winter 2021.
